PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Metal Corners for Glass Honey-sections for use in Beehives.
I, ARTHUR PURVEY, Junr. of Gower's Road, Hayward's Heath in the county of
Sussex, Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"
دو
The object of my invention is to provide for use in glass "sections" commonly
employed for collecting honey in beehives, small metal pieces cut from a flat sheet or
otherwise formed in such a shape that the ends or edges or the piece itself, may be
bent and placed on or around the edges of the glass uniting the same firmly in boxes
ог sections as they are termed. The form of the metal corners is that of a small
rectangular piece with projecting lugs or flanges formed at each end. The lugs or
flanges are for the purpose of holding the glass at its ends or edges, at right angles to
other pieces thus forming the sections. The novelty of the invention being in the
shape of the aforesaid metal corners, I do not confine myself to their adaptation to
glass sections only, but to those of any suitable substance or material.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Metal Corners for Glass Honey-sections for use in Beehives.
I, ARTHUR PURVEY Junior of Gowers Road Haywards Heath in the county of
Sussex, Joiner 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 of my invention is to provide means for holding four or more pieces of
glass at right angles forming glass "honey-comb-sections" to be used in Bee-hives in
the same manner as the ordinary wood "sections" now in use. I employ small metal
pieces cut from a flat sheet or otherwise formed in such a shape that the ends or
edges, or the piece itself may be bent and placed on or around the edges of the glass
uniting the same firmly in "sections" or boxes. The form of the metal is that of a
small rectangular piece with projecting lugs or flanges at each end. These lugs or
flanges are for the purpose of holding the glass at its ends, or edges, at right angles to
other pieces thus forming the "sections."
I do not limit myself to the use of glass alone as the corners may be used on any
other suitable substance or material.
In order that my invention may be better understood I append drawings in which
Fig. 1 shews the metal piece as stamped out from the flat. The body a is terminated
at each end by the lugs or flanges aforementioned a¹ a¹. Fig. 2 shews the metal
corner bent at right angles for use. Fig. 3 shews the same adapted to the formation
of the "sections," the metal flanges being bent over the glass sides of the "sections"
as shewn. Similar letters in all figures refer to similar parts.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. Metal corners or corner pieces for Glass Honey-sections for use in Bee-hives, as
illustrated and described substantially and as set forth.
Dated this 28th day of February 1890.
