Application filed July 14, 1913. Serial No. 779,046.

T0 aZZ fwz om 'it may concern Y Be it lrnown that I, WILLIAM S. HAMM, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Hubbard Woods, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certainV new and useful Improvements in Sash-Bolts, of which the following is a specification, and which are illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The invention relates to bolts for window sashes, and particularly to bolts associated with controlling mechanism secured to a cross-rail of the sash at a considerable distance from the sideV thereof.

The object of the invention is to a bolt which, Vwhile housed within tudinal aperture in the provide a longisash rail, may be withdrawn therefrom without removing the sash from its casing. Y p

The invention consists of a flexible bolt associated with any suitable controlling mechanism, and is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which* Figure 1 is a detail elevation of a sash and its casing, some parts being broken away; Fig. 2 is a detail of thel bolt and one form of controlling mechanism; Fig. 3is a detail of the bolt, two of its sections being shown as separated; and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section, partly inelevation of the bottom portion of a sash, showing the invention applied to a metal sash.

The sash casing is represented at 10, and

a horizontal aperture 13, formed in the lower rail of the sash, the forward end of the bolt preferably being inclosed within a bushing 14 of metal and being engageable with recesses, as 15, formed in the stile of the window casing. Y

The bolt 12 is flexible, this flexibility being provided forein the construction as illustrated by forming it of a plurality of sections, as 16, 17, 18, as many such sections being employed as may be necessary. The outer end of the bolt is associated with any suitable controlling mechanism, such as the casing 19, adapted to t within a recess in the face of the sash rail and housing a pair of angle levers 20, 21, which engage a suitable stud, as 22, on the bolt, the levers being controlled by a reciprocable finger-piece 23, provided with a stem24 for engaging the to include any form free arms ofthe levers. Any suitable spring, as 25, is applied for-normally holding the bolt in its advanced position. The aperture 13, within which the bolt is housed, is necessarily quite small, being large enough, however, to permit the bolt to play freely therein without friction. The bolt may be inserted into and removed from this aperture through the aperture within which the casing 19 is seated.

Vhen the bolt is made of rigid sections pivotally united, these sections should be of slightly the casing 19, in order that as each section is withdrawn to the extent of its length the joint uniting it with the next section emerges from the aperture 13, and consequently may be exed.

hile I have shown and described a jointed bolt, I do not desire to be limited thereto, as the invention is of sufficient scope of iexible bolt.

en the sectional bolt is applied to a metal sash, as 26, it is advisable to provide a tube, as 27, withinwhich it may recipro- The tube is shown as having its outer end anchored in the edge wall 28, of the sash and its inner end anchored in a cross plate 29.

I claim as my invention` In combination, a sash, spring-actuated bolt-controlling,mechanism seated within an aperture in the bottom rail of the sash and remote from its end, a flexible bolt attached to the controlling mechanism and extending longitudinally through the sash rail out of alinement with the mouth of said aperture, and being withdrawable therefrom through the aperture.

2. In combination,a sash, spring-actuated bolt-controlling mechanism seated within an aperture in the bottomA rail of the sash remote from its end, a tube leading from the aperture for the controlling mechanism to the end of the rail and being out of alinement with the mouth of said aperture, a flexible bolt attached to the controlling mechanism and reciprocating within the tube and being withdrawable therefrom through the sash aperture.

In combination, a sash bolt comprising a series ofpivotally connected units, and a guiding tube within which the several sections of the bolt reciprocates in the normal alinement therewith throughwhich the bolt Y action of the bolt. may be Withdrawn and replaced Without 4c. In combination, a closure, a bolt comdismounting the closure.

prising a series of pivotally connected units Y Y 5 mounted in a guideway n said closure, oplNitnesSes;VY A erating mechanism for said bolt, said guide- Louis K. G'ILI'ISON, Way being provided With an outlet out of E. M. KLATGHER.
