A Method of Fixing Leaded Glass to Ornamental and other Grills,
Fire Screens, Lantern Lights, Window Blinds, and the like.
1, CHARLES HENRY WORLEY of No. 62 Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square
in the County of London, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows
11
My invention relates to the fixing of leaded glass, that is to say, the coloured
glass which is usually put together in pieces of various shapes and sizes in a framing
of lead, the transverse section of which is in the form of an H. In fixing such glass
to ornamental or other grills, it is usual to support it by sheets of plain glass fixed
on either side, or saddle bars to which the lead is fixed with copper clips, but this
is objectionable as it prevents access to both sides for cleaning and is not burglar
proof. According to my invention, I make the grills to which the leaded glass is to
be fixed with grooves into which the two outer limbs of the H lead which are
unoccupied by glass are forcibly inserted. The grills, instead of having continuous
grooves, may be made with projections at intervals between which the limbs of the
H lead are held. Or instead of grooves in which the lead is engaged, there may
be beads or fillets projecting from the grills so that when the glass is placed with
one outer limb of the H bearing against the one side of the bead or fillet, the other
outer limb, which had been bent aside to admit the glass, is bent back against the
other side of the bead or fillet which is thus engaged between the two limbs of
the H. Instead of the bead or fillet being continuous, it may consist of parts
projecting at intervals.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Method of Fixing Leaded Glass to Ornamental and other Grills,
Fire Screens, Lantern Lights, Window Blinds, and the like.
1, CHARLES HENRY WORLEY, of No. 62 Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square,
in the County of London, Architect, 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 :-
My invention relates to the fixing of leaded glass that is to say the coloured
glass which is usually put together in pieces of various shapes and sizes in a framing
of lead, the transverse section of which is in the form of an H. In fixing such
glass to ornamental or other grills it is usual to support it by sheets of plain glass
fixed on either side, but this is objectionable as it prevents access to both sides for
cleaning. According to my invention, I make the grills to which the leaded glass
is to be fixed with fillets on which the two outer limbs of the H lead which are
unoccupied by glass are engaged. The grills, instead of having continuous fillets,
inay be made with projections at intervals entering between the limbs of the H lead.
To fit the lead on the fillets, one of the limbs of the H is bent outwards to
pass the fillet and is then bent back, the fillet being thus engaged in the gap
of the H.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
The herein described method of fixing leaded glass by securing the glass
between two limbs of a framing of H section made of lead or other sufficiently
flexible metal, and securing this framing by engaging the other limbs of the Hon
fillets or projections of bars of the grill or frame which the glass has to occupy.
