1 RICHARD NINNES of Bell Street, Reigate in the county of Surrey, Ironmonger,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is designed to supply a small automatic casement stay which will
holl a casement at any required angle and which is devoid of springs or screws so that
its action is not likely to be impaired by rust or defeated by the breaking of a spring
or stripping of a thread, and the stay thus rendered useless as so often happens to the
ordinary casement stays.
My Casement stay consists of the usual arm and backplate on which the arm is
hinged. The upper edge of the arm is notched in the usual way. On the arm there
slides freely to and fro a small tubular sleeve which is also hinged to a backplate. In
the top of the tubular sleeve is a special catch which is hinged to the sleeve at the back,
and has a projecting thumb-piece in front. From this catch there hangs a stud which
fits the notches in the arm of the stay.
The mode of action is to first lift the catch and release the arm, then adjust the
casement to the position required, whereupon the catch is allowed to fall, when it
immediately secures the sleove on the arm and holds the casement firm.
My improved Casement Stay can be made entirely of brass or of any non-oxidyzable
metal, or of iron coated or galvanized so as to preserve it from rust.
My improved Stay is reversible so that it can be used for either hand.
It has no loose parts to become separated and lost. Wind has no effect upon it
and it is so simple as to be understood and manipulated by a child.

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:
This invention is designed to supply a small automatic casement stay, which will
hold a casement at any required angle, and which is devoid of springs or screws, so
that its action is not likely to be impaired by rust, or defeated by the breaking of a
spring or the stripping of a thread, and the stay thus rendered useless, as so often
happens to the ordinary casement stay.
My casement stay consists of the usual arm A and backplate B on which the arm A
On the arm
is hinged. The upper edge of the arm A is notched C in the usual way.
there slides freely to and fro a small tubular sleeve D which is also hinged to a
backplate E. In the top of the tubular sleeve is a special catch F which is hinged to
the sleeve at the back, and has a projecting thumb peice in the front.
catch there hangs a stud G, which fits the notches in the arm of the stay. The mode
of action is, to first lift the catch and release the arm, then adjust the casement to the
position required, whereupon the catch is allowed to fall, when it immediately secures
the sleeve on the arm and holds the casement firm.
From this
My improved casement stay can be made entirely of brass, or any nonoxydizable
metal, or of iron coated or galvanized so as to preserve it from rust.
My improved stay is reversible, so that it can be used for either hand. It has no
loose parts to become separated and lost. Wind has no effect upon it, and it is so
simple as to be understood and manipulated by a child.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I claim is,
The construction of a window fastening, of which notched bar A, tubular sleeve D),
special catch F and stud G, form essential paris, the whole as described and shown in
the accompanying drawings.
