PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
Improvements in Fasteners for Window Sashes, Casements, Doors,'
and the like.
DANIEL ATKINSON, Forger, 5 Normanton Street, Sheffield, JOHN KAYE,.
Fruit Merchant Laithfield House, Norfolk Road Sheffield do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improvements in window and other fasteners, specially applicable to sashes,
casements, doors, and for other similar purposes.
This invention relates to an improved mode or method of securing window
sashes, casements, doors, and for other similar purposes; so as to firmly secure them
from being opened from the outside of same.
We take and provide a metal plate to which is attached a bar worked as is
usual in ordinary window fastenings; this plate is attached to the upper sash.
We then provide a spring. of an improved pattern, which is made from a piece
of flat steel about half-inch wide, and about 24 gauge; and cranked in the form
of letter Z, so that it stands sufficiently high, that when placed upon the lower
sash to allow the sash bar to just shoot under one end, as one end is provided
with a projection or catch and the other end is punched or drilled with two
holes to receive two screws to fasten to it (i.e.) the spring to the lower sash;
thus doing away with all brass or metal plates for fastening to the lower sash,
as the spring is made all in one piece, or otherwise, and is quite secure when
fastened.
When wishing to fasten the window it is necessary to close the bar in the
usual way (i.e.) by pulling it forward to a position at right angles to the
window; when doing so the projection on the underside of the spring shoots
down and firmly secures the bar from being forced back from the outside.
When wishing to open the window it is necessary to place the forefinger under
the projection, or the underside of the spring, and lift it up sufficiently high so
as to allow the bar to be forced back by the thumb of the same hand.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion; and in what manner the same is to be performed; we declare that what'
we claim is;
1
A novel and simple application for easily locking sashes of windows, doors,:
casements, (and for other similar purposes) on the inside, so as to secure them
from being opened from the outside; as herein described.

In order to enable iny invention to be fully understood, I will proceed to describe
the same by means of and with reference to the accompanying drawings-
