FEEIEDRICH WKLLIAM MELDE, OF NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, ASSIGNOR TO THE MELDETILE CORPORATION, OE NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.
ROOFING-TILE.
To cZZ whom it may concern Be'it known that I, Fnlnn'nicrr VVILLIAM l hnon, a citizen of the United States, residthe use of which Weather-tight connections will be established between the numerous tiles of a roof and with this general object in view, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction and unique combinations of parts to be hereinafter fully described and claimed, the descriptive matter being supplemented by theaccompanying drawings which constitute a part of this application and in which:
Figure l is a perspective view of a por-' tion of a roof constructed of the improved tiles, showing the upper side thereof;
, Fig. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the lower side of one of the tiles:
Fig. 3 isa sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line "3 3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. lis a sectional view on the plane of the line d& of F l and 3; and
Fig. 5 is a somewhat similar view show? ing a diti'erent manner of securing the tile to a roof. I
In specifically describing the structure shown inthe drawings above briefly described, similar characters will be employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views and reference will be herein made to the numerous elements by their respective indices. To this end,the nu meral l designate the improved tiles which are all constructed in the same manner. each being rectangular in general outline.
A rib 2 extends across the upper end of the tile 1 on the upper side thereof while leading from this rib tothe lower end of the tile is a pair of comparatively wide ribs 3 and 4, the former being disposed at one edge of said tiie while the latter is located on the longitudinal center thereof. At its other edge, the tile 1 is formed with inner Specification of Letters Eetent.
Patented May is, 1918,
and outer grooves 5 and 6 which are parallel with said'edge, the groove 5 terminating at one end of the rib 2' while groove 6 extends throughout the length of the tile. The provision of the grooves 5 and 6 forms comparatively narrow inner and outer ribs 7 and 8 in the upper face of the tile.
The lower side of the tile has formed at its longitudinal center a groove 9 for the sake of lightnessthis groove extending beneath therib 4, while beneath the rib 3 inner and outer grooves 10 and 11 are formet, these grooves providing, inner and outer ribs 12 and 13. l l hen'the tiles are laid as shown in Fig. 1, the grooves 10 and 11 will receive the ribs 8 and spectively of the adjacent tiles while the be disposed in the grooves 5 and 6. This establishes an effective weatherproof connection between the edges of the numerous tiles as will be obvious.
The lower end of each tile 1 is provided with a pair of spaced depending lugs 1% which are received between the ribs 3 and of other tiles as shown clearly in Fig. 1,
thus serving to a great extent as means for preventing rain and the like from beating or being blown upwardly between the lower and upper tiles. However, in severe weather, some moisture may enter but it will be further checked by the rib :2, Any-water which may drive upwardly on the -upper side of the ribs -l will be checked by transverse grooves 15 at the upper; ends of said ribs and will be shed therefrom since these grooves incline as depicted clearly in Fig. 1.
Used in conjunction with the weatherproofing means above described are' pacls ing cables 16 which are interposed between the overlapping ends of'the upper and lower tiles, the ribs 2 having grooves 17 formed longitudinally therein to receive the lower portions of the cables 16 while the projecting upper portions thereof fit snugly with in grooves 18 extending transversely of the lower sides of the tiles at the lower end thereof, the grooves 9 having bridges 19 through which the groovesl8 pass as de is 12 and 13 will also 16 as j tiles a roof, a lower rcifsoi 'ahe laid and secured moons to ho dssoribcrl. A. cslolo in en ho invthc olinccl grooves 1? rod in place ivy bonding the wi'i'cs 20 ssconcl row oi tilss is now projecting upper portions of 1 5 Leo in tho grooves 18 thsrsoi or row has hssn lsicl tho others similarly .spgliccl.

in conclusion, I will state that although certain. specific details of construction have been shown and described for the attainment of probably the best results, numerous changes may be made Within the scope of the invention as claimed Without sacrificing the main advantages thereof.
