Description
DANIEL SWAIN, OF DOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
IMPROVEMENT IN TILE ROOFINGS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 142,056, dated August 19, 1873 application led -Aprn 19, 1873.
To all whom 'it may concer-u:
Be it known that I, DANIEL SWAIN', of Dover, Stratford county, State of New Hampshire, have invented a certain new, useful, and Improved Construction ot` Tile Booting; and that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying plate of drawings.
Under this invention a rooting material composed of molded cement and gravel or sand is employed; and the invention relates to thel `side or face, and concave upon the upper,
and at their ends they are adapted for one end of a plate to overlap the end of another plate. The plates, when laid, are placed with their flat sides upon the root', extending lengthwise in the direction of the incline ofthe roof, and, when so laid, they are secured lin place upon the roof by nailing, screwing, or'otherwise, fastening each plate at such portion as is overlapped by another plate, the overlapping ot' the plates being arranged so as to shed water and prevent its running under the joint oi' the overlap, as shown in the drawings. In the location ot' the plates, end overlapping end, as before stated, they are thus laid in rows, one row alongside of another, and the lines of joints between two rows are covered by semiconical tubes D of an inner and outer taper from end to end, which tubes set one into another at their ends, thus overlapping joints similarly to the overlapping of the rootingplates A. These tubes may be molded into shape from cement and gravel or sand, or made of other material. At the ridge-pole of a gable root', such as shown in the drawings, the ends of the roong-plates upon each side of the ridge-pole are covered and protected by roofing-plates E, made of an angular form from end to end, but transversely concave, and'at and along the contact-edges covered by tubes F, correspondingly angular from end to end.
\ By forming the plates A with tlat bases and concave upper surfaces, a series of gutters or channels are produced, which carry off the water, and render the roof much less liable to leakage than the roofs which are constructed with iat upper surfaces.
I do not, broadly, claim a rootingtile composed of cement and coarse grit, for such of itself' is well known; but,
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a rooiin g, the plates A A, molded from sand and cement, and formed with flat bases and concave upper surfaces, as shown, in com- `bination with the semicircular shields D, all applied substantially as herein described, for the purpose specified.
2. The angular rooting-plates E, with their angular covering-tubes F, substantially as described, tor the purpose specilied.
DANIEL- SWAIN.
