ROIEING TILE.
Application iiled. ctohez 1922. gferial No. 599,791.
To all whom 'it may concerne.
Be it known that l, SOLOMON B. MYERS, a resident of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful lmprovement in Roofing rFiles, oi which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The present invention relates to rooting tiles, and more particularly to rooting tiles having translucent panes, such as glass, set therein. ln the rooting tile herein described, the pane is set so as to make a very eliicient waterproof joint at the edge where most leakage has been experienced, but at the same time to permit the removal and re placement ont the pane, if broken. The tile is also arranged so that any moisture, such as water of condensation, is caught by a gutter and conducted to the surface ot the root.
In the drawings forming part specification Figure l is a plan view Ot a rooting tile embodying my invention;
Figure 2 is a vertical section on an enlarged scale along the line H-ll oi: Figure l;
Figure 3 is a vertical section along the line lII-IH of Figure l; and
Figures a and 5 are enlarged detail sections through the tile at its upper and lower edges, respectively, along the line Fil-IV and V-V Ot Figure 1.
As shown in the illustrated embodiment of the invention, the tile comprises a tile frame l, Ot' cement or other tile material, and a translucent pane 2 of glass or similar material. rlhe framework or body l ot the tile is made in the usual form, having at one edge the rib 3 and at the other edge the overlapping flange l which cooperate with tiles placed on each side to ttorm the overlapping joints. rlhe upper part or cross bar 5 of the trame is plain while the lower part or cross bar G is provided with the usual rib 7, which is hollowed at 8 to lap over the joint between the tiles in the next lower row. A seat 9 is formed on the inner edge Ot the tile frame to receive the glass pane Q. In Figure l the pane is shown as removed. In the other ligures, the pane is shown in place, butwithout the cement at its edges.
The upper edge of the seat is provided with an undercut ledge lO, having the paneH ot this receiving groove l1. rlhe sides and bottom of the seat have plain-faced ledges which allow the glass to be laid down in place and then slid up into the undercut groove l1. This permits the removal ot the pane of glass in case it is broken and its replacement by another pane, while at the same time providing the overlapping or undercut ledge lO at the top Ot the pane. Wlhen the pane is put -in place, the edges ot the pane are held by an elastic waterproof cement applied similar to the putty on a pane of glass in a window. The liability oi" leakage of such cemented joint is greatest at the upper edge oi the pane where, in accordance withy my consi'zruction, l have provided the overlapping ledge lO, thereby minimizing the possibility of leakage. Suliicient space is lett between the bottom of the ledge l() and the glass to permit the tilting of the glass when it is inserted and also to receive the waterprooling cement to insure a waterproof joint beneath the ledge.
rlhe seat 9 is provided with a gutter l2, which preferably extends around the entire seat. The gutter l2 terminates in extensions or grooves 13, which extend from beneath the pane of glass out on to the upper surface 6 of the tile.
This gutter catches water which may seep in the joint between the tile framework and the pane. The gutter, and particularly the portion of the gutter at the lower edge of the pane, also catches any water of condensation which may form and run down on the under side of the pane, and conducts it away to the outer side of the roof.
While the gutter is shown as extending completely around the seat 9, it may be formed only part way round. rlhis tile provides an overlapping oint of the tile material at the upper edge of the pane, thus making a most secure water tight joint at the place where most trouble has been experienced. The other edges orc the pane are not held in undercut grooves, thus permit ting the pane to be removed and replaced it broken. The gutter which is formed in the pane-receiving seat ot the tile collects and conducts away to the outside ot the roof any moisture which would otherwise drop.'
Vilhile the preferred embodiment of the invention has been specifically illustrated and described, itl is to be understood that i the invention is not limited to its illustrated embodiment, but may be otherwise embodied y within the scope of the'following claims.
neath the edge of the pane and extending to the outer surface of the tile beyond the lower edge of the pane, substantially as described. Y
2. A roofing tile comprising a tile frame and a translucent pane seated therein, the .tile frame having a pane-receiving seat formed with a gutter in its upper face beneath the edge of the pane, said gutter being substantially co-extensive with said seat and extending to the outer surface of the tile beyond the lower edge of the pane, substantially as described.
8. A roofing tile comprising a tile frame and a translucent pane removably seated therein, the tile frame having formed in the pane-receiving seat thereof beneath the edge of the pane a moisture-conducting gutter extending to the outer surface of the tile, said frame also having an undercut ledge for receiving the upper edge of the pane, substantially as described.
4. A roofing tile comprising a tile frame having a pane seated therein and having a moisture conducting gutter formed in the pane-receiving seat thereof beneath each longitudinal side edge of the pane, said gutters being substantially co-eXtensive in length with the pane and each having an cxtension connecting its lower end with the outer surface of the tile, substantially as described. l
5. A roofing tile comprising a tile frame and a translucent pane removably seated therein, the upper edge of the pane-receiving seat of said frame being provided with an undercut ledge overlapping the upper edge of the pane, the sides and bottom of said seat having plain-faced ledges which permit the pane to be laid down in place and then slid up into the groove beneath said undercut ledge, substantially as described.
6. A roofing tile comprising a tile frame and a translucent pane removably seated therein, the upper edge of the pane-receiving seat of said frame being provided with an undercut ledge overlapping the upper edge of the pane, the sides and bottom of said seat having plain-faced ledges which permit the pane to be laid down in place and then slid -up into the groove beneath said undercut ledge, said undercut ledge being spaced from the surface of the pane to permit the reception of Waterproofing cememI to form a waterproof joint, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
