Patented Mar. 7, 1911;

G W m Cir THOMAS E. JAMESON, OF VIEEPING WATER, NEBRASKA.

METAL BUILDING-CORNER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS F. JAMESON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Weeping ater, in the county of Cass and State of Nebraska, have invented new and useful Improvements in Metal Building- Corners, of which the following is a specification.

his invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in metal building corners, and the object of the invention is to provide a simple, novel and inexpensive article of this nature which can be easily and quickly applied and which will be of efficiency in use. Further and other objects will later herein appear.

In the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of the device; Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2*2 of Fig. 4 showing the relationship between the adjacent corners when in use; Fig. 3 is a. section taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 4 is a section taken on the line 44 of Fig. 2.

The invention consists of two right angularly disposed members 1 and 2, the members being longitudinally corrugated or ribbed as shown in the drawings, and being arrai'iged so that they flare with respect to each other at their bottoms, the two members being cut so as to make a neat and close oint as'depicted in the drawings as at 8, and being soldered or otherwise suitably secured together. At the lower ends of the two members there is secured a ball-like hollow element 4 which is formed of metal, and which is suitably secured to the side memhers I and 2. The ball extends over the union or joint 3 and projects below the lower ends of the side members 1 and 2.

As depicted in the drawings the device is applied to the corners of a wooden building, the boxing of the latter being shown at 5 and the siding at (3, the side members 1 and 2 engaging the siding and the joint 3 together with the spherical member 4 inclosing the corner proper. As shown in Fig. 2

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed July 16, 1910.

Patented Mar. 7, 1911.

Serial No. 572,340.

of the drawings which illustrates the relationship borne between the corners in use, the spherical member 4 has its lower end inclosing and receiving the bottom sides of the siding G, the lowermost point of the ball or spherical member 4t engaging with the adj a cent upper ends of the side members of the adjacent metal corner.

It will be seen from the above that a fin ished appearance is thus given the corner of the building, and one which furthermore is water and weather proof and which adds to the ornamental and attractive appearance of the structure. Moreover, the article can be cheaply and quickly made and can be easily applied in position.

It will be seen that by virtue of the corrn gations the corners will have an increased value for purpose of draining or carrying oft rain and the like.

What is claimed as new is:

1. A metallic corner for buildings, composed of a pair of members arranged at right angles to each other and disposed so as to flare slightly at their lower ends, means for connecting said members together, and a hollow ball secured to said members and projecting downwardly below the lower ends thereof. v

2. A metallic corner composed of a pair of corrugated members arranged at right angles to each other, and a ball at the lower ends of and at the juncture between said members and extending onto and connected to each.

3. A metallic corner for buildings and the like, composed of a pair of members arranged at right angles to each other, a hollow ball connected to each member and depending from the lower ends thereof.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

THOMAS F. JAMESON.

Witnesses EDWARD A. SMITH, J. HUFFMAN.
