IMPROVEMENTS IN RETAINING CARRIAGE WINDOWS OR SLIDES IN ANY POSITION
Year: 1885

page_text: I ALFRED EDWARD BINGEMANN of Glenholme, Hilltop Road West Hampstead,
London NW Middlesex, Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN RETAINING CARRIAGE WINDOWS OR SLIDES IN ANY POSITION
to be as follows:-
I make a metal hinge but with one flange curved to fit the top of a carriage
window ledge, the curved side drilled for screws and I rivet or bolt two steel lips
to upper flat flange shaped to fit into groves of a rack which I fix which I fix one
to each side of the sliding window, or I fix a piece of vulcanized india rubber to
the top edge of the upper flange and give the angle so that the sliding window
wedges itself against the rubbered top flange, by drawing away the upper flange
by the liandle which I fix in the centre, the window falls. I also make only one
lip part with handle, of this invention if it is only required to engage one side of
the sliding window.

I ALFRED EDWARD BINGEMANN of Glenholme, Hilltop Road, West Hampstead,
London, NW Middlesex, Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for RETAINING CARRIAGE WINDOWS OR SLIDES IN ANY POSITION and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
I make a metal hinge (a) but with one flange curved (b) to fit top of carriage
window ledge (c), or to explain the centre cross bar, I also make, should the window
slide close against the cross bar, a hinge of a different shape to suit circumstances
of peculiarity, the curved side I drill for screws, and I rivet, or bolt two steel
lips (d) to upper flat flange (a), shaped to fit into grooves of a rack (e), which I fix
to each side of sliding window (k) or I fasten a piece of india rubber (f), to
overlap the top edge of flat flange (a), and give the angle so that the sliding
window (k) wedges itself against the rubbered top flange (a f), and I also fix a
piece of india rubber on the inner side of the slide box, to extra resist the window
if necessary, by drawing away a handle (g), or lip, which I place usually in the
centre of the hinge, the window falls, I fix a piece of india rubber to catch the
sliding window, or prevent it from jarring. On the under side of my hinge,
I make a projection (h) to prevent the window from pressing the flat flange of
the hinge, beyond where its resistance will be most strongly exerted, I fix my
handle (g), so that the flange can only come away from the slide a certain distance,
so that with the weight, and peculiar balance of my handle (g), and also the weight
of my stops (h), the rubbered (fa) or toothed flange (da), continually rests against
the sliding window, unless withdrawn by the handle (g), I also only make one
rubbered, or toothed side, if only required to engage with one side of window.
I wish to observe that I do not limit myself to the details set forth, as the
arrangements may be made according to the slides, and the shape of my hinge
altered to the different windows to which it is to be applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The rubbered hinge (fa b), the lipped hinge (d a b), or standard based
ratchet in any shapes, for the detention or release of slides or windows.
2. The weighted handle (g), and the rubber for the prevention of jarring, or
extra resisting of the window (1).
3. The manufacture of the hinge, made, to naturally rest against the window,
and racks placed in the face of the slides for the purpose of retaining them
(windows) in position and also the projecting stops (h).
Dated this the 29th of August 1885.
