AN IMPROVED SASH FRAME PULLEY
Year: 1884

page_text: SAMUEL GUINERY of Albion Cottage, West Hill, Epsom, Surrey, House Decorator,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN IMPROVED SASH FRAME
PULLEY to be as follows: -
The front of my improved pulley represents three circles one under the other in
a direct line slightly interseeting each other, in the centre is the usual opening for
the pulley wheel and cord, at, and near the bottom there is a frame cast on the
back of the front described above to receive the wheel, this frame is closed at the
bottom but open at the back and top, the sides form the bearings on which the axle
of the wheel revolves, the back portion of these sides is higher than the front and
incline sharply down towards the front terminating at the point where the axle
works, by this arrangement the wheel put in at the back slides down the incline to
its bearings, requiring no fitting, and when fixed in the Window frame it cannot
possibly come out.
To fix the improved pulley which is made slightly larger in front than at the
back it is only necessary to bore three holes of corresponding size with a centre bit
and drive it in tightly with a mallet, but in order to prevent the possibility of its
getting loose I provide holes for screws just inside the front and as the wheel will
readily recede from the front up the inclined sides they may be easily inserted.
The advantages of the Improved pulley consist in its simplicity, low cost, and
saving of time in fixing.

page_text: I SAMUEL GUINERY of Albion Cottage, West Hill, Epsom, Surrey, House
Decorator do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVED SASH
FRAME PULLEY and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
The front figure 1, and frame or body F fig. 2 of my improved pulley represent
three circles one under the other in a direct line somewhat intersecting each other
in which holes may be provided for screws C, in the centre is the opening D for the
wheel and cord the frame F which receives the wheel E is cast on the back of the
front fig. 1, this frame is open at the back sufficiently wide to admit the wheel E
the sides forming the bearings B which may be brass bushed or not on which the
axle H of the wheel E revolves, there are openings L in. the sides of the frame F
which incline sharply down towards the front terminating at the point B where the
axle H works, by this arrangement the wheel E put in at the back slides down the
incline L to its bearings B, requiring no fitting, and when the pulley is fixed in its
position in the window frame usually called the pulley stile the thickness of the
stile being greater than the width from i to J it overhangs the top of the wheel E
and prevents its coming out, to fix the improved pulley fig. 1 which is made slightly
larger in front than at the back it is only necessary to bore three holes with a
centre bit of one size corresponding with the size of the pulley and drive it in
tightly with a mallet or other suitable appliance, it can therefore be fixed with
great rapidity, no screws whatever are needful but they may be used if desired in
the positions C hereinbefore indicated, and as the wheel will readily recede from
the front up the inclined openings L they may be easily inserted, in fixing fig. 3
which is similar to fig. 1 but with a circular face piece at top and bottom with holes
for screws additional holes will have to be bored in the pulley stile to a proper
depth to receive these circular pieces.
Figs. 1 and 3 are front views, figs. 2 and 4 side views with brass faces A. and
bushes B, fig. 5 is a side view of wheel E, and fig. 6 a front view of ditto-if the
pulley is not brass faced or bushed it will consist of two pieces only the front and
frame forming one piece and the wheel the other, no fitting whatever being
required.
The advantages of this invention consist in its simplicity, strength, low cost, and
great saving of time in fixing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is, the formation of the front and frame or body of the pulley substantially
as described and represented in the annexed drawings.
Dated this 4th day of December 1884.
