so cut the multiple shingle-strips as to avoid waste of material,

A further object is to construct the two longitudinal edges of the strips symmetrically in such 'a manner thatin case one or more shingle-projections should be torn or broken oil at one edge of a strip, the latter canbe reversed to conceal the broken edge and present a complete and intent shingle edge at lits lower exposed portion, thus avoiding the necessity of discarding such broken shingle strips and effecting an iniportant saving.

Another object of the invention is the 1inL provement of the shingle strips with a View ot' insuring absolutely tight joints at their ends.

ln the accompanying drawings.:

Figure 1' is a fragmentary plan view of several courses of the improved shinglestrips.- Figure 2 is a plan view of a sheet of material, such as ready roofing, showing the method of cutting the strips. .Figure 3 is a perspective view of ne of the stripst Figure 4 1s atransverse .ertical section on line 4&4, Fig. l. Figure 5 is a similar section, showing a defective or worn out shingle withdrawn. Figures 6 and 7 are horizontal. sections on the .correspondingly numbered lines in Fig. l. y

Similar characters of lreclerence indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. l

s shown in the drawings, the iinproved A shingle-strip is serrated at both longitudinal edges to form a row of substantially V- shaped projections l0 at each edge, representing a corresponding number of shingle units. In the example shown, each strip has four complete shingle-projections at one edge, while its other edge is formed with three complete projectionsV and two hall? projections arranged at opposite ends there- Serial to. 501,748.

of, these half-projections forming complete projections when laid `against adjoining strips having similar half-projections.r rlhe strips may however be provided with any other suitable number of projections, if desired. The projections at one edge of each strip arev staggered with reference to those ,of the other edge, or, in Iother words, the projections' of one edge are arranged directly opposite the substantially ii-shaped recesses ll ot the other edge.

l By constructing the shingle-strips in this manner, Va number or them can he cut from a single sheet of ready rooting orl other ap,- propriate material without waste,iloy severing the sheet along the dotted zig-zag lines l2 in Fig. 2, these lines extending across the sheet at intervals corresponding to the ver tical dimensions of the strips.

Each shingle strip is preferably -cut away at its ends', adjacent to one of its longitudinal edges, in the forni of angular notches or recesses 13. ,When such. strips are laid end to end on a roof, the vertical edges 14 of their opposing notches abut against each other, as shown in Figs. l and-7, while' the remaining unnotched end portion of one strip overlaps the correspondingvportion of the adjoining strip, as shown in Figs. 1 and l 6, producing tight joints which eiiectually prevent leakage at these points. Theedges 14C form" stops which limit the extent of over'- lap of the shingle-strips.

As both edges of the strips have shingle projections of uniform contour, the strips can be lai-d to expose either edge. This reversible feature has the advantage that in the event of a projection being broken' at one edge, the strip can be reversedto con'- -ceal the broken edge under the overlying course of strips, thus avoiding waste of such partlybroken strips.

The shingle strips are usually laid in three courses, as shown .in Figs. l and 4:. The construction of this improved 4shingle-strip is Such that if one should be blown ott' by a v.heavy wind, the two remaining courses'or thicknesses providev sui'licientrotection against leakage until it can Vloe rep aced, and

this is also, ,the case where one or more shingle points or projections are broken o, as above mentioned.

'In laying the shingle-strips, the can be readily and properly spaced one a ove an- 0' other by 'bringing the points or projections of" the strips in register with the apexes of lcorresponding edge of an adjoining shingle- 15 the recesses of the underlying course ot strips. l

I claim as my invention:

l. A reversible shingle-strip, having e row of projections at each of its longitudinal edges forming intervening recesses., the projections at one edge of the strip being disposed directlyopposite the recesses of the opposite edge, and the projections at both edges being of uniform. shape, the strip being provided in each end, adjacent to one of its longitudinal edges9 with a notch Whose vertical edge is adapted to abut against the 2. rllhe combination of adjoining shinglestrips, each having e row of shingle-projections along one of its longitudinal edges, and notches in its ends adjacent to one of such edges, the vertical edges of the notches of adjoining shingle-strips abutting `against each other, While the end portion of one strip overlaps the corresponding portion of the adjoining strip, forming partly a. butt joint and partly e lapejoint at the adjoining ends of the strips' JACUB OTT.
