We, ALBERT AYERS, of Rahway, in the County of Union, and State of New
Jersey, United States of America, Manufacturer, and WILLIAM ROBERT WILSON, of
Elizabeth, in the County of Union, and State of New Jersey, United States of
America, Lawyer, 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 this Invention is to provide sash frames, holders, and casings, for
railway, and other carriages, and for other uses, constructed in such a manner that
the sashes will be kept from rubbing, or rattling, and will be held securely in every
position into which they may be adjusted.
"
The Invention consists in the combination with the frame or casing having a
curved groove provided with a "throw over" in the bottom of its "throw over
sash groove, of a. sash frame provided with spring friction holders, as will be
hereinafter fully described, and then claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this
specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in
all the figures.
Figure 1. is an elevation, partly in section, of a carriage door to which our
improvement has been applied.
Figure 2. is a sectional elevation of the same, taken through the line xx Figure 1,
the sash being removed.
Figure 3. is an edge elevation of the sash.
Figure 4. is a sectional plan view of a part of the frame taken through the
line y y Figure 2, and of the sash taken through the line z z Figure 3.
A. represents the frame of a carriage door which is provided with a sash groove, B,
having a "throw over," or fence-rail C, to support the sash frame D, when raised.
To the upper and lower parts of the side edges of the sash frame D, are attached
the spring friction-holders E, forming the subject of a previous application for
letters patent dated October 13th 1885.
In the bottoms of the sash grooves B, are formed grooves F, to receive the
ends of the holders E, and in which the said holders E, slide up and down. T'he

or
"throw over" G, a little above the "throw over
grooves F, are made with a
fence rail C, of the sash groove B, for the lower holder E, to move into when the
lower edge of the sash frame D, is pushed outwards over the fence rail C.
The part of the groove F, below the "throw over" G, is made with a curve, as
shown in Figure 2, and the part of the said groove F, above the said "throw over,"
is made with a lesser curve, so that the two holders E, can move freely along the
said groove as the sash frame D, passes up and down between its upper and lower
positions, and the sash will be kept from binding during its movement, and in
every position into which it may be adjusted.
We have shown and described the Invention as applied to carriage doors, but do
not limit ourselves to that use, as it can be applied to railway, and other carriage
windows, and to other windows, and blinds, having an up and down movement,
and provided with a "throw over."
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The combination with the frame, or casing A, having a curved groove F, pro-
vided with a "throw over G, in the bottom of its "throw over "sash groove B,
"
of a sash frame D, provided with spring friction holders E, sliding in the said
grooves F, substantially as herein shown, and described whereby the sash will be
kept from rattling, and rubbing, and will be held securely in any position, as set
forth.
