The pocket consists of a metal casing C, prefcra bly a sectionfot malleable tubing, mounted in an angular aperturein the sash, the aperture being bored on an angle as shovinwith its outer end at a distance from the edge of the sash and the anglebeing such as to intersect the grooved, as shown most clearly in Figure 2. The tube C has a perforation c in its upper side in line ivith the groove a in the sash audits inner end is cut so that a lip 10 extends out therefrcm on its short side which is bent over .on an angle parallel with the edge of the sash and thus practically closes the inner end of. the pocket and also protects the cord fronifrictional contact with the frame and.

the sash. The cap 11 is .then adjusted by inserting the upper endoi' lip 12 in the slot 13 and inserting screw 16 in position which secures said cap flush with the surface of the sash, Which is thus )hung in position and ready for operation, all as Will be readily understood;
