SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,170, dated December 8, 1885.

A Application filed May 25, 1885. Serial No. 166,617. (No model.)

Y. .To all whom it may concern: Y

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM S'roLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and ;y State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Fasteners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the l, invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective of fastener on sashes with lever thrown back. Fig. 2 is a "x-vertical section of fastener. Fig. 3 is aver- .tical section of box. Fig. 4 is a perspective Fig. 5 is an 'inverted plan of botptom of box. My invention has for its object to provide fa simple and comparatively inexpensive form4 of sash-fastener so constructed that while it may be readily secured and released from the `inside of a window any attempt from the toutside to raise the lower sash or to lower the y upper sash will only tend to increase the se- .5""curity of the fastening.

My invention consists of a fastener composed of three pieces-viz., a box or bracket adapted and designed to be fastened t0 the lower sash, a locking-lever fulcrumed in said 3o bracket, and a plate adapted and designed to be fastened to the upper sash and carrying a segmental or curved stud under which the outer end of the locking-lever fits, as herein- 4after fully set forth.

My invention further consists in the combination,with the lever,of a locking-pin, substantiallyas hereinafter set forth.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,

A` designates a box or bracket having a boto tom a sides c' c and end a2 said bracket 4 7 7 I 7 E represents a plate havingholes for screws PATENT OFFICE.

The lever may now be freely e e, by which it is fastened to the upper sash, F. Said plate has a standard, G, wh1ch 1s segmental in form, or, at least, concave on its inner side or side adjacent to bracket A.

In operation the end d2 of lever D passes n by a swinging motion under standard G, just touching the concave side of latter to prevent rattling of the sashes, and rests on the upper edge of end a". While in this posltlon 1f any attempt be made to raise the lower sash or lower the upper sash the lever wedges or becomesbound between the side a of bracket A and standard G and resists the attempt. The fastening can only be released by throwing back the lever or causing it to rock backwardly on its trunnions. To facilitate movement of the lever, it may have r a button or ring.

- To lock the lever so that it cannotube raised by a wire orv other device insertedjbetween the meeting-rails of the sashes, a hole, d, is formed in it receiving apin, I. This pin may be of such construction that it` can be wholly withdrawn, being secured from losslby an attaching-chain; but I prefer to construct it in the form of a sliding staple or bent wire,whose short leg, i, enters the opening d4, its long leg, i, fitting in a groove, H, which terminates in an enlarged recess, h, in the bottom of bracket A, that receives a head, i2, on the inner end will prevent the pin from being withdrawn any farther than is necessary to allow the'end of leg t' to clear lever D. The leverW-D may have a notch, d5, for the passage of leg What I claim as Iny invention is as follows:

1. A sash-fastener composed of bracket A, lever D, and plate E, havingl segmental or concave-sided standard G, said lever, when the fastening is effected, fitting beneath the standard, substantiallyjas shown and described.

2. Ina sash-fastener comprising a bracket, a lever, and a standard, the bracket A, having aslot, C, and` recesses ai, in combination with lever D, having trunnions d d, substantially as shown and described.

3. In a sash-fastener, the combination,with oscillating lever D, fulcrumed in bracket A, of locking-pin I, fitting in an opening in said lever, snbstantiallylas described.

4. In avsashfastener, the'oombinabiomwith havel hereunto set my; hand thisflllthA day of bracket A, having groove Hand. recess h,and May,- 1885. l oscillating lever D, fulcrnnied therein and having opening d, of looking pin or staple I, 5 having a head, 2, on one of its legs, i', sub- Witnesses:

stantially'as shown and described. v LIsLESToKEs,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I I M'. D. CONNOLLY.'
