vented new and useful Improvements -in Combined Sash-Fasteners and 'Antirattling Devices, of'which the following is a specification. y Y

,The invention relates to a window sash fastener, and more particularly to the class of combined window sash fasteners and anti-rattling devices.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a device of this character in which the upper and lower sashes in a window frame will be securely locked and held against rattling when in closed position.

Another object'of the invention is the provision of a device of this character in which the upper and lower sashes of a window will be automatically locked on the closing thereof and at the same time will be held against rattling while closed.

A further object of the invention. is the provision of a device of this character which may be readily mounted upon the sashes of a window, the device being simple of construction; thoroughly reliable and eflicient in operation, and inexpensive in manufacture. With these and other objects in view, the

invent-ion consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will i be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings,' and pointed .out in the appended claim.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a fragmenwindow frame thereto. Fig. 2- is a vertical longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig.

4 is a plan "iew of the locking device and anti-rattler detached from the meeting rail of the lower window sash. Fig 5 is a perspective-view of the keeper plate detached from the meeting 'rail of the upper sash.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 5 and 6 designate the inner and outer meeting rails, respectively, of the upper and lower sliding sashes 7 of a window frame 8 of the ordinary wellknown construction. To these meeting railsof the sashes is connected the fastener and anti-rattling device, as

will be hereinafter more fully described.

--comprises a keeper plate 9,-the latter being secured to the mner face of the outer meeting tudinal' ed e extended'beyond the upper face "of the sai jmeeting'r'ail and out-turned t'o provide a beveled flange 10, the plate 9 being mg ton or attac edto a swinging plate 13 hinged at .one end within a casing 14 provided with a front plate 15 fixed to the inner face of the inner meeting rail 5 of the lower sash 7 of the window frame, thecasing 14 being disosed within a suitable niche or recess cut into the meeting rail 5 from the inner face thereof. v I

Suitably fixed to the wall of the casing14 opposite the front plate 15 thereof is a window frame, whereby theto-ngue 12 will engage in the said slot 11 in' the keeper plate, thereby locking the said sashes in closed position.

Rising from the inner wall of the casing and above\the same is an inwardly comprising a single strip of spring metal the free end of which istadaptedto engage:

brou ht to closed position to prevent any weather. 1

Connected with the spring 16 and loosely passed through suitable 0 eningsin the rear wall of thecasing 14 and is a pull stem or shank 19, the outer'end of which is provided with a button head 20 spaced from the outer face of the inner meeting, rail 5, whereby the fingers of an operator may gri the" same for releasing the tongue 12 or disengaging it from the slot 11 in the keeper plate when it is desired to lower the upper sash or raise the lower sash for the opening of the window,

This sash fastener is designed to prevent a person-from raising the lower sash or lowspring member-.16, the free end thereof be- I and downwardly curved yieldable element, 18

What is claimed is: The combination with the meeting rails of movable Window sashes, of a plate fixed to the inner edge of one of said rails -and havable'with the said flange atia point adjacent 5 its free, end, whereby the said finger will hold the meeting rails in resilient contact with each other, and a spring-held latch interposedbetween the said rails and having a nib normally engaged in the slot in the said plate.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
