Improvements in Sash Fasteners and Openers.

Joiner do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This fastener is so arranged, that when the sash is drawn up oy the cords attached
to ring of same, and passing over the pullies screwed into the head of sash frame, it
will immediately fasten itself, and by pulling down the cords, not passing over the
pullies will instantly open; the bottom sash will also fasten itself when pressed down
on cill of frame and will instantly open when raised by the sash lift attached to
fastener.
The principal feature of this Invention is that neither top or bottom sash can be
left unfastened when properly closed; or the bottom sash may be left securely fastened
while the top is open for ventilation, as each sash fastens independently.
The catch A of this fastener is securely fixed to the head of the sash frame. The
bolt and levers are in an iron case let into the stile of sash and secured to same with
screws.
To open the sash pull the cord E when the lever Cattached to ring will
the bolt B from the catch A and so allow the sash to open.
press back
To close the sash pull the cord D which passes over the pullies F screwed into the
head of sash frame when the lever C will force back the spring holt B and when
closed will return over catch A and so effectually fasten the sash.
The fastening to bottom sash is constructed in similar manner only that the catch A
is fixed to the cill of frame. The opening and closing is effected by sash lifts instead
of by cords as at top.

Improvements in Sash Fasteners and Openers.
JAMES MANDER, 22 Penton Residences Rising Hill Street Pentonville London N.
Joiner 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, reference being made to the drawings filed with my provisional
specification:-
The sash fastener is let in flush and fixed on the inside of top rail and stile of sash,
the catch A for securing the sash is fixed on the under side of head of sash frame.
The cords E and D are secured to the ring H connected to the lever C inside of
Fastener. The closing cord D passes over the pulley f screwed into the head of sash
frame and hangs in sufficient length with handle attached to same (there will be cords
and pulley on the left hand of sash so as to steady the opening and closing). To open
the top sash pull the cord E connected with the ring and not passing over the
pulley F when the lever C will press back the bolt B from catch A and so allow the
sash to pull down; to close same pull the cord D which passes over the pulley F
and draw the sash up to its proper position when the catch A will strike back the
spring bolt B which closes again immediately the catch A passes the bolt and so
effectually secures the sash.
The Fastening of bottom sash is constructed in similar manner the difference
being that the lever C is connected with the sash lift G instead of cords as at H. To
open the sash pull up the sash lifts G when the lever C will press back the spring bolt B
and so allow the sash to rise. To close same press down the sash to its proper place

the catch A passes the bolt B.
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―
1st. Easy method of opening and closing window sashes.
2nd. That by this method the bottom sash may be left perfectly secure while the
top sash may be left open for ventilating purposes.
3rd. That this method entirely takes away all risk of leaving window sashes un-
fastened when closed and are also perfectly burglar proof there being no means of
forcing back the bolts the catches being securely fixed to the head and sill of frame
prevents that.
