WILLIAM F. FLANIKEN, 0F CISCO, TEXAS.
SASH-FASTENER.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, l/VILLIAM F. FLAN- 1KnN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cisco, in the county of Eastland and State of Texas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sash-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to sash fasteners, the object in view being to provide an exceedingly simple, effective, and durable fastener of the class described, applicable to any window sash, and adapted to hold the sash at any desired elevation, and also to effectively prevent all rattling of the sash, the device being adapted to be thrown out of operation, when necessary, in order to enable the sash to be readily raised and lowered, without any interference on the part of the fastener.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.
In the drawings: Figure l is a front elevation of a window frame, showing a pair of sashes therein and the fasteners of this invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 isa perspective view of the fastener, showing the adjacent side removed. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the fastener, showing also a portion of the window frame and the manner in which the fastener engages the same.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a window frame, and 2 the sash, upon the side bar of which is mounted a casing 3. The opposite side walls 4 of this casing are provided with inclined slots 5 to receive oppositely projecting guide pins 6 on the opposite sides of a rearwardly extending portion 7 of a wedge 8, which is adapted to move vertically and horizontally within the easing, the vertical exposed edge of said wedge being roughened, toothed, or serrated, as shown at 9, so as to enable the same to obtain a firm hold upon the window frame 1 to hold the sash elevated at any position to which it may be adjusted. Within the casing 3 is arranged an inclined Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed July 5, 1912.
Patented Dec. 24,1912.
Serial No. 707,778.
shoulder or abutment wall 10, against which the inclined inner edge 11 of the wedge rides, said shoulder, taken in connection with the pins G which work in the slots 5, serving to direct saidlwedge in an obliquepath, resulting in the binding of the outer edge 9 of the wedge against the window frame, in a manner clearly illustrated in Fig. 3. The extension 7 of the wedge is also formed with a socket 12, in which is received the free lower extremity of a bowed spring 13, the upper end of which is secured permanently at 14 to the top of the casing 3. The spring 13 acts to press the wedge outwardly toward the window frame 1, thereby causing the roughened face 9 to ride against the window frame, until the wedge is moved upward relative to the casing 3, and the shoulder 10, which causes the wedge to bind and hold the sash in an elevated position, and at the same time prevent said sash from rattling.
Extending backward from the wedge 8 is an operating handle, embodying a shank 15 which is movable up and down in a slot 16 in the inner wall of the casing, said shank being provided at its extremity with av knob 17, by means of which the wedge may be drawn downward and inward out of contact with the window frame, and when so moved downward to an inoperative position, the wedge is adapted to be held in such place by means of a locking dog 18 which is pivotally mounted, at 19, on the casing, the lower end of said dog being adapted to bear against the shank 15 and hold the same in a depressed position. When the sash has been raised to the position desired, the dog 18 is thrown out of engagement with the shank 15. This allows the spring 13 to act, and it pushes upward on the wedge 8, causing'the same to become jammed between the shoulder 10 and the window frame 1, thereby securely locking the sash in its raised position.
The fastener hereinabove described may be applied to either or both of the window sashes, and may also be used upon doors or other closures.
What is claimed is:
A sash fastener and anti-rattler, comprising a casing havinginclined guide slots in the wedge inward, and a dog for locking the the opposite sides thereof, an internal wedgwedge in an inactive position. l0 ing shoulder, a wedge slidable in contact In testimony whereof I aiX my signawith said shoulder, pins on the wedge workture in presence 0f two Witnesses'.
ing in the inclined guide slots, a bowed VILLIAM F. FLANIKEN. spring acting to yieldingly press a portion Vitnesses:
of the wedge outward beyond the plane of GEO. A. MILLER7 the casing, an operating element for moving JN0. H. BARRON.
