We, EDWIN VERITY and JOSHUA MARLAND VERITY, both of Call Lane, Leeds,
in the County of York, Ironmongers, and BENJAMIN BANKS, of Leeds Yard,
Meadow Lane, Leeds aforesaid, Brass Worker, do hereby declare the nature of our
said invention to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to manufacture an improved arrangement for
swing and reversible windows, doors, and analogous articles, consisting of a split
or slotted pivot and sliding weather bar, separately or combined.
In carrying out our invention as applied to any ordinary pivoted window, we
form rebates in the outer frame, and fit moveable slips into such rebates, leaving
grooves of sufficient width to admit moveable weather bars. Corresponding grooves
are formed in the sash frame.
On each side of the sash we fit into the rebated jamb of the outer frame, the
slotted pivot and weather bar, either separately or combined. If the pivot is used
without the weather bar the same may be solid instead of being slotted.
The slotted pivot is formed with two flanges corresponding with the depth of
the bar and rebate in the outer frame.
The slot in the pivot extends the necessary distance beyond the rebate to allow
the bar to enter the groove in the sash stile.
On one of the faces of the weather bar we fit bevel-edged pulley wheels in
suitable positions; and at one end, or in any other desired position, we fix to the
same face of the bar a plate with a horizontal or other groove. We also fix in the
rebate of the outer frame a pair of brackets, having each a slot or groove to fit
the pulley wheels on the bar, the grooves being at a certain angle to the face of
the jamb. An eccentric, crank, or equivalent device, the pin of which travels in
the horizontal groove or slót of the plate on the bar..
By means of a handle or lever attached to the 'eccentric or crank the bar may be
raised or lowered, and the operation of the inclined slots causes the bar to enter or
leave the slot in the sash frame.
When the bar is withdrawn from the sash frame into the rebate, the sash is
capable of being revolved upon the pivot for ventilation or other purposes,

page_text: When the bar is in its highest or lowest position, it is securely locked in such
position; and when it is thrust forward into the groove in the sash frame it
renders the same secure & weather tight.
It is obvious that modifications will be made in the application of our invention
to windows of various constructions, and to doors and analogous articles.

We, EDWIN VERITY and JOSHUA MARLAND VERITY, both of Call Lane, Leeds,
in the County of York Ironmongers, and BENJAMIN BANKS of Lees Yard, Meadow
Lane, Leeds aforesaid, Brass Worker, do hereby declare the nature of our said
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 our invention is to manufacture an improved arrangement for
swing and reversable windows, doors, and analogous articles, consisting of a split
or slotted pivot and sliding weather bar, separately or combined.
In carrying out our invention as applied to an ordinary pivoted window we
form rebates in the outer frame and fit moveable slips into such rebates, leaving
grooves of sufficient width to admit moveable weather bars. Corresponding grooves
are formed in the sash frame.
า
On each side of the sash we fit into the rebated jamb of the outer frame, the
slotted pivot and weather bar, either separately or combined. If the pivot is used
without the weather bar the same may be solid instead of being slotted.
The slotted pivot is formed with two flanges, corresponding with the depth of
the bar and rebate in the outer frame. The slot and the pivot extends the
necessary distance beyond the rebate to allow the bar to enter the groove in the
sash stile.
On one of the faces of the weather bar we fit bevel-edged pulley wheels in
suitable positions; and at one end or in any other desired position we fix to the
same face of the bar a plate with a groove. We also fix in the rebate of the outer
frame a pair of brackets, having each a slot or groove to fit the pulley wheels on
the bar, the grooves being at a certain angle to the face of the jamb.
An eccentric, crank, or equivalent device, the pin of which travels in the groove
or slot of the plate on the bar.

page_text: by means of a mandle or lever attached to the eccentric or crank the par may ve
raised or lowered, and the operation of the inclined slots causes the bar to enter or
leave the slot in the sash frame.
When the bar is withdrawn from the sash frame into the rebate, the sash is
capable of being revolved upon the pivot for ventilation or other purposes.
When the bar is in its highest or lowest position, it is securely locked in such
position, and when it is thrust forward into the groove in the sash frame it renders
the same secure and weather tight.
It is obvious that modifications will be made in the application of our invention
to windows of various constructions, and to doors and analogous articles.
And in order that our said invention may be particularly described and
ascertained reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which
similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is an elevation (partly in section) of a pivotted sash.
Fig. 2 is a partial elevation.
Fig. 3 is a side view of the window frame.
Fig. 4 is a section on the line a b of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a side view with the bar e.
Fig. 6 is a section of the bar e and
Fig. 7 is an edge view of the bar e. c is the frame of the sash. d is one of the
slotted pivots, having flanges -The sash is capable of swinging upon the
pivots when the weather bar e is withdrawn from the groove f. gg are brackets
having angular slots; these slots are also formed so as to receive the dove-tail or
bevel edged pulley wheels or anti-friction rollers h h. r is a handle for moving the
weather bar by means of the crank k working in the curved slot in the plate
fixed to the weather bar e.
In fig. 1 the weather bar e is shown projected into the groove f of the sash stile.
In fig. 2 the weather bar e is shown withdrawn, the sash being then free to
revolve on the pivot.
In fig. 3 the bar e is seen edgewise.
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. The method of, and means and apparatus for, fitting weather bars to swing
and reversible windows, doors, and analogous articles, substantially as herein
before described and shewn on the drawings.
2. The general construction, arrangement, and combination of the several and
respective parts, together forming our improved pivot and weather-bar arrangement
for swing and reversible windows, doors, and analogous articles, substantially as
herein before described and shewn on the drawings.
