APPLICABLE FOR FIXING SHEETS OF

SLATE. METAL, OR OTHER MATERIAL."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Charles Frederick Elliott at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 29th December 1880.

"IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO GLAZING' AND APPLIANCES THEREFOR,
ALSO APPLICABLE FOR FIXING SHEETS OF SLATE, METAL, OR OTHER MATERIAL."
My Invention relates to a novel method of glazing and appliances therefor, and
is also applicable for fixing sheets of slate, metal, or other material.
According to my Invention I use ↓ (anchor) iron for the sash bars or
supports, and I attach the sheets of glass thereto by means of spring clips, which
are bolted to the web of the anchor iron in such a manner that they press on the
sheet of glass, and with the turned up flange of the anchor iron form a clip, which
grips and holds the sheet of glass which is placed therein. I also use a cap or
covering which slides under the metal clips and covers over the metal clips and the
web of the anchor iron. The clip is made of duplex form, as likewise the cap, so
that they hold and embrace the sheets of glass on both sides of the sash bar or
anchor iron. The ends of the turned up edges of the anchor iron are channelled or
made concave to receive an india rubber or other suitable packing strip on which
the sheets of glass bear.
The glazing is performed by using a series of the anchor irons, spring clips, and
cappings, as described; the sheets of glass span from anchor iron to anchor iron,
as will be understood. It will also be evident that my Invention is applicable to
supporting sheets of slate, or metal, or other material.

page_text: and 6). The upper portion of the runner L is turned over the flanges A¹, and the
lower portion of the runner is turned over at L' to suit the next length of roofing,
and sufficiently above the roof to allow the water from the glazing to have free
passage between the runner and the roof. The runner is preferably of the section
shown.
It will be seen that by using the anchor iron sash bar A I obtain a duplex
gutter, and by forming the ends of the sash bars A, as shown at Figures 5 and 6,
any leakage of water that may find its way into the gutters of the anchor iron is
discharged into the trough M, as shown at Figure 2. The trough M is formed by
a sheet of zinc or like material, being brought up against the under side of the
purline as shown.
The anchor shaped sash bar, according to my Invention, when formed of sheet
zinc or other metal, is constructed as shown at Figures 8 and 9, and is supported
by the wooden core M, which is cut away at the ends to receive the chairs A",
which ship in, as shown at Figures 8 and 9. The zinc is held to the wood by
means of the rivets O, and the spring clip C is secured to the sash bar by the
screws R.
Having now described my Invention and practically illustrated how the same
may be put into operation, what I claim as my Invention and secured to me by
Letters Patent as aforesaid is,―
First. A sash bar, such as A, formed with channelled grooves, such as E, to
receive a packing, such as F, as herein described and shown in the Drawings hereto
annexed.
Second. Forming the lower ends of sash bars, such as A, with discharge channels
or outlets and flanges, as and for the purposes herein described and particularly
shown at Figures 5 and 6 of the Drawings hereto annexed.
Third. The sash bar A, with the grooves E, packing strips F, spring clips C, and
cap H, arranged to receive the sheets B, the whole constructed as herein described
and shown at Figure 1 of the Drawings hereto annexed.
Fourth. The sash bar A, with the grooves E, packing strips F, and continuous
spring clips C, arranged to receive the sheets B, the whole constructed as herein
described and shown at Figures 3 and 4 of the Drawings hereto annexed.
Fifth. Fastening the spring clips C to the web of the sash bar A by the bolts D,
as herein described and shown at Figures 1 to 3 of the Drawings hereto annexed.
Sixth. Arranging roof glazing in the manner herein described and shown at
Figure 2 of the Drawings hereto annexed.
Seventh. The construction and use of a weather baffle, such as L, as herein
described and shown at Figures 2 and 6 of the Drawings hereto annexed.
Eighth. The sash bar A with the wooden core N, bracket A", grooves E, packing
strips F, and continuous spring clip C, arranged to receive and support the sheets B,
the whole constructed and fitted as herein described and shown at Figures 8 and 9
of the Drawings hereto annexed.
Ninth. Fastening the metal forming the sash bar A to the wooden core N and
bracket A by the rivets O, as herein described and shown at Figures 8 and 9 of
the Drawings hereto annexed.
Teuth. Fastening the clip C to the sash bar A by the screws R, as herein
described and shown at Figures 8 and 9 of the Drawings hereto annexed.
In witness whereof, I, the said Charles Frederick Elliott, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Twenty fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and eighty one.
