IMPROVEMENTS IN PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Year: 1872

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Alfred Moore, of No. 356, Euston Road, in the
County of Middlesex, and Arthur Charles Moore, of Liverpool, in
the County of Lancaster, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Alfred Moore and
Arthur Charles Moore at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents,
with their Petition, on the 23rd February 1872.
We, ALFRED MOORE, of No. 356, Euston Road, in the County of
5 Middlesex, and ARTHUR CHARLES MOORE, of Liverpool, in the County
of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN ROLL CAPS FOR SHEET METAL ROOFING," to be as follows:-
One part of our Invention consists in forming the stop end of sheet
metal roll caps from out of the metal of the roll cap itself, instead of
forming such stop end of a separate piece soldered on to the roll cap,
as has been done heretofore. For this purpose we flatten down the

page_text: end of the roll cap, the lateral portions of such flattened end being
folded in underneath the same so as to give to the stop end the same
configuration as the roll cap, and to prevent water from penetrating the
same.
"
Another part of our Invention consists in forming the "saddle piece'
of the roll cap which lies against the side of the ridge of the roof
from out of the solid metal of the roll cap itself, without the use of
any solder whatever, instead of soldering such "saddle piece" to the end
of the roll cap as heretofore. For this purpose we flatten out the upper
end of the roll cap, and bend it upward at such an angle as may be
necessary for it to fit against the ridge or against the wall, in the case of
lean-to roofs.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Alfred Moore and Arthur Charles Moore in the
Great Seal Patent Office on the 21st August 1872.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, we, ALFRED
MOORE, of No. 356, Euston Road, in the County of Middlesex, and
ARTHUR CHARLES MOORE, of Liverpool, in the County of Lancaster,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-third day of February, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, in the
thirty-fifth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors,
give and grant unto us, the said Alfred Moore and Arthur Charles
Moore, Her special licence that we, the said Alfred Moore and Arthur
Charles Moore, our executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others
as we, the said Alfred Moore and Arthur Charles Moore, our executors,
administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no
others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term
therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and
vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the
Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN
ROLL CAPS FOR SHEET METAL ROOFING," upon the condition (amongst others)
that we, the said Alfred Moore and Arthur Charles Moore, our

page_text: Having thus described the nature of our Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, we claim,—
First. Forming the stop ends of sheet metal roll caps by flattening
and bending to the required form the metal of the cap itself, substantially
as herein described.
Second. Forming the "saddle pieces" of sheet metal roll caps by
flattening and bending to the required form the metal of the cap itself,
substantially as herein described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Alfred Moore, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-first day of August, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two.
