Foreman Boilermaker I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW SASIL OR OTHER FASTENERS to be as follows: and is
designed to give greater security, it being impossible to be opened from the out
side, and the degree of tightness with which it draws together the sashes entirely
obviates the nusiance of their rattling against each other, also preventing dust and
dirt from being blown in, this I accomplish by a sliding bolt attached to a lever as
hereinafter described. The form preferably adopted by me is a bolt working in a
barrel, attached to aforesaid bolt, is a lever with a hooked end, this bolt and lever
is pushed along a slot, provided in the barrel, till bolt enters the box, when in this
position the lever is turned, and the hook end grips a quadrant on box causing a
draw motion which clips the sashes together and doubly locks same as illustrated
in accompanying drawing.
A. Is plan shewing lever and bolt when not locked.
B. Is plan of box to receive bolt.
C. Is side elevation shewing bolt in box and lever D in locked position, the bolt
is represented by dotted lines the waved lines are to indicate the sash or other
timber on which it is fastened,
D. Is the lever which (after bolt is pushed into box) by turning draws the sashes
firmly together and locks.
E. Is the slot provided to allow bolt to be pushed into box.
A Is end elevation of A on plan.
D representing hooked lever working on Centre Knob.
B² Is end elevation of B on plan shewing box into which bolt is shot and
quadrant F, on which hook end of lever draws.
I also by giving the knob end of lever a quadrant form and rounding end of
barrel for same to slide on, effects the draw motion required for tighting the sashes,
and I also claim this arrangement as being a modification of that already described.
Dated this 11th day of February 1884.

Foreman Boilermaker I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
IMPROVEMENTS IN WINDOW SASH OR OTHER FASTENERS and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
This fastener is designed to give greater security it being impossible to be opened
from the outside and the degree of tightness with which it draws together the
sashes entirely obviates the nusiance of their rattling against each other, also
preventing dust and dirt from being blown in, this I accomplish by a sliding bolt
attached to a lever as hereinafter described.
The form preferably adopted by me is a bolt working in a barrel, attached to the
aforesaid bolt is a lever with a hooked end, this bolt and lever is pushed along a
slot provided in the barrel till the bolt enters the box, when in this position the
lever is turned and the hook end laying hold of quadrant in box, causes a draw
motion which clips and holds the sashes firmly together and doubly locks same as
illustrated in drawing accompanying my provisional specification and description.
A. Is plan showing lever and bolt when not locked.
B. Is plan of box to receive bolt.
E. Is the slot provided to allow bolt to be pushed into box.
D. Is the lever which (after bolt is pushed into box) by turning draws the sashes
firmly together and locks.
C. Is side elevation showing bolt in box and lever D in locked position, the bolt
is represented by double dotted lines, the waved lines are to indicate sashes or
other timber on which it may be fastened.
A2 Is end ellevation of A on plan.
D Representing hooked lever working on Centre Knob.
B Is end elevation of B on plan showing box on barrel into which bolt is shot,
and quadrant F on which hook end of lever draws.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the saine is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The bolt working in a slotted barrel on one sash and taking into a recess formed
on the other in combination with a lever centred on the bolt, in the manner and
for the purpose substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
Dated this 23rd day of September 1884.
