UNITED STATES PATENT QEFICE GEORGE H. `IAGELS, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

IMPROVEMENT IN ORNER-STRIPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 149,413, dated April 7, 1874 application tiled March 14, 1874.

To all whom t 'may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. PAGELS, of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented an Improved Corner-Strip for Plastered Walls, of which the following is a specitication:

The object of my invention is to produce an improved metal corner-strip for the corners of walls which are to be plastered, as a substitute for the wooden strip now commonly used for that purpose.

To make my strip I take thin plate-iron of the kind commonly known as flue-iron, and cut it into Strips of about two inches in width Y for ordinary plaster-ing, or wider for pl astering of extraordinary thickness. I then cut these strips on one side, from the edge to about a central line, longitudinally, between the two edges, completely separating the metal at intervals of from two to three inches, more or less, the whole length ot' the strip, and bend the portions of metal between said cuts alternately to the right and left, at right angles to each other, thus forming a series of wings to embrace and tit onto the rectangular corner of the wall, so that the uncut side will stand out at an angle of one hundred and thirty-.tive degrees from each wall, forming a flange or feather to receive the plastering. The width of this lange must of course be varied to correspond with the thickness of the plastering to be applied.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a section ot' my cornerstrip. Fig. 2 is an end view of a cross-section of the same, and Fig. 3 a similar View of the same applied to a Wall.

A is the uncut side of the strip; B B', the wings to fit onto the wall. O, Fig. 3, is the wall, to which said strip is attached, and D is therplastering. The wings B B are perforated with holes b b', for nailing them to the wall, and the flan ge A has also a series of apertures, a a, through it, to key the plastering. rllhe edge of the liange A is beveled on both sides to a knife-edge.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The improved corner-strip consisting of' the flange A and the win gs B B', substantially as described.

GEORGE H. PAGELS.
