Fig. 1. shows a sectional elevation of sash and casement, with spring hinged
inside draught, dust, and rain guard, at top, and bottom.
Fig. 2. shows plan of hinged end of sash, with hinge in position.
Fig. 3. shows plan of fastening end of casement with hinged, wind, dust, and rain,
guard, for breaking the joint of fastening end of sash and casement.
Fig. 4. shows plan of meeting bars where double sashes are used.
Fig. 5. shows plan of slotted plate which is attached to casement at top and
bottom and forms part of hinge for windows or doors.
Fig. 6. is an elevation of Fig. 5.
Fig. 7. shows pin plate, which is attached to sash bar at the top, and bottom, and.
forms the other part of the hinge.
Fig. 8. is elevation of Fig. 7.
A is section of top rail of sash, B is bottom rail of sash, D and E are top, and
bottom of casement, F, F, are wind, dust, and rain guards, secured by screws G,.
and spiral or other springs H, and which are easily turned outwards, so as to clear
the sash (see direction of arrows) when required to open inwards (see Fig. 1).
At the side of the casement, at the opening end is another wind, and weather
guard F, hinged to the casement, this also opens inwards, to clear the sash for
opening, and also its tang piece P, when turned out leaves a space in the casement,.
for the sash as it turns in the slots of its hinge, when the sash is closed, it abuts
against the tang with its bevelled side. When the double sash is used the meeting
styles are shown as at Fig. 4. one sash opening outwards, and the other inwards.
Fig. 2. shows plan of hinge end of sash with plates J, and K, forming the hinge,.
the plate J is secured to the casement at top, and bottom, by screws, and has two
radial slots L. L, the outer ends L' of which are partly cut away to the outside.
The plate K which is secured to the top, and bottom of the sash, has pins M, M,
and a shorter centre pin N. When the sash is required to open inwards the
guards F, F, and F¹ are turned outwards, and so make room for the sash to turn.
upon its hinges, the pins M, M, N moving within the slots, the sash can be opened
either way for cleaning or other purposes, the plates J are preferably dovetailed.
into the casement, and the plates K are let into the sash, level with it."

page_text: When required the whole sash, and plates, can be taken out bodily, by first
taking out the screws, and removing the hinged guards F, F, and F, at top, bottom,
and side. Should any rain or moisture get within the casement it will drain off
at R (see Fig. 1).
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. Constructing the sashes, casements, and hinges of windows, so that they can
open either outwards, or inwards and at the same time be weatherproof substantially
as shown and described.
2. The construction of hinges for casement windows or doors consisting of the
radial slotted plates, and pin plates substantially as shown and described.
