PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and in Apparatus for Glazing and
Roofing Buildings.
We, WILLIAM HENRY HEYWOOD and WALTER CURBSTONE both of Leeds
Road, Huddersfield in the County of York, Horticultural Engineers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
--
The object of our invention relates to further improvements on our Patent
No. 22630 and in constructing such glazing bars of a durable and weather proof form,
also that when required other super-structures may bear or rest upon the same.
The soft metallic covering of such bars are drawn or rolled in one piece, then
bent or worked to the form required, and may cover the whole of the said inverted
Tiron.
We employ an inverted T iron upon which the soft metallic covering is fixed, and
provide channels upon the upper side of each lower wing of the inverted T iron, such
channels carrying the asbestos packing upon which the glass rests also channels for
the condensation, there are also longer wings with round ends which are bent over
the glass forming the required air chamber near the end, the two outer ends of the
soft metallic covering being wrapped around the base of the inverted T iron secures
the whole in position.
When moulded the soft metal covering is in one flat piece of the required width,
at a distance from each end are the projecting lips forming the packing channel, and
at a distance from the centre are the vertical wings terminating in nobs or balls for
overlapping or forming the cap or cover for the glass, and covering the vertical rib
of the inverted T iron, the said rib extending above the glass and caps can carry any
superposed structure required.

Improvements in the Method of and in Apparatus for Glazing and
Roofing Buildings.
We, WILLIAM HENRY HEYWOOD and WALTER CURBSTONE, both of Leeds
Road, Huddersfield in the County of York, Horticultural Engineers, 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 our invention relates to further improvements on our Patent
No. 2263 and in constructing such glazing bars of a durable and weather proof form,
also that when required other super-structures may bear or rest upon the same.
The soft metallic covering of such bars is drawn or rolled in one piece, then

Fig. is a sectional elevation of our improved glazing bar and cap when drawn
or rolled.
Fig. 2. is a sectional elevation of our improved glazing bar showing the cap as
drawn or rolled.
Fig. 3. is a sectional elevation of our improved bar bent so as to fit the
inverted T iron.
Fig. 4. is a perspective view of our improved glazing bar and cap, with glass,
all in position upon the inverted T iron.
Fig. 5. shows a section of inverted T iron with extra strengthening rib below
the base.
We employ an inverted T iron A, upon which the soft metallic covering B
is fixed, such metallic covering providing channels H upon the upper side of
each lower wing of the inverted Tiron, such channels to carry asbestos packing G
upon which the glass D rests. Also channels B₁ are provided for the con-
densation; there are also wings K (see Figs. 1. 2 and 3) with round ends L,
which are bent over the glass D, forming caps E (see Fig. 4); the heads or
round ends L when so bent, form the required air chamber M near the end, the
two outer ends J of the soft metallic covering, being wrapped around the base
of the inverted T iron A, secure the whole in position.
When moulded the soft metallic covering may be in one flat piece, (see Fig. 1.),
of the required width, or the wings K may be drawn, bent, or rolled as shown at
Fig. 2 at a suitable distance from each end of the soft metal bar, are the
projecting lips forming the packing channel H, and at a suitable distance from
the centre are the vertical wings K, terminating in nobs or balls L see Fig. 1;
the whole is then bent or worked into shape similar to Fig. 4, the wings K
overlapping or forming the cap or cover for the glass J, and covering the
vertical rib A' of the inverted T iron A, the said rib extending above the glass
and cape, can be used to carry any superposed structure required, and may be
strengthened by a bottom rib A' where required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. Constructing the soft metallic glazing bar and cap, and securing the same
upon the inverted T iron or bar, as and for the purposes substantially as shown
and described.
2. The combination of the inverted Tiron A with rib A¹ (extending above the
cap E) and the soft metallic glazing bar B with caps E and asbestos G, in the
manner and for the purposes substantially as shown and described.
Dated this Twenty-second day of January 1895.
