STORM-SASH FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 790,842, dated May 23, 1905. Application filed April 4, 1904. Serial No. 201,564.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK J ANECEK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Storm-Sash Fastening, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in sash-fasteners in which a portion of the fastener is secured to the sash and a cooperating portion is secured to the frame; and the objects of my improvement are, first, to provide a fastening which is permanently secured in position; second, to facilitate the clamping of the sash in position; third, to afford a strong and durable construction, and other objects which will become apparent from the description to follow. I attain these objects by the construction shown in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure 1 is an elevation of a sash secured in a frame by fasteners embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of one of the fasteners. Figs. 3 and 4 are end views of the two cooperating parts of a fastener. Fig. 5 is a plan section on 5 5 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 6 is a plan section 011 6 6 of Fig. 2.

Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings, 10 is the frame.

11 is the sash.

12 .is the recess in the frame for the reception of the sash.

The fastener may be considered as consist ing of a male member 13, secured to the frame 10, and a female member 14, secured to the sash. The male member 13 consists of a pin rigidly secured to a plate 16 in any desired manner, as by riveting. The free end of the pin 15 may be enlarged slightly to form a head. The plate 16 is provided with a plurality of holes for the reception of screws, by means of which it is secured to the frame. The female member 14 consists of a rotatable member'17, mounted in a bearing 18, which is loosely secured in a plate 19. The bearing 18 is preferably secured to the plate 19 by having its stem extended through the plate and through a washer back of said plate,where it is riveted or otherwise secured, so as to form a swivel-joint. The plate 19 is provided with a plurality of holes for the reception of screws, by means of which it is secured to the sash. The rotatable member 17 is preferably made of the cylindrical portion 20 and the cap or sleeve 21, the two being secured together by a pin or rivet passing through both. The bearing 18 is confined between an offset on the portion 20 and the end of the cap 21. The exposed end of the portion 20 is provided with a radial slot 22, the innermost end of said slot being some what eccentric to the axis of rotation. The slot 22 is designed to receive the pin 15 of the male member. The cap 21 and the part 20 are provided with a perforation 23 for the reception of a bar or Wire nail for the purpose of rotating the member 17 in the bearing 18.

In operation when it is desired to secure a storm-sash into a window-frame all the female members 14 are placed into such position that the slots 22 are in a osition to receive the pins 15 of the ma e members 13 when the sash is placed into the frame. The sash is then placed in the frame, the slots 22 passing over the pins 15, the several cooperating members of the fasteners having previously been secured to the sash and frame in proper positions to e'fiect this cooperation, and. finally each rotatable portion of the female members 22 is given one-half rotation by placing a bar or any suitable instrument into the perforations 23. This pulls the sash tightly against the frame and looks it in position.

It will be noted that by use of this fastener a stormsash can be properly and securely fastened in a window-frame from the interior of a building, thus avoiding the necessity of erecting a ladder or scaffold on the exterior of the building, as is often done at present.

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

1. In a sash-fastener, one member secured to the frame comprising an extending pin one member secured to the sash comprising a part arranged to rotate in a swiveled collar provided with a radial slot to receive said pin.

In a sash-fastener, an extending pin se- 10o cured to the frame; a block arranged to M volve in a bearing which is pivotally secured to the sash; said block rovided with a slot in one end to receive sald pin and means for revolving said block.

3. In a sash fastener, a plate provided with an extending pin secured to the frame; a collar or bearing pivotally secured to a plate rigidly secured to the sash; a cylinder closed at one end and provided with an exterior annular shoulder loosely fitted into said collar or bearing; a slot in the closed end of said cylinder to receive said pin; a collar fitted and name to this specification, in the presence of 20 two subscribing Witnesses, this 2d day of April 1904, at Chicago, Illinois.
