PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Sash Fasteners.
We, JOHN ICELY WARMAN, Bicycle Manufacturer of Coventry, and FRANCIS
SAMUEL COLLYER, Toy & Fancy Dealer, of 10 Smithford Street Coventry do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:--
My invention relates to improvements in sash fasteners and has for its object to
lock the sashes of a window frame in any desirable position and thus to dispense
with cords and weights.
In carrying my invention into practice, I arrange the sashes to move up and
down between solid vertical guides and I form a box shaped space on one side of
the window frame preferably on the right hand side between the corresponding
guide and the outer edge of the said frame. Below the said guide and against the
back of the frame an iron plate is arranged in a central recess or depression formed
in the said back. This plate is furnished with a central tapped perforation with
which engages for the purpose of locking and unlocking the two sashes, the screw
threaded end of a long screw passing through a central perforation formed in the
guide aforesaid, and through another perforated plate placed on the top of the
guide, these two plates extending respectively under and above the right hand
vertical bars of the two sashes. The screw is furnished in front with a shoulder
carrying a central quadrangular bolt destined to receive a key by means of which
the screw can be fixed or loosened, thus locking in the first case the two vertical
bars of the two sashes between the two iron plates in whatever position these
sashes may be placed.

Improvements in Sash Fasteners.
We, JOHN ICELY WARMAN, Bicycle Manufacturer of Coventry, and FRANCIS
SAMUEL COLLYER, Toy and Fancy Dealer, of 10 Smithford Street, Coventry,
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 :-
Our invention relates to improvements in sash fasteners, and has for its object to
lock the sashes of a window frame in any desirable position, and thus to dispense
with cords and weights if desired.
and
In carrying our invention into practice, we arrange the sashes to move up
down between solid vertical guides, and we form a box shaped space on one side of
the window frame, preferably on the right hand side, between the corresponding
guide and the outer edge of the said frame. Below the said guide and against the
back of the frame an iron plate is arranged in a central recess or depression formed
in the said back. This plate is furnished with a central tapped perforation with
which engages, for the purpose of locking and unlocking the two sashes, the screw
threaded end of a long screw passing through a central perforation formed in the
guide aforesaid, and through another perforated plate placed on the top of the
guide, these two plates extending respectively under and above the right hand
vertical bars of the two sashes. The screw is furnished in front with a shoulder or
split pin, and a projection or recess to receive a key by means of which the screw

two sashes between the two iron plates in whatever position these sashes may be
placed.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings
Fig. 1 is a plan of our device, with the window casing in section, and Fig. 2 a
front elevation showing the upper sash lowered for a short distance.
1, 2 are the plates used to grip the sashes, 1 being at the outside, and having a
screwed perforation, into which takes the screwed end of the rod 3, the other end
of which passes through the hole in the plate 2, and has a cylindrical enlargement
or collar 4, abutting against the face of the plate, and a square end 5, on to which
the barrel of the key 6 fits, so that on turning it in one direction the plates are
drawn together, and on turning it in the other the sashes are released.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In a sash fastener the combination of two plates 1 and 2, with suitable
perforations, a rod 3 having one end screwed, and a collar or split pin near the
other end, which is shaped to allow a suitable key to engage with it, substantially
as described and for the purposes specified.
Dated this 8th day of March 1892.
