PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Means for Glazing without Putty.
HENRY EUSTACE, 5, St. Joseph Terrace, Morley Road, Leyton, Essex, Car-
penter and Horticultural Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
-
In making my invention
take a strip of metal of ether zinc iron copper
or brass of the required length width and thickness and bent it the full length
to the form of Fig. 1, in the clips, A Fig. 1. I place a strip of india rubber or
other yeelding material which covers the under surface of the bead and surface
of gloss under B Fig. 2, and is held in its place by the clips being bent done on
it in use the bead is placed on the glass and the clips pass down edges of the
glass and is held in place by screws passing through holes made in the bead into
the rafter beneath Fig. 2 in case of a rabbet being used the bead is cut through
length ways leaving a sharp edge and it is placed on the glass by side of rabbet
and rivets are driven through holes in edge of bead causing the sharp edge to
enter wood Fig. 3.

Improved Means for Glazing without Putty..
I, HENRY EUSTACE, 5, St. Joseph Terrace, Morley Road, Leyton, in the County
of Essex, Horticultural Builder, 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:.
In general practice it is customary to use bars for glazing with rabbets in
which the glass lies embedded in putty.
My invention consists of a bead formed of sheet metal with flanges as shown
In its
in Fig. 1 on sheet of drawings sent with Provisional Specifications.
single state it is for use on flat bars without rabbets but by cutting through the
centre lengthways it becomes duplex so that it can be used where rabbeted bars
are in use also, in all cases without the aid of putty.
Such being the nature and object of my invention will now proceed to
describe the same more fully and for that purpose make reference to the sheet
of drawings sent with the Provisional Specification.
In making my invention I take a sheet of metal either zinc iron copper or
brass of the required length width and thickness and bend it the full length to

page_text: the form of Fig. 1 the bead is used the length of the edge of the pane of glass
to be glazed.
In the turn up on flange A Fig. 1 I place the edge of a thin strip of india
rubber or other yielding material and the said turn up is pressed down on it to
hold it in place the yeelding material is turned to cover the under surface of
the bead and forms a mat between the bead and the glass B Fig. 2. In tight
work the mat is fastened to bead by india rubber solution of commerce and the
turn upon flange as shown at A Fig. 1 is dispensed with. Holes, at convenient
distances are made in the bead for screws to pass down between the flanges.
In using the bead where flat bars are used it is placed on the two sheets of glass
with flangs pressing down the edge of same. It is held in position by screws
passing down through the holes in the bead into the bar beneath, Fig. 2.
the event of rabbetted sash bars being in use the bead is cut through the centre
lengthways C Fig. 1 so as to leave a sharpe edge, which edge is bent back so
that in using the bead the flange may pass readily down between the glass and
rabbet. When the bead is in place the said sharp edge is brought into contact
with the wood by pressing with a thin strip of wood or drawing the thumb
along the surface of bead.
In
Holes are made in side of bead at convenient distances and brass rivets are
driven horizontally between the upper and lower plate of bead into the side of
rabbet which causes the sharp edge to enter wood as Fig. 3.
Having now particularly discribed and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
The idea of a bead formed of sheet metal to the form of Fig. 1 with flanges
with or without turn up edge to hold mat as at A Fig. 1 and to be duplex and
available for the two forms of bars as stated substantially as described and
shown in drawings.
