PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Making Fire Proof and Sanitary Partitions
or Divisions.
I, DAVID FAULKNER of Hersham, Walton on Thames in the County of Surrey,
Engineer & Iron Founder do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
•
My invention consists in an improved method of constructing fire proof &
sanitary partitions or divisions, which may be made of sheet steel, sheet iron, sheet
zinc or other suitable material & to be employed for houses, asylums, institution,
lodging houses, ship cabins, or for use as panels, for balconies, verandahs the sides
of staircases in lieu of balustrading, or in any other similar position.
The partition or division is formed of sheet steel, sheet iron, sheet zine or other
suitable material. The sides or ends of each sheet has impressed on it, rolled
corrugations or ribs of various patterns, the same being concavo-concave, when
two sheets are placed together with a concave and convex edge, they over lap
each other to the extent of an eighth of an inch or more beyond the impressed,
rolled, corrugated or ribbed portion of the sheet, & being drilled, rivetted or bolted
together form stiffeners, & lateral supports to the partitions, divisions or panelling.
If desired instead of forming the impressed, rolled, corrugated or ribbed edges
on the sheet-steel, sheet iron or sheet zinc the partitions, divisions or panelling
be constructed of plain sheets of steel, iron or zinc or other suitable material,
two sheets being butted together, the joint for uniting the two together & to secure
lateral stiffness. may be formed of two strips of impressed, rolled, corrugated or
ribbed steel, iron or zinc, placed over the joints, one strip each side of the sheet.
The two steel, iron or zinc strips & the sheet steel, iron, zinc or other suitable
material may be punched or drilled and the same rivetted or bolted together, by
which means lateral stiffness and ornamentations is obtained.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Making Fire Proof and Sanitary Partitions
or Divisions.
I, DAVID FAULKNER of Hersham, Walton on Thames, in the County of Surrey,
Engineer and Ironfounder, 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 consists in an improved method of constructing fire proof and
sanitary partitions or divisions, which may be made of flat sheet steel, flat sheet
iron, flat sheet zinc, or other suitable material and to be employed for houses,
asylums institutions, lodging houses, ships cabins, or for use as panels for balconies,
verandahs, the side of staircases in lieu of balustrading, or in any other similar
position.
The partition or division is formed of flat sheet steel, flat sheet iron, flat sheet
zinc, or other suitable material. The sides or ends of each sheet has impressed
upon it rolled corrugations or ribs of various patterns the same being concavo-
concave, when two sheets are placed together with a concave and convex edge,
they overlap each other to the extent of an eight of an inch or more beyond the
impressed, rolled corrugated or ribbed portion of the sheet and being drilled,

rivetted or bolted together form stiffeners and lateral supports to the partitions,
divisions, or panelling.
If desired, instead of forming the impressed, rolled, corrugated or ribbed edges
on the flat sheet steel, flat sheet iron or flat sheet zinc, the partitions divisions or
panelling may be constructed of plain sheets of steel, iron, or zinc or other suitable
material, two sheets being butted together, the joint for uniting the two together
and to secure lateral stiffness may be formed of two strips of impressed rolled,
corrugated or ribbed steel, iron or zinc, placed over the joint, one strip each side
of the sheet. The two steel iron or zinc strips and the sheet steel, iron or zinc,
or other suitable material may be punched or drilled, and the same rivetted or
bolted together, by which means lateral stiffness and ornamentation is obtained.
The accompanying sheet of drawings illustrates the method of carrying out my
invention.
Figure 1. represents a section through one sheet of flat sheet steel, flat sheet
iron or other suitable material with the impressed, ribs, or rolled corrugated edges_
thereon.
Figure 2. shews the manner in which the said sheets are joined together.
Referring to Figure 1. A. is the body of a plain sheet of flat sheet steel or flat
sheet iron or other suitable material. B. B. is the impressed, ribbed, or rolled
corrugation on the edges of the sheet A. C. represents bolt holes punched in the
ribs or corrugations to receive bolts or rivets for joining one or more sheets
.together.
Figure 2. shews a joint when two sheets are joined together. D. is a bolt or
rivet placed four inches or more apart, which firmly holds the sheets together.
Having now described the nature of my said invention, and the manner of
performing the same, I claim :
Corrugating the edges of metal plates for partitions and the like, substantially in
the manner described and shewn in the drawing.
