SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 718,118, dated January 13, 1903.

Applioationled Junehl 3, 1902. Serial No. 111,590. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom. t may concern:

Be it known that I, CLAYTON A. GooDsELL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Harvard, in the county of McI-Ienry and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sash-Locks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain improvements in sash-locks adapted for application to the side rails of a Window-sash and intended to provide means for fastening the two sash together and also preferably for fastening one of the sash to the window-frame.

To such ends the inventionV consists in certain novel features below described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of the part of a window-frame andwindow-sash to which the fastener is applied. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section in the line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a perspective of certain parts of the device, showingthecasing in dotted lines. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section in the line 4 4 of Fig. l. Fig.`5 is a section in the line 5 5 of Fig. 4 looking in the direction of the arrow, and Fig. 6 is a section in the line 6 6 of Fig. 4 looking in the direction of the arrow.

Referring to the drawings, A is the window-frame; B B, the upper and lower sash, respectively. The upper sash is provided with a series of holes or bolt-sockets b, and upon one side of the top of the lower sash is secured a frame or casing O, designed to support and preferably inclose and conceal the working parts of the fastener. In the window-frame are a series of holes adapted to serve as bolt-sockets d, and a bolt D is guided longitudinally of the casing in openings c 'c' and engages the sockets o. to secure the lower sash to the frame. On the bolt D is a collar d, Fig. 2,4ad`apted to engage a lug a on the casing to hold the bolt either in the sockets or entirely out of the same. A spring H between the collar and the opposite side of the casing tends to thrust the bolt into the sockets. Fig. 5 shows the preferred shape of the lug a', and the same is preferably limited in lateral extent, so as to pass through a notch d in the collar to permit the bolt to be drawn back. In the front and rear Walls of the casing are slots c3 c2, throughwhich extends a transverse bolt E, which carries within the casing a slide F of the form shown in Fig. 3, provided with a trough-shaped channel f, through which the bolt E extends. The trough-shaped channel permits a lug e on the bolt to pass through when the bolt is turned to the proper position. An indicator e2 on the `handle portion of the bolt indicates from the outside when the bolt is in this position. A similar indicator on the handle of the bolt D indicates the position of the notch in the collar d. A loose collar e' on the bolt E fur nishes a bearing for a spring G, which also bears on the lug e to crowd the bolt E into the sockets b. On the slide F is an arm f4, extend ing through the casi n'g and guided therein and provided outside of said casing with a portion f5, extending toward the upper sash and ter minatingin a rollerf6,a(lapted to runupon the inner edge of said sash, as seen in Fig. 2. The slide F rides against a guide c5, raised from the bottom plate of the casing, which keeps the slide from tilting` or Wabbling. A platefl, supported upon a lug f, extending from the slide F,`furnishe`s"a bearing for a coiled spring f8, the other'end of which bears upon the'casing and tends to crowd the slide toward the right in Fig. `4, so as to cause .the roller f6 to bear uponthe uppersash. By this means the bolt E is kept in the vertical plane of the opening b regardless of any relative lateral movement of the sash one with respect to the other. The arm f4 is provided at its inner end with a loop or hook fg, having one end in engagement with a holef10 in the slide F. It will be seen that by pulling the roller away from the edge of the sash at a'time when the bolt E 1is not in one of the sockets b and then holding the bolt E in this position the hook can be disengaged from the hole flo by again pushing the roller toward the sash and the roller can be swung up outof the way of the sash when it is desired to place the lower sash above the upper one for cleaning or other purposes. The slide F provides means for holding the bolt E in position to engage the upper sash or withdrawn therefrom, so as to permit of the free movement of said upper sash. Said slide F has a projecting lugfl1 running through the casingand bearing upon the frame. This lug supplements the roller f and is intended for the same purpose. Upon the top of the slide F and carried there- ICO move a considerable distance while .the other portion will only move ashort distance. This construction is clearly shown in the drawings and its operation will be understood. The plate I2 has an upturned end t", which when the bolt E is in engagement with the upper sash is in the normal path of the collar d upon the bolt D. It will be obvious, therefore, that when the bolt E is closed the bolt D must also remain closed. A shoulder 'i2 upon the plate I2 also engages a lug J upon the casing. This locks the bolt E in aclosed position. A second lug J', together with the lug J, furnishes a support for one end of the telescoping plate, the other end of which rests upon the slide F. A rib]12 upon said slide forms a guide for the plate I' I2 while it is upon the slide. It 'will be seen, therefore, that when this bolt is closed the projecting portion t2 must be removed from engagement with the lug J. The bolt E must then be drawn back, also withdrawing the upturned portion of the telescoping plate from the path of the collar d before the second bolt D can be withdrawn. This is accomplished by slightly pulling the bolt D. It will be seen that this will bring the collar d into engagement with the upturned portion 7l' and force it a slight distance to the left in Fig. 4, thereby releasing its engagement with the lug J. The lug J' allows the plate but very slight lateral movement, simply enough to permit the shoulder t2 to be released from the lug J. It will thus be understood that the bolt D cannot be released unt-il the bolt E is first withdrawn because of the upturned end i' and lug J'.

A plate M, secured upon the arm f4 and connected to the front of the casing C by a screw m, furnishes means for producing lateral movement to said arm for the purpose of adapting the lock to different thicknesses of sash. By turning said screw the roller is caused to move toward or away from the casing C, and therefore into proper engagement with the upper sash.

By the devices heretofore described either or both of the bolts may be secured in its rearmost position. It will be observed that this forms a very simple and convenient lock and one which it is absolutely impossible to open from outside of the window-that is to say, with a lock of this sort burglary from without would be practically impossible, as a hole large enough to admit two hands would have to be made in the window before the lock could be operated at all.

I realize that considerable changes can be made in the details of this construction, and I do not, therefore, desire to limit myself to the specific construction herein shown.

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1.
