page_text: I, EDWARD FOGG, of 37, Lincoln Road East, Peterborough, Gentleman, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved sash fastener for windows designed to
prevent rattling of the sashes, and also to preclude the possibility of tampering from
the outside.
In carrying out this invention a metal box is fitted on the inner sash meeting rail,
this box is open back and front, or it may be open at the side facing the outer sash
only. Through this box works a rectangular bolt. In the top of the box is formed
a slot along which moves a knob by means of which the bolt is actuated, this knob
has a stem with a screw thread formed on it designed to take in a tapped hole in the
said bolt. On the said stein immediately below the knob is placed a fixed disc or
plate. A second box is fitted to the outer sash open at one end and designed to
receive the bolt aforesaid. The bolt is moved backward or forward by means of the
knob and stem working in the slot, and by screwing down the stem into the bolt the
plate or disc is pressed down on to the top of the box, or boxes if the bolt be shot,
thus securing the bolt in any desired position and binding the sashes together. This
improved fastener may be made of brass iron, or other suitable material.

I, EDWARD FOGG, of 37, Lincoln Road, East, Peterborough, 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:

In order that the invention may be more clearly understood reference is had to the
accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. is a section of my improved sash
fastener and Fig. 2 is a plan of the same. A is the case fitted on the meeting rail B
and provided with the slot a in its upper side. Within this case is fitted a sliding
bolt C preferably rectangular in cross section and formed with a tapped hole c.
the screwed pin provided with the head or finger piece dand screwing into the tapped
hole in the bolt, also passing through the slot a. Below the head or finger piece,
the disc d¹ is formed which when the pin is screwed in presses on top of the case
and prevents the bolt moving. E is the second case fitted on the meeting rail B and
adapted to receive the end of the bolt when the latter is in locking position. This
arrangement allows the bolt to be securely fixed without danger of opening from the
outside.
:
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. An improved sash fastener having a case fitted on each meeting rail, a sliding
bolt within one of the said cases, a slot in the same case a screw pin passing through
the slot and engaging with the bolt and a disc on the said screw pin pressing on top
of the case substantially as and for the purposes specified.
2. An improved sash fastener having two cases one on each meeting rail, the
locking bolt in one of the cases and a screwed pin fitted to the bolt and secured by
incans of a flange constructed and operating substantially as described and shown
in the accompanying drawings and for the purposes specified.
