2. A sash support and fastener comprising a sash having a support-groove and an elongated lateral socket bored in the body of the sash at the inner side of the support-groove, and a support having the sash end thereof bent laterally to the body portion thereof and provided with an elongated plain metallic stiilcning-piece compressed upon the sash end whereby it is inserted detachably in the elongated lateral socket and prevented from being withdrawn therefrom by the vertical pull of the support; substantially as described.

3. A sash support and fastener' comprising a sash having a cord-groove and an elongated lateral socket bored in the body of the sash at the inner side of the cord-groove and a cord having the sash end thereof bent laterally to the body portion thereof and provided with an elongated plain cylindrical metallic stiffening-sleeve compressed upon the sash end having inturned tongues or points by which the sash end is gripped, and whereby the end is inserted detachably in the elongated lateral socket, and prevented from being withdrawn therefrom bythe vertical pull of the cord; substantially as described.

4. A sash support and fastener comprising a sash having a support-groove and an elongated lateral socket bored slightly upwardly in the body of the sash at the inner side of the support-groove, and a support having the sash end thereof bent laterally to the body portion thereof and provided with an elongated plain metallic stiifeningpiece conipressed upon the sash end whereby it is inserted detachably in the elongated lateral socket and prevented from being withdrawn therefrom by the vertical pull of the support; substantially as described.
