FRANCIS GILL of 10 Back Nile Street Sunderland in the County of Durham Brass
Finisher do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to suspend the window frame that contains the glass
in any required possition by the use of friction rollers made and fixed in the described
manner, the friction rollers are made of brass or other suitable material covered with
rings made of Vulcanised India rubber or India rubber compound known by the name
of Woodite there are three rollers fixed in a brass frame working on steel pins
through the centre. The three rollers are fixed with a pressure against each other to
give sufficient friction to hold the weight of window frame, their is one brass frame
with three friction rollers in it fixed to each side at the top end of Glass frame and
one single roller fixed to bottom of each side of frame, the rollers are made to project
a little out from each side of frame so that when the frame containing the glass is
fixed into the frame of carriage door or other window frames they press against each
side to give sufficient fricktion to hold the glass frame in any required possition.
Dated this day the 18th of October 1887.
