Ordinary Windows during Cleaning.
I, WILLIAM JOSEPH COOK, of 225 St. Johns Street, Clerkenwell, Middlesex,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to construct or arrange a chair or the like, in
such a manner that it can be affixed to any ordinary window and be secured firmly
in position to enable servants to clean the outside of the windows or workman to do
any necessary outside repairs.
The apparatus consists of two battons to set or be rested upon a window sill
said battens having a frame projecting to the inside of a room and provided with a
screw or other ineans of adjustinent for engaging under the lower bead of the sash
frame to fix the apparatus rigidly in position.
The upper edges or parts of the battens have a chair seat or the like affixed and
a chair back so hinged or jointed that it can be made to stand up to enable a servant
or other person to be protected from falling back, said jointed chair back when not
in use being folded down upon or in proximity to the chair seat so that when the screw
or other fixing appliance is released the chair back can be secured and the article be
removed and stowed away for after use.
The apparatus is very portable and occupies very little room.

I, WILLIAM JOSEPH COOK, of 225 St. Johns Street, Clerkenwell, Middlesex,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to bo porformed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The object of this invention, is to construct, or arrange a chair, or the like, in such
a manner that it can be affixed to any ordinary window and be secured firmly in
position to enable servants to clean the outside of the windows, or workmen to do any
necessary outside repairs.
My invention is shown on the annexed drawings.
Figure 1 is a side elevation.
Figure 2 a front view with the appliance in an open state ready to be affixed on or
to a window sill of a house, as indicated by the elevation. Figure 3, the apparatus
being there represented as affixed, to enable the windows to be cleaned, or repairs to
be effected, painting the outside sashes, or frames, etc.
Figure 4 shows the apparatus with the back folded down upon the seat for occupying
little room when stowed away.
The apparatus consists of two battens. A, A, to sit, or be rested upon a window
sill B, said battens A, A, having a frame C projecting to the inside of a room and
provided with a screw D, or other means of adjustment for engaging under the lower
bend of the sash frame to fix the apparatus rigidly in position.
The upper edges or parts of the battens A, A, have a chair seat E, or the like
affixed and a chair back F so hinged, or jointed, that it can be made to stand up, as at
Figures 1, 2, and 3, by abutting against the stops G, G, to enable a servant, or other
person to be protected from falling backwards, said jointed chair back F, when not in
use, being folded down upon, or in proximity to the chair seat E, as at Figure 4, so
that when the screw D, or other fixing appliance is released, the chair back can be
secured and the article be removed and stowed away for after use.
The apparatus is very portable and occupies very little room particularly when
folded, as at Figure 4, and a further reduction can be made if the frame C be
shiftable on the battens A, A.
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 :-
:-
The foldable apparatus shown at Figures 1, 2 and 4, of the annexed drawings,
constructed in the manner described for sitting on a window sill and affixable by screw
appliance from the inside of a room, as shown at Figure 3, of the annexod drawings,
and, as and for the purposes set forth.
