PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Casements.
1 WILLIAM YOULTEN of 34 New Bridge Street London, Architect, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
To either the sides bottom or top of a casement frame I hinge upon centres,
pivots, or double jointed (90°) hinges, a casement in such a manner that it may be
either swung inwards or outwards. Between the abutting surfaces of all sides of
the casement frame I provide such weather check devices as may prove desirable
and further provide any suitable stay, fastener and other usual accessories.
By such a method of construction the casement may, after the single preliminary
of releasing the fastener which secures it to the frame be either pushed outwards
or drawn inwards and ventilation repairs or cleaning may thereby be conveniently
effected.

Improvements in Casements.
I WILLIAM YOULTEN of 34 New Bridge Street, 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:-
To either the sides bottom or top of a casement frame I hinge upon centres or
pivots a casement in such a manner that it may be either swung inwards or out-
wards. Between the abutting surfaces of all the sides of the casement frame
I provide such weather check devices as may prove desirable and further provide
any suitable stay fastener and other usual accessories.
By such a method of construction the casement may after the single pre-
liminary releasing of the fastener which secures it to the frame be either pushed
outwards or drawn inwards and ventilation, repairs or cleaning may be conveniently
effected.
And in order that my said invention may be fully understood I will now
proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawings accompanying this
Specification in which
Fig. 1 shews plan of the hanging stiles of casement and casement frame.
Fig. 2 shews plan of the locking stiles of the casement and casement frame.
The same letters denote the same parts in both views.
The casement is pivotted above and beneath the circle at a. The back b of the
casement stile is in the form of a segment of a circle described from the centre a
so that it may turn in the concave portion c as will be seen on reference to Fig. 1
of the drawing.
With reference to Fig. 2 it will be seen that the end of the locking stile of
casement and casement frame is made curved, such curve being described from the
centre a so that the casement may be swung inwards and outwards as may be
required. e shews stile friction plates.

page_text: I provide such weather check devices as may prove desirable.
f shews water throat to prevent the passing of driving rain.
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.) The improvements in casements substantially as and for the purposes set
forth.
(2.) Casements pivotted in such a manner that they may be swung either
inwards or outwards for the purposes set forth.
Dated this Sixth day of September 1895.
