MAs'ncK, Jr., a citizen of the United States, resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Im rovements in Shin le'-Strips, of which the allowing is a cation, the rinciple of the invention be best mode in whi I have contemplated applying that principle, so as todistmguish it I their construction does not allow: them to vibrate or flap in. the wind, but allow the necessary compensation for the expam means, however, constituting sion and contraction of boththe shingles and the roof members, 7 V a The annexed drawings .and the following description set fol-thin detail certain means embodying my invention, the disclosed but oneof various mechanical forms in whlch the principle of the invention maybe employed. In said-anilexeddraw ng ,Figure 1 represents a plan view of a section of roof covering comprised of my new and improved shing e strips; Fig.2 repree sents a vertical longitudinal section taken in the plane indicated by the'liiu'e Il s-II,

' suchcontraction. .Bynotrunningtheslotsthree sets Qfiverti callv alined slots so as to form's, shingle slot 6. It thatthe said strip '1 is thus rovided with continuous edges 2 and 8. ese strips are eitherlstandard 10" or standard 12% in depth and by way of illustrating'the' manner of laying the same, a number of strips of the 12;" depth are shown laid up to form a section ofroof covering in Fig. 1, theexposurejof eachstrip being 4". "It'is evident be particularly pointed out that this will provide -a narrow 2" section where the 8v is four shingles in depth,

and the slots 4, 5 and 6 are so disposed that in addition to the strip containing the slot 6- throughwhich they pass-and then are driven mto the roof parts 8 immediately above the four thickness sectiomas hereinbefore menltioned. The slots 4,75 and 6 of such a' width as' to allow lateral lnovementof the shingle strip 1,'as plainly shown at 6', Fig. 4. Of course, the slots .4, 5 and 6, as will be readily understood, allo'w'also for the longitudinal play'of the nails when the-roof boards -8 expand or contract and alsoallow for the ansion and contraction of the shingle stripsthemselves. The above-described disposition of the slots 4, 53ml 6 has resulted. in the yformation of the" comparativeiy narrow. sections 9and 12 of the shingle strip 1' p d-a jacentlyto' the edges -2'andr3, respectively, as plainly shown in Fig. s, and also; in the sections 10 .and 1 1;

lspos'ed intermediately of the slot 6 and the as, the vergnarrow sections 9 and 12 will' uckle without breaking during 4 and 5 to the extreme edge of the shingle edges 2 an a whlch not vibrate Orflap in'the wind to the great'detriment of the. n

shingles,- as is well-known in the trade. I,

find it preferable; in the layingof these shingle strips not to nail tliem extremely tight.- WheneverT-a doubleply la is used, the-end, slots 4 and 'fi are made onger [tildes shingles eie lqli'e s fi tefth tats A 1 In laying" up my improvedi'shingle-"strip to form an improvedroof covering, 1,50 rela tively dispose the several strips as'ito secure va maximum staggering of the'j'oints; parts of atleast threedifierent strips beln dIS-Q posed between adj acent joints, all asp ainly seen, in Fig. 1. Because'of the better dramage and protection thus afforded; this method aying up the roof produces a much more eflic ient construction than any other of WlllCh I am aware andin which the joints are made i 'bysimply'bi-secting the separate shingles.

j From thej-ahove description and the aca that my improved s inglestrip is ireversif ble'so that it will save time in handling and to al ined spaced slots, the respective upper and tom edges of the strip companying drawin it is readily apparent willalso. save material by the ability to re v verse and use if one edge is injured and also will save material in cutting by reason of the use of the cut ends. By reason of. the comparatite movements of the roof boards, shingles and nails,' allowed in the construction shown and described, the shingles will give much longer service than any with which I aim at present acquainted.

What I claimis: 1 L'A shin le strip consisting of a waterproof felt ormed with a plurality of sets. of slots consisting eachof three vertically lower ends of the outer of which slots are removed somewhat from the top and hotto form continuous narrow marginal portions along said edges.

2. A shing'le strip consisting 'of a waterproof felt formed with a plurality of sets of slots consisting each of three vertically alined spaced slots of which the upper and lower are great in length compared withthemiddle slot, the respective upperand lower 7 ends of the outer of which slots are removed nails securin somewhat from the top and bottom edges of the'strip to 'formcontinuous narrow marginal portlons along said edges.

3. A roof covering consisting of a plurality of shinglestrips laid to overlap, each such strip. formed in its body portion with three spaced vertically alined slots; and

covering to t e roof boards and disposedin the central slots of the several strips ad acently the lower ends of; said slots.

4. A roof covering consisting of a pluunease-e said strlps together and the parts-of: more strips are comp'reended between joints; and means for securi aaid strips together and the covering t K boards-g g1 w I 'rooi covering consisting of f a lu-v rality of'shingle strips each orme'djwit a plurality of sets of vertioa' y. alined slots definin the severalshin les said stripsbeing lai to so'oveilap t at'parts of three ormore strips are comprehended between joints; and meansfor securing said strips to other and the covering to theroof boards.

A roof covering consistin of a pluralit of shingle'strips laid to overlap, each sue strip f'ormed'in its bodvl'portion with a plurality of sets of vertioallyalignedslots, each such set consisting ofcomparatively large upper andflower slots and an'intcrmediate small slot; andlnails securing said strips together and the covering to the roof boards and disposed the'lower' ends-of intermediate slots, the strips being so laid that the top edges of the lowermost strips are distlvely.

8. A roof covering consisting of flour shinglestri s laid to overlap, each such.

ll. A roof covering consisting of four shingle strips laid to overlap, each such strip formed in its body portion with vertically alined spaced slots defining the several shingles of the strip; and nails securing said strips together and the covering to the roof boards and disposed in slots of the several strips at points far removed from the top and bottom edges of the strips in which said slots are respectively formed, the strips being so laid that the lowermost strips are disposed adjacently below the nails, respectively, and the uppermost strips cover the heads of said nails, whereby any single strip is pierced onl by nails one less in number than the num er of shingles defined in said strip.

12. A roof covering consisting of four shingle strips laid to overlap, each such strip formed in 1ts body portion with vertically alined spaced slots defining the several shingles of the strip; and nails securing said strips together and the covering to the roof boards and disposed in slots of the several strips transversely of each strip in a single series, the strips being so laid that the lower most strips are disposed mfi acently below the nails, respectively, and the uppermost strips cover the heads of said nails, whereby any single shingle is pierced by only a single nail.

13. A roof covering consisting of four shingle strips laid to overlap, each such strip formed in its body portion with a plurality of sets of vertically alined slots, each such set consisting of comparatively large upper and lower slots and an intermediate small slot; and nails securing said strips together and the covering to the root boards and disposed in the lower ends of the intermediate slots, the strips being so laid that the to edges of the lowermost stripsare dipose adjacently below the nails, respectively, and the uppermost strips cover the heads of said nails, whereby any one nail pierces only a single strip.

14. A shingle strip consisting of a waterproof felt formed with a plurality of sets of slots consisting each of a plurality of vertically alined spaced slots of which the upper and lower are duplicates so that the strips may be laid either way.

15. A. shingle strip consisting of a Waterproof felt formed with a plurality of sets of slots consisting each of a plurality of vertically alined spaced slots of which the upper and lower are duplicates so that the strip may be laid either way, the respective outer ends of which upper and lower slots are removed somewhat from the top and bottom edges of the strip to form continuous marginal portions along said edges.
