PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvement in Galvanized and Corrugated All-iron or Steel
Sheds or Barns.
I, THOMAS DUFF PEARSON of Thomas Pearson & Company, Midland Iron
Works, Wolverhampton, Galvanized Iron Builder and Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It consists in better securing the galvanized corrugated sheets to the angle iron
or steel wall plates or eaves beams of sheds or barns when supported on iron or
steel girder columns by means of an improved form of hook screw bolt and nut,.
whereby the galvanized corrugated sheets have a double bearing on the angle iron.
or steel wall plates or eaves beams at the caves and are thus better secured and
preserved for wear and tear than by the ordinary single bearing on the one edge of
the angle iron or steel wall plates or eaves beams as hitherto adopted. Hook.
screw bolts and nuts or other clips or devices have been and are in use for securing.
the galvanized and corrugated sheets to angle or other iron or steel wall plates or
eaves beams, but not of my method of placing the latter in combination with my
hook screw bolts and nuts. The hook screw bolt passes round and embraces
entirely the outer side or surface of the angle iron, or steel wall plates, or eaves'
beams; while other sections, or forms of wall plates, or eaves beams, may be used
by me in combination with my hook screw bolts and nuts, these latter are preferably
used in combination with my angle iron or steel wall plates or eaves beams..
I dispense with all cast iron work, kneeing, or welding of the angle, or other iron,.
or steel, wall plates, or eaves beams in my construction.

I THOMAS DUFF PEARSON of Thomas Pearson & Company, Midland Iron.
Works, Wolverhampton, Galvanized Iron Builder and Engineer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
It consists in better securing the galvanized corrugated sheets to the angle iron
or steel wall plates or eaves' beams of sheds, or barns, when supported on iron or
steel girder columns, by means of an improved form of hook screw bolt and nut, as.
in accompanying drawing, Fig. 1, b and d, whereby the galvanized corrugated
sheets as in Fig. 1, e, have a double bearing on the angle iron or steel wall plates,
or eaves' beams as in Fig. 1, a, at the eaves, and are thus better secured, and
preserved for wear and tear than by the ordinary single bearing on the one edge of
the angle iron or steel wall plates, or eaves' beams, as hitherto adopted. Hook

page_text: screw bolts and nuts or other clips or devices have been, and are in use for securing
the galvanized and corrugated sheets to angle or other iron or steel wall plates, or

used in combination with my hook screw bolts and nuts, these latter are preferably
used in combination with my angle iron or steel wall plates or eaves' beams.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim are:-
1. Hook screw (nut) bolts, in combination with iron or steel wall plates, or
eaves' beams, and embracing the outer surface of latter at necessary distances,
apart, and when screwed up with nut and washer, locking securely the galvanized
roof sheets to said eaves' beams of sheds or barns, (open or enclosed,) as Fig. 1, of
accompanying drawing, a, b, c, d, e.
2. Other sections or forms of iron or steel eaves' beams, however placed, and
fixed on the girder columns, may be used by me in combination with said hook
bolts, etc.
3. Single or split clips, in combination with iron or steel wall plates or eaves'
but I
beams, and embracing the outer surface of latter, may also be used by me,
prefer using the hook screw (nut) bolts, as in Fig. 1, of said drawing, for reasons
given under No. 1 claim.
