Improvements in Stays for Casements and the like.
We, FREDERICK WILLIAM COPE, and HENRY STANHOPE OWENS, both of
14A Weaman Street, in the City of Birmingham, Brassfounders, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in stays or casements and other like
opening and closing bodies.
It consists as follows:-Upon the frame (fixture) is secured a bracket whose
upper part is capable of a swivelling action, and through such swivelling part is
carried the stay rod, whose one end is attached to a second bracket secured to the
movable casement &c. This second bracket also permits to the stay rod a
swivelling action, and also a part rotating action, the latter being at right angles
to the former.
The sectional shape of the rod and the relative conformation of the aperture
through which it passes in the swivel bracket are such that when the rod is turned
around into a given position, it may be readily made to slide therein to any
desirable position, but when in such desirable position, by turning it around, say
half a turn, certain notches, teeth or gaps in the rod take into and engage with
complemental notches or projections in the bracket, whereby it is locked from
longitudinal motion and hence the casement is firmly held in such position.
It will be obvious that the positions of the swivelling bracket, and the stay rod
bracket, may be reversed.

Improvements in Stays for Casements and the like.
We, FREDERICK WILLIAM COPE, and HENRY STANHOPE OWENS, both of
14A Weaman Street, in the City of Birmingham, Brassfounders, 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 improvements in stays for casements and other like
opening and closing bodies.
In order to more clearly explain this our invention we have appended hereunto
an illustrative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of reference, similar
numbers referring throughout to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, is a general view of the invention.
Figs. 2 and 3, are enlarged detail side view and sectional plan view of the
swivelling bracket.
Fig. 4, is a sectional view of the rod on line A-B Fig. 1.
It consists as follows:-Upon the frame 6 (fixture) is secured a bracket 7
whose upper part 8 is capable of a swivelling action, and through such swivelling

page_text: part is carried the stay rod 9, whose one end is carried from a second bracket 10
secured to the movable casement &c. This second bracket also permits to the
stay rod 9 a swivelling action in the part 12 and also a part rotating action in the
part 13, the latter being at right angles to the former.
The sectional shape of the red 9 and the relative conformation of the aperture 14
through which it passes in the swivel bracket 7, are such that when the rod is
turned around into a given position, it may be readily made to slide therein to any
desirable position, but when in such desirable position, by turning it around, say
half a turn, notches, teeth or gaps 15 in the rod, take into and engage with
complemental notches or projections 16 in the bracket, whereby it is then
locked from longitudinal motion and hence the casement is firmly held in such
position.
It will be obvious that the positions of the swivelling bracket, and the stay rod
bracket, may be reversed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
1. In stays for casements and other like opening and closing bodies, the combina-
tion with the rod 9 having gaps such as 15, of a bracket fitting such as 7 having
projections or notches with which such gaps may engage all substantially as set
forth.
2. In stays for casement and other like opening and closing bodies, the combina-
tion of the double movement bracket 10, stay rod 9 having gaps such as 15, and
the swivel bracket 7 constructed and operating substantially as set forth and
shown.
