The invention is the placing of double yshingles'on a roof or the like with the butt of the upper shingle* extending `beyond the butt of the lower shingle so that the lower I shingle will be protected from the weather and also so that water dripping ;from 'one shingle to another will strike the lower shingle a short distance from the buttV of the shingle above it. The object of the. invention is toeprovide a -shingle roof that will wear indefinitely.
Another objectof the invention is to provide a means for laying 'shingles so that there will be a shingle foundation to the roof which will be protected by other shingles at the surface. L
And a further object of the invention is to provide a means fort divertingthe drip -from one shingle on a roof to another so that it vWill be spread over the surface of the shingles; v
With these ends in view the invention enbodies the placing of double shingles on'the.
roof and the extending of the butts of the upper shingles beyond the butts of the lower shingles. Other features' and advantages of the invention, will be s een from the following description of the invention taken in connection with the drawing, wherein a The drawing illustrates a section o'f a .roof with the shingles placedthereon. In the drawings I have indicated the shingles by the numeral l, the butts of the upper shingles by the 'numeral 2, and the butts of the lower shingles by the numeral 3.
lIt will be observed that 'the first row ofshingles maybe laid double with the butts flush and then an additional -.row placed upon them with the butts extending beyond 40 the butts of the former shingles as shown in the drawing. The next row may be placed upon the first row' in the usual manner and then -anf additional row placed upon this row with the butts of the shingles of the addition'al row extending beyond the butts of the shingles of the lower row. The remaining rowsjmay be placed in the same manner until the entire roof is covered. It will be observed that it will be possible to lay the '50 shingles with more space to the weather so that it will not require many more shingles 4 to layf the roof in this manner-than in the usual manner.
It will also be observed that the shingles may held on the roof in the usual manner or may be held by continuous straps between them as indicated in dotted lines and by the numeral 4,\inwhich case the nails would be placed through the strips between the shingles. I
The shingles referred to are wood cedar shingles, however, it is understood that they may be made of anysuitable material.
Having thus fully described the invention, what I claim as new and desire .to 'secure by Letters Patent, is
A roof comprising two `rows of shingles in each course thereof, the shingles of the upper row being extended vat their lower edges to overlie the lower edges of the shingles of the corresponding bottom row, to protect the lower shingles from the weather and to provide a `drip extension.
