Application filed April 7, 1921. am 1%;459349 v To all '10 ho-m it may concern 4 Be it RHOWILthat'WQ ANTHONY LAM a citizen of Germany. and'residinginBrook lyn, Kings County; Newmork, and. JOHN F. "SCHROEDER, a citizen: of the United States, and residing in. Middle Village,
Queens County, New York, have invented layer 0t overlapping and interlocking shingles with means for'securing them to,
the roof.
The broad object of the invention is tov provide a novel method for laying theshingles whereby the cost. ofmaking the 2 shingles as well as the cost: of laying them is much reduced and the work materially simplified.
Thefeatures of the invention will be more readily understood from the following decompanying'drawing in which-- Fig. 1 illustrates our: improved method of laying shingles on a roof;
Fig. 2 1s a perspective view showing a few shingles to more clearly illustrate the invention.
Figs. 3 and 4 are face and edge views of one form of shingle used;
Figs. 5 and 6 are face and edge views of another form of shingle used.
In carrying out-our invention we employ eave or edge shingles-to start the work with. a 7 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the eavev be called lattice shingles which as shown in Figures 5 and 6 consists each of a shingle 16 preferabl in the form ofa-square, one .cor-
par of w 'ch as 17 is bent back upon the ore'particularly this inscription read in connection with the ac'-- The roofing proper consists of what may body 16 of the" shingle. Tlie" coriier."-17 forms a hook at shingle.
a limitation the shingles 10 1 will vhereinafter be calledstarter-shingles and the shingles 16 will be called lattice shingles. I The shingles arepre ferably of asphalt, asbestos; composition or other suitable material) The 5" forms illustrated in Figures 3 to 6 are the ones in which the shingles are manufac tured.' I p 1 A shingle roof consisting of artificial shingles as aforesaid may be laid over an oldnatural shingle roof ifdesired. However, the'better practice is to lay afoundation' roof of planks-.01 boards. This feature the one corner of" the I For purposes of identification-andnot as i is known in the art. For'thepurposeof'understanding this invention the reference numeral 2O in'Figure 1' denotesa roof or form:
dation suitably prepared to afford -a substantially smooth or even. surface upon which to lay the shingles.
method 1s carried out;
the roofis at 21. Thereafterthe roofis strung with wires which run paralleltothe i laying Shingles: the following cave or edge 22 of the roof andwhich are r spaced evenly as shown a distance apart equal tothe distance between each layeroi" shingles as hereinafter willappear.
.Anysuitable wire may be used and it 1119. be a continuousv wire vas indicated or 'eac strand or length of wire may be separate.
Suitable fastening meanssuch as nails 23 may be used. It will be noted that there is a strand of'wire 24 adjacent the lower edge .of the roof.
' Thereafter, the starter shingles are laid by hooking the bent edge 11 over the lower- Inostwire 24, seealso Figure 2, thadjacent sides of the two first starter shingles meetingon the line 21. Thereafter'the shin? -gles"-10'are. laid alongEsideeach other from the center outward. ach shingle is nailed as at 25, 25 and the top layer 12 is slipped under the second wir'e26.
between adjacent starter shingles where their corners H are cut away and said first lattice shingle is then nailed at 2T, 27.
ext the second lattice shingle is laid over the next joint 28 between the next two starter shingles and so forth; It will then be seenthat the wire 24 has been completely covered and serves as a means for keeping the lowermost row of shingles to the roof and more particularly serves ameans for placing said shingles in alinement. It will also be seen that after the first row of shingles 10 and 16 has been laid there is an exposed portion of wire 26 between each two adjacent shingles 16.
Thereafter the second row of lattice shingles are placed in position by hooking the shingle hook portion-1T over the exposed portions of the wire 26 and said secondrow of Shinglesmarked 30, 30 in Figure 1 covers the spaces between adjacent shingles in the first row.
In this manner the entire roof is covered with shingles, each shingle overlapping the two adjacent shingles in the preceding row. Each shingle is nailed separately as shown at 2T, 27. The edge of the shingles at 31 is cut off and the roof finished in any suitable manner known to'the art. This also applies to the hip of the roof.
In laying the shingles as aforesaid it will he seen that the work of'aligning the shingles and spacing them is practically eliminated in that the shingles align themselves automatically by being hooked over the wires 24, 26 and so'torth.
These wires therefore serve primarily and mainly as a spacing and aligning means. b'econdarily the wires serve to tie all the.
a foundation, of starter shingles laid there on at the edge of the roof, said starter shii gles consisting of an upper portion and a lower portion bent back beneath the upper portion, a spac ng wire secured to saul toxin dation and passing vthrough all oi said starter shingles between the upper and lower portions thereof, said starter shingles having the lower corners of their upper portions cut away to expose a portion the said spacing wire therebetween, lattiee shines v gles having meansforengaging the said 5;
posed portions of the wire passing through the starter shingles to cover the joints there-' between to form a first row of shingles.
other lattice shingles similar to the lattice 1 shingles aforesaid and "adapted to be laidin successive rows to cover the said foundation and other spaoingwires adapted to engage the said other lattice shingles to align the same in regular rows. 7 ANTHONY LAh lll/l.
