It is not necessary for my invention to have the slits made in oppositeedges oi the shingle or any two edges, as they may be made in one edge only. It is a matter of con yenience, however, to make the slits in both edges because then the shingle will accommodate itself to the varintions of separation between the shingles of the suh-course in the manner described. It will be observed thst the part 10 which is bent downwardly when the tongues are tucked und r the edges of adjacent shingles makes contact with a second course below, and thus this part fully cloces the gap between adjacent shingles of the first con se below, so that rain or snow may not be driven between the shingles and the wind cannot enter to thereby blow the shingles from the roof.
While I have merely shown a single embodiment of my invention, for the purpose of clear disclosure, it is manifest, to persons sl-zilled in the art, that changes in the arrangement and configuration of pnrtsrnny be made within the spirit and scope of the zip pended claimsi Having described my invention, what I claim es new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A shingle having it pair or" oblique slits in one edge, both slits inclined toward the central area of'the shingle to provide fastenin tongues for the exposed end of the shingle when laid upon a deck.
2. A shingle having a pair of oblique slits in one edge, and another pair of slits in another edge, the members of said pairs of slits being difi'erent distances apart, and all said slits if'clined toward the central. area of the shingle to provide outstanding tongues.
course below, and the edge between said tongues bent downwardly on a straight line into contact "with e shingle of the second course below.
5. A roof composed of a plurality of like shingles, each shingle having two tongues, each tongue made by a single slit without removing part of the shingle extendin in opposite horizontal directions from its t tom horizontal edge with said tongues under vertical edges of the respective adjacent shingles of the course below to hold the centrill part of the butt edge down,
6. A roof composed of a plurality of shingles laid in courses, each shingle having two spaced slits in its bottom exposed edge to provide angular tongues and said tongues tucked under and beneath the bottom side edges of adjacent shingles'of a lower course, the parts between the tongues lying in the spacebetween adjacent shingles of the lower course. i
In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name.
