I, WILLIAM RIGBY, of Saw Mills, Radcliffe, near Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Contractor, 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:―
My invention has for its object to provide better, simpler and more durable
means for opening, closing and fastening or retaining mill, factory, warehouse,
workshop, or other windows arranged to swivel in the sash frame or casing, in any
desired position.
And in order that my invention may be better understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is a front view and Figs. 2 and 3 are vertical cross sections of a window
provided with my improved appliance.
In carrying out my invention I suitably fix a bracket a, of malleable iron or
other metal near the top on the side of the window or frame b, arranged to swivel,
and another similar bracket c, formed with a vertical hole, & provided with a
thumb or other suitable screw d near the bottom, and on the same side of the
window sash or casing e.
To this top bracket a I binge by means of a pin f or otherwise, one end of a
metal rod g the other end of which is passed through the vertical bole in the
bracket c & permitted to slide, & be fixed or retained in any position required by
means of the said thumbscrew d.
'
Having now described & ascertained the nature of this invention & in what
manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
Providing the window frame b with a bracket a, to which is hinged a rod, the
free end of this rod g. being capable of sliding either up or down & adjustment,
by means of a thumbscrew d in a slot formed in the bracket c fixed to the window
sash or casing e substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
