page_text: I WILLIAM YOULTEN of 159 Victoria Street Westminster in the County
of London, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows
According to this invention I construct the closing stiles of casements in such a
mauner that the usual bead (which forms a stop to an outward opening casement
when drawn within the frame to be closed) can be swung into the solid frame in
order that the whole of the bead or stop is so sunk into the plane of the casement
frame which abuts against the closing sale of the casement that it affords no
obstacle to the swinging inwards of the casement for cleaning purposes provided it
is suitably hinged or pivotted.
In cases where the details of the construction of the window permit I hinge the
said bead or stop in such a manner that it can be swung round beyond the interual
plane of the casement frame for the purpose above described and in each case I
secure the said beads with any suitable device.
In respect to metal casements I effect the foregoing objects by pivotting, hinging
or slotting on rivets next that part of the metal frame which adjoins the room, a
piece of bar iron or other suitably shaped metal in such manner that a portion of
it projects beyond the frame proper so as to act as a stop when the casement 18
being closed. This stop is slotted and vetted to the frame and may be pushed
aside to permit of the casement being passed inwards or by pushing the casement
outwardly a short distance, the piece of metal described can be hinged or pivotted
if folded within the frame and thus afford a clear way for the casement to
be swung inwards provided it is suitably hinged or pivotted on the hanging
side.
By these methods of constructing the closing stiles of either wood or metal
casements previously described casements can (subject to the suitable hinging or
pivotting thereof and suitable provision at the top and bottom of same), be opened
inwards for the safe cleaning and repairing of the outsides.

page_text: I WILLIAM YOULTEN, of 159 Victoria Street, Westminster in the County
of London, Architect, 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 :-
According to this invention, I construct the closing stiles of casements in such a
manner that the usual bead (which forms a stop to an outward opening casement,
when drawn within the frame to be closed) can he swung into the solid frame in
order that the whole of the bead or stop is so sunk onto the plane of the casement
frame, which abuts against the closing stile of the casement that it affords no
obstacle to the swinging inwards of the casement, for cleaning or repairing
purposes, provided it is suitably hinged or pivotted.
In cases where the details of the construction of the window permit, I hinge the
said bead or stop in such a manner that it can be swung round beyond the internal
plane of the casement frame, for the purpose above described, and in each case I
secure the said beads with any suitablo device.
In respect to metal casements, 1 effect the foregoing objects by pivotting,
binging or slotting on ets next that part of the metal frame which adjoins tho
room, a piece of bar iron or other suitably shaped metal in such a manner that a
portion of it projects beyond the frame proper, so as to act as a stop when the
casement is being closed This stop is slotted and vetted to the frame and may
be pushed aside to permit the casement being passed inwards or by pushing the
casement outwardly a short distance, the piece of metal described can be hinged
or pivotted if folded within the fiame, and thus afford a clear way for the
casement to be swung inwards, provided it is suitably hinged or pivotted on the
banging side.
By these methods of constructing the closing stiles of either wood or metal
casoments previously described casements can (subject to the suitable hinging
or pivotting thereof and suitable provision at the top and bottom of same) be
opened inwards for the safe cleaning and repairing of the outsides.
And in order that my said invention may be more clearly understood, I will now
proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawing accompanying this
specification, in which
Figs. 1 and 2 are sectional plans, shewing the method whereby the stop or bead
18 hinged, and may be folded back into the frame, as at Figure 2.
Figs 3, 4 and 5 shew a second method, according to which the bead or stop is
drawn back into the frame, as at Figure 5.
Figure 3 is an elevation, and Figs. 4 and 5 sectional plans.
Euch figure shews locking stile.
The same letters of reference are employed to denote the same parts in all the
views.
a shews casement, & frame, c bead or stop of casement, d handle of casement.
e (Figs. 1 and 2) shews thumb piece for moving stop or bead back. (Fig. 3) shews
pin fixed to stop or slip bend c, such pin working in slot g in fiame band actuated
by handle d. There would be other pins to stop or slip bead c, also working in
other slots formed in the fame in order to guide the said stop or bead.
In order to open the casement inwards, it must first be pushed outwards, so that
the stop or bead c may be folded back into the position shewn at Fig 2. The
casement is then free to open either inwards or outwards. With reference
to Figs. 3, 4, and 5, on turning the haudle d, the pin will move to the lower
end of the slot y, hence the stop or bead c will be drawn into the frame, as

page_text: shewn at Figure 5, and the casement will then be free to pass right through Baid
frame.
Having now particularly described and ascoltained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 15-
1. In casements, fitting the beads or stops in such a manner that they can be
turned or moved clear of the casement fiame, so that the casement can be swung
inwards as well as outwards, for the purposes set forth.
2. The improvements in casements, substantially as and for the purposes set
forth.
