This invention relates to improvements in roofing, anclhas particular reference to improvements in means for att:ichingroll or shingle roofing to a roofl in a novel manner to'-. prevent warping, buckling, and to provide-an ef'flc ent'water seal i or the IOOi'.
The .priinaryobject of the invention is the provision of roo'fcoverniig, either of the'roll a for shingle" type, including a novel attaching:
strip fornrrd in such relation to the body of I curely to a roof, in a compact'relationgat the lower edge of the covering to prevent its being lifted incident to numerous climatic and temperature variations, and to insure that the roof cover ng will he fiatat all times on the lOOfl fiIildj provide an efiicient v as taches the shingle to thereof.

I le accor 30th the roll and shing 1050i felt or other somewhatyiel ciple of the inventionissuSceptibIe of use with metallic roofing, but is I particularlywell adapted for I felt or composition mate rial, in order to makethe same practical and econom cally adaptable.
Integral with the body portion 10 is an le type of roof covering are constructed in the same'novel manner, and h each includes abod portion I I dhble nonv v metallicniaterial, although the" novel prinattachinglor nailing strip 11, of the same I material as the body 10. The felt comprising the roof covering istaken from the hot asphalt bath, and While stillhot the attaching or nail ing strip 11 is rolled andlcoin pressed entirely alongvthe lower edge of the tapering converging relation-at the opposite sides 12 and 18 thereof from the body p015 tion ylO, and preferably tjerminates at a somewhat chisel edge'15;
dition, at the juncture thereof With the shingle A Orr Bias the case maybe, in a body ;1(),: the shingle at. opposite sides has i formed therein, by rolling directly opposite each other at the opposite sides of the preferably straight grooves 17 and 18 Y shingle'yto reduce the thickness of-the shingle a or roof covering at the :junctureof the body 10 and strip 11, to provide What may be conveniently termed a hinge joint; and en able theattaching ornailing strip to. be bent n eitherdirection at either side of the body 10, Without causn g a breaklng or cracking of theshingleor roof-covering at the junc- ,ture oi the body and'na hng or attaching strip. While the forming of the nailing or attach ng strip 11 is as above mentioned preferably accomplished by compression of the material. the same may becut to tapered form, or otherwise formed, but compression thereof- "renders the same very durable; and the fact that; the;roll1ng of the nailing or p I tapered attaching strip to form is acoomg 'plishedwvhile the material or the roofj'cover ing'f is stillhot from its impregnatin a plialtibath, insures that itsvpartswill retain:
the form given them, and due to, the somewhat flexibility of the-reduced'joint at the grooves 17 and? 18, the body 10 may be bent relative to the attaching strip 11 or vice versa, without cracking or straining of parts. The importance of rolling the groove and the compression of the attaching strip while the covering is hot should not be underestimated. since there will then be no tendency for the roof covering to curl or buckle incident to heat of the sun and other temperature variations. This step in the formation of the roof covering also renders the same very durable.
The shingle type of roof covering may be made in any shape, hexagonal, diamond. square, etc., and its is to be notec that all of the roof covering, of either the roll or shingle type, is provided with the attaching strip entirely along the lower edge thereof, and in the formation of the roof covering this attaching strip is located in the same plane as the body 10, and the workmen incident to application on the roof C over? turns the body upon the attaching strip.
It is preferred that the body 10 of the roofing A or B have a slate, pebble. or other wear and weather resisting coating 20 thereon, and this coating extends entirely over the top surface of the body 10. but only extends to the joint formed by the grooves 17 and 18. and no part of this wear resisting coating 20 extends onto any part of the attaching strip.
Referring to the application of the roofing A or B on the roof C. the operator first places the reduced and tapered attaching strip 11 on the edge of the roofing as illustrated in Figure 2. and nails or otherwise secures this attaching strip at 25 to the roof. The roofer then bends the body portion 10 of the roof covering upwardly along the hinge joint formed by the reduced portion at the grooves 17 and 18, to the position illustrated in Figure 4, so that the body 10 overlies the reduced attaching strip 11, and the body 10 is then suitably attached to the roof C. in any approved manner to hold this position. It is to be particularly noted from Figure 4 that with this construction the bodv 1Q may be readily bent exactly at the point desired, and at the overlying portion of the body 10 upon the attaching strip 11 there is no unsightly liulge or cumbersome positioning of parts, incident to the reduced and durabl'y compressed attaching portion 1]. It is to be particularly noted that the grooves 17, and 18 form definite lines along the edge of the roofing, which facilitates the accurate laying of the roof covering upon the roof. without guides, if desired Successive layers of the roof covering A or B are then placed on the roof C in the relation illustrated in Figure 4, the attaching strip 11 of the roofing material always being first secured to the roof and then the body portion 10 bentover into the relation illustrated in the drawings.
It is contemplated that the reduced grooves at the juncture of the attaching portion and the body of the shingle maybe made on roofing material independent of the tapered or reduced formation of the attaching strip, and vice versa the attaching strip in its specific formation may be made without the specific groove structure joint between itself and the body of the shingle. However, for the most practical and eflicient use these novel features are used in combination on a shingle.
Various changes in the shape, size, ar rai-igement of parts and method of forming the shingles may be made to the invention as herein illustrated and described, without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the claims.
I claim:
1. As an'article of manufacture roof covering comprising integral body and attaching portions of flexible material having directly opposed grooves at opposite sides thereof extending along the juncture of the attaching and body portions to provide a reduced hinge joint thereat.
2. As an article of manufacture roof covering comprising a body portion, a reducedinteg-ral attaching strip along an edge thereof, said covering at the juncture of the strip and body portion being grooved to provide a hinge joint. V

As an article of manufacture roof covering comprising a body portion and an: iii-- tegral attaching strip along an edge thereof, said body portion having a wear resisting coating extending up to the attaching strip and the latter being free of such coating, the juncture of the attaching strip and body portion beingreducedto less thickness than the body portion or strip to provide a hinge joint for relative swinging of the attaching strip and body portion.
As an article of manufacture roof covering comprising a body portion and an integral attaching strip along an edge thereof, said body portion having a wear resisting coating extending up to the attaching strip and the latter being free of such coating, the juncture of the attaching strip and bod-y portion being reduced to provide ahinge joint for relative swinging of the attaching strip and body portion, said attaching portion being reduced with respect to the body portion.
6. As an article of manufacture roof covering comprlsing a body portion and an attaching strip formed along an edge thereof of tapered formation dimilnshlng 1n thick-o ness from the juncture of thebody' portion towards the 'free edge thereof, said covering at the juncture of the attaching strip and taching Strip foi'niedalong an edge thereof of tapered formation diminishing in thickness from the juncture of the body portion 1 towards thetree'edge thereof, said covering at the juncture of theattaching strip and body portion being transyersely reduced by 1 grooving the body inwardly of a side thereof to provide a hinge joint.
