SHUTTER-FASTENER- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 771,078, dated September 27, 1904.
Application filed July 18, 1902. Serial No. 116,097. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ABRAHAM B. LANDIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waynesboro, in the county of Franklin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shutter- Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my said invention is to provide a shutter-fastener which will be comparatively inexpensive to manufacture and attach, being made from castings without any machine-work whatever, and one which will not interfere with the'use of an outside windowscreen, but will leave the window-sill entirely free and unobstructed, all as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof, and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts, Figure l is a face or plan view of a part embodying the keeper mounted in the outer edge of the upper window-sill; Fig. 2, a similar view of the part embodying the catch mounted in the lower cross-bar of the shutter-frame; Fig. 3, a transverse section through the lower portion of a window-frame and shutter, said shutter being shown in closed position and fastened with my improved fastener, which is also shown in transverse section as on the dotted line 3 3 in Fig. 2; Fig. 4, a view similar to a portion of Fig. 3, showing a modified form; Figs. 5 and 6. views illustrating other modifications.
In said drawings the portions marked A represent the frame or housing of the keeper, B the frame or housing in which the catch is mounted, and C said catch.
The window-frame shown is of an ordinary construction, consisting of the lower sill 1, the second or upper sill 2, the ledge 3, and the side frame, having ways at and 5 for the upper and lower window-sash, respectively.
. A screen 6 of ordinary construction is shown as mounted upon the outside with its lower edge resting upon the upper surface of the second sill 2. The shutter 7 is also of the ordinary or any desired form and construction, being preferably hinged to the side of the window-frame and adapted to close snugly against the outside thereof with its lower portion against the outside edge of the second sill 2.
The housing A is a casting of substantially casting A, and wood-screws a inserted in the i sill alongside said casting with their heads engaging said notches, secure said casting in place. The heads of said screws are countersunk to be flush with the face of the casting. An opening a is left beneath the keeper a to prevent the accumulation of any dirt or water within said casting.
The frame or housing B is a casting of the form shown in the drawings, being adapted to be inserted in an aperture in the lower bar of the shutter frame formed boring two holes of different sizes so that the adjacent edges cut into each other. The upper portion is of suflicient width to permit the insertion of the fingers beneath the front plate or flange 6, which forms a pull by which the shutter may be closed from the inside. The lower portion of the frame is provided with notches b in its rear edges at points opposite each other to receive the trunnions of the pivoted catch. A ledge 5 is formed across the lower edge of the opening, upon which said catch will be supported in operative position. A perforation Z2 is formed in the lower edge of the shutter, which registers with an opening in the lower side of casting B, through which its interior may be drained of water, dirt, or
other foreign. substances. Said casting B is secured in place by wood-screws b inserted in the face of said shutter alongside said casting, their heads engaging with suitable countersunk notches formed therein. A sheetmetal plate Z2 is mounted in the bottom of the lower part of the aperture in the shutter, be-
ing held therein by the casting B and serving to prevent the end of the catch or trunnions from wearing into the shutter.
The catch G is of the form shown most clearly in Fig. 3, consisting of a horizontally-extending bar having transverse trunnions 0 extending out each way from its rear end, as shown at the right in Fig. 2, which trunnions are mounted in the notches b in the rear edges of the casting B. On its front end is formed a hook c, with a slightly-tapered face adapted to engage with the rear face of keeper (1. and with a tapered front corner which is adapted to ride easily over the rounded front corner of said keeper. A vertical lever C extends upwardly from said horizontal bar at a point substantially in line with the front face of casting B, serving as a lever by which said catch may be lifted to disengage it from the keeper. On the lower side of said horizontal bar is formed a slight projection, as shown, adapted to rest upon the top of ledge b and support said bar at a proper elevation, so that its front end will strike and ride over keeper (0 to automatically engage therewith when the shutter is closed.
In use the keeper is mounted in front of the sill 2 and the catch in the face of the lower bar of the shutter 7 by providing the apertures necessary with ordinary bits. The holding-screws are driven into place with an ordinary screw-driver, and the parts may be thus quickly and cheaply mounted in position. By closing the shutter the catch automatically engages with keeper (0 and locks it in closed position and all the parts are concealed and in no way interfere with the screen or the upper surface of the sill. By lifting the screen and pressing upon the upper end of the lever O with the thumb or finger the catch is readily disengaged, when the shutter may be pushed open.
While I prefer the form of keeper shown in the principal views, Ishow in Fig. 4 a modified form consisting of a plate I), having a keeper d secured on top of the sill by a screw d which may be used, if preferred. A notch a in the lower edge of the screen receives the outer end of the catch. In Figs. 5 and 6 I have also illustrated a modification in the form of housing B whereby it is made circular and adapted to be inserted in an aperture formed by the single bore of a bit or anger of appropriate size. In Figs. 5 and 6 I illustrate another modification in the form .of the housing for the pivoted catch which is adapted to be inserted in a single round aperture formed with a bit. Other obvious modifications in the details of construction may be adopted without departing from my invention, as will be readily understood.
Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A slmtter-fastener comprising a keeper consisting of a cylindrical casting having asuit- V able catch and mounted in acircular aperture in the outer edge of the window-sill with its face flush therewith, another cylindrical housing mounted in a circular aperture in the front of the shutter-frame with its face flush therewith, a catch consisting of a horizontal bar having transversely-extending trunnions on its rear end journaled in suitable bearings in said housing, a hook on its outer end, and an operating-lever extending upwardly from the top edge of said bar at a point just within said housing, substantially as set forth.
2. A shutter-fastener comprising a keeper consisting of a hollow casting formed with a cross-bar with an engaging edge, said casting being mounted in an aperture in the outer edge of the window-sill, a housing mounted in an aperture in the shutter-frame with its front face flush with the face of said shutter and having notches in the opposite sides of its rear edge for bearings, and a catch consisting of a horizontal bar with transverselyextending trunnions journaled in said bearings having a catch on its outer end adapted to engage with the cross-bar of the keeper and formed with an operating-lever extending upwardly from the top edge of said horizontal bar, the outer face of said lever being flush with the outer face of said housing, substantially as set forth.
3. A shutter-fastener, comprising a housin g carrying a keeper mounted in the windowsill, and a housing carrying a pivoted catch mounted in the shutter, said housings being provided with openings from their lower sides leading to the outside through which they may be drained, substantially as set forth.
I. A shutter-fastener comprising a keeper inserted in the outer edge of the window-sill, a housing mounted in an aperture in the shutter-frame with its front face flush with the face of the shutter, said housing being formed with an enlarged upper portion having a downwardly-extending flange to serve as a pull, and provided in its rear edges with notches, and a catch provided with transversely-extending trunnions journaled in said notches and having a vertical operating-lever extending up from its top edge at a point within said housing, substantially as set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal at Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, this 11th day of July, A. D. 1902.
ABRAHAM B. LANDIS.
