Improvements in Casements.
1, WILLIAM YOULTEN of 159 Victoria Street Westminster London S.W.
Architect do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In connexion with the construction of casements and their frames I provide an
intermediate hanging stile of wood or other suitable material between the casement
and the frame adjoining any desirable side of the latter. To the said intermediate
hanging stile I hinge the casement and to the casement-frame I hinge the said
intermediate hanging stile. By arranging that the bead or other rabbet-pro-
jection of the frame on the opposite or locking side of the casement shall be
made moveable at will, the casement may be opened either inwards or after
releasing the means provided of securing the casement the intermediate hanging
stile and the bead-projection to the frame outwards. This method of construction
affords opportunities of using any suitable weather check devices all round the
junction of the casement with the frame, and enables the inconvenience attending
the outside cleaning or repairing of casements which open outward only to be
avoided.

I WILLIAM YOULTEN, of 159 Victoria Street, Westminster, in the County of
London, Architect, do hereby 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:-
According to this invention, in connection with the construction of casements
and their frames, I provide an intermediate hanging stile, of wood or other
suitable material, between the casement and the frame, adjoining any desirable
side of the latter. To the said intermediate hanging stile I hinge the casement
and to the casement frame hinge the said intermediate hanging stile. By
arranging that the bead or other rabbet projection of the frame on the opposite or
locking side of the casement shall be made moveable at will, the casernent may
be opened either inwards or (after releasing the means provided for securing
the casement to the intermediate hanging stile, and the bead projection to frame)
outwards.
This method of construction affords opportunities of using any suitable weather
check devices, all round the junction of the casement with the frame, and enables
the inconvenience attending the outside cleaning or repairing of casements, which
open outwards only, to be avoided.
And in order that my said invention may be more readily understood I will
now proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawing accompanying this
Specification, in which
Fig. 1 shew's sectional plan of hanging stile.

The same letters denote the same parts in both the views.
a shews casement, casement frame, c (Fig. 1) intermediate hanging stile,
hinged at d to casement frame b, and at e to casement a. This intermediate
stile is temporarily connected with the frame b, by means of a screw pin f
screwing into a metal socket g. h Fig. 2 is a bead or like projection, hinged
atk to the frame b, so that upon withdrawing a screw pin 1, the bead h may be
turned back.
Suitable means are provided for securing the intermediate stile to the
casement when the casement is turned about the hinge d.
The action is as follows :-
When the pins and are both screwed in, the casement a is free to turn about
the hinge at e, in the direction indicated by the arrow A, and upon withdrawing
the pins and I, and turning the bead (at locking stile) back about the hinge
at k, the said casement can be turned about the hinge d, in the direction of the
arrow B.
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 :-
1. The improvements in casements substantially as set forth.
2. In casements the employment of an intermediate hanging stile, for the
purposes set forth.
