See detailed drawings below showing the starting and alignment procedures used during construction. 1.2 shows a typical structure using a sloped roof structure 22 and vertical side walls 24. A conventional building 20 is shown. The roof and walls shall be connected end to end in each horizontal step or row. Formed by several new and improved architectural tunnels 3o arranged together. The outer tabs are covered with a weathered surface. As is clear from Figure 2, the order Each next higher middle guner overlaps the top of the adjacent lower step or row. .

Each architectural gunnel 30 is made of compression molded wood fiber or hard fiberboard of uniform thickness. It is made of (hardwood) and has a rectangular shape as shown in Figure 3.4. ie monel , an elongated upper edge or head 34 and a lower edge or base 34 parallel to it and exposed to the weather. It includes a relatively flat planar back surface 32 defined by an edge 36. Figure 3.5 The noel is perpendicular to the upper and lower edges, forming a biflat surface, and the opposing left and right end surfaces It has 38.40. As shown in Fig. 5 for easy understanding, these end faces have the same common Adjacent end surfaces of flanges joined end-to-end in a step or row face closely together.

The joint formed between the adjacent end faces 38, 40 of the parallel gunnels stands upright at the upper end. By the rain cutter element 42 made of note metal with head flantz 42a The rain is cut off. 7 runno 42.8 fits over the top edge or head 34 of the architectural panel. , the drainage elements are fixed in place on the roof or wall and belong to one tier or row. Draining is located on the underside of the joint between the edges of adjacent panels. sun and hot weather To allow for expansion of the tunnel due to heating and temperature rise caused by exposure to There is usually a small gap between adjacent opposite ends 38.40 of a pair of monels belonging to a row. Alternatively, a space 4-44 is provided. Metal draining elements are suitable for these joints. Run the next lowest row along the outside surface of the panel, leaving no water that has entered the cap or space. Or let it flow down the stairs.

Architectural panel 3o in Figure 4.6 is similar to the /ya panel in Figure 6.5, but each The opposite ends of the notebook are provided with overlapping end surfaces 38S and 40S. The difference is that a metal draining element is not used. As shown in Figure 6, When the flannel is arranged with one end joined, the upper side of the flannel ends 38S and 405 directly facing each other A part or gap 44 is provided in a small space between the segments, and a wedge-shaped joint is formed. The lower portion 39 of Forms a flannel bottom, and allows water and water droplets accumulated there to flow down to the next lowest layer or flannel level. let

According to the present invention, the outer side, that is, the surface 50 exposed to the wind and rain is formed on the construction wall 3o. , this surface 5o is similar to the back surface 3 except for slight changes in thickness due to unevenness and grooves, which will be described later. It is almost parallel to 2. The outer surface of each tunnel 30 is relatively flat along the upper edge. segment to give a smooth narrow strip or head overlapping segment 52. This strip area accounts for only a small portion of the total surface area of the entire architectural tunnel. It only occupies a small part. The narrow head overlap segment along the upper edge 34 is When a gunnel is placed in a predetermined position in an adjacent upper row or step, each consecutive gunnel located on the underside of the narrow strip on the back surface 32 along the bottom of the channel or channels. (See Figure 2). When placed in place as shown, the narrow and heavy Monel section or counter section is a substantially watertight head between successive steps or rows on a wall or roof. form an overlap.

The outside surface of each gunnel exposed to the weather has an uneven surface located below the upper edge 52 of the narrow width. It has a lower surface portion 54 which is connected to the upper edge 34 and the lower exposed bottom wide edge 3. 6 by a thin marker line or shallow groove 56 located parallel to and spaced between. are separated from the upper edge 52.

A shallow groove or line 56 is the next step or row of mother flannel in the wall or roof surface of a building. It serves as a guide when aligning.

In addition, the flange 30 is normally located at the right end face 40.40S of the end mark for step alignment. A short line 58 is provided at the opening. These step alignment marks are While the sidewall construction is in progress, it is aligned with the upper edge of the channel of the next lower step or row.

