Complete Specification Accepted, 26th Apr., 1889
We, WILLIAM ROBERT PRYKE, and WILLIAM PALMER, hoth of 48 Upper Thames
Street, City of London, Wholesale Ironmongers do hereby declare the nature, of our
said Invention to be as follows:-
:-
This Invention relates to a novel method of making either in the casting process
or affixing thereto certain appliances such as ribs, fillets, studs, projections, or
excrescences of any kind to or on the back outside surface or wall face of Eaves
Gutters whether of the O-G or other form, so that the Eaves Gutters not only stand
out from the wall and are set in better positions than usual, but also from the shape
at which the ribs, fillets, studs, projections, or excrescences are arranged said gutters
become better water gatherers and prevent the usual front edge overflow in times of
heavy rain.

We, WILLIAM ROBERT PRYKE and WILLIAM PALMER, both of 48 Upper Thames
Street, City of London; Wholesale Ironmongers, 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 a novel method of making, either in the casting process,
or affixing thereto certain appliances, such as ribs, fillets, studs, projections, or
excrescences of any kind, to or on the back outside surface or wall face of Eaves
Gutters whether of the O-G, or other form, so that the Eaves Gutters, not only stand.
out from the wall and are set in botter positions than usual but also from the shape
at which the ribs, fillets, studs, projections, or excrescences are arranged, said gutters
become better water, gatherers and prevent the usual front edge. overflow in times of
heavy rain.
.:
The annexed sheet of drawings show three examples of ribs, fillets, studs,..
projections on the back outside or wall surface of an Eaves Gutter.
..:
.or
According to Figure 1, A is a rib or fillet. B the gutter. This rib or fillet A is
of the same thickness of metal as that of the gutter' B; there being a hollow on the
inside face.
Figure 2 which is a similar view, to that shown at Figure 1 has the rib or fillet A
without the inner recess or hollow..
"Figure 3'shows an. Eaves Gutter with three studs, lugs, or projections A, A, A,”
the middle or upper stud having the nail or screw hole formed in it to enable the
gutter to be secured in the usual manner, a corresponding nail or screw hole being in
the ribs or fillets of Figures 1 and 2..
We have only shown two of our forms of projections on the back of a gutter but.
they may vary and each gutter back may have two or more of such ribs, fillets, studs,
or other projections according to the length of the gutter and the shape of the
projections on each gutter may vary.
The ribs, fillets, studs, projections, or excrescences extend to a greater distance at
the bottom than at the top, so that the projections set the gutter upright and away
from the wall for the proper flow of water in or along the gutter channel.
It is not necessary that the projections, studs, or extension pieces be grouped, as
at Figure 3, as they may be at intervals.

page_text: 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 :-
Making metal Eaves Gutters with projections, or their equivalents on or to the
outside of back for the purpose of keeping the gutter upright and the back away
from a wall, also for causing rain water to flow along the bottom of the channel, as
described and constructed substantially as shown at A of the annexed drawings.
