page_text: An Improved Stay for Casement Doors and Windows.
I, WILLIAM YOULTEN, of 159, Victoria Street, Westminster, in the County of
London, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to fit the stay to a casement or the like, so that
the whole or nearly the whole opening between the jambs or sides of the frame
of a casement or other door or window is left clear for readily getting out or
wheeling or carrying out an invalid or other chair, and the stay itself is practi-
cally concealed when the casement is shut.
One end of the stay is pivotted or otherwise connected to a plate or other suit-
able attachment secured to the casement preferably to the hanging stile, and
the other end of the stay passes through a slotted plate or other connection
attached to the frame or jamb with a bolt, pin or other arrangement for fixing
the stay, and so securing the casement when opening at any angle.

I, WILLIAM YOULTEN, of 159, Victoria Street, Westminster, in the County of
London, Architect, 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;
--
The object of this invention is to fit the stay to a casement or the like, so that
the whole or nearly the whole opening between the jambs or sides of the frame
of a casement or other door or window is left clear for readily getting out of
wheeling or carrying out an invalid or other chair, and the stay itself is practi-
cally concealed when the casement is shut.
One end of the stay is pivotted or otherwise connected to a plate or other suit-
able attachment secured to the casement, preferably to the hanging stile, and
the other end of the stay passes into a slot or recess in the frame or jamb and is
fixed by means of a bolt or pin so as to secure the casement open at any angle.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood I will now pro-

specification.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING.
Fig. 1 shews plan of the hanging jamb of a casement, the casement being
closed:
Fig. 2 shews plan of same, with casement open to its full extent.
The same letters denote the same parts in both views.
"a shews the stay attached at one end to a plate a fitted to the hanging stile f,
and fitting in a recess or mortice in the hanging jamb b: the said mortice being
indicated by the dotted lines c. The stay a has holes d for receiving a stay bolt,
of which stay bolt e shews the handle.
The casement may thus be held open at various angles (see Fig. 2). When
the casement is snut the stay is concealed (see Fig. 1). Further, as the stay is
fitted to the hanging jamb, a fitting at the sill (which would be in the way of
anyone stepping out, or wheeling an invalid out) is avoided.
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
Stays for casement doors or windows, having one end attached to the casement
and the other end passing into a recess or mortice in the hanging jamb, substan-
tially as described and for the purposes set forth.
