Letters Patent'No. 99,7 6 0, dated Febr/nary 15, 1870; atcdated January 31. l1870.

IMPRQVED WINDOW-FRAME.

. Y l I The Schedule referred to in these Letten Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known' that I, A. J. CLEVELAND, of' Baltimore, Baltimore county, Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement in WindoW-Frames; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the ait to make and use the same, reference being had -to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification. I

My invention relates to securing window-sashes in their flames by mea-ns of beads, which are, adapted to 'be easily adjusted and securely heldin place, .or readily removed, by means of' a construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described.`

Figure l represents a side elevation of av wiudow- -frame having my improvements attached.

Figures 2 and 3 represeut'vertical sections of' the same taken on the lines a: ;c,'y y, respectively, of fig. 4.

Figure 4 represents a section on the line zz of iig. 1.

Figures 5, 6, and 7, represent. detail views showing my.iniprovement. v p

Similar letters oi' reference indicate corresponding parts. Instead of providing the grooves in the sides ofthe window-frame for theiusertion of the center bead a, as heretofore, I propose to provide catches b b on the face ofthe flame, and corresponding hooks on the face ofthe beads, and hook them therein, as represented in fig. 2; and in order to be able to raise the beads high enough to pass the hook behind the catches, I provide lnotches c in the vtop of the frame, and the beads are prevented from rising after being hooked t0 their places by the top bead h.

I propose also to secure theinner beads e by one set beads of one piece,.as represented at h, with beveled ends, so that. it may slide into place after the center and inner vertical beads are put in place, which are also beveled at@ their upper ends; and, in order to secure the said top bead h, I provide catches i in the top of the window frame, and slides] in the upper face of the bead h, to catch behind them aft-er the said'` bead has been shoved into place; and in order to admit the said bead to slide past the catches t', I provide recesses k in the upper face ofthebead.

By .this arrangement it will be readily seen that the upper bead, the inner and central beads may be readily pnt in and taken out, and that when put in, and the bead h fastened by the slides and catches, the whole are secured, and the great annoyance and damage attending the takingout of the windows, as at present constructed, are avoided.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by` Letters Patent- In combination with the window-flame A, provided with the catches b b and i i, and t-he notch c, the beads e c and h, the former having the hooks f f and tenons g, the latterthe slides j and recess k, all constructed and arranged as herein shown and described, for the purpose specified.
