SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 535,091, dated March 5, 1895.
Application filed November 26, 1894. Serial No. 530,046. '(No model.)
722 all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM ADDISON BURNHAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Irvington, in the county of Westchester and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Gutter and Cornice-Plate for Horticul tural Buildings, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to glass structures for horticultural or like pu rposes and particularly to the construction and arrangementof parts at the cornice or eaves where the side wall joins the slanting roof, my object being to sim plify the construction, to reduce the vertical section of the parts so that the least possible shadow will be cast upon the plants and without extra expense to increase the durability.
My invention consists in a combined gutter and side plate of special form adapted to form the direct connection between the side wall and roof and of sufficient strength to support the frame work of the building and of sufflcient capacity to carry off all the water.
Inthe accompanying drawihgsz-Figure 1 represents a transverse section of the gutter with a portion of the roof and side wall connected therewith. Fig. 2 shows the inner side of the structure. Fig. 3 isa detail view showing the lower end of the sash bar with its extension.
The gutter comprises a main back plate 1 extending vertically and secured by angleirons or brackets 2 to the sides of the iron beams or rafters 3. From the upper edge of this back plate an inclined glazing flange at extends upward or inwardly and against the inner edge of this flange the lower end of the sash bars 8 abut being securely heldin place by the clamps 6 secured to the under side of flange and embracing the lower ends of the bar. This clamp forms the subject matter of an application for a United States patent filed by me of an even date herewith, Serial No. 530,045, and needs no particular description herein. By this manner of supporting the sash bars the shoulders 7 for supporting the glass are brought in line with the upper surface of the flange and the glass is lapped over the joint between the sash bar and the edge of the glazing flange where it rests upon the upper inclined face of the said glazing flange. I prefer to form this glazing flange solid with the gutter. The sash bar has an extensionS adapted to rest against the inclined face of the flange. From the lower part of the back plate of the gutter the curved gutter portion 10, extends laterally curving upward and outward and ending in a rounded rib atits outer end. The back plate is extended downwardly as at 8 below this curved gutter portion and thus is adapted to receive the upper end of the side wall or the ventilator sash and where the ventilator is combined with the gutter it will be hinged to the thickened portion 11 by the hinge 12. This gutter as before stated conforms accurately to the joint between the roof and side wall of the structure and fits directly against the front edges of the iron rafters and side standards. direct connection between the roof and the side wall and not only serves as a gutter, but as a supporting truss for the roof structure. The vertical section of this combined gutter supporting truss and connection between the side wall and the roof is from four to six inches and the least possible shadow is cast thereby upon the plants in the house. No sills or beams of any kind are required at the cornice as the combined cornice plate meets all requirements.
It will be understood that as the broad principle of my invention lies in the combining of the corner plate and gutter I do not wish to limit myself to any particular form of gutter as this may be varied without departing from my invention.
By arranging the parts so that the lower ends of the sash bars bear on the edge of the glazing flange, the clamp or holding device may be left open at its lower end so the lower end of the bar which liesin alower plane than the glazing flange will be left exposed and free for the escape of drippings.
I claim 1. In combination, the beams and rafters 8, the combined gutter and cornice comprising the inclined flange, the laterally extending gutter and the vertical portion, the angle iron 2, for securing the vertical portion to the beam or rafters, the sash bars and the clamps secured to the under side of the inclined flange, substantially as described.
It forms the sole and 2. In combination, the beams or rafters, the combined gutter and cornice comprising the inclined glazing flange and the laterally extending gutter portion and the socket or clamp for receiving the sash bar, said socket being open at the top adjacent to the glazing flange and having a bottom and sides, substantially as described.
3. In combination the combined gutter and cornice plate comprising the inclined glazing flange, the vertical portion and the laterally extending portion, the rafters, the connection between the same and the Vertical portion, the depending flange, the side Wall fitting against the same and under the gutter por tion and the sash bar and glass held by the glazing flange, substantially as described.
4. In combination the cornice plate having the gutter and the inclined flange, the clamp or socket extending from the under side of the flange inwardly and having an 'open top portion adjacent to the flange with a bottom and sides, the sash barheld in the said clamps and bearing against the edge of the flange with a portion extending over the same and the glass resting upon the said glazing flange, substantially as described.
5. In combination, the cornice plate having the glazing flange, the sash bars having their lower ends resting against the edge of said flange, the main portion of the bar with the drip grooves being in a lower plane than the flange and the holding means below the glazing flange engaging the lower end of the bar, said means being open to leave the lower end of the bar exposed for the escape of dripping's, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I afflx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
WV. ADDISON BURNHAM.
