1 DANIEL SUTCLIFFE HEYS of 62 Alexander Road Blackpool in the County of
Lancaster Joiner and Builder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
I arrange a Sash or Balance weight, for Windows, Doors, Shutters cast of Metal
in one piece conical shaped at each end, so as to pass one another without catching.
At one end of the weight there is pierced or cast in same a hole for cord, which runs
longitudinally into the centre of the weight for a few inches, until it extends to a
hole pierced or cast at right angles into or through the weight a few inches from the
same end of weight. To attach a cord to weight, is accomplished by placing one end
through the hole cast longitudinally into the weight until it comes to the hole made
or cast into the weight at right angles. The cord is then pulled through a knott
made on the end and then drawn tight leaving the knott made in the centre of hole
made at right angles in the weight. By this method of suspending a balancing weight
the weight hangs perpindicular and owing to the weight being conical shaped at each
end the weights when passing cannot bind or hold one another. I claim as my
Invention a balancing weight conical shaped at each end, with hole pierced in centre
of one of conical shaped ends of weight through which the cord is placed and fastened
by means of a knott substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.

Improvements in the Shape of Balancing Weights for Balancing
Windows, Doors, Shutters.
I DANIEL SUTCLIFFE HEYS Joiner and Builder of 62 Alexander Road East
Blackpool in the County of Lancaster 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 :-
-
Thereof reference being made to the accompanying Drawings which show an
arrangement of apparatus illustrating my Invention. This invention of improvement
in apparatus for Balancing (with weights) Windows, Doors, Shutters I arrange as
follows a Balancing Weight A cast of suitable metal in one piece conical shaped at
each end B. In one end of each weight A is cast or pierced a hole C longitudinally
into the centre of the weight for a few inches, until it extends to a hole D pierced
or cast at rightangles into or through the weight A. The upper and centre of
hole D is countersunk E for the purpose of receiving knott made on end of cord G.
The balancing weight A is supported after the knott is made on end of cord G.
The cord passes up hole Cand is made fast to the article to be balanced by the
weight A. The cross section H, the hole C for cord G and the hole D cast at right
angles, shew the position by which means the cord is fastened to support the
balancing weight A. Section 1 is showing one of the ends of weight. The balancing
weight A is shewn passing the balancing weight J shewing it impossible for the
weights to catch one another owing to being conical shaped at each end.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare, that what I
claim is
A balancing weight conical shaped at each end for Balancing Windows, Doors,
Shutters with a hole pierced or cast in centre of one of conical shaped ends of
balancing weights, through which a cord is placed and made fast by a knott made on
end of cord by which means the weight is suspended substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated.
