ROOFING-SHNGLE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 31, 1915.
Application led July 20, 1914, Serial No. 851,999. Renewed July 6, 1915. Serial No. 38,258.
To all whomc't may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSHUA MURRAY, a citizen of the -United States, residing at Pender, in the county of Thurston and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Roofing-Shingles, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in roong and more particularly to metallic shingles, the main object of the present invention being the provision of a metallic shingle which can be readily laid upon the sheathing or other roof boards, capable of being overlapped and interlocked so as to e'ectually prevent rain from beating in'under the shingles or in any other manner getting into the roof boards. t
Another object of the present 'invention is the provision of a roofing device of the above character which will possess advantages in points of eliiciency and durability, is inexpensive to manufacture and, at the same time, is simple in construction and operation.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter referred to and more particularly pointed out in the specication and claims.
ln the accompanying drawing forming a part of this application, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a section of roofing constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view illustrating in part the manner of connecting certain of the sections. Fig. 3 is a detail plan view, parts thereof being broken away and illustrated in section. Fig. l is a detail perspective view of one edge. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective View of one of the connecting plates; and Fig. 6 isl a detail perspective view of one of the edge clamping members.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 indicates one of the sheathing boards of the rooj:l and mounted thereon is my improved roong which includes the sections 2 and 3, the section 2 being designated as the main sections and having their longitudinal edges bent upon themselves to form channels 5. rlhe ianges which form the channels 5, project beyond the overlapped portions at each endof the sections 2 to form tongues 7 and 8, the tongue 7 overlapping the tongue 8, when the section 3 is arranged in position between two of the sections 2, whereby these tongues will assist in binding against the lapped joints formed by the engaging fianges 6 and 9 and 9 and 10, the flanges 9 being formed upon the ends of the sections 3.
rlhe opposite ends of the sections 3 are provided with engaging portions which are adapted to engage the channel portions G and l0 upon the sections 2 to detachably connect two of the main sections which are generally indicated by the numeral 2. In view of the fact that the tongues 8 engage beneath the tongues 7 formed by the flanges 5, they will securely retain the sections against lateral or outward movement and, at the same time, securely hold them in their' effective positions. In order to securely retain the sections in position, at the longitudinal edges thereof, l provide the binding strips 11 which are preferably formed of metal and of the same weight as the roofing material and adapted to engage over the edges and be secured to the sheathing or roofing and retain the shingles against lateral movement and, at the same time, assist in binding the connections between the flanges 6 and 9 and the flanges 10 and 9. It will be understood that in laying these shingles in position, the upper edges of the first layer of sections may be secured to the ridge board in any suitable manner and the lower edge of the last section laid in position, will be secured to the cornice.
lt will be apparent from the foregoing that in placing the sections in position, one of the sections 2 is iirst secured to the ridge of the roof. The upper end of the section 3 is then engaged with the channel portion 10 at the lower end of the section 2, the tongue 8 of the Section 2 overlapping the sections 3 and extending down beyond the central portion thereof. A second one of the sections 2 is then arranged so that the upper channel portion 6 thereof will engage with the opposite channel portion of the section 3, the tongue 7 formed at the opposite end of the section 2 overlapping the section 3 and the tongue 8, said tongue bearing against the joints between the sections 2 and 3 to assist in retaining them in position. At the outer edge of the rooting, as illustrated in F ig. 3, the channel member 1l is arranged over the edges of each of the sections to assist in retaining them in position and in arranging a series of sections in longitudinal relation, the channels formed by bending the edges thereof, are engaged with each other, whereby any number of the sections may be laid upon a roof.
It will be apparent from the foregoing that I have provided a simple and durable means for roof shingles, whereby the sections thereof may bc quickly and readily connected together, for application to a roof, and, at the same time, should it be desired to remove them, they can be quickly and readily detached. It ivill also be apparent that the device is so arranged that the rain beating against the roof will be quickly carried off and may readily flow over the roof, without any danger of its forcing its way under the roof shingles and between the roof boards.
My device, as herein shown and described, is extremely simple in construction and, at the same time, can be placed upon the market at a comparatively 10W cost.
In Fig. 7, I have illustrated a connection between two of the sections 2, thus eliminating the necessity of the connecting section 3. In this form of the invention, the overlapping flanges 6 and 10 are engaged with each other and the tongues7 and 8 are cut con siderably shorter so that they will only overlap the connecting parts of the sectionsto assist in retaining them in their effective positions. v
Having thus described this invention, what I claim is 1. Roofing consisting of body shingles having their ends bent upon themselves in opposite directions to form engaging flanges, connecting portions having their ends bent upon themselves in opposite directions and adapted for engagement with the flanges on the ends of the body sections and the longitudinal edges of said body sections being bent upon themselves to form engaging flanges, and the ends of each of said side flanges projecting beyond the cnds of the body sections aiid'adapted to overlap each other on to the connecting sections, as and for the purpose set forth.
2. Roofing consisting of body shingles having their ends bent upon themselves in opposite directions to forni engaging flanges, connecting portions having their ends bent upon themselves in opposite directions and adapted for engagement with the flanges on the ends of the body sections and the longitudinal edges of said body sections being bent upon themselves to form engaging flanges, the ends of each of said side flanges projecting beyond the ends of the body sections and adapted to overlap each other on the connecting sections, and a binding strip provided with a channel whereby to engage over the outer edge of the roofing to assist thel side flanges and tongues in retaining the connections in position.
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
