PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Strips or Bars for Glazing, applicable to Rafters,
Frames, Sashes, and the like.
I, GEORGE DEACON, of 103 Lower Thrift Street, Northampton, in the County
of Northampton, Horticultural Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :-
My invention relates to improvements in strips or bars for glazing, applicable to
rafters, frames, sashes and the like, and consists of a core or strip of wood, (or
metal), covered with sheet lead on the top and the two sides, and partly on each
side at the bottom, and bent outwards to form the lapping strips to cover or secure
the edges of the glass. These said strips or bars are intended to be screwed or
nailed on to the top of rafters or the like. The aforesaid strips or bars are about
one third the size of the rafter it is intended to be fixed to, in order that the glass
shall have a bearing on the rafter similar to the ordinary rebate, and the lead
strips pressed down to secure the glass.
The bars or rafters to which the strips are attached may be of any suitable
section, and of any material.
The strips are fastened with nails or screws, but preferably with copper or brass
screws to prevent rust.
The object of my invention is that by taking out the screws the strips may be
removed from the rafters, to permit the glass to be taken off the rafters without
damage temporary buildings can be erected and removed by this system more
readily than by the ordinary glazing process now in common use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Strips or Bars for Glazing, applicable to Rafters,
Frames, Sashes, and the like.
I, GEORGE DEACON, of 103 Lower Thrift Street, Northampton, in the County
of Northampton, 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 :—
My invention relates to improvements in strips or bars for glazing, applicable to
rafters, frames, sashes and the like, and consists of a core or strip of wood, (or
metal), covered with sheet lead on the top and the two sides, and partly on cach
side at the bottom, and bent outwards to form the lapping strips to cover or secure
the edges of the glass. These said strips or bars are intended to be screwed or
nailed on to the top of rafters or the like. The aforesaid strips or bars are about
one third the size of the rafter it is intended to be fixed to, in order that the glass
shall have a bearing on the rafter similar to the ordinary rebate, and the lead strips
pressed down to secure the glass.
The bars or rafters to which the strips are attached may be of any suitable
section, and of
any material.
The strips are fastened with nails or screws, but preferably with copper or brass
screws to prevent rust.
The object of my invention is that by taking out the screws the strips may be
removed from the rafters, to permit the glass to be taken off the rafters without
damage; temporary buildings can be erected and removed by this system more
readily than by the ordinary glazing process now in common use.

page_text: And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed to
describe the accompanying drawings thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Figure 1 represents a section of a rafter d with grooves for carrying off moisture
from condensation, with the strip or core secured by a screw to the rafter, the
said core being covered with sheet lead a; this said Figure 1 denotes the position of
the lead before glazing.
Figure 2, is a section as in Figure 1, with the lead turned down on ench side of
the core on to the glass e, e.
Figure 3 is a section drawn to a smaller size of Figure 2, to represent a vertical
bar when glazed. The grooves are not required as in Figures 1 and 2.
The advantages of my invention are that planks or boards can be placed on the
roof for the repair of accidental breakages or cleaning of glass.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration and that
the shapes, materials and proportions of the various parts may be varied in many
ways within the scope of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what
claim is :-
1. The combination of the lead a and the wood or metallic core fixed to a
rafter or vertical post d', by screws, nails or the like, for glazing with glass,
substantially as herein described and according to the accompanying drawings.
2. The combination of the core or strip cut to any suitable section and covered
with lead for glazing to rafters, frames, sashes and the like, to be fixed by nails,
screws, or by any other suitable means, substantially as herein described.
3. The bending outwards of the lead to form the lapping strips to cover or secure
the edges of the glass, substantially as herein described.
