Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
"For a new and useful machine for Fastening and Securing Window Shutters; Truman Bartholomew, New York, June 30.
This machine consists of two latches, and two catches, one pair of them to fasten the shutter, when open, against the wall, the other to secure it to the sill when closed." A particular description we should deem superfluous, as the contrivance possesses no great novelty. It will, undoubtedly, answer the purpose equally well with fifty others, patented and unpatented, which have been offered to the public, and probably better than several of them."
