Definitions
- My present invention has reference to buildings having the outer surfaces of the walls and roofs shingled. These shingles are aflixed to each section in its manufacture, and form integral parts of the sections as they are shipped. Consequently when a wall or roof is set up it is necessary to pro vide for closing the joints between adjacent sections.

2 SHEETS-SHEET 2 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES V. BOSSERT, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
WALL AND ROOF CONSTRUCTION.
Application filed November 22, 1917.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES V. Bossnnr, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wall and Roof Constructions; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
In the manufacture of portable houses it is customary to make the parts constituting the walls, roof and flooring in sections which may be readily assembled to set up the building.
My present invention has reference to buildings having the outer surfaces of the walls and roofs shingled. These shingles are aflixed to each section in its manufacture, and form integral parts of the sections as they are shipped. Consequently when a wall or roof is set up it is necessary to pro vide for closing the joints between adjacent sections. I do this in a manner which not only seals the joint but maintains the continuity of the shingled appearance.
Figure 1 is a perspective of assembled sections constituting a wall or roof, as they are made alike for both purposes. Fig. 2 is a perspective of one of the sections. Fig. 3 shows the finished structure.
The sections are designated by 1 and 2 and 3 is the joint between their adjacent edges which are attached to the uprights of the building frame, in the case of the wall, or rest on the rafter 4 in the case of the roof illustrated. Each section comprises a base boarding 5 on which are shingles. As the sections leave the mill they have the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2 where the lower shingles 6 terminate at their sides well within the edges 7 of the base boarding. The successive shingles 8, 8, in the superposed series, terminate flush with the edges 7 of their respective sections. The shingles are preferably tapered, as usual. As shingles 8, 8, rest partly upon shingles 6, 6, etc., spaces 9 are provided between shingles 8, 8, and base boarding 5.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 3, 1920.
Serial No. 203,399.
After the sections are assembled as in Fig. 1, the auxiliary shingles of Fig. 3 are applied. An auxiliary shingle 10 is placed between opposite shingles 6 and slipped beneath shingles 8 terminating at its forward edge at the dotted line 13. Another auxiliary shingle 12 is similarly placed with relation to shingles 6 and 8*, its lower edge being above auxiliary shingle 10 and terminating at dotted line 13. It will be understood that in use these auxiliary shingles are of the usual construction having onethird of their length to the weather and twothirds of cover. The described insertion of the auxiliary shingles is continued throughout the length of the joints between the sections.
Thus it will be seen that I have made provision for effectively sealing the joints between assembled sections which have previously been constructed with shingled surfaces and at the same time I maintain the continuity of the shingled appearance.
Obviously the construction described is available as well for the roof as for the wall of a building.
I claim as my invention:
In a house structure, a plurality of portable sections adapted to bearranged edge to edge to form an opposed wall or roof and having shingles on their outer surfaces, the
alternate transverse rows of shingles ter- I minating short of the side edges of each secs tion, the intermediate transverse rows of shingles terminating flush with said side edges, and auxiliary shingles, adapted to be applied after the sections are assembled, at the joints between adjacent sections, said auxiliary shingles being inserted beneath the endshingles of said intermediate rows to close the joints between adjacentsections against the entrance of moisture and to complete the continuity of said alternate rows of shingles.
In testimony whereof I-have signed this specification.
CHARLES v. 'BossnRT.
