- INVENTOR wzzzmmfawwm y BY I l /fvW UNITED STATES .Meer "mea v wrnnna'vrV F.woL`nnsEN, or RAYMOND, WASHING-TON;

' sAsH FASTENER.

-To all ivtomtt may concern(4 Be itknown that. LIVILLIAM F. I/VOLLE-V SEN, a 4citizen of the UnitedStates of Amer.- ica, and resident of the city of Raymond, in the county of Pacific and Stat-'e ofgIVash- A ington, have'invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash Fasteners, of

Y which the following is a'speciication.

My invention relates to sash fasteners andV is particularlyadapted for securing the two sashes of 'a window in fixed relativeposition when either sash is partially opened.

' An object of my invention is to provide 'means which will hold two sashes relatively fixed andrwhichmay be quickly placed in operative position.

It is particularly van object of my inventon to provide means for holding a sash lock in inoperative position against its normal tendency to remain in operativeY posiquickly and easily;

tion, these means being operated.

My invention comprises those novel parts and combinations thereof which are Shown in the accompanying drawings, described in the specification and particularly defined by the claimsterminating the same.

In the accompanying drawings I have shown my invention in the form which is now preferred by me.

Figure 1. is an elevation of two sashes'- i 1 isfformed with l'a pair of upstanding pivot ears. Pivotally mounted within the standard, at 10, isa securing cam 2. This is eccentrically-.pivoted in the standard 1 and kengages the upper sash B by one edge.' This edge may have a corrugatedfacing, as

shown at 20 which may be .of rubber orV other suitable material, and which engages and grips the Sash B. v

A spring, as shown at 3, Vmay be coiledl about the pivot pin 10, and engages both the standard land'the cam 2, to hold the kcorrugated surface 20 normally against the sash B. In this position a force, acting to position or held in inoperative 'specification of Lettersratent. Patented; Apr. 11, 19,212. Y Atpncaiqn med 'ambata-1920. Yserial' No.aiazii.

raisethe sash A, is resisted the grip of the surface 20 upon the sash Bv.V Similarly, i

any attempt to lower thefsash B` is resisted' ofthe pin and the sleeve 11 formed in the I 4Q engageable therein. I 'prefer that this pin be normallyV held. out of engagement with the socket 21Y and khence provide aV 7.o spring 41 positioned between the head `2i standard 1, inV whichthepin slides. The

end 40 is enlarged and prevents withdrawal of the pin in this direction.

ininoperativr position it is thrown back into the vposition shown in Figure 3- and the 40 engages within the socket 21. 7

It is held in this position by the frictional` v v Y g `7,5 w Whenever itis desiredto hold'myj device v engagement of the end 40 within-the socket 21, caused by thetendency of the spring?) to return the cam to its normal operativeposi-A pin 4, this may be done'by withdrawing its end 40 from the. socket 21, whenthe spring 41 will further retract the .pin and will.

hold itin inoperative position.` It can be seen that both the locking and unlocking of the cam by the pin 4 may be quickly and easily accomplished Vby the use of myconstruction as described. Furthermore., lthe Y pin may not bey withdrawn from the standf '85 l i tion; lVhenever itis desired to release the ard 1 and hence isnever misplaced whenit is desired for use. .Y

What I claim as my inventionis:

1. In a sash fastener, in combinatioma standard adapted to be secured. upon the top of the lower sash, a campivotally mounted in said standardgand adapted to engage the v upper: sash, means secured within Vsaid standard for .securing said cam in inoper'.

ative positiomand means automatically 'operative to hold said cam-securing meansnor- 'K mally in inoperative. positiomsald cam and the cam-securing means .being frictionally i i engageable. l

2. In a sash fastener, 1n combination, a

'rio-v standard adapted to be secured upon the Y. top ofthe vlower sash, 'af cam pivotally .n Y

mounted in said standard and adapted to engage the upper sash, means normally holding said cam in sash-engaging position, means secured Within said standard Jfor securing said cam in inoperative position, and means automatically operative tofliold said cam-securing means normally in inoperative position, said cam and the camsecuring means being frictionally engageable.

3. In a sash fastener', in combination, a standard adapted to be secured upon the top of the lower sash, a cam pivotally mounted in said standard and adapted to engage the upper sash, said cam having a socket in a side face, a pin slidably mounted in said standard for movementJ towards and from said cam, and engageable Within said socket, and a spring engaging said pin and operable to hold the same normally in inoperative position, the pin being engageable frictionally Yin said socket in opposition to said spring.

4. In a sash fastener, in combination, a standard adapted to be secured upon the top of the lower sash, a cam pivotally mounted in said standard and adapted to engage the upper sash, said cam having a socket in a side face, a pin slidably mounted in said standard for movement towards and from said cam, and engageable Within said socket, a spring,r engaging said pin and op-` erable to hold the same normally in inoperative position, the pin being engageable frictionally in said socket in opposition to said spring, and heads on both ends oi said pin to prevent removal thereof.

Sifned at Raymond, Pacific County, `Washington, this 16th dav of October, 1920.
