SASH-FASTENING.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 60,136, dated September 26, 1865.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, OLIVER S. JUDD, ofNew Britain, county of Hartford, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Fasteners; and I do hereby declare that the same is described and represented in the following specification and drawings; and to enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe its 'construction by referring to the dra-wings, in which the saine letters indicate like parts in euch Iot' the figures.I y

The sash-fastening device to which I apply my improvement consists in a hasp attached to the upper sash by a hinge, so as'to allow the liasp to he turned up out ot' the way of the lower sash when n ot`in use, and ashoulder on said hinge portion so formed as to prevent its being turned over or around so as to hit the glass. The hasp hasacircularaperture through its upper end, with a slot running down from the aperture, so that when the hasp-is turned down upon the lower sash a vertical tnrn-but ton upon the lower sash enters and passes through the slot, and the circular aperture is .iilled by the shank of the turn-button. Upon turning this button the hasp is secured and the sashes drawn closely'toget-her and fastened. The shank ofthe button is eccentric to the axis, around which it rotates, presenting a cam on the same side with the button. When the button is turned the sashes are drawn firmly together, and no instrument can be inserted between them to disen gage the fastenings.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top View. Fig. 2 isasection side view'. Fig. 3 shows a side and top view ot' the turn-button det-ached from its plate. y

B are the plates to which the respective parts are arranged and secured. plate which is designed to be secured to the upper side ofthe meeting-rail ot'the upper sash, and to which the. hasp E is secured by a joint, so as to admit only of a motion l'roin a holizontal to a perpendicular g and underneath said joint I arrange a spring, D, for the purpose of holding the hasp'E erect and prevent it from falling over so as to intert'erewith the movement of the lower sash.

B" is the plate designed to he secured onto the top edge of the meeting-rail ot' the lower sash, to which I secure a vertical turn-button, G, having a handle, J, attached under the button by means of an eccentric shank, I, for the purpose ot facilitating the turning of said button-and drawing the two sashes firmly together.

I believe I have thus described the nature and construction of my improvement, so as to enable others skilled int-he art to makeand use the same.'

I claim- The handle J, united to the turn-button G by a shank, I., in combination with the springhasp D E, substantially as and for the purpose described.
