PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means and Appliances for Securing the Sashes of Windows
in the Required Position.
I, MELVILLE ROGERS of 5, Thornhill Grove Barnsbury London, Joiner, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to secure the two sashes of a window together at any
required height. This enables the windows to be partially opened, and yet securely
fastened against burglary. Upon one of the upright portions of the upper sash I fix a
continuous metal ratchet, and upon the top of the lower sash and in the same vertical
plane as the before mentioned ratchet, I securely fix a spring bolt which works into
and against this ratchet.
This spring bolt is enclosed in a casing and is fitted with a projecting knob, which is
capable of being turned down a slot, that holds the bolt back."
When this spring bolt is free, the knob stands in a vertical position, and slightly
moves backwards and forwards in a horizontal manner.
When I require to open my sashes, I pull back the knob of the bolt, and turn it into
the side slit. I can now move either of my sashes up and down at will. When I have
opened them to the required position, I raise the knob, and allow the spring bolt to
slip forward, which thus engages itself with the vertical ratchet. This securely fastens
the two sashes together.
If I now wish to close my sashes, I can do so without touching the spring bolt, on
account of the formation of the ratchet, and when the two sashes are closed, the spring
bolt will again slip into the bottom portion of the ratchet and the sashes are firmly
secured.
It will thus be seen that my improved fastening appliance is automatic in its
action.
As my improvements are capable of some modifications without departing from the
principle thereof, I do not limit myself to material, or dimensions, or to the precise
form or placement of the various parts thereof.

I, MELVILLE ROGERS 25 Rotherfield Street Essex Road Joiner 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 object of my invention is to secure the two sashes of a window together at any
required height. This enables the windows to be partially or wholly opened and when
partially opened to be securely fastened. Upon one of the upright portions of the
upper sash I affix a metal ratchet and upon the top of the lower sash and in the same
vertical plane as the said ratchet I fix a spring bolt which engages with the said
ratchet.
The spring bolt is enclosed in a casing and is fitted with a projecting knob which is
capable of being turned down a slot which holds the bolt back.
Referring to the annexed drawing Fig. 1 shows sectional side elevation of a window
frame with my invention affixed. A. A sash frames. B bolt in casing C. D spring.
E slot. Frack.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is.
(1) The rack F in combination with the bolt B. for holding the sashes of windows
in the required position substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.
