An Improved Method of and Means for Carrying Away the Water
of Condensation from Corrugated Iron Roofs or the like.
1, JAMES CARTER, of 2, Fredrick Street, Rowbarton, Taunton, Somerset,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an economical and simple method of carrying away
the water of condensation from corrugated iron roofs and the like which is
particularly suitable for railway stations, goods sheds and all other roofs covered
with corrugated iron, the object being to prevent all drip inside the building.
In carrying my invention into practical effect the condensation gutter is
constructed of zinc, galvanized iron or other suitable material and is arranged
around the sides of the building or shed in such a manner that a portion of the
gutter projects inwardly, so as to catch any drip or moisture, the condensation
gutter being merely fixed upon the facia or plate and turned down into the
ordinary gutter outside, after passing under the corrugated sheets. Suitable
saddles are provided of cast iron, tee iron, galvanized iron or the like and placed
on purlins in each corrugation, the said corrugated sheets holding both condensa-
tion gutter and saddle in their proper positions when fixed, so as to leave a
"clear-way " of about a quarter of an inch for water of condensation or drip.

1, JAMES CARTER, of 2, Fredrick Street, Rowbarton, Taunton, Somerset,
Gentleman, 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 :-
This invention relates to an economical and simple method of carrying away
the water of condensation from corrugated iron roofs and the like, said invention
being particularly applicable to railway stations, goods sheds, and all other roofs
covered with corrugated iron, for the purpose of preventing all dripping inside
the building.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will describe same
with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a cross section through a portion of a roof showing application of
condensation gutter.

page_text: Fig. 2 shows application of condensation saddle on purlin.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through a portion of the roof showing the
condensation saddles in position.
Fig. 4 is a full size section of condensation gutter and
Fig. 5 is a full size side elevation of condensation saddle.
In carrying my invention into practical effect the condensation gutter g (Figs. 1
and 4) is formed of zinc, galvanized iron or other suitable material and is arranged
around the sides s¹ of the building or shed in such a manner that a portion of
the gutter projects inwardly so as to catch any moisture or drip, the said gutter
being merely fixed upon the facia or plate and turned down into the ordinary
gutter g' outside the building, after passing under the corrugated sheets.
Suitable saddles s are provided of cast iron, T-iron, galvanized iron or other
suitable material, and placed on purlins p (Fig. 2) in each corrugation, the said
corrugated sheets of the roof r holding the condensation gutter and saddle in their
proper positions when fixed, so as to leave about a quarter of an inch clearway for
the water of condensation or drip to pass.
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 improved method of and means for carrying away the water of
condensation from corrugated iron roofs or the like, comprising the arrangement
of the condensation gutter g in combination with saddles such as supported
upon purlin p, substantially as herein described and shown and for the purposes
specified.
2. The improved method of and means for carrying away the water of
condensation from corrugated iron roofs or the like, substantially as herein
described and shown and for the purposes specified.
