I, JEAN MARIE BEUREL of N° 269, Rue Saint Denis, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
This invention relates to introducing into the glass, porcelain, earthenware or the
like while in a soft or plastic state and either during or after manufacture wire
net work or its equivalent for the purpose of avoiding accidents which frequently
happen when the glass or other article is broken the said wire work holding
together the fragments which would otherwise fall.
The invention is applicable to windows, paving tiles, sky lights, and the like as
well as to fragile articles in general produced by melting blowing or moulding.
In order to manufacture window glass for example by my improved process the
wire net work (which may be of any suitable pattern) is arranged at a certain
distance above the running and moulding table and the glass or other material in a
melted or plastic state is run in in such a manner that the wire net work shall be
placed in the interior of the mass.
The said process is equally applicable to the manufacture of other articles of a
round or other form by arranging the wire net work in the interior of the mould
before pouring or placing the melted or plastic material therein.
Instead of running in the melted material as herein before described the wire net
work can be placed between two sheets of glass previously softened and which by
uniting together will give a like result.

The invention is applicable to windows, paving tiles, sky lights, and the like as
