Clip or Holder for Glass, Slates, or other Material
I JOHN GODDARD, of 13 Radipole Road Fulham in the County of Middlesex
Joiner do hereby declare the nature of my invention for A CLIP OR HOLDER FOR
GLASS, SLATES, OR OTHFR MATFRIAL and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement
-
A Bed peice of Brass, or other suitable material, padded for Glass &c to lay on,
a Saddle peice to clip or hold the 2 or more peices of Glass &c and a Screw to

page_text: fasten the whole together, designed to form a covering, or protection, for Flowers,
Fruit &c.
I further describe the nature of my invention as follows. To form a square
Hand glass to protect plants I use one of my holders with 4 sides which holds
4 pieces of Glass, or if the plants require shading, I use Slates or other suitable
material on one, or two sides, as required. If I require a covering say 3 feet long
and 1 foot wide, I use one of my holders with 3 sides, at each end Or if I require
to protect a row of plants, say a hundred feet long I use one of my holders with
3 sides and one with 2 sides to each of the end coverings and fill in the inter-
mediate space with glass &c held together by my holders with 2 sides any number
of which may be used as required by the length of the glass &c.
In further describing my invention by the accompanying drawings, the one
Section Fig 1 (which is for the holder with 2 sides) will be sufficient, as the
holders with 3 or 4 sides are actuated in a similar way, the only difference is in the
number of sides for glass &c the Section 18 drawn at an angle of 45 degrees but
may be made at any angle, and I do not confine myself to this Section as a Hand
light may be required 6 or 8 feet long, or any length, in which case I would use a
Bed peice of wood or other suitable material, any length as required, and Saddle
peices or capping as required by the number of peices of glass &c to be used, the
longer the Light the deeper the Bed peice would require to be Fig 2 is the Plan
of holder with 2 sides, which may be very plain as shown, or ornamental, such as
the figure of a Hand on each side, or a Leaf, or other suitable design, or continued
the length of glass if necessary Fig 3 is a Plan of holder with 3 sides,
and Fig 4 18 a Plan of holder with 4 sides a a a a represents the edges of
glass &c which may be of any required size, the holders to be made of a suitable
size to hold it the screw may pass through the Saddle peice or Cap and screw
into the Bed peice as shown, or vice versa, and may be of any suitable size and
design The Padding or bedding co Fig 1 may be of Leather, Cloth, Rubber, or
any suitable material varying as may be required in use, as the holders may be
used for a variety of purposes, such as holding together 4 slates to form & Flower
pot, or Boards to form an enclosure, and similar purposes
Having now particularly described 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
1 The Bed peice as shown and described by the Drawings and Specification
2 The Saddle peice or Cap as shown and described by the Drawings and
Specification the whole held together by means of a screw or screws
