PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Guard for the Protection of Window Cleaners.
I, NATHAN NEWNS, of 2 Willow Cottage, Channelsea Road Burford Road, Strat-
ford, in the County of Essex, Blacksmith do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved window guard for the better protection of
persons while cleaning windows from the outside, and may be removed or replaced
when required.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I have appended the accom-
panying sheet of drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan, Figure 2, a front elevation,
and Figure 3 a transverse section of the guard according to my invention. Figures 4
and
are details thereof. Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in
the several views.
In carrying my invention into effect I form a cage or frame of iron bars A rivetted
together at B. A jointed bar G, furnished with a catch or button at one end, to fit
the slotted plate H, also shewn as a front elevation by Figure 4; is provided for the
purpose of attaching the iron frame A to the window, the slotted plate H being fixed
to the frame thereof, or otherwise firmly attached inside. The other end of the lever
bar G is furnished with holes, corresponding to similar holes in the frame A, so that
said frame may be properly adjusted to suit any window, a pin or key D. attached to a
chain F being provided for holding the frame in position, when passed through the
holes before mentioned, and a split pin E, also attached to a chain, and fitting a holo
in the end of the key or pin D, prevents the latter from being accidentally displaced.
A slot or gap is formed to allow of the introduction of the lever bar G by a separate
bar, provided with washers or distance pieces C, as shewn.
Figure 5 shews a plan view of the joint of the lever bar G and slotted
plato H.
