that I, the said William Barbor, during the term of years therein mentioned,
should and lawfully might use,. exercise, and vend, within England, Wales,.
and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "CERTAIN MACHINERY
FOR THE PURPOSE OF HANGING OF DOORS AND WINDOWS OR LIGHTS IN A MANNER
ENTIRELY NEW, PARTICULARLY THOSE OF COACHES, CHARIOTS, AND OTHER CARRIAGES;"
in which said Letters Patent there is contained a proviso obliging me, the
said William Barbor, by an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, to

Figure Angular plate is represen d by the Letters ( a. a.) as fixed to one of the lower corners of a Common Glass or Window Frame having a small fin or axis (b,) fixed houijontally to the perpendicular Arm of the Angular Plate ( a. u. I near
the bottom of it, On the Din or dais (6) next to the Angular (a. a.) is placed a solid wheel (c) and, on the outer side of it, on the same pin or axis (6) is another grooved Wheel (d) the external centre whereof is counter sunk,
or axis (5) which the two Wheels
(c and d) kept in their places. Figure 2 represents the perpendicular Arm of the Angular plate (a a) with the external surface of the grooved wheel (d) and the head of the fin or
Axis (6.). Figure 3. A Section of the inside of a plate
a plate or Frame is represented by e. c) containing two grooved Wheels (f and g) the ankes of which Wheels turn in two Givot holes made in the Frame (e) and in the plate or frame
(h) which is the cap or cover for the Wheels (f and g) and is screwed or otherwise fastened to the frame (e) to preserve the Wheels (f and g) in their proper places. Figure to represents all the parts of Figure 3 as they are fixed together
Figure 5 represents a -flat plate (i) being Weight or Balance, made circuion at each end, and suspended by two Lines (k.k.). The application of the different parts of the Machinery comprised in Figures 1.5 and 5 appears in Fig 6 and
Carriage Door with its Grooved and the balance (i) as connected with the Glass by line to, passing between the Wheels (f and g).
Fig: 7 which represents a Section of the Pillar of
( a. a.) is used for the
purpose of fastening the pin or axis (t) with its Whiels (c and d) property to the Frame of the Glass, and may be made of about the same thickness with the Glass Frame; the axis or pin (6) being fixed to it so near to the
bottom of the perpendicular Arm, that the under side of the Wheel (c) may a Line with the bottom of the Glass Frame as in Figure, 1. An additional Groove must be made in each of the pillars between the Shutter Groove and the
Pannel for the Weight
Balance (i)
to slide in, the length of the Balance being equal to the width of the Door, The Frame in Figures 3 and 4, is to be fixed or let in to the boxing of the Door Pillar at the height to which the.
bottom of the Glass is intended to be raised, so that the outer side of it may be even with the bottom of the Shutter Groove the under part of the Wheel (c) when passing over the top of the frame (fig: 4) as in fig: 6, may clear the fence
of the middle hail, and room must be lift in the boxing of the pillow for the Glass Frame to move on each side of and over it; the diameter of the Wheel (f) will depend on the width of the Glass Groove and Balance Groove, and their distance
from each other, and must be so placed in the Frame (fig: 4) that the Line, I, passing round it from the balance (i) in the Balance Groove to the Wheel (d) in the Glass Groove
freely along without rubbing against the
of
those Grooves, The weight or balance (i) is suspended in the Balance Groove by a Line Ic fastened at each end of it as in fig: 5 which passing up the Balance Groove is carried round the grooved Wheel (+) and fastened
by a noose or otherwise round the Grooved Wheel (d) this Line, I, must evidently be of a proper length to admit the Balance (i) and the Glass which are connected together means of it to rise and fall alternately to their properl
or balance (i) must be equal weight or nearly so with the Glass with its Frame and the angular plates. a. a, the fun or Axis (6) and the Wheels (c and d) annexed to each side of it, when
the Glass is roxised to the top of the Glass Groove, the Wheel (c.) passes over the external Edge of the Frame (fig: 4) as is represented in fig: 6, and acting upon it as a holler prevents Fruction, the grooved Wheel (d) with the
Sine, to, round it passes at the same time ver the Grooved Wheel (f) to the grooved Wheel (g) while the Glues Frame is moved over the Fence of the middle Rail, The Glass Groove must be of sufficient depth to admit of the Wheels c and d, to slide easily in it
as high as is necessary for the Glass Frame to rise to admit them to pass over the Frame (fix: 4) and the Balance Groove must be of the same depth with the Glass Groove. The several parts of this Machinery may be of Brass or other Metal and it is
obvious that each pillar in which the Glass moves must be furnished with corresponding parts of the Machinery that each end of the Balance (i) may be equally suspended and if the Glass is too deep to admit of
weight
sliding high enough then a fully or Wheel is to be fixed in the Balance (i) as in common cases to increase the length of the Line which is then to be carried round the pulley and the end of it fastened to the top of the Balance Groove
