Improvements in or relating to Sliding Windows, Skylights, Doors,
and the like.
I, PETER SHIPPOBOTTAM of 22 Nixon Terrace, Roseberry Street, Rumworth,
Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Builder and Contractor, do hereby declare
the nature of my said invention to be as follows:
This invention refers to improvements in or relating to sliding windows,
skylights, doors, and the like, and is designed to allow of the same being cleaned
and glazed from the inside of a building. This I effect by constructing the window
sashes in the usual manner and provide them with a rail or rod fixed to the ordinary
framework, against or on which slides the window sash, skylight, door, or other
frame. To the window sash is secured, in any convenient manner, wood or other
The
slides provided with bearings to receive the ends of the swivelling centres.
latter are mounted in the centre or thereabouts on the sash or framework of
the window, skylight, door, and the like, and are disposed in fixings provided with
angular slots having serrated surfaces. In the angular slots operate handles
or levers which are pressed against the serrated surfaces by spiral springs
to allow of the window, skylight, door, and the like being held against any of the
said serrations according to the amount of opening required. By turning the
handles or levers in one direction pressure is reduced so as to allow of the window
sash, skylight, door, and the like, being slid up and down and swivelled or turnel
over for the purposes before mentioned. In lieu of the sliding bars and handles or
levers screwed centres and wing nuts may be employed.
On the bead or frame are fixed bearings to support the outer ends of the said
Swivelling centres. Means are provided by which the windows, skylights, doors,
and the like may be easily removed without disturbing the framework, and consists
of fixings of an angular or open description so formed as to prevent the same falling
out unless lifted for the purpose, and which allows of the same being either fast
portable. In the case of sliding windows this invention may be fitted to the
ordinary window frames, and may be provided with the usual sash cords and
weights.

1, PETER SHIPPOBOTTAM of 22 Nixon Terrace, Roseberry Street, Rumworth,
Bolton in the County of Lancaster, Builder and Contractor, do hereby declare the
nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention refers to improvements in or relating to sliding windows, skylights,
doors, and the like, and is designed to allow of the same being cleaned and glazed
from the inside of a building. This I effect by constructing the window sashes in
the usual manner and provide them with a rail or rod fixed to the ordinary
framework, against or on which slides the window sash, skylight, door, or other

frame. To the window sash is secured, in any convenient manner, wood or other
slides provided with bearings to receive the ends of the swivelling centres.
latter are mounted in the centre or thereabouts on the sash or framework of the
window, skylight, door, and the like, and are disposed in fixings provided with
angular slots having serrated surfaces. In the angular slots operate handles
or levers which are pressed against the serrated surfaces by spiral springs to allow
of the window, skylight, door, and the like being held against any of the said
serrations according to the amount of opening required. By turning the handles or
levers in one direction pressure is reduced so as to allow of the window sash,
skylight, door, and the like, being slid up and down and swivelled or turned over
for the purposes before mentioned. In lieu of the sliding bars and handles or levers
screwed centres and wing nuts may be employed.
On the bead or frame are fixed bearings to support the outer ends of the
said swivelling centres. Means are provided by which the windows, skylights,
doors, and the like may be easily removed without disturbing the framework, and
consists of fixings of an angular or open description so formed as to prevent the same
falling out unless lifted for the purpose, and which allows of the same being either
fast or portable. In the case of sliding windows this invention may be fitted to the
ordinary window frames, and may be provided with the usual sash cords and
weights

page_text: allow of the window being swivelled as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 according to
the amount of opening required. By turning the handles or levers N in one
direction the pressure on the slides G is released from the sides of the window sash
and slid backwards, after which the latter may be moved up and down and
swivelled or turned over. By turning the handles or levers N in the opposite
direction the slides G are forced tight against the sides of the sash, thereby securing
the same in position to make them proof against storm, rain, sand, draught, rattling,
and the like. In lieu of the sliding bars P and handles or levers N the fixings K
may be provided with the screws P and wing nuts Q. The outer end of the
centres J are provided with the circular ends R, which rest on the fixed bearings S
attached to the bead or window frame B to support the same.
To allow of the window sashes A being removed without disturbing the frame-
work B the fixings I are of the description shown in Figs. 8 and 9, which will also
prevent the same falling out unless lifted for the purpose. In case the window is
on the swivelling principle the slides G and slots F are only the length of each
window sash A. By placing the slides G in the slots F of equal length to the
swivelling sashes they are held in position vertically, but are movable to and fro
laterally by the actions of the centres J mounted in the fixings K on the window
sashes A.
Having now particularly described and 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. In combination with the window frame B and sashes A the use of the
stationary rods or rails E, slides G mounted in the slots F, the slides G being
constructed and arranged to operate both vertically and laterally and secured to the
sashes A by the centres J, sliding bars or screws P, bearings K, fixings I, and
bearings S, applied and operating substantially as described and as illustrated in the
drawings.
2. In combination with the window frame B and sashes A the use of the
stationary rods or rails E, slides G mounted in the slots F of equal length to each
sash A, the slides G being constructed and arranged to operate laterally and
secured to the sashes A by the centres J, sliding bars or screws P, bearings K,
fixings I, and bearings S, applied and operating substantially as described and
as illustrated in the drawings.
3. In combination with window frames and sashes the use and construction of the
bearings K with the angular slot L and serrated surface M, sliding bar P, centre J,
end R, spiral spring O, lever or handle N, and the fixing I with bearing H,
substantially as described and as shown in the drawings in Figs. 9 to 11 inclusive.
