Application fled l'ebruary 17,1921. Serial in. 168,868.
The main object .of this invention is to provide a guardv which is mounted at the corners of any type of frame building for the purpose of forming a leak-proof t so 1 that no seepage of water is possible at the corners. The corner guard is composed of 'a metal deformed member which extendsthe length of the corners against which the end portions of shingles, of wood asbestos and also clap, novelty, and colonial boards abut. Special features add to the adaptability of the corner guard and comprise securing extensions which are fluted to. serve as a drain for any moisture which may trickle beneath the boards and a filler which prevents a bend provided with the guard from being collapsed by an inadvertant pressure. The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawing.
Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of the corner guard to the corner of a I house which is covered on one side by shingles and on the other side by clap boards.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the corner guard as mounted, on the corner of a buildigure'3 is an elevational view as seen from one side of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is an elevational view as seen from another side of Figure 2.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates the usual upright member which is'used as part of 'the building construction in frame houses. The member illustrated forms a cornr'support and at its outer two sides has facing boards 11 and 12 secured thereto by nails or similar other means which are not shown on the drawing. The intersection of the two boards 11 and 12 forms an external corner which is adapted to be covered by the corner guard shown in the several views of the drawing.
. The corner guard consists of a rectangular strip of copper or other suitable material which at a position intermediate its width is formed into a quarter round bend consisting of a curved face 13 from the ends of which ears Hand 15 extend at right angles to each other. These ears at the point of 56 intersection continue as parallel positioned spacers 16 which extend to the corner-of the building at a' diagonal thereto.- The outer extremities of the spacers again continuetherefrom as relatively wide legs 17 and 18 which lie at a 45 degree plane to the surface of the spacers and lie flush on thesurface of the boards 11 and 12 at the intersection thereof. The surface of the legs intermediate theirwidth is provided with undulating curved corrugations 19 which 63 form channels or runways 20 for the water or moisture which may collect on the surface of the legs. At any convenient posi-'. tions on the legs of the corner guard the same may be pierced b nails 22 and the latter are secured in the material of the boards 11 or 12.
The guard is adapted to be mounted at the corners of buildings and the bend,- the ears and the spacers are reduced at one end, as shown by the-numeral 21, so that the fullsized end of an adjacent length of corner guard may be slipped over the reduced end when joining bothsections or lengths together. The legs 17 and 18 provided with the corrugations are entirely concealed from view beneath the shingles 23 or whatever other material is used to surface the-building, the usual material being wood, asbestos or strip shingles or clap, novelty oricolonial boards. The bend provided at the intersection of the legs eliminates the necessity of miterin the material with which the building is aced and'besides protects the construction in a leak-proof mannerand is quite ornamental in appearance. Should seepage occur at the corners during a heavy rain, which is sometimes likely, such seepage is carried off after being guided into the channels 20 of the corrugations.
It is tobe noted that certain changes in form and construction may be' made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
I claim;
1. A corner guard comprisin a pair of separated legs extending at rig t angles to each other, said legs being vertically corrugated, spacers extending from the legs where the legs meet, said spacers extending at a diagona to the corner described by the legs, a quarter round bend having a curved face extending from said spacers, and a filler in said bend for reenforcing the same, p
2. A corner guard comprising a pair" of 110 I v separated legs extending at right angles to tending from said face, a filler in said bend,
each other, said legs being corrugated, and a reduced end at one end of each length spacers extending from the legs where the g of corner guard for telescoping one length 10 legs meet, said spacers extending at adiaof corner guard into the end of an adjacent 5 gonal to the corner described by the legs, a len h.
