PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Glazing Roofs, Horticultural Buildings,
and the like.
I, GEORGE DEACON, of Lower Thrift Street, Northampton, in the County of
Northamptonshire, Horticultural Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
:―
My invention relates to an improved method of glazing roofs horticultural
buildings and the like, and consists of a bar or rafter of wood with a groove cut
longitudinally. In the aforesaid groove 1 insert a strip of lead with an iron bar in
the centre. The sheet lead is bent outwards to form the lapping strips to
cover or secure the edges of the glass. The glass has a bearing on the bar
or rafter similar to the ordinary rebate, and the lead strips pressed down to secure
the glass.
The bars or rafters to which the strips of lead and iron bars are inserted in the
grooves may be of any suitable section, and of any material.
The object of my invention is to be able to rest a plank on the iron bars of the
rafters for cleaning the glass without damaging the said glass; or to remove the
glass from the rafters or bars by raising the lead strips.
If preferable the bars or rafters may be constructed in two halves or the like,
so as to form the groove and to secure the iron bar and lead together by metallic
screws.
Temporary buildings can be erected and removed by this system more readily
than by the ordinary glazing process now in common use.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and that
the shapes materials and parts may be varied in many ways within the
Invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Glazing Roofs, Horticultural Buildings,
and the like.
I, GEORGE DEACON, of Lower Thrift Street, Northampton, in the County of
Northamptonshire, Horticultural Builder, 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 an improved method of glazing roofs horticultural
buildings and the like.
I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing,
In which
-
Fig. 1 is a transverse section of the bar with the lead over-lapping the edges of
he glass;
Fig. 2, is a transverse section of the rafter constructed in two halves ;
Fig. 3, is a transverse section of the rafter constructed with a rebate and fillet.
Parts of these figures are broken off for want of space.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
This invention consists of a bar or rafter d of wood with a groove cut longi-
udinally. In the aforesaid groove I insert a strip of lead b with an iron bar a in
[Price 8d.]

page_text: the centre. The sheet lead b is bent outwards to form the lapping strips to cover
or secure the elges of the glass c. The glass c has a bearing on the bar or
rafter d similar to the ordinary rebate, and the lead strips & pressed down to secure
the glass.
The bars or rafters d to which the strips of lead and iron bars are inserted in
the grooves may be of any suitable section and of any material..
The object of my invention is to be able to rest a plank on the iron bars of the
rafters for cleaning the glass without damaging the said glass; or to remove the
glass from the rafters or bars by raising the lead strips.
If preferable the bars or rafters may be constructed in two halves as in Fig. 2,
or with a rebate and fillet e as in Fig. 3, so as to form the groove and to secure the
iron bar and lead together by metallic screws.
Temporary buildings can be erected and removed by this system more readily
than by the ordinary glazing process now in common use.
It will be understood that the foregoing is given by way of illustration, and
that the shapes materials and parts may be varied in many ways within the scope
of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1. The combination of the groove and the rafter d iron bar a and lead for
glazing, substantially as herein described and according to Fig. 1, of the accom-
panying drawing.
2. The combination of the groove and the rafter d in two halves with the iron
bar a and lead secured together by metallic screws, substantially as herein
described and according to Fig. 2, of the accompanying drawing.
3. The combination of the rafter d with rebate and fillet e bar a and lead b
secured together by metallic screws, substantially as herein described and according
to Fig. 3, of the accompanying drawing.
