To all 1.0 [mm it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM MoLEoD,
I architect, citizen of the British Empire,"re-
siding at Victoria avenue, town ofWangannl Dominion of New Zealand, have invented new and useful Improvements'in Roofing and Walling, of which the followmg is a specification.
This invention relates to the roofing and walling of buildings, and its object is to provide an improved construction therein so that tiles may be secured in position without the use of nails, wire, cement or the like and without danger of displacement by roof framing.

The invention consists in making the tiles and roof framing of a special shape and construction, so that thereby the tiles interlock and are held securely or locked to the One way of efi'ecting this is by making the tiles and tile battens of a Specification of Letters latentr Patented May 15, 1917.

special shape so that the tiles are locked to the rafters by the tile battens. According to this way the tiles (1 are made with beveled top edges (2), two preferably dovetailshaped lugs or projections (3) near the top and a, preferably, dove-tailshaped projec tion (4) near the bottom. Theprojections (3) are undercut on a bevel (5),- and the bottom projection (4) is alsoflundercut on a bevel (6) and is thereby adapted to lie against the top edges (2') of twoadjacent tiles below it and extending over the two inner projections (3) on said two adjacent tiles. The tile battens (7) have beveled top edges (8) to correspond with the bevel (5 on projections (3),so that when the tile (1) is placed on the tile battens (7) its up per end (9) and the interlocked bottom end (10) of the tile above it are held by the projections (3) taking over the top beveled edge (8) of the tile batten (7 and by adjac'ent and lower tiles. The tiles are removed by being slid up the roof or wall ofi the tile battens (7). The top course of roof tiles is secured by batten (11), (see Fig. 5) and the top course of. wall tiles is secured by a metal plate.
(12) shaped like the H re 2 in cross section as shown in Fig. A special ridge tile (13) with lugs (17) is provided and the ridge course is held down at one end by a short piece of batten (14) which is fixed to the ridgeboard (15).. This piece of batten (14) has beveled sides (16) to engage and hold the lugs (17) on 'the ridge tile 13 One side edge of the tilesis rabbeted (18) the corner of the rabbets being well gulleted (19) for the purpose of affording-strength. The other side edge is also rabbeted (20) and the corner of the rabbet is formed into a throat (21) for the passage of water.
When the tiles are laid in position the rabbetvof one tile overlaps the rabbet of the next tile and the bottom end of the tile overlaps two tiles ofthe next lower course of tiles. 1
To prevent water finding its way by capillary attraction between the top of one tile and the bottom of the next higher tile, recesses (22) and channels (23 are formed which break the continuity o the contact and allow the water to escape downward.
The base tiles (2;) Figs. 4-. and 8 are spe- I the metal batten cially made with an outwardly sloping portion and weathering is made as shown in Fig. 8.
The'eaves tile (26) Figs. 3 and 6 vis s ecially made with a sloping part (27) to discharge water into spouting shown in Fig. 6.
The gable tile (28) Fi 2 and 9 is formed with a lip (29) or overhanging barge board.
A method of applying these tiles to steel y Letters Patent is In a structure of the character described, the combination with tile battens having beveled supporting edges, of tiles supported by said battens, certain-of said tiles each having a beveled top edge and upper oppositely disposed undercut lugs adjacent the corners adapted to rest upon the beveled edge of the battens, and a. lower undercut lug adapted to rest upon the beveled top edge of two adjacent lower tiles, said lower lug being also adapted to span the juxta-' posed upper lugs of a pair of adjacent lower tiles, the tiles being so formed that the overlapped portion of each tile is capable of being slid laterally into and out of place under the overlapping portion of the tile above.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
