Improvements in and connected with Windows.
ROBERT FREDERICK DAMPIER of Dundonald Villa, Stoke, Devonport, in the
County of Devon, Surveyor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My invention relates to the improvements in opening of my window sashes,
(patented, date of Application 4th October 1892, No. 17675) for cleaning purposes
and removal of goods through the window frame. According to this my invention,
the stop beads pull inwards into the room, the parting beads also, can be taken out,
the window sashes can be taken into the room for cleaning purposes, the bottom
sash is supported by the two stop beads, and in this position the two sashes can be
raised or lowered as required-the two sashes can be pulled up to the ceiling, leaving
the whole space of window frame clear.
I also provide a special anti cord stretcher, in two forms, for attaching the ends
of cords to lower sash.
According to this my invention, the stop bead on each side, is cut into three
pieces, the top and bottom piece is fixed, the centre piece is fastened by a special
brass screw, which is put about two inches up from the lower end and into the style
of the frame; the upper part of the bead is fixed by a special made brass turn screw
and plates, the plates are let into the styles, and into the stop beads, also into the
outer face of lower sash; by these special screws the stop beads are fixed and by
turning these two screws, the stop beads are freed, and can be pulled inward into
the room, and the lower sash can then be also pulled into the room and supported
by the two stop beads; the special head of the turn-screw fitting into the plates
on the lower sash.
The sashes are so fixed that they can be worked up or down for cleaning, in the
room, also the parting beads are made to take out, and when taken out, the two
sashes can be pulled up to the ceiling by a small line, attached to a small eye in the
ceiling, and then the whole space of the window is open.
I also fit a special anti-cord-stretcher in two forms for attaching the ends of the
cords, which are let into the sides of the lower sash, this is for large and plate
glass windows, as the cords may stretch with the weight, and change of weather,
and if this takes place, a turn or two of the anti cord-stretcher, will lengthen or
shorten the cords as may be required to keep the meeting rails level.
This lengthening or shortening can be done by anyone, as no refixing the cords
is required when once fixed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Windows.
I ROBERT FREDERICK DAMPIER, of Dundonald Villa, Stoke Devonport, in
the County of Devon, Surveyor 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 relates to the improvements in opening of my window sashes,
patented, date of Application 4th of October 1892, No. 17675, for cleaning
purposes, and for removing of goods through the window frames, which has to
CD 037

page_text: be done in business premises, and others. According to this my invention the stop
bead on each side of the window frame, is cut into two pieces, the bottom piece is
fixed, the other piece is fastened by a special brass screw, which is put about
2" inches up from the lower end, and into the stile of frame. The upper part of
this bead is fixed by a special made brass turn screw, and plates, the plates are let
into the stiles, and into the stop beads, also into the outer face of lower sash; by
these special screws the stop beads are fixed, and by turning these two screws, the
stop beads are freed, and can be pulled inwards into the room, and the lower sash
can then be also pulled into the room, and supported by the two stop beads; the
special head of the turn screw fitting into the plates on outside face of lower sash,
the sashes when so fixed can be worked up or down for cleaning in the room,
also the parting beads are made to take out, and when taken out the two sashes
can be pulled into the room and up to the ceiling by a small line, attached to a
small eye in the ceiling and then the whole space of the window is open, I also
fit a special anti cord stretcher in two forms, for attaching the end of cords, which
are let into the sides of the lower sash, this is for large, and plate glass windows,
as the cords may stretch with the weight and change of weather, and if this takes
place, a turn or two of the anti cord stretcher, will lengthen or shorten the cords
as may be required to keep the meeting rails level on top. This lengthening or
shortening can be done by anyone as no refixing the cords is required when once
fixed.
And in order that this my invention may be fully understood and readily carried
into effect I will now proceed to describe same with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which similar letters of reference refer to like parts in all the
figures.
Fig. 1. is elevation of inside of window.
Fig. 2. is a vertical section of window, showing one side of the lower window
Bash a. in the room supported on the stop bead c. b. is the top sash. Both sides of
the window are the same. The two sashes a. and b. the one resting on the stop
beads c. and the other hanging in the frame, will work up and down in this
position as required for cleaning purposes.
Fig. 3. is a vertical section of window showing the two sashes a. and b. pulled
up to the ceiling, a portion of the parting bead being removed and the stop
bead c. also pulled into the room, which can be put back into its place, whilst
the sashes a. and b. are fixed to the ceiling, thus the whole of the window space
is quite clear for taking goods in or out through the window.
Fig. 4. is full size detail of the special turn screw e. made of brass or iron, which
is fixed to the stop beads c. which also screws into the plates fixed into the window
frame and one part of the head fits into the plates which is let into the outside
face of lower gash a.
Fig. 5. is full size of front elevation of anti cord stretcher d. made of brass or
iron which is let into the sides of lower sash a. The cord g. is put through the
threaded tube and a knot is tied which is protected by the cup at bottom of same,
the socket on the plate is threaded, and the tube can be turned either way by the
cup at bottom of tube, which will lengthen or shorten the cord as may be desired
to keep the meeting rails of the window quite level and even.
Fig. 6. is side elevation of anti cord-stretcher d. let into the side of lower
sash a.
Fig. 7. is also a anti cord stretcher k. for; lighter weight windows, the socket of
this plate is not threaded but the cord passes through the threaded brass, tube
and a knot is tied. The nutt h. can be turned by the finger either way to lengthen
or shorten the cord as desired.
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.
