1 WILLIAM JOYNSON of Stanley Villas Runcorn in the county of Chester Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The object is to provide improved gutters and connections for house and other
roofs whereby leakage through the roof will be prevented and water rapidly carried
away.
My invention consists First in constructing roof gutters of earthenware having
turned joints and in bedding the said gutters in cement or suitablo plastic material.
Second. In combining earthenware gutters with moulded bricks and cement to
form cornices.
Third. In constructing the lower part of the roof above the gutter with a drainage
surface composed of layers of slate and cement with or without felt of like material.

I WILLIAM JOYNSON of Stanley Villas Runcorn in the County of Chester 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 :-
:-
The object is to provide improved gutters and connections for house and other
roofs whereby leakage through the roof will be prevented and water rapidly carried
away.
My invention consists, First. In constructing roof gutters of earthenware, having
turned or rabbeted joints, and in bedding the said earthenware gutters whether with
turned or rabbeted joints or not in cement or suitable plastic material, by any of the
means hereinafter specified.
Second. In combining earthenware gutters with moulded bricks and cement to form
cornices.
Third. In constructing the lower part of the roof above the gutter with a drainage
surface composed of layers of slate and cement hair mortar with or without felt of like
material.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and fig. 2 a transverse section of an earthenware
gutter having turned joints under the first part of my invention. a al portions of a
gutter. bearer. c groove filled with cement, putty or like material. In some
cases the bearer may be without any groove the cement or plastic material being laid
between the said bearer and the joint.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section and fig. 4 a transverse section of a modification of
gutter under the first part of my invention here ordinary flange and socket pipes a a¹
are used in combination with an iron bracket band the joint is made tight with oil
putty cement or plastic material and the parts are caused to bed and be held together
by wedges d. Rabbeted or other joints may be used.

third part of my invention. a earthenware gutters bedded in marine glue cement or
plastic material in the bearings b. d securing bolts. f f f slates. g cement hair

Fig. 7 is a transverse section of a gutter having a modified drainage surface
specially applicable to glass roofs. a¹ gutter. i lead covering. A felt between the
lead and the roof j and between the said lead and the glass k such felt being secured
in position by marine glue or equivalent substance.
It will be obvious that the various parts herein set forth may be combined in many
ways without departing from my invention and that the gutters may be used for
houses, bridges, sheds, and other structures where gutters are required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is.
First. Gutters of earthenware having turned joints for the purpose setforth.
Second. Earthenware gutters bedded in plastic material substantially in the manner
and for the purpose setforth.
Third. The combination of earthenware gutters and moulded bricks substantially in
the manner and for the purpose setforth.
Foof. Roof gutters with a drainage surface substantially as setforth.
