| TEXT | In these degenerate days, when it is necessary to adopt bolts and bars to protect one's property, and when all that skill and ingenuity can devise on the part of thieves and burglars is brought to overcome the effects of these bolts and bars, it is a matter of public interest to mention every new device which offers to give better protection that formerly. The latest and best thing devised for the purposes of a bolt is certainly the alarm bolt invented by Mr. R. G. Vassar, of No. 58 Broadway, this city. It is simple in construction and can be made to sell at prices within every one's reach. The bolt, when thrown into the nose-piece, remains fixed there, the moment it goes into ths nose-piece all communications between it and the slide ceasing, and the only way the holt can be released and drawn back is by pulling a button on the inside of the lock down, when it is withdrawn instantly. The slide losing its communication with the bolt, all manipulation of it by means of a wire from the outside is of no avail. Another point of it consists in the alarm connected with the bolt, which, if the slightest outside pressure is exercised against the door, begins to ring, and continues doing so until the handle connected with the alarm makes four revolutions. There is no possible way to manipulate this bolt from the outside, and for fiats, hotels, etc., it is the finest thing of the kind ever invented. Mr. Vassar has also invented several styles of alarm catches for windows, which lock both sashes, and can also be adapted to fan-lights, scuttles, piazza doors, and even to bureau drawers. One of the styles is made portable, so as to be carried by travellers, to attach to doors and windows. Another is adapted to show-cases, money-drawers and so on. These alarms are gotten up in nickle plate, japan or bronze metal, and are an ornament to any door or window. |
