Application filed September To all whom it may concern:
Be it known'that I, Gaoncr. M. JORDAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Winside, in the county of Wayne and State of Nebraska, haveinventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Roofing, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention has for its primary object the production of an improved roofing, embodying shingles and sheet roofing, so constructed and associated as to insure aweather proof roof, which roofing covers a maximum area with a minimum weight, and in the laying of which the shingles are self-spacing. a
Another object of the invention is the production of a roof of thisclass, whereinthe major portion of the shingles areexposed to the weather, whereby the number of shingles required to cover a given-area. is reduced to the minimum, I I
Furthermore, the invention contemplates a roof of thisclass wherein theshin'gles are blind-nailed at both the top and the botr tom, thereby preventing'the' wind from et-. ting under the shingles. These and ot er' objects and advantagesI successfully attain in the embodiment hereinafter described, defined in the claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this application, and "in which like characters of reference indicate correspondingparts of sheet roofing.
throughout the several views,-of which;
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary plan of a roof constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2-is 'a and I Fig. 3 is, an enlarged perspective view of one of the shingles and the associated strip transverse section thereof;
Referringgiow, to the drawing, the sheathing of the roof or its equivalent, is represented at 4. My improved roofing consists ofstrips of sheet material, preferably so called asphalt sheet roofing. The strips are laid horizontally, with the lower. edge portion of each strip. overla ping the upper edge ortion of the next ower strip. The shing es, 6, are also made of sheet material, preferably asphalt sheet roofing, having stony particles imbedded in their faces to beautify them and renderthem fire proof. The lower edge portions of the shin les are folded under upon themselves, as at" Obviously the shingles are'laid side by side in 4, 1923. Serial I Io. 860,672.
portion, 7, of each shingle being inserted between the lower edge portion of the strip, 5, and the overlapped edge portion of the next lower strip, 5, as will be clearly understood from Fig. 2. The shingles and lining strips are held securely by nails, 8, driven thru the overlapping edge portion of the strip, 5, and the-shingle portion, 7.
The method of laying the roofing preferably consists in first laying the lowermost strip, 5, across the roof and holding it in place by nailing at its upper edge portion as at 9, at'suitable intervals. The first course of shingles is then laid on the said strip with the under-turned portions, 7, interposed between the lower edge portion of the said strip, 5, and the roo 4, the said shingles and strip bein so related that the lower edge of the str1p, 5,'extends to the fold of p the shingle. The shingles are then lifted at their upper ends and the nails, 8, driven thruthe. said strip, 5, and the shingle portions, 7, and then into the roof, 4. The next strip, 5, is then laid' with its lower edge portion overlapping theupper edge portion ofv the first mentioned strip the desired distance and the second course of shingles laid. thereon with their under-turned portions, 7, interposed between the overlapping. portion of the associated strips and the upper end portions of the next lower shingles, the
upper ends of the shingles being then lifted and the nails, 8, driven thru the overlappin strip portion, the shingle portions, 7, an the overlapped portion of the next lower strip, 5. The laying of the strips and shing'le courses is then continued until the entire roof is covered.
It will nowbe apparent that a roof thus constructed is weather-proof; that the shin the parts herein disclosed without-departing Y from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the attached claim, to wit;
The process of laying a roof, comprising the laying of strips of roofing material the full len h of the roof, overlapping the strips, t e upper over the adjacent lower strip, temporarily tacking them in position, and covering them with shingles having under'turned lips, the covering process comprising the inserting of the lips between the overlapped portions of the strips so that ,the shingles proper 'extend u wardly over the strips, bending the shing es hack and peatin nailing underneath them thronglithe overlapping portions of the adjacent strips, the
upper edge of the lower adjacent shingles and the undenturned lips of the shingles which have been raised, then lowering the shingles and inserting their upper ends between the overlapping portions of the'next adjacent pair of strips above, and then rethe same operations with the next row o hingles.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 30th day of. August, 1923.
GEORGE JORDAN.
