PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Reversible Sliding Windows.
LOUIS ENGLAND, 41 Victoria Crescent Barnsley, Yorkshire Joiner, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The sash styles is made in two seperate pieces Viz. Sliding piece and style of
glazed sash. The two styles are connected together throughout in length by a
specially constructed hinge the length of the styles and is formed with flanges on
the edges which fit into corresponding groves made in sliding peices & glazed
sash style. The top half of hinge is then secured to glazed style and bottom half
of hinge to sliding peice and the centre line of hinge is placed directly over the
joint between sliding peice and glazed style thereby forming a perfectly air &
weather tight joint and at the same time allowing the glazed part of sash to
completely reverse inwards on knuckle of hinge. The two styles are connected
together at the meeting rail by a bolt or catch and the window may then be used
as an ordinary double hung sliding window. The sashes of any double hung
window may be adapted to this idea.

declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following

on the ends K which screws in knuckle J and may be unscrewed and removed so
that by removing the two screws H the sashes may be lifted completely out so
as to attach new cords etc. without disturbing the beads.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:

(2) An improved hinge G. for connecting the glazed sash style E and sliding
piece together.
(3) An imroved threaded screw H for connecting the two parts of the hinge
together formed with slot in head of H for detaching.
