Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 23, 1919..

Application filed March 3, 1919. Serial No. 280,329.

To czZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NORMAN A. LIOHTY, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Waterloo, Blackhawk county, Iowa, have invented certain new and useful improven'ients in Skylight-Window l ramings, of which the following is a speciiication.

My invention relates to improvements in skydight window-framing, and the object oi. my improvement is to provide a sky-light window-f'aming with lateral plate extensions adapted to extend under and support root shingles, said plate extensions be ng formed with means for properly supporting the shingles while deflecting moisture or rain therefrom.

This object I have accomplished by the means which are hereinafter described and claimed, and which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Flgure 1 is a front elevation of a sky-light window and its special framing of my invention as applied to an inclined shingle roof structure, and Fig. 2 is an enlarged eross-sectlon of a lateral or side portion of said window tlraming.

Similar numerals and characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

li ly improved window framing B consists of a metal plate A having one or more relatively large openings to be covered by glazing 8. This plate A is to be mounted in a 5 wellhnown manner over a suitable opening in the sheathing 15 of the inclined roof of a hog-house or other building. The plate A. may be an integral one, or constructed of spaced

horizontal strips

10 and 12 connected at their ends to the ends of side strips 1 by soldering or other means. These side-strips 1 are formed or rolled with inclined ribs, crimps or corrugations 2, spaced apart and raised from the upper surface of the plate. Shingles 1a are laid in the usual overlapping relation upon the side-strip l and supported upon the raised ribs 2 thereon.

Any desired engaging or securing means may be adopted for supporting and sealing the glass-plates 8 over the openings in said window-framing. T have shown a specific mounting for glazing.

Referring to said Fig. 2, the inner longitudinal edge-part of each side-strip 1 is bent upwardly at a right angle at 3, thence downwardly at a parallel to the part 3, thence at a right angle at 5, and thence again at a rlght angle at 6. The glass-plate 8 rests upon the upper edge of the part 6, spaced from the part 5, and with its edge abutting upon the part 4.. The parts a, 5 and 6, while supporting the plate 8, also provide a channel for water. The numeral 7' denotes an angularly bent strip placed astride the fold of the parts 3 and a and detachably secured thereto by clips 9, the clips being soldered to the part l, passed through slots not shown in the strip 7 and bent upon the latter. Sealing-strips 11 extend over the upper edges of the plates 8, as also other sealingstrips 13 extend over the lower edges of the plates from the

strips

10 and 12 respectively. The strips 7, 11 and 13 cover the joints between the glazing and thesupports therefor.

The ribs or crimps 2 011 the side-strips 1, are preferably inclined from the outer edges 01 the strips downwardly toward theadjacent side-parts Q) of the window-framing 13, to deliver moisture away from the overlying shingles 14, the ribs being of such an inclination and so spaced as to extend past each other and prevent passage of water or moisture.

The dotted lines in said Fig. 1 show the arnngement of said ribs under the overlyin shingles, whereby the shingles are each supported on at least two ribs, and as the ribs are positioned obliquely to the shingles, the grain of the latter is so crossed as not to be liable to split immediately overthe ribs as might be the case were the ribs positioned parallel with the grain or longitudinal with the shingles.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A shy-light window-framing, comprising a plate having an opening and provided with engaging'means for glazing about said opening, portions of the plate being crimped obliquely.

2. A sky-light window-framing, comprising a plate having an opening and provided with engaging-means for mounting glazing along its inner marginal border, the end portions of said plate having spaced parallel erimps extending from its outer margin toward the engaging means.

A. sky-light window-framing, comprising a plate having an opening and provided with a raised rim about the opening, said plate having on its opposite end portions parallel raised parts arranged obliquely to- 5 ward the adjacent parts of said rim.

4. The combination with sky-light Window-framing, of a plate bordering thereupon, said plate being formed at its ends with raised spacing projections inclined from without downwardly toward the open 10 ing in said framing.

Signed at Waterloo, Iowa, this 13th day of Feb. 1919.
