UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.
THOMAS O. MOORE, OF MARION, INDIANA.
IMPROVED EAVES-TROUGH.l
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 52,438, dated February 6, 1866.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THOMAS C. MOORE, of the town of Marion, in the county of Grant, in the State of Indiana, have invented anew and Improved Mode of Constructing and Putting on a Metallic Eaves Trough on Buildings; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had 'to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists iu so making an eavesgutter that its front side will constitute the top part of the cornice and the other part will have the pitch of the root', the angle between the two forming the trough or gutter.-
In constructing my cornice-trough I prefer making the front part of ogee pattern, as seen by B in the drawings, and I make it in the following manner: Tin plate fourteen by twenty inches I find a convenient size to take; but smaller or larger metal sheets may be used, if desired. These I run, one 0r more at a time, through rolls, so as to forni one-third of an eight or nine inch circle. This being done, I form the bead A on the top or outer edge. I then form my trough by laying a sheet on the work-bench, with the concave side down over the edge ofthe bench. This done, I take hold ot' the bead and bend the sheet up in an oval form two and a halt' to three and a half inches from the bead A-inore or less, according'to the desired depth of the spout-thus forming the lower part of the ogee as well as the angle or gutter. In this operation the part D must in some way be held down to the bench. The several sheets, after being prepared in this way, are laid together the desired length, each sheet at the joint overlappin g one-halfto threefourths of an inch, which I solder on both sides, being careful to keep the bead and moldings below it straight. After making sec- To prepare the building for my trough the rafters should extend over the side ofthe plate from three inches to vany length desired the cornice should project, their ends being sawed od' vertically. The lower sheeting should be put on aud the wood part of the cornice, with the crown-mold, dressed on a pitch with the roof. After placing my trough on the sheeting, I slide it down until the lower edge ot' the molding or ogee rests on the outeredge ot' the crown-mold 5 then tack the upper edge of D to the sheeting. Having my trough together and to its place, I see the bead and molding are straight, after which I nail it down with suitable-sized nails through the bottom of the oval B to the crown-mold B. tin over the heads ofthe nails and put in the tube or spout C, supposing the cornice and trough to be properly prepared. The roofnow being ready for the shingles, the butts of the lower course should come down over the upper edge of D or bottom of the trough some four or six inches, orto the stays E. Sufficient fall should be given either iii the building or in the cornice to run off the-water.
It will thus be seen my metallic-cornice eavestrough can be easily constructed, and when properly put up should be durable, avoid any overflow or leakage, and as a matter oi" economy, also, has an advantage over the ordinary spouting or eaves-gutters, and is much neater and ornamental.
What, therefore, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent ot' the United States, is
The combination, in an eaves-trough, of' a finished cornice, A B, on one side and a guardsheet, D, on the other, when both are made Ot' continuous metal and the guard-sheet is placed upon the sheeting ot' the root', its upper edge covered by the shingles or tiles, and the cornice side is secured substantially as described, for the purpose of having an ornamental eavestrough.
