Cleaning, Painting, and Glazing from the Inside.
Year: 1887

page_text: Cleaning, Painting, and Glazing from the Inside.
I, JAMES MILLAR, Builder and Contractor, of 133 Percy Street in the City and
County of Newcastle upon Tyne, do hereby delare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
My invention is applicable to all sliding window sashes whether of wood or other
material and existing sashes can be altered and adapted to include it.
Each sash consists of two parts one part being hung by the sash cords; the other
part, which holds the glass, is hinged to the former so as to swing within it, its upper
portion inward and its lower portion outward, until in the extreme position it is
entirely reversed for cleaning, painting or glazing. When closed each half fits
weather tight into the hanging sash by means of bevilled checks formed in each, the
two parts now forming one sliding sash like an ordinary window. Slips of brass or
other metal may be inserted in the checks to strengthen them or to provide for wear
and tear.
The swinging parts of the sashes may be fitted with means for keeping them open
to any required extent for ventilation, and means may be provided. if necessary, by
pins or slot bolts to prevent the hanging sashes sliding up or down when the swinging
sashes are open for cleaning or other purposes.
The swinging sashes are preferably hung upon their hinges below their vertical
centres so that when turned "outside-in" they will remain so, till required to be
reversed, and when closed they fit perfectly weathertight against the hanging sashes
with which they are locked by catches which may be actuated by hand or may be
self acting by springs or otherwise.

page_text: Existing windows may be altered by taking the glass out of the hanging sashes
and cutting away the insides of their "stiles" to receive the swinging sashes the
reverse checks being either formed by cutting them out of the "stiles," or, as will
probably be more convenient, screwing on brass or metal strips to form the checks.
Or the existing hanging sashes may be cut to form the swinging sashes without
removing the glass and hinged onto new hanging sashes with bevilled "checks"
provided upon both.

Cleaning, Painting, and Glazing from the Inside.
1, JAMES MILLAR, Builder and Contractor, of 133 Percy Street in the City and
County of Newcastle-upon-Tyne 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 :-
My invention is applicable to all sliding or other windows, sashes, whether of wood
or iron, or other material, and existing sashes can be altered and adapted to include it.
Each sash style consists of two parts, one part J. Fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on drawing,
the sash style, which holds the glass, the other part C (the hanging style) being hung
by the sash cord, the part J which holds the glass is hinged to the hanging style C,
so as to swing within it, its upper portion inward, and its lower portion outward,
until in the extreme position it is entirely reversed as shewn on drawing Fig. 2 for
cleaning, painting, or glazing. When closed the sash J fits weathertight into the
hanging style by means of "Lock check" rabated joints A. B. Fig. 3 and 4 on
drawing, and the sash style J and hanging style C are then securely locked with small
clutch locks, which may be actuated by hand or may be selfacting by, springs or
otherwise shewn at E. Fig. 1 and 2, on drawing, the two parts now forming one
sliding sash like an ordinary window. Slips of steel or metal may be inserted in the
sash style J and extending the full length of joint being secured with screws to
strengthen the sash and provide for wear and tear as shewn at A. Fig. 3 and 4 on
drawing.
The swinging parts of the sashes may be fitted with means for keeping them open
to any required extent for ventilation, and means may be provided if necessary by
pins or slot bolts or other manner to prevent the hanging styles C sliding up in the
frames when the swinging sashes J are open for cleaning or other purposes.
The swinging sashes Jare preferably hung upon their hinges D below their vertical
centres so that when turned "Outside-in" they will remain so till required to be
reversed and when closed they fit perfectly weather-tight against the hanging styles (
with which they are locked by clutch locks or fastenings at E on drawing and herein
before described. This weather tightness is secured because the reverse rebated
joints A & B are made as shewn in Figures 3 and 4 so that the meeting line or
joint of the sash style J and hanging style C both above and below the hinge on the
outside of the window are in one and the same straight line.
This prevents any
lodgment and entrance of water at the joint.
Existing windows may be altered by taking out the sashes from the frames, and
cutting away a portion of their styles to allow the sash when altered to swing clear of
the parting, and inside and outside beads of the frame. The reverse "Lock checks"
may be formed either by cutting them out to the necessary forin, on opposite sides
of the aforesaid straight joint (shewn at Fig. 3 and 4 on the drawing) from the styles

page_text: and sashes, or as will probably be more convenient screwing on wood, or brass or
metal slips to form the checks. The hanging styles C to fit these sashes being
prepared the same as for new sashes.
An edge view full size of the special hinge for connecting the sash and hanging
style is shewn on drawing at D. Fig. 5, this hinge has a rule joint with a knuckle
projecting about 3" of an inch from the face of sashi stylo C, a side view of which is
shewn on section at D, Fig. 2. The tails of the hinge above and below the centre
may be made of a suitable size, and to have the thickness and sectional form of
rabates above the vertical centre of hinge at B, Fig. 3, and below at B, Fig. 4
respectively, with an inside bevel edge to each tail the same as on the rabates. These
hinges are let in flush with the faces of each rabate (of which they form a part) and
their horizontal centres are in a line with the inside face of sash and hanging style
as shewn, on section at D. Fig. 2 on drawing. The one tail (above the vertical
centre) of hinge is screwed to the sash style C the other tail (below the vertical
centre) to the hanging style J, an edge view shewing how the hinge is fixed is
shown by dotted lines full size at D, Fig. 5, and a side view on section at D, Fig. 2,
on drawing.

has been proposed to construct swinging sashes hinged to sliding styles and I do not claim
that broadly the object of my Invention being to provide such an arrangement with a
weather tight joint and yet allow of the sashes being swuny round so as to present the
outside inwards-but what I claim is
The In window sashes of the kind hereinbefore named the herein beforementioned
"Reverse Lock check rabated Joint" shown at A. B. Fig. 3, 4 and 5 on drawing,
also with special hinges for connecting the sash and hanging styles, all substantially
as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
