PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Obviating the Rattling of Window
Sashes and Preventing same from being Opened from the Outside.
I JOHN JAMES ALLEN, of 77 Bower Street Bradford in the County of York
Mechanical Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This my invention consists in the following apparatus. Where no sash fasteners
are fixed on their frames I employ a shapeable hinged hook and screw. When
the hinge is screwed or otherwise fixed to the bottom of the upper sash the hook
is pulled over and both sashes are drawn together and tightly secured by means
of a catch or screw.
On sashes where sash fasteners are already fixed I employ a shapeable Locker
with a hole or opening on its frontage and a plate and screw or catch at its lower
end. This Locker when placed over the knob or Handle of the Sash Fastener
rests against the neck of same and when placed in position and clenched by the
screw to the under part of the lower frame secures the two frames tightly together
and prevents any movement of the Knob or Handle of the Sash Fastener.
For certain purposes I shape my Locker so that instead of it falling over the
Knob or Handle of the Sash Fastener I make it to fall at the back or behind of
the Sash Fastener the screw and hook being employed for the said purposes herein
before described.

Improvements in Apparatus for Obviating the Rattling of Window
Sashes and Preventing same from being Opened from the Outside.
I JOHN JAMES ALLEN of 77 Bower Street Bradford in the County of York
Mechanical 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 my invention consists in the following apparatus.
Where no sash fasteners are fixed on their frames I employ a shapeable hinged
hook and screw. When the hinge is screwed or otherwise fixed to the bottom
of the upper sash the hook is pulled over and both sashes are drawn together
and tightly secured by means of a catch or screw. On sashes where Sash Fasteners
aro already fixed I employ a shapeable locker with a hole or opening on its
[Pic 81

page_text: frontage and a plate and screw or catch at its lower end. This locker when
placed over the knob or handle of the sash fastener rests against the neck of
same and when placed in position and clenched by the screw to the under part
of the lower frame secures the two frames tightly together anil prevents any
movement of the knob or handle of the sash fastener.
For certain purpose I shape the locker so that instead of it falling over the
knob or handle of the Sash Fastener it falls on to the back or behind part of the
sash fastener the screw and hook being used for the purposes herein before
described.
Aforesaid "improvements in apparatus for obviating the rattling of windows
and preventing came from being opened from the outside" I cannot too parti-
cularly state consists in a Locking device which can be to Sash Fasteners already
attached to existing windows or can be easily adapted independently to new
sashes or window frames.
In order that my Invertion may be clearly and fully understood I hereunto annex
a Sheet of Drawings of which Fig. 1 is a front view and Fig. 1 a side view.
Fig. 2 is also a front view and Fig. 2a side view of my Locking device.
Fig. 3 is a plan and Fig. 3 a side view of my Locker when it is attached to
sashes or window frames which are without the ordinary Sash Fastener and is
substantially and identically for the same purpose and acts precisely in the same
manner on the sashes as my Locker aforesaid.
The application of this my said Invention is as follows:
Fig. 1 is an illustration of my Sash or Window Locker in position the loop or
hook portion of my Fastener being placed or drawn over knob B and tightly
under part of sasa frame C.
Fig. 2 shows my Locker with screw 1) for giving additional locking security to
the saslies or window frames. Fig. 3 shows my Locker secured at E hinged at F
and tightening screw G which secures as in description aforesaid the effective
binding and focking of the window sashes or frames together.
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
Firstly. The Locking and clenching hock as shown on Drawings Fig. 1.
Secondly. Locking and clenching hook with screw or its equivalent a spring
shown in Fig. 2 and
Thirdly. Locker with hinge shapeable flap and screw as shown in Fig. 3.
