adaptable when a wall is being faced with:
shingles. The corners of shingled walls are often difiicult to join properly in a rain- 16 proof manneras said shingles ordinarilycannot be lapped over each other as on a straight surface, consequently permitting a leak during a wind swept rain or similar condition. This invention has for its object to cover the corner of the shingled wall and also to provide surfaces which form a rain drain outside of the wall so that no water or moisture can come in contact with the framing timbers of the structure.
This and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawing.
Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a corner of a structure, showing the cornerguard mounted in place thereon.
.Figure 2 is an elevational view seen from a 45 degree angle of the corner, showing the formation of the shingles as applied with the corner guard. fi
Figure 3 is a top plan view of the corner guard construction.
Figure 4 is a side elevational view of Figure 3 with the shingles removed from the view.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates the clapboards cover-' ing the frames of a structure." These clapboards are shown on the corner and form a 90 degree angle with respect to each other. The corner of one clapboard which forms the corner of the house is curved at 11. Over this curved surface the legs 12 and 13 o are mounted. These legs are at right angle positions to each other and extend the entire height of the corner of the wall which is to Serial No. 716,579.
be guarded. Intermediate the width of these legs, channels 14 are provided by deforming the surfaces of the legs into undulating curves 15. The mutually adjacent corners of these legs 12 and 13 have extensions 16 thereon whichproject parallel and mutuallv adjacent each other for a distance approximately half ofthe legs 12 and 13 and .at the end edges, said extensions are again bent angularly outward into walls 17 from the corners of which an arcuately curved surface 18 generates.
In constructing a wall of a structure with this corner guard, the clapboards which intersect each other at the corners of the structure are curved as shown at 11. The corner guard is then applied by seating the legs 12 and 13 over the corher of the clapboards and securely nailing or otherwise attaching the same thereto, completely covering the curved surface 11 of the corner of the structure. The shingles. are then applied to the surface after the corner guard has been positioned. These shingles indicated by the numeral 19, are usually of greater thickness at the lower end than at the upper, and one surface is inclined so that the shingles of the next ad jacent upper row will lie flat or flush upon the surface of the lower row. This con-' struction requires the tilting of the shingles as is obvious, and the lower ends of the same flare outwardly and require more room than the upper ends of the shingles, owing to the difference in dimensions of their thicknesses. The entire edges of the shingles at the corner are covered by the ends of members-17 of the corner guard which extend outwardly from the center members 16 up to the corners of the shingles. Should any rain or moisture find its way thru the shingle construction at the corner, it will find its way into the channels 14- at the legs 12 and 13 and will be drained ofl at the lower end of the corner guard.
I claim:
In a wall corner construction consisting inrounding the external corners of the wall, a corner guard comprising a pair of legs arranged at right angles to each other and adapted to cover the rounded corner of the wall, the mutually adjacent corners of the legs having extensions thereon which course parallel and adjacent to each other, said e-xtensions having walls integral therewith which extend in'opposite directions, and a 5 convexly curved surface joining the outer edges of said walls said curved surfacebein raised above the actual corner of the building wall, the legs 'of said corner guard being adapted to be covered with shingles,
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
FRED PFISTNER.
