Mounted in the casing 10 is asash 11, having drawings,I have 7 used the reference numeral 10 to. indicate 13. is provided with counter-sunk openings 1 1, sothat the member '13 may be screwed or fixed to the frame 10. The heads of the screws are per surface of the member 13. Fixed on the sash 11 is a member 15, the member 15 also has counter-sunk openings 16, so that the member 15'may be secured or fixed to-the sash-11. i The. member 13has formed on itslower endw'ahoo'lc portion 17. The hoo'k17 of the member 13 isdesigned to be received in the opening 1801? the member 15. Theopening 18 hasa notch or groove in its lower side '19, I the purposes 0 which will be more fully set forth. Across the upper end of; the member 15 directly above the opening 18 is the.portion 1 9, which is rounded substantially as is shown in Fig. 41, so that it maybe received in the hook 17 of the member 18. The sash li may be swung outwardly, the portion 19 an'd the hook member 17 forming a hinge. The sash may be swung outwardly substantially as is shown in dotted lines in.

Fig. 2 ofthe drawings. V

The member15 has the curved, outwardly extending portion 20. The lower end of the member 15 sets adjacent to the sash 11, while the upper end above spaced from the sash. Fixed in theupper -member 13 is a screw 21, having a head thereon 22.1 The screw 21 is received within a screw-threaded opening in the member 13.

designed to be flush with the up-- .the curved portion 20 is received between the member 13 and the head of the screw 22.. The locking device or closure member 23 has an elongated slot 24 therein. The screw 21 is received in the slot 24:, whereby slidable and pivotal movement of the closure member 23 relative to the base'13 is permitted. The closure member T 23 has a portion attached to be received against the member 13. Spaced between the ends of the closure member 23 is'a curved raised portion 25.

3 of the drawings. The lug 28'prevents any 'wardly. When the locking pivotal movement of the closure member in one direction, and the lug 27 prevents any pivotal movement when the closure member or locking device is in the positionshownin Fig. 2. 'In orderto disengage the locking device, it is necessary tomove it vertically, upwardly until the portion 26 is alined with the lug 27. The lug 27 extendsforwardly a-certain distance, so as to permit the portion 26 of the locking device 23 to pass over it, when the locking device is moved updevice is. in its upper position, as is shown in dotted lines thelug 28.

"of Fig. 3, the lower end of the locking de-' ,vice may be swung to one side, the member 1 '26 passing over the lug27, until the upward part of the locking device 23 strikes against By then movingthe locking device in its inclined position, so that the portion which abuts the member 13 is placed against the lug 27, this will hold the closure member 23 from downward movement.

The member 15 may be lifted off the hook 17 by raising the member 15 upwardly and i at the same time moving thesash outwardly -a slight distance. The hook 17 is inclined so that there is' a tendency for the portion 19v of the member 15 to always be held inwardly against the member 13.

hook 17 inclined the member 15 may easily be disengaged therefrom and at the same time holds the portion 19 of the member 15 from any accidental displacement. When it is des red to move the locking device to op- -erative position,

that is to have the portion 26 engage the hook 17, the closure member is moved to position which will ermit the member 26 to pass over the'lug 2 and then by gravitythe locking device will fall into its proper; position.

1 form guides for the locking device.

The opening. 18 in themember l5 .is of first and 'a locking mounted on said first member adapted to prevent accidental displacementof said second member relative? to said first member, :and means 'for locking said lockingmeans By 'making the The lugs '27 nd" 28 suchsize as to permit the member 15 to be raised upwardly such a distance, so that the portion 19 will be above the hook 17 and then by a slight outward movement the. parts will be disengaged. The opening-18 also permits pivotal movement without interfering with the lower end of the closure device, when it is desired to swingthe sash outwardly. for any purpose such as dusting or cleaning the outside-window. a u

The notch or groove 19 is specially'adaptas is shown in Fig. 7, to receive the head 22 of the screw 21.: The offset portion 20 of the member 15, andthe offset'or. grooved portion 25 of the locking device are so arranged that when the device is nested, it will occupy a comparatively small amount of space, and

ed, whenthe device is nested for shipment,

so hold the device in such position, that it may readily be wrapped orpacked for shipment; v i 1 "Somechanges' may-be made in the construction and arrangement of the various parts of my improved device without de-" parting from the essential featuresand-pur-' poses of my invention, and it .isiny intentlon to cover by my claims any modifiedv forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalents 'which may be reasonably included within their scope.
