PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in the Manufacture of the Cases or Bodies of Sash
Pulleys.
I, JOSEPH MILLS, of Cemetery Road, Lye, Nr. Stourbridge, in the County of
Worcester, Spade, Shovel, and Agricultural Fork Manufacturer, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:
-
The sash pulleys consists of a case or body and pulley with spindle. The case or
body consists of a front plate with an oblong hole pierced in, with a small hole at
each end. Two strong pegs with holes pierced in the sides are made in separate
parts with three holes. These are secured to front plate with rivets top and bottom,
into which spindles of pulley is affixed. These are invariably made out of cast
iron. My invention consists in making the case or body out of sheet metal, here-
inafter described. In making one of the cases or bodies according to my invention,
I cut from sheet iron or steel a blank of sufficient strength and size to form front
plate. I then fold over the two outside edges and pierce in the oblong hole for
pulley. I then pierce the two small holes-one at each end. I next take a blank
of sheet iron or steel of sufficient strength & size to form the two sides. I then
shape it and pierce holes for spindle then fold over the outer edges. Then bend
in the centre & bring the two sides into proper position. I next insert the two
folded sides into front plate, press the whole securely together which forms a com-
plete body or case.
I next put in pulley with hole through and secure with a rivet passed through
the two sides & pulley headed on either side. Thus forming a complete sash
pulley.
I prefer to fashion these bodies by shaping tools worked in a stamp and folder,
but the fashioning of the said cases or bodies may be effected by hand.

An Improvement in the Manufacture of the Cases or Bodies of Sash
Pulleys.
JOSEPH MILLS, of Cemetery Road, Lye, Nr. Stourbridge, in the County of
Worcester, Spade Manufacturer, 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 sash pulley consists of a case or body, and pulley with spindle. The case or
body consists of a front plate, with an oblong hole pierced in, and a small round

page_text: hole at each end, a strong peg at each end of back, with hole (pierced) through.
The sides are made in separate parts with three holes in them. These are secured
to front plate with rivets top and bottom, into which spindle is affixed. They are
invariably made of cast iron.
My invention consists in making the cases or bodies out of sheet metal here-in-
after described.
In making one of the cases or bodies according to my invention, I cut from
sheet iron or steel a blank of sufficient strength and size to form front plate.
I fold over the two outside edges and pierce in the oblong hole for pulley. I
next take a blank of sufficient strength and size to make the back. I then pierce
in holes for spindle and fold over-the outer edges, then bend in the centre, and
bring the sides into proper position. I then insert the two folding edges into front
plate, press the whole securely together, which thus forms a complete case or body.
I next insert pulley in the oblong hole passing the rivet through sides and pulley,
heading on each side, thus forming a complete sash pulley. I prefer to fashion
these cases or bodies by shaping tools worked in a stamp, press or folders.
The fashioning and shaping of the said cases or bodies may be executed by hand.
I will now proceed to describe, with reference to the accompanying drawing, the
manner in which my invention is to be performed.
I first cut out blank plate as Fig. I.
I then lap over the taper end of blank Fig. 1. Then fold over the edges as A
in Fig. 2.
I next cut out hole as B in Fig. 2. Fig. 8 shows the front view of Fig. 2 when
folded over the edges.
Fig. 3 is blank of back or box part. I then fold over the back edges as C in
Fig. 4 to give additional strength. I then fold up front edge as D, then pierce
holes as G also as H. in Fig. 4.
I then bend in centre, bringing down the sides into proper position, leaving
flange at top as D in Fig. 5. I then bring the end across as E in Fig. 4, passing
taper end through hole H in Fig. 4 pressing close to side.
I next take box as Fig. 5. Insert edges into Fig. 2 as A which brings it into
proper position as Fig. 6.
I then press the edges A in Fig. 6 then pierce holes in the end as I in Fig. 6.
I then insert wheel Fig. 10 into hole B in Fig. 7.
I next put rivet Fig. 9 through hole G in Fig. 7 securing it by riveting thus
making a complete sash pulley.
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:
I. The making the boxes or bodies out of sheet metal.
II. Making them of two separate pieces.
III. The folding and lapping together of front and back, so as to secure them
together as a whole, making them impossible to break.
Dated this the 16th day of November 1897.
