Albert Street, Ventnor, each residing in the Isle of Wight, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improved system in window sash hanging, which can be applied to buildings,
old, and new.

To replace a sash line when broken,
Remove the two screws in small cup-in front of sash, the broken part of sash
line comes with it.
Remove screw at the corner of sash, and lift out the socket, with piping if any
broken lines remain.
By turning the iron button to a slight angle, attached to parting bead, to frame
by lifting the iron bead and plate upwards, you have the pocket open.
Attach line to weight in the usual way-pass line through tube to the distance
required, by aid of small bradawl, reach end of line which pass through small
opening in cup, tie your knot and replace tube and cup in position as required.
.
The pocket can be replaced after sash line is made secure to weight. When
replaced the button (iron) must be turned to its upright position.
The tube with pipe is to keep the sash line in its proper position. Being
dovetailed in shape for that intention, to be inserted in the top corners of the
window sash frames.
The cup (with plate) to receive the knot that is required is to be fixed in front
of sash frame (interior) at the length required from top of sash frames, that the
sash line can be reached from the mortice that the cup requires.
In fixing the cup (with plate (which may have a thin brass one) to cover any
defect, provision must be made not to interfere with the sash bead to frame that
the inside window sash may be lifted up or down free.
The sash weight is obtained by a slight turn of that part of iron bead-which
acts as a button to plate in the side lining of the window frame that covers the
pocket with a gentle lift upwards you have at command the open pocket to make
the sash line to weight secure.
When replaced in position that part of iron bead to mitre-keeps the plate as if*
locked, if the wood parting bead is also to mitre-to fit-which is required.
With these appliances-the injury to property-seen-may be avoided.

New Appliances for Window Sash Hanging, and for the Renewal
of Broken Sash Lines, in Buildings of all descriptions.
We, HENRY SIDNEY BLAKE Decorator, Torquay Cottage Victoria Street,
Ventnor, Isle of Wight, GEORGE WHITEBREAD DAY, Cabinet Maker, 5 Oxford
Terrace, Albert Street, Ventnor Isle of Wight, 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 :-
That we are in possession of an invention the title of which is, new appliances
for window sash hanging, and for the renewal of broken sash lines, in buildings of
all descriptions and that we are the true and first inventors thereof, and that the
same is not in use, by any other person, or, persons, to the best of our knowledge
and belief and we humbly pray that a Patent may be granted to us for the said
invention, on a new principle, for future use in buildings, old or new-in window
sash hanging, and renewal of broken sash lines, without removal of either beads,
or sashes, or in any way injuring the present paintwork.
The nature of these appliances is illustrated in Figures 1 to 8.
Fig. 1 shows a section of the window sash with the tube a in position containing
the sash line which passes through the lower end of tube into a cup e which
contains the knotted end.
The form of the tube is shown in Fig. 3 from which it will be seen that it is of
dovetail form the upper part open to allow the line free play when the sash is
thrown up, whilst the lower part is closed and contains a circular pipe through
which the line runs. Fig. 4 is a cross section of the tube and pipe.
Fig. 5 shows the form of the cup to contain the knot, open at bottom and with a
circular hole at the top through which the sash line passes into the tube.
Fig. 2 is a metal plate which is intended to cover the opening or pocket in the
side of window frame, through which the weights are reached when necessary.
A metal bead runs down the middle of the plate and is made to mitre into the
wooden parting bead of the window so as to form a continuous bead.
To effect this, a portion of the metal bead i is made to turn round on a central
pivot, thus allowing the plate to be put in position or lifted out. Fig. 6 is a side
view of this plate and bead, with section of wooden cover of pocket, to which it is
screwed, so as to be removed with it.
Fig. 7 gives a plan of the window sashes and frame showing the position of the
tubes a, a, a, a fixed in the sashes, and
Fig. 8 shows an elevation with the position of the cups let into the sashes marked
at g, g, 9, 9.
The tubes (a) are to be inserted on the top corners of the window sash-(which
are to be in lengths as required) each tube to have three or four inches of pipe at
the bottom to keep the sash line in its place. The tubes (a) are dovetail in shape
which retains them in their proper position-they require but one screw (b) on the
top corners of the window sash-which on removal can be lifted from sash when
required, by a small piece of bent wire. Near the top of tubes (c), at the back of
each there is a small opening (c), so that it can with bent wire, easily be lifted out
when required.
The cups d&e with small plate for two screws (to which a metal one can be
added to cover any defect) are to receive the knots (e) at the ends of the sash line,
to be fixed in each top of window sash, (interior) and at the lengths required, that
the sash line after passing through the tube a, can be reached from the mortice
that the cup requires. After passing line and making knot secure in cup (e), it
can be placed in its position-and on the removal of the two screws (f) when a
new sosh line is required, you have the cup, and broken part of sash line with it.

page_text: The cups d&e mortised to sash (9), will bear any weight that is required. In the
fixing of these cups to sashes, provision is to be made not to interfere with the
parting bead, the interior bead, so that each sash can be lifted up or down free.
The plates (h) with iron parting bead, are to be fixed at the lengths from the
bottom part of the window sash frames, that the sash weight (when required) can
be obtained-these plates require to be let in flush in the side linings of the
window frames-that part of iron bead (to mitre) (i) acts as a button, it must be
in fixing to a given line, with the wood parting bead, that and also the wood
parting bead, must be fitted to mitre-the small part of the iron bead acts as a
button and keeps the plates fixed in the linings of the window frames, with a slight
turn of the button you have the open pocket (1).
With these appliances if introduced to sashes and frames, the injury now to be
seen on the renewal of sash lines is avoided-and any person with little experience
can renew one.
These appliances are to be cast in metal in various sizes suitable for buildings of
any description, and where introduced may be a great saving to the tenant and to
all owners of property.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A tube to contain the sash line.
2. A cup to hold the knotted end of line, both easily removeable without damage
to the window sash.
3. A plate with metal parting bead to fit over the opening in side of frame,
removeable without taking out the sash or parting bead and allowing ready access
to the weights.
