An Improved System of Glazing Windows and the like.
We WILLIAM JOHN HALL of 16 Market Place Saint Helen's in the County of
Lancaster Architect and GEORGE Charles Whitfield of 1 Hardshaw Street Saint
Helen's aforesaid Manufacturers Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and

The invention is intended to improve and supersede the ordinary method of glazing
fixing reinstating or replacing plate glass or other windows by reversing such ordinary
method of so doing and can be applied either to new or old work whether of wood
metals or other material and consists of the rabbet sides of the frames bars sheets or
sashes being placed outwardly in all cases so as to enable the glass to be fixed
reinstated or replaced from the outside without interfering with any internal arrange-
ments connected with any such windows and also either with or without a bedding or
packing of india rubber felt cloth or other soft material fastened with glue, specially
prepared paste or cement or by tacks sprigs or screws of suitable kinds to the rabbets
beads moulds or fillets only so that the glass may be allowed freedom to expand or
contract between such bedding or packing yet preventing dust or water being driven
between them as more fully shewn hereafter and by the plans or drawings, Sheets 1
and 2 accompanying this.
The beads moulds or fillets may be fixed by clamp plates collars or washers through
which round or square necked flush round headed or other screw bolts are passed and
secured with plain or thumb nuts as shown in plan or drawing Sheet 1 herewith and
more particularly referred to hereafter but preferably the beads moulds or fillets may
be secured by a stud pin fitted into the frames or bars to be slipped into an eye ended
slot or slit plate after the fashion of a button cleaning plate fixed to the beads moulds
or fillets or contrarywise as shewn in plan or drawing Sheet 1 and more particularly
referred to hereafter or the beads moulds or fillets may be fixed by the usual method
of screws nails or brads and by sinking the cills and heads of frames to allow of
adjustment of said stud pin to plate and scribing or otherwise mitreing the beads
moulds or fillets and in order to prevent corrosion or eating away ironwork.
