Improvements in Sash Line Fasteners.
JOHN THOMPSON HAYNES, Milford, Hartland, near Bideford, N. Devon,
Agriculturist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
My invention relates to means for securing the ends of sash lines to window or
other sliding sashes in such a manner that broken lines may be easily & readily
replaced without removing the sash from its frame. For this purpose I insert a
V-shaped metal case at the top of each side bar of the sash, & I fix it in position
by wood screws or other means. This case is provided with internal grooves or
other guides to receive or engage with corresponding ribs or guides on a metal
sliding piece, to which the end of the sash line is attached in any desired manner.
The case may
This sliding piece is fixed in the case by screws or other means
have a bracket to extend along the top bar & to be fixed to it by wood screws or
other means, and the sliding piece may be fixed to this bracket by a separate
plate and metal screws. A hole may be formed near the top of the sliding piece
to enable it to be easily withdrawn when it is desired to replace a broken line.

In order that my invention may be clearly understood the following drawings
are appended.
Fig. 1, is a front elevation of the complete fastener.
Fig. 2, is a side elevation of the fastener.
Fig. 3, is a section of the sliding piece.
Fig. 4, is a section of the metal case.
Fig. 5, is a plan of the fastener.
Fig. 6, is an elevation of the sliding piece.
I insert a V shaped metal case shown in Fig. 1, at the top of each bar of the
sash, & I fix it in position by wood screws a a or other means. This case is pro-

page_text: vided with internal grooves f or other guides to receive or engage with correspond-
ing ribs 9 or guides on the metal sliding piece, shown in Figs. 3, & 6, to which
the end of the sash line is attached in any desired manner at e.
The sliding piece is fixed in the case by screws or other means. The case may
have a bracket i to extend along the top bar and to be fixed to it by wood
screws a or other means, and the sliding piece may be fixed to this bracket by a
separate plate h & metal screws c c as in Figs. 2, & 5. A hole 6 may be formed

Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1. A sash line fastener consisting of a metal case in which is secured a suding
piece attached to the line substantially as hereinbefore described & shown in the
accompanying drawings Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
2. In the sash line fastener herein before described, the method of attaching the
sliding piece to the metal case by means of a plate h fixed to the bracket i by
means of screws e substantially as described.
