To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, BAY VVRIGHT, a citizen of the United States of-America, and resident of Jackson, in the county of Hinds and State of lllississippi, have invented certain new and useful"Improvements in Roofing, of which the following is a specification.
. This invention relates to roots for buildings'and has for its object, the provision of novel means for covering the edges of roofs at the rake end and the said inventionlias particular reference to a means for protecting edges of asphalt shingles or other roof, coverings where the same are laid over old roof shingles, the subject-matter ofthis application being divided out oi. my application No. 313,502, filed July 26, 1919, which has matured into Patent No. 1,336,118, April 6, 1920.
In the original application, itwas, stated that when asphalt shingles are laid, their edges along the rake edges present a rough and uneven frazzled appearance in time if not when first installed, and it is the purpose of this invention toprovide-a metal trinimi ng for protecting these edges, While, at the same time, giving a. finished appearance and preventing the access of moisture oetWeen-the said shingles.
ith the foregoing and other objects in View, the invention consists in the details 1 of construction and in the arrangement and combination (if-parts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed. In describing'the invention in detail, reference Will be had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, wherein like characters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in Figure 1 is a sectional view of a fragrake; u 7 I Fig. 2 1s a perspective view of the rarest-ea can 5, we);

Letters Patent.
in these drawings, 12 denotes the sheathing of a. roof; i3, shingles and 14c, rake strips, which, on repair jobs are supplied and is, of course, new Wood, Whereas the sheathings in-the shingles are those which were on the structure.
The asphalt roofing sheets 15 cover the shingles and extend well over the rake strips so that moisture will not enter the joints between these parts.
The metalrakecap comprises a plate 16 having a flange 17 extending along the edge or" the rake strip and secured theretoby iastenings 18 such as nails. of the plate 16 is preferably flanged. and it extends downwardly as shown at 19, so as to prevent rain from passing between it and the asphalt roofing. The relation or" parts in this connection is Well illustrated in Fig. 1, so that the tendency oiflthe flange is to exert such pressure on the asphalt roofing as to prevent moisture from access at the joints.
When the finishing plate is applied to the "gable rake as shown, it likewise has the appearance'and finish of a metal roof and it serves the purpose and function of guarding the edges of the asphalt roof and 'preventing undue deterioration thereof.
in a rooi construction, sheathing, shingles gaining posed at one end of the roofing sheets, said roofing sheets adapted to he positioned-on the rake strips, a'rake cap including a downwardly extending flange and having a. right angle portion adapted to overlie the rake strip and ends of the roofing sheets, said rake striphaving adownward1; extending flan e contactin with the roofin sheets for I p l providing a water tight connection between the roofing sheets and rake strips, and
means for securing the rake strip to the roof.
