PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Window Sashes and Frames.
We WILLIAM PATTENDEN of 246, Lancaster Road, Notting Hill, Carpenter
and Builder and ANTON RINDESLAND of 5 East Row, Kensal Town, Merchant
both in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in window sashes the object
being to provide certain parts and arrangements of parts in combination with the
sash frames and raising and lowering cords, weights, pulleys and sash frames so as
to secure convertible raising and lowering sashes with hinged device for opening
the sashes in casement form.
There are hung in the ordinary frames upon runners cords and weights a
movable style or styles upon both sides of the sash or sashes. The said styles are
on one side fitted with hinge pintles or sockets, and corresponding sockets or pintles
are fitted upon the sashes or glazed frames so as to form a hinge or hinges when
the sashes are hung on.
The other side style is fitted with a double rosed bolt which may be shot into a
corresponding hole in the sash frame or may be shot out from the style to engage
with a corresponding hole provided in the sash. In the first of these two cases the
side style will be held in the frame and the sash can be opened (into the room) as
a casement (for cleaning purposes or otherwise). A button catch for the swing-
casement-sash may be used for retaining same in closed position. In the second
case where the hanging style is bolted to the sash the two will be locked together
and the sash or sashes can be raised and lowered along with the raising and
lowering styles.
The raising and lowering styles are provided with vertically arranged pierced
metal finger pieces standing up in the frame-boxing and holes are made in the
boxing of the frame so as to accommodate a thumb screw to hold the sash styles
in position when the sash is to be swung upon its hinges as a casement.
The meeting rails of the sashes are made with a rebate so as when brought
together there will be provided a close joint to prevent entrance of dust or draught
and to prevent burglarious interference with the sash fastener.
Between the cord pulleys or runners of the boxing is provided a hook upon
which will be hung a parting slip to avoid the striking together of the cord
weights.
The front slips or facing boards of the boxing are hinged so as to allow of
same being opened and access to be had to the weights and cords if required;
this hinging of the facing boards of the boxing is not in itself claimed.
When the sashes are to be removed for re-cording the sashes and weights the
bolt of the hanging style will be first shot into the hole in the side boxing and the
sash be swung open as a casement and can then be lifted off its hinge-pintles of
the opposite hanging style and said style be then released and can be brought.out
of the slide-leads and new cords be inserted through holes in the said hanging
styles access being had to the weight-cords and weights by the hinged facing styles
of the boxing.
For re-glazing, or cleaning, the sashes will be simply released from the side style-
bolt and be lifted off its hinge-pintles.

Improvements in Window Sashes and Frames.
We, WILLIAM PATTENDEN of 246, Lancaster Road Notting Hill Carpenter
and Builder and ANTON RINDESLAND of 5, East Row Kensal Town Merchant
both in the County of Middlesex 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 certain improvements in window sashes the object
being to provide certain parts and arrangements of parts in combination with the
sash frames and raising and lowering cords, weights, runners and sash so as to
secure convertible raising and lowering sashes with hinged device for opening the
sashes in casement form.
In the drawings annexed hereto
Fig. 1 shows the inside view in elevation of the sashes and frames fitted
according to this invention.
Fig. 2 is a like view showing one of the sashes hung upon the hinges of the
styles and opened inwards in casement form.
Fig. 3 is a view of the left hand hanging style.
Fig. 4 is a like view of the right hand style with hinge pintles for casement.
Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional plan of the lower sash.
There are hung in the ordinary frames A upon runners B. cords C, and
weights D movable styles a, a', upon both sides of the sash or sashes E. The
Baid styles a or a' are on one or other side fitted with linge pintles or sockets b
and corresponding sockets or pintles are fitted upon the sashes or glazed
frame E so as to form a hinge or hinges when the sashes E are bung-on (in
the drawings said hinges are shown applied to the styles a¹).
C
The other side styles a are fitted with a double bolt which may be shot into a
corresponding hole in the sash frames A (see lower half of Fig. 2), or bolts may be
shot out from the style a to engage with a corresponding hole provided in the
sash E. In the first of these two cases the side style a will be held in the
frame A and sash can be opened (into the room) as a casement (for cleaning
purposes or otherwise) turning on pintles of the style a¹, a button-catch for the
Bwing-casement-sash may be used for retaining same in closed position; this is not
shown.
"
""
In the second case when the hanging style a, is bolted to the sash the two will
be locked together and the sash or sashes E, can be raised and lowered along with
the raising and lowering styles a, a¹.
The raising and lowering styles a, a' are provided with vertically arranged
pierced metal finger picces d standing up in the frame-boxing and holes d¹ are made
in the boxing of the frame so as to accommodate a thumb-screw to hold the sash
styles a a' in position when the sash is to be swung upon its hinges as a casement.
The meeting rails E¹ of the sashes are made with a rebbate so as when brought
together there will be provided a close joint to prevent entrance of dust or draught
and to prevent burglarious interference with the sash fastener.
Between the cord pulleys or runners B of the frame-boxing is provided a hook e
upon which will be hung a parting-slip to avoid the striking together of the sash
weights D.
The front slips or facing boards G of the frame boxings are hinged as at g so as
to allow of same being opened and access to be had to the weights and cords if
required.
When the sashes are to be removed for "recording" the sashes and weights,
the bolt c of the hanging style a will be first shot into the hole in the side boxing
(see Fig. 2) and the sash E be swung open as a casement and can then be lifted off
its hinge-pintles b of the opposite lianging-style a¹ and said styles be then released

page_text: and can be brought out of the slide-beads and new cords be inserted through
holes a² in the said hanging styles, access being had to the weight-cords and
weights by the hinged facing styles G of the boxing.
For reglazing or cleaning purposes the sashes E will be simply released from the
side style-bolt c and be lifted off the hinge-pintles.
.
Referring to Fig. 4 wherein the foot of the hanging style a¹ is shown broken
away and in section there is a recess and a face plate i to form receiving and
retaining means for upright standing finger pieces provided at the foot of the
sash frame boxing (not shown in the drawings) for steadying the sashes and
styles.
The hanging styles a a' are rebbated at a correspondingly to the sashes E.
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.
1st. In a sash frame and sashes, the hanging styles a a¹ carrying the bolts c and
the pintles & for providing for the raising or lowering of the sashes E or of their
being opened inwards upon the hinges bb as and for the purpose herein set forth.
2nd. The improved sash frame and sashes with the cord pulleys and dividing
hanging slips the rebbated edges of the frames and of the hanging styles with
the securing bolt and finger pieces for fixing the frames according to which of the
alternative opening means are employed substantially as specified.