In accordance with the present invention, the exposed outer surface 54 of the outer surface 50 is arranged in one row as shown. or a plurality of individual shingles of random width and order placed adjacent to draft cattle; It has deep irregularities so that it closely resembles the roofing board 54a. each The shingle board elm) 54a coincides with the lower edge 36 of the overall architectural/mother panel 30. It terminates along the bottom apical edge. Adjacent shingle plate surface 54 is textured. Between each pair of elements 54a, there is a chi-shaped shape shown in enlarged detail in FIGS. 7 to 10. grooves or channels 66 are provided. These grooves or channels are suitable for nailing From the shallow or minimum depth at the upper end adjacent to the inner groove or line 56, the architectural The groove is sized and sloped to the maximum groove depth opening at the bottom bottom end of the groove.

The valley groove disappears before reaching the level of the guideline 56 for nailing, and an uneven moss is created. For each plate element 54a, the outer surfaces of adjacent pairs are equal.

・A chi-shaped groove with deep undulations provided on the lower side of the gunnel, that is, the wide bottom edge 36. Gutters should be connected to wall or roof surfaces made of thick, wide-bottomed cedar shingles or roofing boards. Gives an almost indistinguishable overall appearance. Relatively thick bottom wide edge of each gunnel 3 6, the grooves 66 between each pair of adjacent textured shingle elements 54a are at most , which is smaller than the nominal thickness of the entire tunnel.

The grooves, which gradually increase in depth, are surfaced with thick, wide-bottomed cedar roofing boards. It exhibits a deeply shaded 〃F view that is very similar to the finished building. Groove 66 has a minimum depth Before reaching the head overlapping strip area 52, the nailer is inclined toward the guide guide. Because it disappears at the upper end adjacent to Inn 56, the rain blown by the wind goes up and down. There is almost no possibility that the head will get under the overlapping part between the adjacent mother flannel tiers. stomach. Instead, water overflows from both ends of the gutter at the shallower top of the gutter, causing water to overflow from each side of the gutter to the next. It flows down over the outer surface 54a of the adjacent shingle element. Grooves unique to this invention 66 gives Kira another characteristic as follows. In other words, the construction/mother flannel 30 is a nail. The attachment is made so that it has the nominal total thickness without interruption over its entire length above the guide groove 56. The upper region 52 is the strongest part of the building wall or roof. A fixed installation is made. Therefore, Gunel 30 has strength where it is needed. , peeling and softening of fish scales, which were problems with many conventional shingles and roofing boards. does not occur. In addition, the chi-shaped groove 66 is connected to a plurality of thick wide-bottomed cedar roofing boards. 30, which is very similar to the original roofing board, can be used without the great amount of labor normally required to install this type of roofing board. You can give without needing it. Furthermore, the groove 66 having a unique shape is In addition to significantly improving the appearance of the 0, the fixed area of the head-heavy system lip 52 is - Since the flannel body has the full nominal thickness, strength is not compromised where it is needed.

In addition, the Qi-Mo-shaped grooves exhibit deep shading, making it difficult to install the expensive construction process required for actual roofing boards. Provides the appearance of thick, wide-bottomed roofing boards without the need for any processing. Ru.

As shown in FIG. 11, the column alignment mark 58 of the second column 30 is in the first column is aligned with the top edge 34 of the panel so that the roofer can Helps to align the lower bottom wide edge 36 of the cow panel correctly and parallelly. Pa in the second row Visually check the bottom wide edge of the flannel to align it with the shallow groove or line 56 of the flannel in the first stage. to further ensure that each successive stage is exactly parallel to the end. child The line 56 and the end mark 58 work together to allow the construction craftsman to connect the panels in a continuous manner. When installing each row or row, check the accuracy of head overlap or overlap between the channels. Moreover, it functions so that the correct amount can be easily obtained.

