COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Windows and Window Fittings.
I, GEORGE MEAGER of 67, Evelyn Street Deptford S.E. Carpenter & Joiner
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
Improvements in the construction of sashes & frames in order to facilitate the
cleaning of the windows without incurring the risk of sitting or standing outside
on the sill. To explain my invention fully the sashes are hung with hinges to
slips of hard wood these slips are hung with pulleys & lines in the usual way and
secured to the sashes and frame with beads which are grooved & tongued into the
stiles of the sashes thus preventing the sashes from shifting out of place and thereby
can be opened into the room as an ordinary casement. window at the same time the
sashes can by means of being so attached to the slips be run up and down as
ordinary running sashes. The sashes can be fitted to hang folding as a pair of
casements or in one casement and when closed to shew as casements or as double
hung sashes as before described. The sashes can be also hung to the slips with
three leafed butts so as to open inside or outside.
In order that my said invention may be better understood I herewith append a
sheet of drawings shewing more clearly the working of same.
Figure 1, shews the elevation of the window towards the room, the lower part
represents a pair of casements, the upper part a single casement which can be used
as two pair of casements hung folding or in two single casements.
By referring to the plan Figure 2 "A" represents the slips referred to which
are grooved and tongued together into the frame upon which the windows are hung,
the slips are attached to the weights B and hung in the usual way of an ordinary
double hung sash.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
1. An easy means of converting existing double hung sash frames into casement
sashes for the purpose of cleaning the windows.
2. A preventive of accident consequent upon cleaning from the outside.
3. The effective and secure working of the sashes.
4. Economical in cost.
