Improvements in Window Fasteners. .
I WILLIAM YOULTEN, of 159 Victoria Street, Westminster, in the County of
London, Architect, 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 :-
This invention relates to menus for holding fan-lights and other pivotted sashes
at any desired angle when opened.
According to this invention, in order to secure a fan-light for example (oporated
by a long arm, or simple open and shut cords) at a convenient angle when opened
for ventilation, I provide, on each side of the sash, one or more suitable spring
bolts, and on the frame (in the case of a centre-hung fan-light) a series of holes,
for the reception of the bolts, whilst in the case of bottom-hung lights, the
spring bolts engage holes formed in the side wings or cheeks, when these are
provided.
And in order that my said invention may be better understood, I will now proceed
to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawing in which,
Figure 1 is a part elevation of a centre-bung fan-light sash (as an examplo)
constructed according to my invention, aud
Figure 2 shews a quadrant, with a series of holes therein, fitted to the corre-
sponding portion of the frame.
a Fig. 1. shews a plate, which I term the ball catch plate, screwed to the sash 6
and provided with a ball catch, or other suitable spring bolt c. d is a channel, to
allow the sash to be drawn clear of the pivot. Fig. 2 is a quadrant formed with
holes therein. This quadrante is screwed to the frame so that when the sash 6
is fitted therein and turned about the pivot g, the bail catch c may engage with

the frame.
In the case of bottom-hung lights, the holes ƒ are formed in the side wings or
cheeks, when such are provided.
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 side fasteners for holding windows, the employment of spring bolts in
combination with holes in the frame (or metal receivers) or cheeks of a pivotted
Bash, for the purpose set forth.
2. The improvements in window fasteners, substantially as and for the purpose
set forth.
