Improvements in Windows, Casements or the like.
I, SAM FARNELL, of 18, Prospect View, Ambler Thorn, near Halifax, in the
County of York, Joiner and Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct windows or casements particularly
French casements or lights, so as to be dust, draught, water and burglar proof.
I mount upon the casement preferably near the top and bottom of the sash,
suitable vertical studs, shafts, or pins supported in brackets attached to the said
casement; mounted upon these studs are the hinges of the sash, one fixed, the
other loose. The bottom stud or shaft is preferably threaded at its lower end,
and a threaded bush upon which is cast a mitre wheel which engages with the
thread upon the stud, a second mitre wheel carried in a suitable bracket gears
with this wheel and is operated by handle upon the square of its shaft. or other
means. I also construct the sash frame and the casement so as to form a
rebate joint when closed, at the top of the casement is a recess to allow of the
traverse of the window when requiring to open same, a suitable hinged flap
operated by cord or other means opens and closes up this recess when opening or
closing the window.
The action is as follows:-upon requiring to open the window, the handle
operating the mitre wheel upon being turned raises the studs by means of the
thread upon same, so lifting the window, the hinged flap having previously
been raised to allow for this being done, the window is raised until the rebate
edges of the sash and casement clear, when the window may be opened, upon the
window being closed, the handle is reversed and the window lowered and secured,
suitable brackets and socket or stud upon the sash and casement, in connection
with a thumbscrew, may be employed as a further security.

page_text: invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:—
The object of my invention is to construct windows or casements, particularly
French casements or lights, so as to be dust, draught, rain, and burglar proof.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a casement or window, with my improvements
applied, and showing the window open.
Fig. 2 is a back view of Fig. 1 showing window closed.
Fig. 3 is a side view of device for opening closing, and securing the said
window.
Fig. 4 is a sectional end view of a portion of the sash or window showing the
space provided to allow of window moving vertically.
I mount upon the casement M preferably near the top and bottom of the
sash A, suitable vertical studs, shafts, or pins B, supported in brackets C attached
to the said casement, mounted upon these studs are the hinges D, E, of the sash,
the bottom one E is preferably fixed, (by means of the screwed stud E²,) and the
top one loose, upon their respective studs or pins B.
The bottom stud or shaft is preferably threaded at its lower end E¹, and an
internally threaded bush F, upon which is cast a mitre wheel G, mounted upon
the same; a second mitre wheel H also carried in a suitable bracket J, gears
with this wheel G, and is operated by handle K upon the square of its shaft L,
or other means.
I also construct the sash frame with rebate edges, and the sides and bottom
of the casement M in a similar manner, so as to form a rebate joint when closed,
such joint sloping from the inside makes the same rain proof.
At the top of the casement I also provide extra space N, to allow of the traverse
or vertical movement of the window A when requiring to open same; a suitable
ornamental wing or slab P attached to the window covers up this recess.
The action as follows:-Upon requiring to open the window, the handle K
upon being turned, operates the mitre wheels H and G, rotating the bush F,
which, acting on the screwed part E¹, raises the bottom stud B, the hinge E
being fixed upon this stud lifts the window, the top hinge D as the window is
raised, being loose, slides up its stud or pin. The window is raised until the
rebate edges of the sash and casement clear, see Fig. 1, when the window may be
opened. Upon the window requiring to be closed, the handle is reversed, and
the window lowered and secured, see Fig. 2.
If desired suitable brackets and socket or stud upon the sash and casement, in
connection with a thumbscrew, or any other suitable sash fastener, may be
employed as a further security.
By this construction and arrangement of mounting and opening of casements
and windows, particularly of the French" pattern, it is impossible for rain,
dust, or draught to enter, as the rebate joint sloping from the inside, is proof
against the same; also, it is impossible to open the window from the outside, on
account of such window being required to rise vertically preparatory to being
opened, and the handle K not being a fixture may answer for a whole series of
windows, and be hung up in any convenient place."
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. Mounting or hinging French and other similar windows upon vertical studs
pins, or shafts B, one fixed, the other loose within suitable brackets C, attaching
hinge E to the loose pin or shaft B, the screwed bush F operated, and operating
upon the screwed part El, of the said loose pin or shaft, in the manner and for the
purposes set forth.
2. In mounting or hinging French and other similar windows, the use and
employment of a shaft L operated by handle K, gear wheels G, H, and screwed

page_text: bush F, operating upon the screw E¹ of the loose stud or shaft B, for the purposes
set forth.
3. Constructing the sashes of French and other similar windows opening inside,
with rebate edges and fitting within corresponding surfaces in the casement,
sloping from the inside such sashes being hinged and operated in the manner and
for the purposes substantially as set forth.
