COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means for Glazing Windows, Hot Houses, and
the like.
I, ROBERT SCHAELLIBAUM. of Lowell, in the State of Massachusetts, U.S.A.,
Engineer, 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:-
This invention relates to means for securing window glasses or panes in the
sashes thereof, and also for securing the glass in the frames of the covers of hot
houses, and for other and similar purposes, and the invention is fully disclosed in
the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in
which,
Fig. 1 is a front view of a portion of the sash of a window showing a portion of
a glass secured therein, by means of my improved fastening device; and,
Fig. 2, a section on the line 2, 2.
In the drawing forming part of this specification, A represents a portion of the
window sash and B a part of the glass, secured therein, by means of my improved
fastening device or devices D.
My improved fastening devices are composed of a flat piece or strip d, of metal
at one end of which is a shoulder or projection d2, and in practice, the strip d, is
secured to the frame of the sash, in such manner that the shoulder or projection d 2,
presses against the glass as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The strips or plates d, may be secured to the sash by screws as shown at E, in
Fig. 2, or they may be provided with teeth or projections F, which are cut from
the material thereof, as is also shown in Fig. 2, said teeth or projections being
adapted to be forced into the sash so as to hold the fastening device in place.
These fastening devices may be cut or stamped from sheet metal or they may be
cast or formed in any desired manner, and my invention is not limited to the
process of forming the same or to the material of which they are composed, as it
is evident that changes therein, and modifications thereof, may be made without
departing from the spirit of my invention, or sacrificing its advantages.
It will be apparent that by means of my improved fastening device, I dispense
with the use of putty, and a glass may be quickly and easily removed from the
sash and another substituted therefor, and I thus provide for a great saving in
the original construction and means whereby repairs may be quickly and easily
made.
It will be understood that the sash is provided with a shoulder or projection a,
against which a glass is placed, and the shoulder or projections d2, of the fastening
device will not show from the iuner side, this construction being clearly shown in
Fig. 2.
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:
1. A fastening device for securing the window glass in position, which comprises
a strip or plate one end of which is provided with a shoulder or projection, said
strip or plate being adapted to be secured to the sash or frame, and said shoulder
or projection to abut against the glass, substantially as shown and described.

page_text: 2. A fastening device for securing window glass in place in a frame or sash,
comprising a strip or plate of metal, one end of which is provided with a shoulder
or projection, said strip or plate metal being adapted to be secured to the frame or
sash by a screw or other device, and said shoulder or projection to abut against the
glass, substantially as shown and described.
3. The combination with a sash or frame, in which is mounted a glass, of means
for securing the glass in place, consisting of a plate or strip of metal, at one end of
which is a shoulder or projection, said plate or strip of metal being adapted to be
secured to the frame or sash, by a screw or other device and said shoulder or
projection to abut against the glass, substantially as shown and described.
Dated this 19th day of May 1896.
