[M PROVEM ENT IN SASH-HOLDERS.

The Schedule referred. to In these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

I, JOHN H. Mouse, of Peoria, county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented an Improved Sash-Holder, of which the following'is a specification.

' My improvement consists in affixing in a hole bored int-he edge of a Window-sash a metallic cas'e cou-taining a hanging bolt, operated by a key passing through the sash, and'forcing the end of. the bolt into niches cut in the front stop for lower sash, and into p'arting Figure 1 is a perspective view of frame and sash. Figure 2 is an end elevation. 1 Figure3 is a plan of end elevation.

Figure 4 is elevation of sash-holder.

Figure 5 is section of same..

7 Figure 6 is section plan.

A, fig. 1, is the. window-frame.

B, the sash.

G, metallic case containing the bolt D, with its corrugated nose 0'.

.E, thumb-piece of key E, passing through the sash and bolt and center of metallic case 0, as seen in figs. 5 and 6. Y

Lug F on key E operates the bolt, as seen in fig. 4.

B B, front stop, and

m m m niches cut in front stop. (See fig.2.

To afiix the sash-holder to a window-sash, bore a hole in edge of window-sash, right-hand side, the size of metallic case 0, about one and one-quarter of an inch, and the depth of case 0, three-eighths of an inch. (See fig. 5.) From the center of this hole the remainder of the way through the sash, a hole the size of the body of key E, three-eighths of an inch.

Out a slot from front of sash through into large .hole, scven-eighths of an inch long and depth of hole, as seen at 00, fig. 2, to allow the corrugated nose t of bolt D to project. (See figs. 1, 2, and 4.)

' Now pass the key E into the small hole up to the thumb-piece E, with left hand holding-thumb-piece' E'to the front. (See fig. 1 Place the bolt D in large hole, with corrugated nose '5 in cut 0 o, and leg f on key E in slo't-h of bolt D. (See fig. 4.) Place the metal case 0 over the whole, with lug e on key E (see fig. 6) in position to enter slot d (see-fig. 4;) in metal case. v

Press the metal case 6 intothe hole in the sash until the lug e on key E has passed through slot at in metal case 0. Turn metal case 0 over to the left,

-b, a passing through case and bolt into the sash.

The lug f on key E, working in slot h of bolt D,

will operate the bolt, and lug e on bolt D will prevent the key E from being withdrawn from sash, To raise the sash, the window being closed, take hold of it with the lefthand, turn up the thumb-piece E with the right hand, raise the sash, letting go the thumb-piece E; and when the corrugated nose't' of bolt D comes opposite one of the niches in m m in front stop B B, the bolt will drop of its own weight, and nose '1? will enter niche m, and be held in that position.

If you wish to lower the sash, start it upward with the left hand, turn up the thumb-piece E with right hand; this will withdraw the corrugated nose 0'. from niche m, and the saslrmay be lowered.

When the sash is closed the thumb-piece E will turn down of its own weight, the nose/i will be projected in to niche m, thelower nichem being cut the full depthof corrugated nose '5, lug f on keyE will turn (position shown in fig. 4) down, and projection x on bolt D will come in contact with lngj' and prevent nose 4? from being forced back, thus locking the sash securely.

0' Min.

I claim as my inventionthe combination of the key'E with lug e and recessed face-plate, the key E passing through a recessed. and shouldered bolt working at right angles to the key, all as shown and described, for the purpose set forth.
