Improvements in and relating to the Hanging of Window Sashes.
I, ROBERT HENRY STANBRIDGE, of 11, Gore Park Avenue, Eastbourne, in the
County of Sussex, Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention has reference to improvements in and relating to the hanging
of window sashes and my invention consists in the arrangement and combination
of parts substantially as hereinafter described.
In carrying my invention into practice I fix a pulley, drum or wheel to
each pulley stile the diameter of said pulley, drum or wheel and the position
in which it is fixed or supported being such that it projects a sufficient distance
out of the pulley stile the said projecting part being practically exactly over
the edge of the sash stile.
The sash stile is grooved or morticed to a sufficient extent so as to receive one
end of a leather strap or other band the said end part being folded around a
metal pin which fits in a suitable aperture or groove in the sash-stile and is
then brought against the inner part of said strap or band the whole being then
secured by a screw which passes through both thicknesses of the strap or band
and then into the sash stile. The face of the sash stile is also preferably covered
by a metal plate, where the screw passes through.
The free end of the strap or band is then passed over the pulley or the like
firstly herein referred to and then down the boxing to the lead or other weight.
Said weight is formed or provided at its upper end with a suitable aperture or
slot adapted to receive the doubled end of the strap or band a suitable and pre-
ferably metal pin being passed in a horizontal direction into or through the
weight sain pin passing at the same time through the loop formed by the doubled
end of the strap or band. Said strap or band being secured in position by means
of a screw or equivalent which passes through the two thicknesses of the band or
strap and into the body of the weight.
The wheel, drum or pulley referred to may be supported by a pin fixed to the
pulley stile or said pulley or the like may be provided with or formed with an
axle or trunnions which are supported and revolve in suitable bearings but I wish
it to be understood that I do not confine myself to any particular shape or dimen-
sions of the different parts constituting my invention nor to any material or
materials of which such parts may be made it being further understood that each
side of the sash is hung in the manner described.

I, ROBERT HENRY STANBRIDGE, of 11, Gore Park Avenue, Eastbourne, in the
County of Sussex, Builder, 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 has reference to improvements in and relating to the hanging
of window sashes and my invention consists in the arrangement and combination
of parts substantially as hereinefter described.
In carrying my invention into practice, and referring to the accompanying
drawing which shows the left hand stiles in section I fix a pulley drum or wheel A
to each pulley stile B the diameter of said pulley drum or wheel and the position
in which it is fixed or supported being such that it projects a sufficient distance
out of the pulley stile the said projecting part being practically exactly over the
edge of the sash stile, C.
The sash stile is grooved or morticed to a sufficient extent so as to receive
one end of a leather strap or other band D the said end part being folded round
a metal pin E (which fits in a suitable aperture or groove in the sash stile) and
is then brought against the inner peat of said strap or band the whole being then
secured by a screw F which passes through both thicknesses of the strap or band
and then into the sash stile. The face of the sash stile is also preferably covered
by a metal plate, where the screw passes through.
The free end of the strap or hand is then passed over the pulley or the like A
and then down the boxing to the lead or other weight G. Said weight is formed
or provided at its upper end with a suitable aperture or slot adapted to receive
the doubled end of the strap or band a suitable and preferably metal pin being
passed in a horizontal direction into or through the weight said pin passing at the
same time through the loop formed by the doubled end of the strap or band.
Said strap or band being secured in position by means of a screw or equivalent T
which passes through the two thicknesses of the hand or strap and into the
body of the weight.
The wheel drum or pulley may be supported by a pin fixed to the pulley
atile, or said pulley or the like may be provided or formed with an axle or trun-
nions which are supported and revolve in suitable bearings. I wish it to be
understood that each side of the sash is hung in the manner described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I 3
claim is:-
-
1. The improvements in and reluting to the hanging of window sashes sub-
stantially as described.
2. The improved method of attaching the end of the leather strap or other
band or equivalent to the sash stile substantially as described.
3. The improved method of attaching the end of the leather strap or other
equivalent to the weight substantially as described.
