This invention is an improvement in binder boards for shingle bundles and the like, and particularly in binders of paper board and the like.

6 Boards of the character in. question are adapted .for use with bundles of shingles,

usually of composition material. One board is arranged at each end of the bundle, and

they are bound together with the shingles- Q by means of flexible strands, as for instance cor'ds or wires.

The strands must be drawn tightly to hold the bundle in compact condition, and the shingles against displacement, and the strands tend to cut or otherwise damage rovide a board, composed of relatively.

ight material and of asingle thickness of such material, having means formed from the board itself and integral therewith for reinforcing the board against acutting .action of the strands.

With this and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction and novel combination of parts fully described hereinafter, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims various changes in the form, proportion, size and minor details of construction, within the scope of the claims, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings: Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a bundle of shingles packedwith the improved binding boards.

Fig. 2 is Figure 1. Fi 3 is a top plan view of one of the boar s. a r

In the present embodiment of the invena section ,on the line 22 of o'f the board. The area within the crease lines appended hereto, it being understood that tion the improved board is shown in connection with a bundle of shingles indicated at 1+the boards forming the subject matter of the invention being arranged at opposit-e ends of the bundle.

Each of the boards indicated at 2, which may be composed of any suitable cheap material, as for instance, aper board, is of an area slightly larger t an thatof the bundle end with which it is to be used. The corners of the board are notched as shown at 3, over a depth corresponding to half the width of the excess material in one direction, so that four flanges 4 and. 5 are provided, one at each edge of the board. The board is creased longitudinally and transversely on lines .extendmg between the corners of adjacent notches as indicated at 6, so that the flanges l and-5 may be bent on the crease lines at an angle to the plane is that of the bundle end, so that when the board is placed upon the bundle end, the flanges 4 and 5 will extend beyond the faces of the bundle, and may be bent down against such faces, as shown in Figure 1. V c i The binding strands indicated at 7 and- 8, and usually of wire, are so-arranged that they cross the boards transversely, and longitudinally, and the ends of the wires are usually connected by twisting the said ends together as indicated at 9. The number and arrangement of the tie or binding wires dc pendupon the size of the shingles and their arrangement 1 the bundle. Usually there is one strand c ossing the boards longitudinally, at the middle, and two strands cross ing transversely near the ends of theboards.

A relatively light board will furnish suflicient protectlon for the shingles, but the. boards cut readily at the tiewires and some reinforcing means atthese points must be provided in order that the light board give satisfactory service.

In order to provide a simple inexpensive, yet efiicient reinforce, a plurality of tongues 10 is formed in the board. These tongues are arranged in pairs transversely and longitudinally of the board, and on lines which when the boards are used, will be occupied by the tie wires.

The tongues are formed by slitting the boards on parallel spaced lines, and connecting the lines at one end. Each tongue is arextend beyond the crease line andlap upon the adjacent flange 4 or 5 as the case may be. Thus each tongue reinforces the corner or angle between the board body and the flange at the point where the tie wire crosses, to prevent cutting of the board at such point. Wherever a tie wire changes direction, a

double thickness of the board is provided,-

without any cost for additional material. The provision of the tongues adds nothing to the cost of the boards, since the cutting of the tongues, the notching of the corners, and the formation of the crease lines may be done simultaneously with the cutting of the board from a suitable web of material.

-With some character of shingles, only transverse binding strands are used and in such case the flanges 5 will be omitted, as well as the reinforcing tongues adjacent suchflanges. In fact any or all of the flanges may vbe omitted if desired, and the location of the reinforcing tongues will depend upon the location of the strands. Referring to Figure 3 it will be noticed that the tongues are creased or scored at their junction with the body of the board, and also alongl the line upon which the will fold about t 0 corner of the bundle. sually a simple crease line is suflicient, but with some character of board, it may be necessary to score the lines.

I claim: I

1. A binder board for shingle bundles and the like, creased near each edge, the creases defining a substantially rectangular area approximatel that of the bundle-end, the portions outsi e the creases forming flanges engaging the sides of the bundle, and tongues ormed from the board adjacent to the crease I lines on the inner sides thereof and of a length to extend beyond the adjacent crease lines when bent outwardly upon the board, said tongues arranged in pairs, the members board.

2. Binder boards for shingle bundles adapted to be arranged at the ends of the bundle and to be bound theretoand to each other by binding strands, each of said boards creased near each edge, to form flangesoutside the crease lines the flanges engaging the faces of the bundle, each board having tongues formed from the board adjacent to the points where the binding strands cross the crease lines, said tongues bent outwardly and of a length to extend beyond the adjacent crease lines 3. Binder boards for shingle bundles and the like, of area slightly greater than of the bundle. end to provide a flangeat each edge of the board, and provided with tongues arranged in pairs ahned transversely and longitudinally of the board at the locations of alined transversely and longitudinally ofthe7 the bundle bindin strands, said tongues near the flange an of a length to lap uppn the flanges when bent outwardly with respect to theboard, thereby to provide reinforces beneath the binding strands at the angles of the bundle.

4. Binder boards for shingle bundles and the like, of an area substantially that of the bundle end andprovided with tongues of a length to extend beyond the end edges when '6. Binder boards for shingle bundles and the like, of an area substantially that of the bundle end and provided with tongues of a length to extend beyond the end edges when said tongues are bent outwardly, said tongues arranged in pairs longitudinally and transversely of the boards, the board having a flange at each edge to lap upon the Iadjacentface of the bundle, the tongues lapping on the flanges.

5 7. Binder boards for shing'le bundles and the like, having flanged edges, and integral reinforcements for the corners at the points crossed by the binding strands for the bundle, the connections of the reinforcements with the body of the board spaced inwardly from the junctions between the flanges and the body of the board, and of a length to extend across and beyond said junctions. Y

. 8. Binder boards for shingle bundles and the like, having flanged edges, and reinforcebiindle, extending across the junctions between the flanges and the body of the board, the reinforcements being tongues formed 'fromthe body of the board and of a length in lap upon the flanges when bent outwardly.

,Q'ltLA binder board for shingle bundles and the like, having reinforcements at the binding. strands for the bundles, said reinforcements formed from the material of the board, located adjacent the edges of the board, and of a length to extend beyond said edges and to lap upon the faces of the bundle, thereby to lie beneath thestrands at the corners of the bundle.

11. A binder board for shingle bundles and the like, having integral reinforcements at selected points along the edges of the board, the connections of the reinforcements with the board spaced inwardly from the edges thereof and the reinforcements of a length to extend beyond the said edges.

12. A blank for a board of the class described, comprising a substantially rectangular sheet, notched at its corners and creased between the notches to outline at each edge a flange, and cut at selected points near the crease lines on lines cooperating to provide tongues so spaced with respect to the crease lines that when bent outwardly the tongues will extend beyond the crease lines and lap upon the flan es.

13. A blank for a card of the class described, of substantially rectangular formation, notched at its corners and creased between the notches to form at each edge a flange, and having tongues cut from the material of the board adjacent the crease lines and of a length to extend beyond the lines when bent outwardly.

' 14. A blank for a board of the class described, of substantially rectangular forma tion, notched at its corners and creased between the notches to form at each edge a flange, and having tongues cut from the material of the board adjacent the crease lines and of a length to extend beyond the lines when bent outwardly, said tongues arranged in pairs transversely and longitudinally of the board.
