Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. Only the patent drawing is available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“For a mode of Making Roofs for Buildings in Brick Yards, Tan Yards, Salt Yards, Sugar Manufactories, and for all purposes requiring the sun and air, occasionally, and the ability to exclude rain, snow, &c.; Nathaniel Adams, Marlboro, Ulster County, New York, July 29.
The roof is to consist of leaves, or shutters, about four feet in width, which are to be hung to the plate, and ridge pole, upon pivots. When turned edgewise, they admit the sun and air, freely, and when flatwise, form a continued roof. Battens run down one edge, to close the joints when shut, and a strip is attached to each leaf, to hold it open, more or less, as may be required.”
