View the easements are shown os oniy partly open. hrmgmo; the brackets 11 close together. To

They may be entirely opened by dose the case-moms, the brackets 11 are 11 project across the strip 13 immediately.

above the locking rod 14, and the iocki ng rod 1+1 is provided with a handle 17 so that 1 it may be turned to bring its bowed portionupwmfily against the under side of the.

Markets 11 and thereby exert,,a ressure against the hmckeis 11 which will iotio'lrall hold them from movement in either direction Mid thereby lock the casemehtsinto any position into which they may be adjos'toii. A'simpie turn of the handle 17 will rovoivo the rod 115," and relieve its pressure against the brackets 11, permitting the casen'ionts to be adjusted. Fig. fi'shows the position of the locking rm} when adjusted to hem against the bracket 11, while Fig. 6

shows the locking rod adijuotedto release 'zho brackets 11.

An important advontoge of the device is that in. addition to its simplicity and efi'- tivoness and ooso of operation, it is readily ocoossible and may be readily attached to the' window after the easements are set, by an ordinary carpenter. i in the form shown in Figs. 8, 9 and 10, the easement. is pivo tully supported in means of o. link 18 which is pivoted to a racket 19 secured to the cosemnt 20, the'link 18 at its other end being pivoted at 21 to the frame 22; The casement 20 is pivoted at 9' to a. o'iiding; Hook 5, traveling in mi 2 in a. manner similar. to thotprevibusly described, and being operated similarly by a, bracket .31 and knob 11'1. Locking is performed by a locking rod 1-1 similar to that previously described. In this form the only difi'erence is the exact positioning in the easement, se-- cured by the link 18. 1 3

As the cosemenifiis opened it pivots at 19 and slides the block 5 along the rail 2 the pivoq; l9 floating to accommodate this move- :it' stands in the position shown in Fig i ent. when the caseinent is fully opened,

If d'esired', the casementmay be locke catch 23, as shown in Fig. 8, or it lma locked in any neitheriorm it" will be noted that the handle members 11 or 11 extend under the stool to a point within theroom so that the lmobs'of the handles are'always accessible, noinatterwhat the position of the window. Th's'enables the window to be adjusted to --.any position, open or closed, without having r necessary) to reach through the Window opening. This obviates the necessity of operating the screen, window shade, or moving the curtains in anyway whatsoever whenever it is to adjust the window.

-Each racket 11 01- 11 is rigidly secured to its casement and is so curved that its inner free end lies very close to the wall when the casement is closed, as clearly indicated in 7. This is a very valuable feature, be-

cause the bracket does not project into the room and offer any.' obstruction; Moreoverj.

that end of the bracket which is secured to the easement is located so close to the pivot 9 of the easement, and thepivot 9 is slidable,

- that in the 0 erat-ion. of the easement b the bracket, the ins of travel of the free inner end of the bracket is almost parallel to'the edge of the stool of the window, so that-for any position of the window, the handle 12 position desired by the ticknioaaie strike the 'stodl of the window and prevent proper operation. But being extended to a point beyond the edge of the easement, the/ openin -movement of the easement causes the en of the bracket tomove slightly inward into the room,

ment. en the casement is half opened, that-is; at anangle of 4=5,the-han dle 12 Will stand-its farthest distance from the stool, while further opening movement of the casement'will cause the handle 12 to'again move outward toward the stool, so that when the easement is' i'n its. extreme open position at 90 to thefrahie of the window, the handle 12 will again have-been moved into its closest 'positiontethe stool.
