Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed August 30, 1909.
Patented Sept. 19, 1911. Serial No. 515,222.
I '0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JosEPI-I FREUND, of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gutter-Tiles, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in wh1ch Figure 1 is a transverse section of a building, showing one form of my improved gutter tile in position; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of one of the tiles; Fig. 3 is a similar view.
from the opposite side thereof; F i s. 4, 5 and 6 are end views showing tiles of different depths used in forming a gutter; Fig. 7 is a side elevation of the tile shown in Fig. 6; Fig. 8 is a longitudinal section through a gutter formed of my improved tiles; Fig. 9 is an end view of a tile used for a valley gutter between two pitched roofs; and Fig. 10 is a section on the line XX of Fig. 3.
My invention relates to gutter tiles; and the object of the invention is, to provide a tile of this character which can be readily joined end to end to other tiles of like character to form a gutter of the desired length, and which can readily be supported by the walls of an adjacent building, or by the wall of the building itself.
In the drawings, the numeral 2 designates a building, 3 a roof, 4: the gutter tile embodying my invention, 5 the wall of an adj aeent building, and 6 an angle iron which is selcured to this wall to support the gutter ti es.
The tiles t consist each of an inclined body portion 4e, adapted to the pitch of the roof adjacent to the gutter, and having at its lower side a gutter depression 7. In the 1 single form of tile shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8 and 10, the outer wall of the gutter is extended upwardly to form a flange 7 having therein a groove 8 adapted to engage a suitable support, such as the angle irons 6, shown in Fig. 1. One end of each tile has an external rib 9, preferably of rounded or convex form; and the opposite end is formed with the bead 10, having therein a concave groove 10 to receive the rounded rib 9 of the next tile, as shown in Fig. 8. These ribs and grooves extend the full width of the tile and gutter portion, so that adjacent tiles will be engaged with each other across their full width. The free edge of the bead 10 is also preferably concaved, as shown at 10". Each tile also has an external supporting rib 12, intermediate its ends, this rib 12 and the head 10 forming the support for the sloping body of the tile. In constructing a gutter, the requisite number of these tiles are placed end to end, as shown in Fig. 8, the rib 9 on one tile being interfitted with the bead 10 of the next tile; and the joints thus formed being filled with cement 11. Cement is also preferably placed in the concave edges of the beads 10*: The gutter depression 7 of each tile has a slight longitudinal slope or incline, as shown, and each successive tile has its gutter portion of increased depth, thereby providing for a continuous fall throughout the length of the gutter. The tile at the lowest portion of the gutter has a discharge or down-take 1 1, to which the usual downspout can be attached.
If desired, the tiles may be reinforced by metallic reinforcing members 13.
In Fig. 9 I have shown a modified form of gutter tile, which is to be used at the lower edges of what is known as a valley roof, and in which the gutter receives the water from both roofs. In this form, the tile has a sloping portion 15 at each side of the gutter 16. In this case, the tile will be supported by the structure supporting the roofs.
The advantages of my invention result from the provision of a simple form of tile which can be readily molded from cement, clay, or similar material; which can be securely joined to other similar tiles without the use of separate joint members; and which can be readily and securely supported on a roof structure.
Changes may be made in the form and arrangement of the tile without departing from my invention.
I claim:
1. A gutter tile, havingasloping body portion, a transversely sloping gutter at its lowest portion, an upwardly extending member from the gutter portion, and a horizontally disposed transverse groove in the upwardly extending portion arranged to receive a horizontally disposed supporting member, the groove being arranged to prevent both upward and downward movement of the tile with relation to the supporting member; substantially as described.
2. A gutter composed of a plurality of tiles placed end to end, each of said tiles having means along one edge for supporting an adjacent tile, an upwardly extending member from the gutter portion of each tile,
and a horizontally disposed transverse groove in the upwardly extending portion arranged to receive a horizontally disposed supporting member, the groove being arranged to prevent both upward and down ward movement of the tile with relation to the supporting member; substantially as described.
3. A gutter, composed of a plurality of tiles placed end to end, each of said tiles having a rib at one end, and a grooved head at the opposite end, the rib of one tile filling the groove in the bead of the adjacent tile, an upwardly extending member from the gutter portion of each tile, anda horizontally disposed transverse groove in the upwardly extending portion arranged to receive a horizontally disposed supporting member, the groove being arranged to prevent both upward and downward movement of the tile with relation to the supporting member; substantially as described.
4. A gutter, composed of a plurality of tiles placed end to end, each of said tiles having an external rib at one end, a lip at the opposite end having two grooves, the rib v JOSEPH FREUND.
