PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Sliding Window Sashes.
I, SIDNEY HERBERT BAINES, of 10 Cobourg Street, Leeds, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
-
The object of my invention is to construct ordinary sliding window sashes for
railway and other carriages, houses, and the like, so that they are supported in
position by friction, preferably spring friction, thus straps, weights, ropes, and the
like are dispensed with.
I construct the window sashes at one or both sides with a projecting end or tab
of metal or other suitable material, such end or tab works between the slot or grip
of a tubular or other spring clip, the grip of such spring being sufficient to
overcome the weight of the window; the said spring clip is secured within the
casement, and is the length of the window, or other convenient length, and may be
adjustable as to the amount of its grip.
To prevent the water or wind from getting through the window when in a closed
position I pivot in its frame at or near the bottom a metal or other flap which lays
vertical in a suitable recess in the frame until the window is closed, when it drops
down over the outside of the frame and when the window is put down it is
automatically pushed back into the vertical position within the recess.
Antifriction runners may be fixed at intervals on the faces of the tab.
The ledge now used for the window to be pushed on to when closed is dispensed
with and the window can be opened and closed from the outside as well as from
within, when required.

1, SIDNEY HERBERT BAINES, of 10 Cobourg Street, Leeds, Gentleman, 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 :-
The object of my invention is to construct ordinary window sashes for railway
and other carriages, houses, and the like, so that they are supported in position
by friction, preferably spring friction, thus straps, weights, ropes, and the like are
dispensed with.

page_text: Fig. 3, is an enlarged plan of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4, is an enlarged sectional plan showing spring clip sunk in the sash.
I construct the window frames or casement A at both sides with a projecting
end, rib or tab B of metal or other suitable material, such end, rib or tab B passes
or works between the slot or grip C of tubular or other spring clips D, upon the
sash E, the grip of such spring clips D being sufficient to overcome the weight
of the window, the said spring clips D are secured upon the window sashes and
may be the length of the window, or other convenient length, and may be
adjustable as to the amount of its grip.
Or the projecting ends, ribs, or tabs B may be fixed on the window sashes A
and the tubular spring clips D upon the window frame or casement.
Anti-friction runners may be fixed at intervals on the faces of the projecting
rib or tab.
In Fig. 4, the spring clips D are sunk in the sash, at any required positions,
the object of this is to save cutting out or recessing the casement A. to fix the
ribs or tabs B in position.
In some cases the spring clips may be upon the easements and the ribs or tabs
upon the sash.
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. A sliding window having ribs or tabs B, and spring clips D engaging on the
said ribs or tabs B, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The combination with a window casement A of ribs or tabs B and spring
clips D upon the sliding sash, substantially as set forth.