Each tunnel 30 is formed on the outer weather-exposed surface 50 and adjacent the upper edge 34. Step offset guide marks located on the abutting upper head overlap or strip 52 60. The guide mark 60 is located along the upper edge 34 from the right end 40.40S. It is preferable to position it toward the inside at a distance of about 1/3 of the total length of the gunnel. Figure 11 As shown in the figure, the stage offset guide mark belongs to the first stage but is located on the upper edge of the flannel 30. is used to align the right edge 40.40S of the gunnel belonging to the second stage. similar The off-cent guide mark for Gounelle, which belongs to the second row, is for Monet, which belongs to the sixth row. Used to align the right edge 40.40S of the file.

The off-cent guide mark 60 is located inward from one end of the panel. Because they are spaced 1/3 apart, the tier arrangement of the walls is similar to each of the six tiers applied to the walls and roof structure. is repeated for each column.・The position of the offset guide mark on the channel can be adjusted as necessary. You can change the same end interval to a different end interval, for example on a random interval basis, but then Production costs are somewhat higher. However, if you do this, the periodic repetition of successive stages will be There's very little chance of it happening, and you'll literally get a random turn. deer However, the repetition of the tier arrangement in every third tier or row is hardly perceptible to the eye and is therefore aesthetically pleasing. Provides an aesthetically pleasing and economical architectural weather shield.

As shown in Figure 11, the structure of the roof or building wall is spaced outward from the gable edge of the building. Beyond the sawing line L, the left end of the gunnel 38/38 S extends further outward. By applying the first step along the lower edge or eaves so that the surface finish. Next, the first row of continuous grooves joins end to end. They are arranged in rows.

For the second row, the left end 38/38S of the first knot or flannel belonging to this row belongs to the first row. Start by extending the left end of the end gunnel further outward to the left. Ru. Similarly, the leftmost panel of the 6th row is the start of the 2nd row, further to the left. Extends outwards. Finally, these outwardly protruding Monel ends are I Cut along sawing line I. Cut the section according to its length and required covering distance. Depending on the situation, it is often available at the opposite (right) end of the rung or another part of the building structure. the above The installation method may start from the right corner along the lower edge or eave; In this case, the flannel will run from the right side to the left side of the building or roof structure in each tier or row. This is a trench leading to the edge of the gable, and is placed end to end.

・When applying Monel 30 to roof or wall surfaces, use COX veneer with a minimum thickness of 1/2 inch. Installation on the base of a board or equivalent field board or slat is recommended. Noji boards and flooring The boards were covered with 15 pound asphalt felt before installing the 79 flannel on top. It should be covered with a layer of equivalent leaf material.・For fixing the gunnel in place uses nails or staples 62, and these fasteners can be used to secure The nails in the trip area 52 are nailed onto a line or groove 56 and exposed to the elements. Make sure that it doesn't get lost. Galvanized roofing nails and staples are generally preferred. It usually takes 4 or 5 separate pieces to secure a 48' long architectural wall in place. Spaced fixtures are used.

In reality, it is designed to carry at least two or three studs of water. Flannel with a nominal length of 48 inches is preferred and should be used on the lower edges of building walls or roof structures. A narrow starting strip along the eaves of the IJ tube 64 is used for the first stage.

As shown in Figure 2, the lower edge of the starting strip It is spaced upward by a slight distance from the lower side, that is, the thick bottom wide green 36.

A typical commercial embodiment of the invention has a length of approximately 47+3/16 inches and a width of 11+1 3/16 inch and 6 inch wide head between upper edge 34 and needle guide groove line 56 The tunnels 30 are dimensioned so that they overlap. Also, Zonel is officially 7/16 inch thick and packaged in 6-gunnel bundles. With this size, the roof of the building or You only need 6 bundles to cover 100 square feet of wall structure, or 11 squares I. .

The e-nel 30 with such dimensional parameters has 11 squares l to cover. It produces a weight of approximately 240 pounds per surface area. This weight is comparable to many asphalt The weight is equal to 1,000 square meters, but it is necessary to cover a surface area of 11 square l. ・Ya Nell 30 has a big advantage in that it only requires a small number of panels (66). do. Panel 30 can be used on roofs with a 4-inch or steeper slope by 12 inches. It is preferred for new construction and for wall boarding over old material already in place. It is economical whether used for re-roofing.
