Lancashire, JAMES HOLDING, Overlooker of Power Looms, Heapey, near Chorley,
Lancashire, 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:-
This invention we describe as follows we secure a clock spring or other Hat coil
spring to the window frame and window case one end of the spring being secured
to one side of the window-frame the other end is secured to same side of the
window case thus when the window is lifted up or put down the spring will con-
tract or expand according to the movement of the window and will hold the same

The whole drawing on Sheet No. 1, represents a railway carriage door, with the
front of lower part removed to show the working of the novelty. A A is the frame
of the door, BB the frame of the sliding window, is the crossbar, and M. the
lower portion of door extending at the back from C to the bottom, G is the pane of
glass in frame B B. At D a coil of clock spring of required strength is fixed to

page_text: keep the window up, down, or in any required position. The coil D is fixed by
a screw I, to the lower part of window and the free end is carried up the side of
the case to a point F where it is fastened by a screw at that point to the inside of
the case.
In addition to the coil D, two small portions of spring E, E, are fixed
to the side of the case and below the point F, and these assist the coil to keep the
window in any required position. H is the handle by which the window is
lowered or raised, and to acquire the full value of the invention, one would he
fixed both to inside and outside of window, so as to open or shut the window from
inside or outside of carriage.
This invention would also be used for sash windows, and in this case two springs
would be fixed in brackets at the top of the case, one on the right and the other
on the left, the first to balance the bottom part and the second to balance the top
part.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
-
1 A coil of flat spring, or two if they should be required, affixed to railway
carriage or other sash windows, to keep them open, shut, or in any required
position.
2 That the invention will do away with the use of straps on railway carriage
windows, and cords, weights, & pulleys on other windows.
