SHUTTER-OPERATING DEVICE.
Application filed June 24,
This invention relates to devices by which outside window shutters can be operated. from within the windows. Various devices have been designed heretofore for this purpose, but have not given general satisfaction because of the cumbrous and unsightly character of the mechanical devices provided, because of the difliculty of the operation or because of the failure to make adequate provision for retaining the shutters in adjusted position, or for other reasons. The object of the present invention is to provide an improved device for the stated purpose, which shall be simple and direct in action, shall have but little of the mechanism exposed to view, and shall make it possible'readily to secure the shutters in adjusted position. In accordance with. the invention, a flexible shaft is arranged in a suitable casing which passes through the house wall terminating exteriorly of the window, substantially in line with the hinge axis of the shutter and engaged therewith and having at its other end an operating handle and a clamping device.
The invention will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawing in which it is illustrated as embodied in a convenient and practical form and in which:
Figure 1 is a top View, partly in horizontal section, showing the improved device as applied to a window frame.
Figure 2 is a view of the same in vertical section on the plane indicated by the broken line 22 of Figure l.
Figure 3 is a View partly in side elevation and partly in section of the device removed from the building wall.
Figure 4 is a detail View in sectional eles vation showing a portion of the flexible chain, its casing, and operating and clamping devices, the operating handle being partly broken off to save space, the scale of this figure being larger than that of the preceding figures.
Figure 5 is a detail view in horizontal section on the plane indicated by the broken line 5-5 of Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a detail View in sectional elevation showing the outer end of the flexible shaft and easing with the cap.
Built into the house wall, with one end projected through and slightly above the inside sill as of the window and with the other end projected through and slightly f has its axis of rotation 1926. Serial No. 118,168.
above the outer sill -b,'si 1bst antially in line at that point with the hinge axis of the shutter to be operated, is a casing 0, suitably curved on a proper radius. Within the cas struction, the outer end of the shaft being engaged through a spindle e with-a cap f which rests, preferably through an .inter-' posed liner f, on the head 0 formed at the corresponding end of the casing 0. The cap substantially aligned with the hinge axis of the shutter, indicated at g, which rests upon and is engaged by the cap 7 so that the shutter will be caused to swing on its hinge axis by the rotation of the cap f, with the shaft 6!. At its other end the chain d is engaged with a block it and the corresponding end 0 of the casing c is formed, as by being grooved annularly, as shown at 0 for engagement by a sectional clamping ring 2'. A spindle 7:, carrying a suitable handle it, passes through the sectioni and the block it and is threaded into the clamping ring section a", as shown at k in Figures 3, 4 and 5, so that by rotation of the spindle on its own axis the sections 2', a" of the clamping ring can be drawn tightly against the corresponding end 0 of the casing 0 and thereby hold the clamping ring, the block and the chain d from rotation. To .cover the clamping devices and to close the end of the casing 0, there is provided a rotatable hood Z which may rest on a base Z secured to the window sill and may have the spindle 70 passed through it.
Itwill be understood that when the spindle is has been rotated on its axis to release the clamp from the casing 0, the block 2 and the shaft d can then be rotated by movement of the handle about the axis of the cars ing so that the cap 7, at the other end of the casing and shaft can be rotated, swinging the shutter with it. The shutter can then be secured in any desired position of adjustment by rotating the handle on its own axis to tighten the sectional clamping ring about the inner end of the casing c.
It will be understood that details of arrangement and construction may be varied to suit different conditions of use.
I claim as my invention:
1. In a shutter operating device, the combination of a casing, curved in a verticalplane and having one end substantially in line with the hinge axis ofthe shutter, a flexible shaft disposed within the casing and was . W. ing 0 s a flexible shaft {5 of su table conadapted to engage the shutter at one end in bination of a casing, curved in a vertical planeand having one end substantially in line with the hinge axis of the shutter, a flexible shaft disposed within the casing and adapted to engage the shutter at one end in line with the hinge axis, a clamping ring in operative relation with the other end of the casing and the other end of the flexible shaft, and means to clamp the clamping ring about the end of the casing and to rotate the clamping ring and shaft when the clamping ring is released.
8. In a shutter operating device, the combination of a casing, a flexible shaft disposed within the casing and adapted to engage the shutter at one end in line with the hinge axis, a sectional clamping ring adapted to engage the other end of the casing, and a handle spindle operatively engaged with the other end of the shaft and having a threaded engagement with one section of the clamping ring.
This sgcifieation signed this 17 day of 30 June A. 1926.
