PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Sash-bars and Glazing Holding Devices for
Roofs, Areas, Grates and the like.
I, SQUIRE FAWTHROP, of No. 65, Haley Hill, Halifax, in the County of York,
Plumber and Glazier, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
:-
This invention relates to the bars for supporting the sheets of glass employed for
purpose aforesaid, and to improved devices for holding down the sheets of glass
resting on or supported by such bars, the object being to provide against any dripping
from condensation on the under surface of the glass, this I effect by an improved
form or section of sash bar which combines a rest or support for the sheets of glass,
below which is a channel for receipt and conduit of the water of condensation.
According to this my said invention the section of the improved bar is inverted 1
or double angle iron, with the addition that the horizontal arms each have an extended
appendage or part of Jor hook-shape forming at each side a trough.
The edges of the squares of glass rest upon the horizontal arms of the 1, the
JL troughs being below, it follows that any moisture or water of condensation
between the hearing surface on which the glass rests and such part of the glass must
run downwards and into the JL channels or troughs.
The several sheets of glass are secured by means of metal spring or sliding clips
which clips span the upper part or ridge of the 1 and rest or bear on the glass and
the said ridge may be of dolls head form in section thereby forming a better hold for
the clips.
It is preferred to hollow out the under side of the ☐ thereby, to ensure a lighter
section without any material weakening of the same.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Sash-bars and Glazing Holding Devices for
Roofs, Areas, Grates, and the like.
I, SQUIRE FAWTHROP, of No. 65 Haley Hill, Halifax, in the County of York,
Plumber and Glazier, 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:-
This invention relates to the bars for supporting the sheets of glass employed for
purpose aforesaid and to improved devices for holding down the sheets of glass resting
on or supported by such bars, the object being to provide against any dripping from
condensation on the under surface of the glass, this I effect by an improved form or
section of sash bar which combines a rest or support for the sheets of glass, below
which is a channel for receipt and conduit of the water of condensation.
According to this my said invention the section of the improved bar is inverted 1
or double angle iron, with the addition that the horizontal arms each have an extended
appendage or part of J or hook shape forming at each side or trough.
The edges of the squares of glass rest upon the horizontal arms of the 1, the
JL troughs being below, it follows that any moisture or water of condensation
between the bearing surface on which the glass rests and such part of the glass must
run downwards and into the J channels or troughs.

page_text: The several sheets of glass are secured by means of metal spring or sliding clips
which clips span the upper part or ridge of the _ and rest or bear on the glass and
the said ridge may be of dolls head form in section thereby forming a better hold for
the clips.
It is preferred to hollow out the under side of the _ thereby, to ensure a lighter
section without any material weakening of the same.
Such being the nature and object of my invention the following is a complete
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawing.
At 1 is the ordinary bearing or supporting bar upon which is placed and secured
our improved inverted 1 2, the edge of the glass 3 resting on the horizontal arms 4. 4
of the inverted 1 which are made slightly hollow as shewn and below which are
the formed channels or troughs 5. 5 which receive and carry off the moisture
or water.
The outer remaining parts of the JL6. 6 lie to and along the edges of the T iron 1
and are bent or folded inside the same at 8. 8. securing the whole inverted 1 in
position whilst the upper part or comb 9. 9 is formed in two parts as shewn, each
having at its outer extremity a heading or doll head 10. 10 in section the parts of
the comb being bent down to the form and position shewu by dotted lines.
The improved inverted 1 herein described is made of lead rolled as ordinary.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature and object of
my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed and carried
into practice I declare that what I claim is.
The improved inverted _ device for purpose set forth and as herein fully described
and illustrated by the drawings annexed hereto.
