page_text: I TOM BELL BURNS of the borough of Camelford in the county of Cornwall,
Ironmonger and Implement dealer, do hereby declare the nature of said invention
of IMPROVED APPLIANCES FOR SECURING THATCH ON RICKS, MOWS, OR HOUSES,
APPLICABLE ALSO FOR TRELLIS WORK OR FENCING PURPOSES to be as follows:-
The thatch securer is made of Galvanized or other wire, and is made like a net,
either in squares, or any number of sided figure, each side of the square or other
figure has a loop turned at each end which fastens into a ring or S crook and which
when closed forms a secure flexible joint, the securer can be made any width or
length, and when it is required to be joined to that already placed on the thatch it
can be fastened with spring hooks, the whole is secured to ricks, mows, or houses
by pins with a hook at the end, which firmly holds the thatch securer tight and so
prevents the thatch from being lifted by the wind.

I TOM BELL BURNS of the borough of Camelford in the county of Cornwall
Ironmonger and Implement dealer do hereby declare the nature of said invention for
SECURING THATCH ON RICKS, MOWS OR HOUSES, APPLICABLE ALSO FOR TRELLIS.
WORK OR FENCING PURPOSES and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:--
This invention is designed to supersede the old fashioned plan of securing thatch
on Ricks, Mows or houses by Straw or Fibre ropes This improved appliance is
made of Galvanized or other wire, and is made like a net, either in squares or any
number of sided figure each of the sides of the square or other figure has a loop
turned at each end which fastens into a Ring, Washer, S Crook or any other
suitable contrivance. for holding it, and which when closed forms a secure and
flexible joint. The Thatch securer can be made of any size mesh, and when used
on a Rick, Mow or house it can be used either.lengthways or over. the ridge, and
when it is necessary to connect two pieces together this can be done by using spring
.hooks. The whole is secured to Ricks Mows or Houses by hooked pins made either
of Iron, Wood or other suitable substance, which firmly holds the thatch securer
tight and so prevents the thatch from being lifted by the wind.

I claim is
1 The construction of an appliance for securing thatch on Ricks, Mows or
houses.
2 The Thatch securer can be used for Trellis work, Training Vines, Fruit trees,
Shrubs or Flowers.
3 The Thatch securer can be used for Fencing purposes.
