TILE-IMITATING lLROOEING.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 26, il 915.

Application filed November 2, 1914. Serial No. 869,930.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER S. SPIE- GEL, citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tile-Imitating Roofing, of which the following is a specification.

ing and consists in making such roofing in imitation of tile. The imitation tile roofing may be made 'either in shingle form or in a roll.

The invention consists essentially in placing wooden sticks at intervals between layers of composite roofing to give the ridge effect of tile.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is aA plan view of the improved roofing; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view, and Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional View; Fig. 4 shows a modification.

In the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates a flat sheet of rooiing which comprises the bottom or base of the new roofing.

2 indicates sticks of wooden or other suitable material, such as metal, that is half round with the flat face againstthe iat sheet 1. vThese sticks may be varied, however, fromvhalf round to suit conditions.

3 indicates a top layer of roofing secured to the bottom 1 and passing over the sticks 2. The` two sheets are cemented together and to the sticks by hot compound 4.

The .top sheet in passing over the sticks 2 give the resemblance of the ridge of roofing tiles. This roofing is preferably made in strips so that when in place on a roof they will appear as in Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 3, the bottom sheet l is as wide as the sticks 2 are long but the top sheetSis slightly wider as at 4.-, so that when in `place this eX- tension 4: will overlap the joint made bythe sticks and bottom sheet as at 5. The roofing is held in place on the roof by nails driven through the sticks under the overlap 4.

If it is desired to have this roofing in shingle form, it would be constructed the same way as the strips except that these would be cut into shingles as seen in Fig. 4.

` They would be laid with their longitudinal This invention relates to composite roofedges overlapping as at 6, as well as with the transverse end overlap 4. Whenever the roofing is laid, all the sticks are in straight rows and their ends contact with each other.

Vhile I have described a plurality of layers or sheets. and this is the preferred forni of the roofing. the base sheet or sheets may be omitted without departing from the v spirit of my invention, nor do I limit myself to the inserts being of any particular material.

I claim 1. A. tile imitating roofing formed of a plurality of layers of roofing and independent insert strips between said layers to form ridges.

2. A tile imitating rooting formed of a plurality of layers of roofing and independent strips cemented therebetween to form ridges.

3. A tile imitating roofing formed of a pluralityv of layers of rooting overlapping at their lower edges and independent strips of less length inserted therebetween to form ridges.

L1. A tile imitating roofing comprising a layer of flexible material with strips secured on the under face of the said layer and suitably secured in place to form ridges in imitation of tile on the outer face of the layer. the said layer being of greater length than the strips, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, I aiiiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

AALEXANDER S. SPIEGEL.
