1, WILLIAM MURRAY, 74 Ashley Road, Aberdeen, Painter do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to that class of sashes which have a vertical movement.
Instead of attaching the sashes to weights, I attach the sashes to one another by cords
passing over pulleys fixed in the lintel or in the pulley stile. I provide two weights
for balancing the upper sash when it is required to move it independently of the
lower sash. These weights move in grooves in the window frame, grooves being also
made in the lower sash to enable it, that is, the lower sash to pass by the weights.
The cords are attached to the sashes by hooks and eyes, or other convenient
arrangement so that they may quickly be detached from the sash and attached to
the weights.
In the
Beading is fixed on to the lower bar of the lower sash and to the upper bar of the
upper sash, which fits respectively into grooves made on the sill and lintel of the
window frame. By this means the sashes are made perfectly tight when closed.
The sashes are secured together when closed in the following manner.
lower bar of the upper sash is a groove into which fits a beading on the upper bar
of the lower sash. This beading is pressed outwards by a spring, which arrange-
ment allows the beading to be pressed inwards when it is desired to move the sashes.
Any contrivance such as a screw handle may be employed to keep the beading out
and thus securely fasten the sashes together.
A part of one side of the frame is made to fold back upon hinges so that the sashes
can be taken out. The window in that case slides into the recess and is thus removed
from the groove on the opposite side. If desired the sashes can then be attached
to hinges and swing horizontally.

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 relates to that class of sashes which have a vertical movement and
has for its object to enable the said sashes to be swung horizontally so that the
windows can be cleaned by a person standing in the Room.
And in order that my invention may be fully understood and carried into practice
I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which similar letters designate corresponding parts throughout.
Fig. I is a perspective view of my improved window sash and frame.
Fig. II is a vertical section.
Fig. III is part of the front elevation of the side A.B. (Fig. 1).
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the board fitting into the recess shewn in Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a front elevation of the same.
Fig. 6 is an enlarged side view of the fastening arrangement.
Instead of attaching the sashes to weights, I attach the sashes to one another by
cords C. D. passing over pulleys E. fixed in the lintel or in the pulloy, stile.
I provide two weights F for balancing the upper sash when it is required to move
it independently of the lower sash. These weights move in grooves in the window
frame, grooves being also made in the lower sash to enable it, that is the lower sash,
to pass by the weights F. The cords are attached to the sashes by hooks and eyes G.,
or other convenient arrangement so that they may quickly be detached from the sash,
and attached to the weights, and vice versa.
Beading H. is fixed on to the lower bar of the lower sash and to the upper bar
of the upper sash, which fits respectively into grooves made on the sill and lintel
of the window frame. By this means the sashes are made perfectly tight when
closed.
The sashes are secured together when closed in the following manner. In the lower
bar of the upper sash is a groove J (Fig. 6) into which fits a beading K on the upper
bar of the lower sash. This beading is pressed outwards by a spring L. which arrange-
ment allows the beading to be pressed inwards when it is desired to move the sashes.
Any contrivance such as a screw handle M. may be employed to keep the beading
out, and thus securely fasten the sashes together.
A part of one side of the frame is made to fold back upon hinges so that the
sashes can be taken out or the stile may be made with a recess O. from which a
board N. can be taken and replaced at pleasure (see Figs. 3. 4 & 5). The window in
that case slides into the recess O. and is thus removed from the groove O in the
opposite side. If desired the sashes can then be attached to the hinges P. P. and
swung horizontally.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my Invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is ;-
I. The construction of a window frame in which the upper and lower sashes are
attached to each other by cords passing over pullies, substantially as described.
II. The construction of a window frame in which the upper sash, when required
may be attached to weights which run in grooves cut in the under sash and frame,
substantially as described.
III. The construction of window sashes with beading H to fit into grooves cut in
the sill and lintel of the frame, substantially as described.
IV. The construction of a window frame in which the upper and lower sashes are
attached to each other by cords passing over pullies, furnished with weights to which
the upper sash may be attached by the cord when necessary, the said upper and lower
sashes being provided with beading H to fit into grooves cut in the sill and the
lintel of the frame, all substantially as and for the purposes specified, and illustrated
in the accompanying drawing.
Dated this 10th day of September 1887.
