PU LLEY-CASING FOR WINDOW-FRAMES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 527,111, dated October 9, 1894.

Application filed January 27, 1 8 94.

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, JAMES H. FooTE, a citizen of -the United States, residing at Cincinnati, Hamilton county, State of Ohio, have iuvented certain newand useful Improvements in Pulley-Casings -for Window-Frames, of which the following is a specification, refer# ence being had to the accompanying drawings.

The object and nature of my invention Will be fully apparent from the description and claim hereinafter contained.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1, is a front elevation, partially sectioned, of the top portion of a window-frarne and sash with myimproved pulley-casing in an operative position. Fig. 2, is an enlarged side elevation of the pulley-easing shown iu Fig. l, detached from the window-frame, and Fig. 3, is a top view of Fig. 2. Figsmt and 5 are side and top views, respectively, of a slight modiication of my improved pulley-casing. Fig. 6, is an enlarged transverse section through one side of a window-frame provided with my invention, and illustrating one mode of a ttaching it to said frame'. Fig. 7, is a side elevation of a pulley-casing embodying my in vention with the pulley removed, and Fig. 8, is a vertical section on dotted line 8, 8, of Fig. 7.

My invention consists of a pulley-casing, A, adapted to tit snugly within the usual mortise formed in the front casing D of the window-frame, said casing `havinga rearward extension, a, which latter is of sufficient length to reach through the open space or chamber formed in said frame and become attached to the rear casing E of said frame, substantially as shown.

The pulley, B, is suitably mounted within the casing, A, which latter is preferably formed from one integral piece of Sheetfmetal; the metal being previously cut away to form the aforesaid extensions, a, as shown; but, I donot oonne myself to this-specific form or construction of pulley-casing, as the same might be formed of two-pieces suitably connected, each piece having a rearward extension capable of being driven into the rear easing of the frame.

Serial No. 498.174. (No model.)

The pivot center of the'pulley, being lo Y cated inward from a line vertical with the front casing of the frame, will tend to retain said casing securely to place, as the'weight (not shown) on the sash-cord, b, will have a tendency to pull v.said pulley-casing inward; but, if additional security is desired, the said casing may have one or more lips or projections, CLS, cut or formed therein, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, to engage with the front casing, D, of the window-frame.

The tangs a2 may be bent or twisted to any desired angle, and, if desired, said tangs may be .barbed or otherwise roughened to assist in securely retaining the pulley-casing to place.

When constructed as shown, my improved pulley-casing is put to place by passing the rearward extensions a through the usual mortise formed in the front casing of the Window frame,the casing A being adapted to tit snugly within said mortise; and,while said casing is being driven to place within its mor- -tise, the tangs on the rearward extensions a will enter the rear portion E of the frame, as

shown. The advantages of my invention are apparent, being simple of construction, cheap of manufacture and reliable i'n operation. The rear extensions a entering or being afxed to the rear portion of the window-frame, afford two rigid bearings and connections for the pulley-casing, which latter cannot be readily displaced or loosened byreason of the sashcord weight coming into contact therewith.

My improved pulley-casing dispenses with the use of all screws, and is readily and quickly secured to place within the windowfralne as hereinbefore specied.

I am aware that pulley-casings have been formed with a rear shank which is adapted to fit Within an aperture in the rear of the frame; but, in this construction said aperture must be rst formed with a boring-tool before the casing can be put to place, which opera- 5 tion is obviated in the use of my improved pulley-casing. t What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A pui1ey-easing consisting of the main body portion having the rearward side exten- 1o sions a, each of which extensions terminates in a sharpened point capable of being driven into the solid Wood of the frame, for the purposes set forth.
