SASH HOLDER.

A 7'TORNEY8 CHARLES SCHEIBEL, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

SASH-HOLDER.

$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 473,354, dated April 19, 1892.

Application filed November 27, 1891. Serial No. 413,191. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES SOHEIBEL, of San Francisco,in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Window-Locks, of which the following is a full clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improvement in window-locks, and has for its object to provide a device of exceedingly simple character capable of application either to an upper or a lower sash; and a further object of the invention is to so construct the lock that the window may be securely held in a predetermined position, and whereby also the device will act as an anti-rattler, preventing the lateral movement of the sash, and also serve to prevent the ingress of dust when the sash is in its locked position.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures and letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views. 1

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a windowsash having the improvement applied thereto, the glass being in section. Fig.2 is a vertical section taken practically on the line as w of Fig. 1, the handle and cam being turned in a reverse direction to that shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken essentially on the line y y of Fig. 1. Fig. at is a vertical section taken practically on the line ,2 z of Fig. 2; and Figs. 5, 6, and 7 are detail views of the attachment.

In the outer side edge of the sash A a recess 10 is produced, which recess is preferably circular and extends through the front face of the sash, as is best shown in Fig. 4. The recess 10 is met by a bore, which extends horizontally through the sash from its outer side edge to its inner side edge, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Into this bore a sleeve 11 is inserted, which sleeve is provided with a longitudinal feather 12, the said feather serving to prevent the sleeve from turning in the sash. The sleeve extends slightly beyond the inner edge of the sash and the projecting portion thereof is cut away diametrically to form a semicircular lug 13, as shown in Fig. 7. In the sleeve a spindle 14 is held to turn, and this spindle has attached at its outer end an eccentric 15, the eccentric being located in and held to turn in the recess 10. The eccentric may be attached to the spindle in any approved manner. The connection, however, is

preferably effected through the medium of a set-screw 16 or the equivalent thereof. The inner end of the spindle extends some dis tance beyond the inner extremity of the sleeve 11, and the projecting end of the spindle is reduced in diameter. The said spindle is provided at one side adjacent to the reduced end with a fiat surface 17, fora purpose to be hereinafter described.

A handle 18, partaking somewhat of the nature of a winged nut, is located upon the inner end of the spindle let, and the said handle is provided with a lip 19, the said lip being adapted to engage with the flattened surface 17 of the spindle and to turn in the cutaway portion of the inner end of the sleeve 11. The handle is secured to the sleeve in a manner which admits of it being readily removed-that'is, preferably through the me-' dium of a screw 20 and washer 21,the washer being placed upon the outer surface of the body of the handle, and the screw is passed through the washer into the threaded aperture in the inner extremity of the spindle.

The handle 18 when attached is turned away from the glass of the sash, so as not to come in engagement with it, and when the wing of the handle is in its lowermost position, as shown in Fig. 1, the eccentric 15 will be forced against the inner rail 24 of the window-frame 23, thus forcing the sash against the outer rail 22 of the frame, and when the wing of the handle is in its uppermost position, as shown in Fig. 2, the eccentric is carried away from the inner rail 24 of the frame, and the sash may be moved in the frame either upward or downward. By producing the lip 19 upon the handle and engaging said lipwith a flattened surface upon the spindle the spindle and the handle are compelled to turn together, and the lip by engaging with the rib 13 upon the sleeve or casing 11 serves to limit the revolution of the spindle in two directions and also effectually prevents the wing of the handle from being carried inward, so as to engage with the pane of the sash.

It will be observed that this invention is exceedingly simple, economic, and durable, that it may be applied to either the right or the left hand side of the upper or of the lower sash of a window, and that when the eccentric is in engagement with the rail 24: 0f the window-frame the window-sash is not only locked in a position which prevents it from being raised or lowered, but the sash is also eiliectually prevented from rattling, and as the sash when locked is forced against the outer rail, constituting the outer wall of the sash-slideway, dust is effectually prevented from entering the room.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a window-lock, the combination, with a sash provided with a recess in its outer side face and a bore leading into said recess, in which a sleeve is fixedly held, provided at its inner end with a rib, of a spindle held to turn in the sleeve, an eccentric located in the recess of the sash and secured to the spindle, and a handle attached to the spindle and provided with a lip adapted for engagement with the rib of the sleeve, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a window-lock, the combination, with a sash provided with a recess in its outer-side face and a bore leading into the recess, in which bore a sleeve is rigidly secured, the said sleeve being provided at its inner extremity with a rib or lug, of a spindle held to turn in the sleeve, an eccentric attached to the outer end of the spindle, which eccentric is located in the recess of the sash, the said spindle at its inner end being provided with a flat surface, and a handle secured to the inner end of the spindle, which handle is provided with a lip engaging with the flat surface of the spindle and adapted for engagement with the opposite ends of the rib or lug upon the sleeve, substantially as shown and described.

CHARLES SOHEIBEL.
