PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Sash Frames, Sashes, and Appliances
relating to Sashes and Sash Frames.
I JOSEPH TALL of View House, Belvoir Road, Lordship Lane, Dulwich, Surrey
Architect and Consulting Surveyor for Portland Cement Concrete Buildings, do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates
1. To improvements in sash frames.
For this purpose I take a plain piece of timber and I cut away a portion from
below the upper part and from above the lower part to form a channel in which a
square weight can move up and down, said weight being hollow for a portion of its
length, into which lead or other heavy metal can be placed to balance the sash, which
I purpose suspending by a metal cord or wire from its centre, the cord or wire being
rove over pulleys and in grooves of the sash frame as guides, so that I am enabled to
use one weight only for each sash, the sash frame being of a more solid and
substantial character than that of the box frames hitherto used.
2. To hinging the sash frame to an outside frame at one side so that the sash frame,
with the sashes in it, may be opened inwards to enable the outside of the windows to
be cleaned from the inside of the room and to support the overhanging weight of the
sash and sash frame when opened I attach an iron bar or a rod within the lower rail
or sill, which bar or rail can be lowered as a strut and support the sash and frame at
its overhanging end.
The method of hanging sashes by the hollow weights in the manner described can
be applied to existing sashes for raising and lowering only, the hollow weight being
balanced with the sash, by the application of lead or other metal in the pocket of the
weight.
The sashes or sash frames may be connected by screws, screw bolts with cross cut,
cheese head, half round, or other shape of nut, fitted in recesses formed by a centre hit,
said screws or screw bolts being set vertically, horizontally, or at an angle through
the seams or meeting edges of the pieces forming the sash or sash frames or by
feather and keyway and preferably without the employment of glue.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements connected with Sash Frames, Sashes, and Appliances
relating to Sashes and Sash Frames.
1, JOSEPH TALL, of View House, Belvoir Road, Lordship Lane, Dulwich, Surrey,
Architect and Consulting Surveyor for Portland Cement Concrete Buildings,
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
1. To improvements in sash frames.
For the purpose of this part of my invention and which I show in the annexed
rawings, Figure 1 a sectional elevation and Figure 2 a top plan, I take two plain
pieces of timber A, A, and I cut away a portion from below the upper part of one
nd from above the lower part of the other to form channels B in which square
veights C can move up and down, said weights, one of which is seen on a large scale
ட

page_text: in Figure 3, being hollow at D for a portion of their lengths, into which lead or
other heavy metal can be placed to balance the sashes E, E. which purpose
suspending by metal cords or wires F, F, from their centre the cords or wires
being rove over pulleys G, G, G, G, and in grooves of the sash frames A, A, as
guides, so that I am enabled to use one weight only for each sash, the sash frame
Jeing of a more solid and substantial a character than that of the hox frames
hitherto used.
According to the second part of my invention, and which I show at Figure 4 a
part sectional elevation and Figure 5 a sectional plan, I hinge the sash frame A to an
outside frame H at I, 1, on one side, so that the sash frame A with the sashes E E in
it may be opened inwards as seen in dotted lines, Figure 5, to enable the outside of
windows to be cleaned, glazed, or painted from the inside of the room; and to
support the overhanging weight of the sash E and sash frame A when opened, I
attach an iron bar, or a rod J within the lower rail or sill, which bar or rail J can be
lowered as a strut to support the sash E and frame A at its overhanging end.
The method of hanging a sashe by the hollow weight and single cord F in the
manner described can be applied to existing sashes for raising and lowering only, the
hollow weight being balanced with the sash by the application of lead or other metal
in the pocket of the weight.
The sashes or sash frames may be connected by screws, screw bolts with cross cut,
cheese head, half round, or other shape of nut, fitted in recesses formed by a centre
bit, as scen at K Figure 1, said screws or screw bolts being set vertically, horizontally,
or at an angle through the seams, or meeting edges of the pieces forming the sash or
sash frame, or by feather and key way and preferably without the employment of
glue, as set forth in my Complete Specification of Patent No. 13765 of 1889.
Figure 6 is a section of the botton style of the sash frame A having a groove L cut
in its underside, so as to prevent any water percolating under the sash frame and
into the room.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is --
1. The improvements in sash frames consisting of recessing the sash frames A, A,
for the hollow weights (to move in, and suspending each sash by one cord only as
described and substantially as shown in the annexed drawings.
2. Constructing the balance weights of window sashes, hollow, into which hollow,
lead, shot or other metal can be placed for balancing the window sasb, as set
forth.
3. Hingeing a sash frame carrying sliding sashes to an outside frame, to enable the
outside of the windows to be cleaned, glazed. or painted from the inside of the
room, such sash frame having preferably a bar J for supporting same when open, as
set forth.
