Description: |
| Abstract:
I have invented a new and useful improvement in modes of fastening shutters for windows in stores and other buildings where security is required.
Claim:
The mode of fastening window shutters by means of a fiat spring fastened on the inside of the window frame with a shoulder, or bent at right angles at its loose end upon which rests a sliding key held in a vertical position by staples, and which when the bolt from the outside is passed through the bar, and frame comes in contact with the spring causing it to yield inwvard and pass from under the key, said key from its gravity drops into the eye of the bolt the shoulder on the key retaining it in a proper position, by which means the shutter is secured from the outside of the building, without the inconvenience of passing to the inside to insert the key, as in the usual mode. |
