FLEXIBLE UNDEREAVE.

TTJJENELY:
UNITED sTATnsWPATENT onnion ALBERT ABBE GRISWOLD, 0F PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF T0 JOHN FRANCIS CHEVALIER, OF BROOKLINE, .MASSACHUSETTS FLEXIBLE UNDEREAVE.
Application filed August 2.
To all whom Aitl-Indy concern lBe it. known that I. ALBI-:RT ABBE GRIS- woLD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in t-he county of Providence and State of Rhode Island. have invented a new and useful Improvement in Flexible Undereaves, of which t-he following is a specification.
lily invention has reference to an improvementin flexible shingles and more particularly to'an improvement in a flexible undereave now used in connect-ion with the flexible shingles, as shown in my United State-Patent No. 1,271,410, granted to lne August 6, 1918. l
In shingling a roof with flexible shingles laid diagonally, I find that t-he roof is greatly improved in construct-ion and appearance and the operation of laying the shingles greatly facilitated by the use of my improved under-eaves. whichlay on the roof at. the edge of' the eaves and forms the first course in shingling the roof.k Heretofore the shingles had to be cut ofi` by hand or bent under to form this first orl eave course, which hand work requires skill. time, labor and extra expense.
The object. of my invention is to provide a flexible under-eave for use in connection wit-h flexible shingles in shingling a roof with shingles laid diagonally, whereby the shingling of the roof is expedited and a more perfect roof of its kind constructed than has heretofore been done.
My invention consists in the peculiar and novel construct-ion of a flexible under-eave. said flexible under-cave having details of construction. as will be more fully set forth hereinafter and claimed.
Figure l is a plan view of a portion of a flexible shingled roof. with the shingles laid diagonally and showing the Same provided with my improved flexible under-eaves.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of my improved flexible under-cave.
Fig. 3 is an end view of the under-eave. and
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the under-cave in the blank form.
In the drawings 5 indicates the sheathing of a roof, 6.6 the flexible shingles and 7J my improved flexible under-eaves. The roof sheathing 5 may also represent the sheathing on the outer walls of a building.
The flexible shingles 6.6 are constructed Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 11, 1919.
1919. serial No. 314.976.
as shown in my previous patent, of a flexible material and have a bent` under corner flap S in which is a wirehaving outwardly extending side ends 9.9 which go under the angular lower edges 10.10 of shingles previ- 'ously laid. to hold down the lower end of the shingle.
Ihe flexible under-eaves 'if' are formed preferably of the same flexible material as the shingles 6.6. Each under-cave T is pref'- erably rectangular in shape. the same width as a shingle 6, and half the height. of a shingle 6. The under-eave T is constructed itlhave a straightl top 11, straight, sides 12.12
der-eaves are together, answers the same 80 purpose as the lower angular edges410.10 on the shingles 6.6. From each angular lower corner 15 a. slit 16 extends in the eave edge 13, parallel with the eave edge 13, a predetermined distance, to facilitate the entrance of the wire side ends 9.9 on the shingles 6.6. f
In shingling a roof or the like with my flexible shingles 6.6 laid diagonally and the under-eaves, the first course is formed by laying my improved flexible under-eaves 7.7 on the roof with the eave-edges 13.13 atthe eave edge of the roof, and secured at 17.1? by nails, as shown in Fig. 1. The shingles 6.6 are now laid by placing a shingle over an under-eave in a osition for the wire side ends 9.9 to go un er the angular lower edges 15.15 of the under-eave. T he shingle is then moved upward and the wire side ends 9.9 forced under the angular lower edges of the under-eave thereby firmly securing the lower end of the shingle Vto two under-eaves previously nailed to the roof. The shinglel isnow nailed through its. side corners to the roof and the course completed and the next course and other courses of shingles are laid and secured in the same way. The under-eaves 7.7 have the marks 18.18 to indicate where the under-eaves are to be nailed.
By the use of my improved flexible undereaves the first course of shingles are laid more expeditiously, a material vsaving in time is obtai1ied, and a more perfect shingled roof isrconstructed, at less cost, than has heretofore been done. 'i
I do not wish to confine myself to the construction shown, as the same could be changed, such as eliminating the under flap 14 for cheapness, and the under-eave could still 'be used for the same purpose. 4IIavil-ig thus described my invention I claim as new 1. A flexible under-eave formed of a flap forming a lower edge of two thicknesses and angular lower corners on the under-eave `and extending across the lower corners of the bent under flap, for the purpose as, described.
2. A flexible under-eave having a bent underflap forming a rounded lower edge of two thicknesses, angular lower corners on the under-eave extending across the bent under flap and merging into a slit at the lower edge and parallel with the lower edge of the under-eave, for the purpose as described.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
ALBERT ABBE GRISWOLD.
