1, WILLIAM FOWLER, of 35 Victoria Street, in the City and County of
Aberdeen, North Britain, Carpenter and Joiner, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention which relates to a new system of fastening the cord on to the
sash in the hanging of window sashes, has for its object to effect the said operations
in a much more expeditious and superior manuer than has hitherto been accom
plished My invention consists of a cast metal ferrule closed at one end
(preferably) or open at both ends and about one inch in diameter having a hole in
side to receive the sash cord. (The ferrule may be made of cast metal, malleable
cast brass, copper, tin, or other metal substance.) The cord is put through hole
in side and an ordinary knot tied; then the ferrule shaped casting is inserted in
sash flush with surface of same. The cord is thus protected from any function
while sash is being worked up and down and the usual fraying of ends of cord 18
tbus prevented.
By this arrangement there is no danger of cord becoming detached or shipping
as the fastener is kept in position when the window sash is placed in the window
frame.

I, WILLIAM FOWLER, of 35 Victoria Street, in the City and County of
Aberdeen, North Britain Carpenter and Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same 13 to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement
This invention which relates to a new system of fastening the cord on to the
sash in the banging of window sashes has for its object to effect the said operations
In a much more expeditious and superior manner than has hitherto been
accomplished.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory diawings
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation and
Figure 2 an end elevation of iny sash coid fastener showing the cord within it
Figure 3 is a sectional elevation of a sash showing my sash cord fastener in
position, and Figure 4 is a side clevation of the same.
My invention consists of a cast or stamped metal ferrule A closed at one end a
(preferably) or open at both ends and about one inch in diameter having a hole A'
in side to receive the sash cord B. I construct my ferrule from wrought on cast
brass, copper, tin, or other metal substance. The cord is put through a hole C in
side an ordinary knot tied; then the ferrule shaped cup is inserted in the sash D.

so as to he flush with the outer surface of the same.
The cord B is thus protected
from any friction while the sash is being worked up and down and the usual fraying
of the ends of the cord is thus prevented.
By this rangement there is no danger of the sash cord becoming detached or
slipping as the fasteuer cup A is kept in position when the window sash 18 placed
in the window finme.
When making my fastener without an end such as a, I prefer to form it with a
small bent over inner flange which serves as a base o ledge to prevent the inner
end edge of the eyelet like cup from being damaged, I modify the shape of the
fastenei cup to suit the form of cord or chain which is to be attached to it.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny said inveu-
" tion and m what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. The improved sash cold fastener for attachment to window sashes substan-
tially as and for the purposes heretubefore described and as illustrated in the
accompanying drawings
2. A metal cup eyelet, oi ferrule for entering into a hole or recess formed in a
window sash and into which cup or the like the sash cord o sash chain may be
placed, substantially as her einbefore described.
