To all whom it may concern :
7 consists of two bars, A’ B’, jointed together Be it known that 1,THoMAs B. ROGERS, Jr., at al, the fastening-bar 01, cars D’, and catch of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State E’. The bar A’ has formed upon it a boss, of New York, have invented a new and Im b’, which is secured by the ?ange or lip 0’, proved Fastener and Adjuster for Shutters, formed on the disk F’, which is attached to 850., of which the following is a speci?cation: the window-sill. The lever is further secured Figures 1 and 2 are plan views of one form

of my improved shutter adjuster and fastener. pivoted between ears D’, that are attached to Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on line now in the shutter, and project diagonally toward the Fig. 1. Fig. 4isa side elevation of a modi?ed window-casing. A slotted bar, 01, is jointed form. Fig. 5 is a plan view. Fig. 6 is a plan to the bar B’ at e’, and is secured to the bar view, showing the shutter open. Fig. 7 is a A by a clamping-screw, f’. The screw f’ has
detail view of the catch that holds the shutter upon its under surface a convex projection, that is received by concavities formed in the ar. , surface of the bar 01, along the slot. The bar Similar letters of reference indicate corre B’ is provided with a nib, 9’, that is capable sponding parts. of engaging the bar A’ when the shutters are The object of my invention is to provide a closed. convenient and reliable shutter fastener and The space between the ears D’ is suf?cient adjuster; and it consists, mainly, in a novel to admit of springing the bar B’, so as to dis combination of parts, as hereinafter more fully engage the nib g’ from the bar A’. The centers described and claimed. of the joint in the ears D’ and the center of In the drawings, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, A is the the joint in the disk F’ are arranged in rela
gpen. Fig. 8 is a modi?ed form of adjusting
shutter; B, the window-frame. O is a bar, tion to each other in such a manner as to lock having one end curved and jointed to an ear, the bars when parallel to the shutter, and to D, that projects diagonally from the shutter prevent the shutter from being opened until toward the window-casing. In the bar (J the window is raised and the bars moved to there is a slot, at, and at the sides of the slot gether toward the inner edge of the window countersunk or concave places are formed for still. receiving the convex portion of the thumb The bars, and consequently the shutter, screw E, the threaded portion of which is re
ceived by a plate, 11, secured to the window sill. A catch, 0, pivoted between ears d, en gages the bar when the shutter is closed, and prevents the shutter from being opened until it is disengaged. The inner surface of the nib g’ of the catch is serrated, so that it may engage the bar 0 with certainty. The shutter is adjusted by means of this device by loosening the thumb-screw E, re leasing the catch c, and swinging the shutter open to the desired point, and clamping it by means of the screw. The engagement of the convex portion of the screw with the concavi
may be clamped in any position by means of
the slotted bar 01 and the clamping-screw f’. When the shutters are wide open the bar
B’ is engaged by a catch, E’, which is pivoted between ears i’, that project from a plate at tached to the shutter. This catch is provided with a shoulder, It’, which prevents it from dropping below a horizontal line drawn through its pivot, and the same shoulder pro jects sut?ciently to touch the bar B’ when the shutter is open, and throw the catch over in case the catch should remain in a vertical po
sition when disengaged from the bar. A plate, I’, is attached to the window-stool
ties of the bar insures the fastening of the to receive the end of the screw f’ when the shutter in any desired position.
,
shutters are closed.
The inner end of the bar 0 is curved up The bar B’, in the present case, is curved, ward, so that it may readily pass over the ‘to receive the screw j’,- but by providing an
stop-bead of the window-stool.
The device represented in Figs. 4, 5, 6, and
car on the bar A this curve may be avoided.
The slotted bars are described as having
