tremiti'es through: which rivets h. h; pass, and

pivot; the inner shell I thereto. The: inner E shell I), is, an open-ended: rectangular channel and; has v its) sides, If. rounded: atone end,

closed the plunger-bolt (1 will through which the aforesaid rivets pass. Within the bottom I) of this shell apertures 11 and i are provided for securing the same to the upper edge of the lower sash B, the apertures i being elongated, so that when fitting the shell I) to the sash in relation to the rack D on the opposite sash the same can be placed and located exact before driving the remaining screws to a seat. This shell to one side at the rear end is provided with a slot 1,.

into which the key-bolt k of the key-lock e is made to engage, the outer shell having a hole Z, through which a key :10 may be introduced to turn the bolt 7c in said lock. (See Figs. 1, 6, 9, 11, and 12.)

Within the inner shell the sash-locking mechanism is placed. This mechanism comprises a dog 0 and a plunger-bolt d. The dog 0 has at one end thereof two beveled jaws m, the bevel of the jaws being coincident with and adapted to engage the locking-bar D when in a working position, hereinafter set forth. The jaws m are of a thickness approximately the depth of the shells a and 1) minus the thickness of a cap-piece it. Toward the rear of the dog 0 its material is cut away and forms a groove p transverse thereof, its rearward extremity terminating in an upwardly-and rearwardly beveled lug or rib p. Transverse of this rib a hole g bisects the same, and within the main body portion of the dog 0 and alined therewith a groove 9 is formed. Within this groove the body 8 of the plunger-bolt d slides, and at its opposite end a hole is formed between the jaws m, through which the forward end of the plunger-bolt d works. This bolt is formed with a stem about which a coil-spring 1' is placed, the latter of which operates within the groove g between the shoulder s of the bolt and the opposite end of the groove, as shown. Near the rear extremity the bolt is beveled at d downward and rearward and terminates in a semicircular shank t, through which a longitudinal slot u is made for the reception of a retaining-pin v. The terminatintg shank t passes through the hole g of the r1 p.

Occupying a position within the shell a and extending crosswise thereof a tapering rib w is provided. This rib is so located that when the two shells a, and b are swung together, as shown in Fig. 6, the rib w will occupy a position between the bevel d of the bolt (1 and the beveled side of the rib p, a means whereby when the aforesaid shells are completely be forced outward and the dog 0, having the jaws m, inward, a means whereby said jaws will draw against and grip the bevel sides of the rack d and draw the window-sash together, while the plunger-bolt (1 will be forced within an aperture 9 thereof, preventing vertical movement of the window-sash. The bevel of the rib 'w is of such pitch-where it engages the bevel of the transverse rib 19 that but a slight inward movement is imparted to the dog 0, having the jaws m, when the casing a is closed over the casing b. The dog 0, having the sloping rib p, is made to fit snugly within the inner shell I), so as to slide freely therein, the cap member n being secured to the upper side of the dog by screws or other means, the shoulder portion 8 of this bolt passing through a hole 17, in the depending flange n of the cap-piece n, as shown in Fig. 7. At either side of the aws m and extending backward of the rivets h a portion of the metal is cut away and leaves shoulders w. The object of these shoulders is to prevent the dog 0 from sliding from the casing, the aforesaid shoulders abutting rivets h when in a normal position.

In the key-locking mechanism a right-angular flange-plate m is secured by rivets or other means to the forward inner and upper end of the outer shell a. A downwardly-depending flange of this plate is provided with a key-socket m and two 0 positely-alined slots 00*, through which gui e-pins 7c of the plunger-bolt 7c are adapted to work, a coilspring P, Fig. 8, being secured at one end to one end of the flange-plate 00 the opposite end of the spring engaging one of the guidepins k to actuate the plunger-bolt is. The plunger-bolt has a central hole is, provided with one vertical side 1c op osite the extremity having the bevel 7c. he vertical side of this hole is in close proximity to the alined key-socket m and the keyhole Z of the outer shell a, and when the bit 3 of the key so is turned, as in Fig. 12, the same causes the plunger-bolt 7c to disengage the inner shell I) and unlock the casing. In closing the shell a, to which the key-lock e is secured over the shell I), the bevel 7c of the key-bolt 1c strikes the u per edge of the shell I) and throws said bolt ackward, and when the shells are in a closed position, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 9, 11, and 12, the recoil of a spring k throws the bolt into a locked position with the inner shell I) by engaging a slot thereof and prevents the casing from unelosing until released by means of a key.

The 0 eration of my improved sash-lock will in t e main have been apparent from the foregoing description. The rack-b ar having been secured to the upper sash, as set forth, the shell 6, together with the lockingjaws m, is fitted to the sash B, the aforesaid jaws being placed astride of said bar D, whereby the shell I) is located preparatory to being screwed in place. The parts having been thus located, to secure a window in a position other than closed would be to unlock the key-lock e raise the shell (1, whereby the plunger-bolt d and the jaws m will retract from the rack D, thence elevate or lower a window the remaining distance, as may be desired, and again depress the shell a, wherel cated as to engage, one of the stood that t e plungenboltd is to beso=lov apertures 9 within the rackDi Having therefore described invent-ion,
