SHUTTER-WORKER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 281,630, dated July 17, 1883,
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY J. HUNsroKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Laurelton, in the county of Union and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements-in Shutter-Operating Devices, of which the following is a speciiication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
lFigure l is an elevation from the inside of a window, showing the method of applying' thereto my invention. Fig. 2 is a bottomvew of one of the blinds. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the lever which opens the shutter. Fig. 4 is a vertical section on the line yy, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a section of a part of the bottom of the blind, the end of the operating-lever being shown in elevation.
In the drawings, A represents the upper and A the lower sash of a window, these being of any of the ordinary or of any preferred style, and they can be balanced in their ways in any preferred manner. y They are shown as being mounted in a casing having the upper part, B, the sides C G, and the sill D D.
E E represent the blinds, which also, so far as their general structure, arrangement, and
support are concerned, may be of any of the commonly-used styles.
rIhe opening of the blinds can be effected from the inside without the necessity of opening either of the sashes. L represents a peculiarly-shaped lever, which is pivoted below the window-sill and which can be reached from the inside of the window, none of the parts of it lying above the upper face of the inner part of the sill. The shutter and the lever are connected at the outer end of the latter in a way differing from those heretofore used.
Zl is a slot or groove n the lower surface of the shutter, and Z is a pin attached to the lever, it fitting in said groove or slot. The lever has a part, Z3, adapted to lie beneath the shutter, and a part, Z4, adapted to lie close against the casing.
L2 represents a handle, either permanently or detachably connected to the part L. A strong pivot for the lever is provided by means of a rock-shaft or pintle, L', which also canbe permanently or detachablyj oined to the part L.
M represents a chamber formed below the v Application-filed February 2l, 1883. (N o model.)
window-sill and upon the inside of the window, and in this chamber the pivot part L and the handle part L2 of the lever are mounted, the shaft or pintle L being long, to avoid disarrangement or breakage, and having its upper end pivoted in the part D of the sill, and in the plate or bar O at the bottom of the chamber N.
VThe sill is formed in two parts, D D', the lower of which is stationary, the upper being removable. The under side of the upper part is provided with a chamber or channel, cZ, eX-
tending from the outer edge of said part D,
part way in. If the upper part, D, be removed, the lever L can be readily put in place and fastened to the projecting end Zs of the shaft and handle portion L L2; or it can be removed when it is desired to do so for repairs or other reasons. When the parts are related as I have shown, they will all be entirely concealed when the shutters are closed, both from the inside and the outside, the parts Z3 and Z4 of the lever at that time lying in the chamber or channel (Z, and the parts L L2 lying in the chamber N. Vhen the shutter is open, the opening devices are then also practically concealed, the part Z3 of the lever lying beneath the shutter, and the part Z* lying close to the casing.
Z6 represents a facing-piece applied to the edge of the bottom surface of the shutter. It forms a tight joint between the said bottom surface and the sill when the shutter is closed, so 'as to prevent either the entrance of air or water, and also prevent any tampering with the devices inside. The bent lever is so shaped that it docs not interfere withthis facing-piece, the part Z3 of the lever lying entirely outside thereof when the shutter is open and entirely inside thereof whenthe shutter is closed. This facing-piece Z6 may be either metallic, and castwith the facing-piece ZT, as shown in Fig. 2, or it may be formed as a tongue of the wood of the shutter itself, as shown in Fig. 5.
The devices which I have described' can be made to conform to houses as they are ordinarily constructed, not requiring any serious modification of the windows as now commonly made, and there is no disfiguring of the sills by parts projecting above the same.
p represents adoor or closing device, which can be hinged, as shown in Figs. l and 4, and can be pivotcd with a lock or catch at t; or it can be supported and fastened in any other preferred way.
It will be seen that when a shutter is closed the pin lis situated on the vertical line which is farthest from the hinges, and that therefore it exerts the greatest available power in holding the shutter closed. Again, it will be seen that when the lever and shutter are related in the manner shown, the pin is so far from the hinging-line when the shutter is open that a very strong leverage is available, it being applied on the lines indicated by the arrow lin Fig. 2. In this respect the device is much superior to those heretofore used, in which the power is applied near the hinging-line of the shutter.
I do not herein claim, broadly, the chamber formed below the sill and 011 the inside of the apartment; but one of the parts of the present invention consists in an advantageous relation existing between the levers L and this chamber, and the features incident to this part of the invention are those that are herein claimed.
Vhat I claim isl. The combination, with the outside shutter provided with a slot in its bottom surface, of the lever, which has a pin to engage with said slot, and which is arranged, substantially as set forth, to be operated from the inside of the window.
2. The combination of the outside shutter having a slot in its bottom surface, the sill having a rabbet or chamber on its under surface, and an aperture extending to the inside of the Window, the bent lever having a pin which engages with said slot in the shutter, arm Z, which lies beneath the shutter when it is open, the arm Z, which lies close to the casing when the shutter is open, and the arm LAZ upon the inside of the window, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination of the lower stationary sill, the bearing or supporting plate O below the sill,` the outside shutter, the bent lever loosely connected with the shutter, and the pivot or shaft L', rigidly connected to said lever, and having one end mounted in the sill and the other end in the lower supporting plate, O, substantially as set forth.
4. The combination of the shutter provided with a slot in its bottom surface, and with the outside facing-piece, Z, and the lever provided with a pin to engage with sai d slot, and mounted, substantially as set forth, to have the arm l lie entirely within the facing-piece and be protected thereby, substantially as set forth.
5. The combination of the chamber N on the inside below the sill, the outside shutters, the levers which enga-ge with the shutters, the devices mounted in said chambers on the inside for operating-the levers, and the door which closes said chamber and conceals the lever-operating devices, substantially as set forth.
In testilnony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
HENRY J. HUNSICKER.
