IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW-FASTENERS
Year: 1885

page_text: We, GEORGE LEISTER HOLLOWAY, of 92 Denmark Road, Camberwell, Commercial
Traveller, and HENRY STANNING, of 25 Charles Street, Walworth Road, Leather
Cutter, both in the County of Surrey, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW-FASTENERS" to be as follows
-
This Invention relates to improvements in window fasteners, which consist in
the employment of two fasteners to each pair of sliding sashes, one fastener at each
side thereof,
In the upper sash bars, at the sides thereof, we cut a slot or recess protected by
a slotted brass plate, the slot in the plate being shorter than the one in the frame
so as to afford a catch or latch
The other portion of the fistener attached to the lower sash frame, consists of a
brass plate hinged about the middle, one portion being screwed to the upper surface
of the sash frame, and the other portion being slotted A pin or bolt passes
through the slot which carries a catch tapered off towards the bottom and sliding
between two wings forming part of the plate itself These wings are wedge shaped
or hooked at the bottom. The sashes being closed or nearly so, the catch and wings
are inserted into the recess of the upper sash and the sashes are then completely
closed, the effect being to draw the two sashes together so as to prevent rattling.
The bolt with the catch attached thereto is then pressed to the bottom of the slot
and the window 18 secure.
