PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
For an Improved Door and Window Frame for Use in Concrete
Buildings.
I ALFRED PETER SHARP of 17 Great Brunswick Street in the City of
Dublin Builder and Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
:-
I construct of wood a cased frame for either doors, windows, or other openings
applicable to concrete buildings to dispense with the usual building of reveals to
protect and make weather tight window and door frames, and the necessary
securing of them with head joggles and nailing and wedging. To dispense with
head joggles, spuds at foot in securing door frames to sills. To incorporate and
key such door and window frames with concrete walls of any thickness in such
a manner as shall be weather, wind, and water-tight, and enable the sashes to be
set at outside face of walls without reveals.
Also that the said frames shall serve as the upright guides for securing the
temporary casing used in concrete building.

And the improvements and advantages claimed for this my invention are as
follows.
That by this means a very great saving is effected in comparison to the old
method of revealed doors and windows especially in concrete constructions.
1st. These frames are so thoroughly incorporated to and built in with the concrete
that they are immoveable.
2nd. That all screeding, wedging and nailing in frames are dispensed with.
3rd. By this my method these doors and windows are perfectly weather & water
tight.
4th. All labour of forming opes and reveals is by this method saved.
5th. That these frames form guides and stays for the concrete casing thereby
saving the employment of temporary frames in concrete building.

such door and window frames with concrete walls of any thickness in such a manner
as shall be weather, wind,, and water tight, and enable the sashes to be set at

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
my said 2
1st. The novelty & usefulness of these frames is in their adaptability to thin
walls of concrete where ordinary sashes & frames cannot be used.
2nd. The ready method of securing them in the concrete.
3rd.. Their. use as guides in casing for concrete walls.
