Improvements in and relating to Windows.
ARCHIBALD MCINTYRE 56 Helen Street Govan Glasgow do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
--
An arrangement of hinges, weights and cords by which an ordinary sash window
can be opened inwards, for purposes of cleaning, glazing.
It consists chiefly in the adaptation of pin and socket hinges of a somewhat'
novel form to the above requirements, as indicated on the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1, (Sheet 1) represents in vertical section the sashes closed.
Fig. 2 is the same in front elevation. The hinges as lettered in italics are in
position.
Fig. 3 represents the sashes on the hinges ready to open in, and
Fig. 4 shows in horizontal section, the approximate extent of opening. Full
sized details of these hinges are given correspondingly, lettered with capital letters
(Sheet 2).
In addition to what is described and delineated here. I have other slight
alterations on existing windows, such as (1) that I have the sashes hung on the
hinged sides only with suitable cords and equivalent weights-(2) I have the
parting beads and batten rods on the opening side cut and hinged with small flap
hinges in order to make them portable for the sashes to get in and out of the
checks easily, and (3) to obviate any possible strain on the angles of the sashes
I have the opposite sides provided with small rollers to support them against the
casing and at the same time to reduce the friction from sliding.
Referring again to the drawings it will be seen that the pinned parts of the
hinges are screwed to the window casing, the socketted parts to the sashes. Those
at cc Fig. 1 Sheet 1, are fixed to the casing, and receive the top sash when being
opened. The parts d and e are correspondingly fixed to the top sash, the former
underneath the meeting bar, the latter on the face of lintel to engage with c c.
They are all shown at C. D. E. on Sheet 2 by front elevations and horizontal
sections.
The parts at bb Fig. 1 Sheet 1, and shown in full size at B on Sheet 2 are
constructed in the form of budget locks, but without springs or other mechanisni
save the pinned bolts, which are worked by the peg at X. These are for the
hinging of the bottom sash, the socketted parts a a Fig. Sheet 1 being fixed on
that sash to engage with them. The latter are represented full size at A.on
Sheet 2, by a front elevation and a horizontal section. The budgets B are morticed
into the casing, with their faces flush with batten bead, and held by three long
screws.
All these hinges are to be of malleable cast, and to be in right and left hand sets
as may be required.
Dated this the 28th day of January 1895.

page_text: ARCHIBALD MCINTYRE, Joiner, 56 Helen Street, Govan. I 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 :—
It is an arrangement of hinges weights, and cords, by which a window can be
conveniently and easily opened inwards for purposes of cleaning and glazing.
It principally consists in adapting pin and socket hinges of a somewhat novel
form to the above requirements in the manner indicated on the accompanying
drawings,
Figure 1 Sheet 1 represents in vertical section the sashes as ordinarily closed.
Figure 2 Sheet 1 a front elevation of the same with the hinges as lettered A. B.
C. D. E. on Figure 1 in position.
Figure 3 Sheet 1 shows in front elevation the sashes on the hinges ready to open
inwards and
Figure 4 Sheet 1 represents in horizontal section the extent and manner of
opening.
Full sized details of these hinges are given on Sheet 2 correspondingly lettered
to Figure 1 Sheet 1.
In explanation of the drawings, it will be seen that the pinned parts of the
hinges are fastened with suitable screws to the window casing, the socketted parts
fixed in the same manner to the sashes.
The parts A. are in the form of budget locks with pinned bolts and turned by
the key at K. Sheet 2.
By this means the pins are kept entirely clear when the sash is sliding.
The sockets B. fixed to the bottom sash engage with these when the sash is
being opened.
The pinned bolts are reversible if required, as may be in some cases, to act
pointing downwards.
The parts C. Sheet 2 are screwed by their flanges to the casing as indicated at
Figure 1. Sheet 1.
The sockets D. and E, the former screwed to the top sash lintle, and the latter
underneath the meeting bar of same engage with the pins in opening the top sash
inwards.
The length of the part C. may be modified to suit any thickness of sashes or
to give any requisite angle of opening for the top sash up to that shown in
Figure 4 Sheet 1.
The whole of these hinges are capable of being fixed either to the right or left
hand of window as may be desired.
They may be made of brass or malleable cast steel or iron and to suit any
size and weight of sashes.
In addition to the hinges which are the principal of my invention I have other
slight alterations from the ordinary type of window.
These are that the sashes are hung on one side only with equivalent weights and
cords.
The parting and batten beads on the opening side are cut and hinged with small
brass or iron hinges so as to be made portable in convenient lengths for the sashes
to come in and out of the checks easily.
Also in order to reduce any undue strain on the sashes, I have the angles
opposite the hinges, provided with small castors which work against the pulley
stiles as the sashes slide up and down.

page_text: 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 :-
1. Budget pin and socket hinge to turn up or down and fit on either side as-
required, as shown in drawing A. Sheet 2.
2. Stud and socket hinge as shown in drawing C. Sheet 2.
Dated this Twenty-eighth day of October Eighteen hundred and ninety-five.
