Improvements in the Manufacture of Oased Frames for Single or
Double Hung Sashes.
I THOMAS STROUD JEROME of No. 5 Officers' Quarters, Avenue Road,
Aldershot, in the County of Southampton, Surveyor in the Royal Engineer
Civil Staff, 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and
to the figures and letters marked thereon, viz. :—
The object of my invention is to construct the pulley styles of cased frames for
double or single hung sashes in such a manner as to facilitate the removal of the
sashes for the ordinary purposes required, and for gaining access to the sash weights,
and preventing loose and draught admitting beads.
Figure 1 is a vertical section of the lower part of the sash frame and sashes.
Figure 2 is an interior elevation of a portion of the sash frame and sashes.
Figure 3 is a horizontal section taken on the line XX of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a vertical section of the lower portion of the sash frame with the
inside portion of the pulley style withdrawn, exposing one of the weights of the
lower sash.
Figure 5 is a vertical section of the lower portion of the sash frame with the
inside and outside portions of the pulley style withdrawn, exposing the weights on
one side of both upper and lower sashes.
Figure 6 is a horizontal section taken on the line "Y," "Y," of Figure 4.
Figure 7 is a horizontal section taken on the line "Z," "Z," of Figure 5.
Figure 8 is a vertical section of the clamp on the bottom of the inside portion
of pulley style, "0.”
Figure 9 is the "6" portion of pulley style withdrawn.
Figure 10 is the "
"
9966
e" portion of pulley style withdrawn.
For the purpose of my invention the pulley styles, with the inside and parting
beads worked solid thereon, are divided into three portions, the upper
portion a a" being a fixture (as in an ordinary cased sash frame) rebated
on the outside lower edge, the lower portions "6" and "e" are capable of being
withdrawn separately, both are clamped at top and bottom and rebated on the
inner edges, "6" is rebated vertically on the inner edges, "c
"is rebated vertically
on its outer edge, "6" is kept in position by "c," and "c" is secured by 3 inch
No. 3. screws & cups, to inside lining of sash frame.
The method to be adopted for the removal of the sashes is as follows; viz.,
Turn out the 3 screws in the inside beads on each side of the sash frame, lift
the sash to clear the weather bead on the sill, draw.the sash towards the room and
the shifting portions "c" of the pulley styles are then withdrawn; lower the top
sash and proceed similarly, and the shifting portions "6" of the pulley styles are
then withdrawn.
To replace the sashes put back the upper sash first, attach the cords to the
weights and then slide in shifting portions "6" of the pulley styles, act similarly
with the lower sash, slide in the shifting portions "c" of the pulley styles, and
secure them by the screws to the inside linings of the sash frame.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. Facility in removing the sashes and gaining access to the weights.

page_text: 2. The prevention of loose and draught admitting beads.
3. The prevention of damage to, and disfigurement of sash beads & pulley styles
in removing sashes, and gaining access to the weights.
Dated this 17th day of March 1892.
