We WILLIAM ALLAN of 16 Amelia Terrace, Carlton Hill Leeds Cabinet Maker, and
ROBERT ARNOLD HOLMES of Otley Shop Fitter, both in the county of York, 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:
The object of our invention is to construct bolts or fasteners for the above so as to
dispense with back plates, and which do not require to bore through the stile to fix,
the doors or frames can be any thickness and yet do not alter the action of the catch
or fastener which will also do for either right or left hand, this fastener also pulls the
door or window tight up to the rebate.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1. is a front elevation of our improved bolt or fastener applied to doors, or
windowcasements &c. for securing the same together.
Fig. 2. is an end elevation of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3. is a front elevation in section.
Fig. 4. shews a front elevation of bolt or fastener for the tops or bottoms of doors,
windows, casements, show cases or other suitable enclosures.
Fig. 5. shews detail view in section of means for operating the bolt or fastener.
Fig. 6. shews side elevation of plate (recessed) into which the bolt engages or fits.
Figs. 1. 2, and 3, A is the striking plate fixed upon the sash, window or door
frame C having recess B to receive the bolt or fastener D which is upon the loose
sash window or door frame E, F is a plate having a box or recess G in which is the
bolt or fastener D, this plate F also carries a handle H. on the spindle J of which a
partially toothed disc K gearing into similar teeth L upon one side of the bolt or
fastener D the fastener can be used right or left handed as required the plates are
secured in position to the window, door or other frames by screws.
Figs. 4. 5. and 6. The bolt or fastener D is elongated and has an extra guide
plate N also the partially toothed disc K on the spindle J of the handle H works

page_text: within a slot D¹ of the bolt or fastener, one side of which is toothed to suit the disc,
the movement of the bolts can be increased or diminished as required, by increasing
or decreasing the number of the teeth upon the disc and bolt, also the recess B on the
plate M of the door casing or frame, is altered to suit the bolt as shewn, if no back
lap is used a flat plate can be let in the case bottom.
The action is as follows:-
On turning the handle one way or the other the teeth in the disc engage with
those in the bolt and push the bolt out or withdraw it, thus in both cases making a
simple, effective and neat looking fastener.
-
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
1. The general arrangement and construction of bolts or fasteners as shewn and
described.
2. In fasteners for doors, windows, casements, and other enclosures the combination
of bolts such as D with teeth operated by a toothed disc K upon the spindle J of the
handle of the fastener.
