WINDOW ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,636, dated May 18, 189'?.

Application filed February 4, 1897. Serial No. 621,948. (No model.)

.To @ZZ whom t may concern.:

Be it known that I, JOHN F. FULLAGAR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kearney, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in window attachments; and the object of the same is to provide a guard which may be quickly and readily attached or detached from the window-frame for the purpose of preventing articles from fallinginto the street which may be positioned in the window or prevent articles being thrown out the window by children.

The invention consists in the novel features of construction hereinafter fully described, claimed, and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my invention attached to the window, and Fig. 2 is a detached perspective view of the same.

The invention consists of a continuous piece of metal formed into a series of convolutions 1 and having its ends turned at right angles and terminating in the hooks 2.

As illustrated, the last of the series of convolutions 3 on each end of the device does not extend the same length as' the other convolutions, so that when the device is positioned as illustrated in Fig. 1 the convolutions 1 rest upon the window-sill, While the convolutions 3 rest upon the frame of the window.

The device is attached to the windowr by hooking the hooks over the screws 4. in the sides of the window-frame and swinging the device downward until it rests upon the sill,

as illustrated. When it is desired to detach the guard, the front portion of the same is raised and the hooks are detached from the screws, as will be readily understood.

As illustrated in Fig. 2, the extremities of the wire forming the last convolutions are bent at right angles to form the backwardlyextending arms 5, which terminate in the hooks, as before stated.

It will be understood from the above description that I have produced an attachment for windows which may be quickly attached or detached and which, when in position, effectually prevents the falling out the window of any article which may be positioned in the same, and also serves to prevent the passage of articles out of the window which may be thrown therefrom by children. As will be understood, this guard may be made of any size, so as to nearly close the front of the window, and thus prevent the falling of children from the windows.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A guard for windows consisting of a single piece of metal formed into a series of convolutions, the end convolutions terminating short of the other convolutions, the extremities of the end convolutions being bent at right angles and extending rearward, and a means for detachably securing the guard to the window, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whercof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN F. FULLAGAR.
