ample, and then applying a layer of wear'resisting material, such as crushed stone, crushedslate, or the like.
By the present invention shingles or shingle strips may be out from sheets of roofing material with no waste, and attractive designs may be produced when the shingles or shingle strips are installed, and at the same time provision is made for preventing the lower, or exposed ends from curling up, or being turned up by the wind.
The invention will be understood from the description in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of one form of the shingle.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a modification.

In the drawings reference character 1 in- .dicates the body of a shingle which is pro-- vided with a quadrilateral extension 2 along the middle portion of one edge thereof. This extension 2 may however be made of rectangular-shape if desired. The extension 2 has attached to the under side, or under a lower gles in a subj acent, or lower row of shingles,
when the same 'are installed, as will be more clearly explained below. The clips or holding devices 3 may be attached to the extension 2 in any convenient manner, as for example by having tongues or projections 4; thereon which penetrate into the body of the shingle, and fasten the clip to the shingle.
It will be obvious from an inspection of Fig. 4 that the shingles may be cut from a strip of roofing material by slitting the same longitudinally along staggered lines 5, joining the ends of these lines by sloping lines 6 and severing the strips transversely along the lines 7 perpendicular to the lines 5, intersecting the same at their middle points.
If the strips are cut transversely along lines 7 that are perpendicular to the lines 5, but at the ends of theselines shingles of the shape indicated in Fig.2 will be produced. It is obvious that sheets of roofing material that are two, or three, or more times the width of the one shownin Fig. 4 may be slitin a similar manner so as toproduce four or six, etc. sets of shingles like the ones shown. Instead of severing the sheets transversely along the lines 7 to produce individual shingles the sheets may be severed transversely at intervals two, or three or more times as far apart, thereby prod ucing shinglestrips with a plurality of individualshingles joined end to end without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. The word shingle in this application is intended to include either an individual shingle, or a plurality of the same joined together asindicated.
The shingles produced, as above described,
ceding row, and with the lower sides of the hooks or fastening devices 3 extending under the edges 10 of the lower shingles, and so on for successive rows.
The super-posed The modification shown in Fig. 8 is similar to that shown in Fig. 2, except that the ends 12 and 13 are made sloping, the end 13 beinstalled in a manner similar to that in connection with Fig. 5.
In the modification shown in Fig. 8 the shingles 16 are rectangular in shape, and have diagonal corners'cut off as shown at 17 and 18, the clip or'holder 19 being attached to the lower side of the corner 17. One of the other corners is provided as shown at 20 with a lip or triangular projection, one side of which 21 is parallel with a horizontal line through the shingle, the other corner may be provided with a similar lip 20 so that the shingle would be reversible, or this lip 20 may be cut ofl so as to leave a square corner. These shingles 16 may be cut from a strip of roofing material as shown in Fig. 9 along transverse lines 23 across the central portion of the strip and perpendicular to itsedgesa line 24 at an angle to the edge, and also along a line 25 parallel to the line 24, or along the lines 25 and line 26 that is an extension of line 23 depending upon whether the lip 20' (Fig. 8)
same plane and a U-shaped clip, said clip bewith the inner face of the bend of the U of said clip, said side of said subjacent shingle extending substantially. parallel with said face of said bend, and said face being in undivided engagement with said side.
4. A flexible shingle comprising a body portion, an extension at one edge of said body portion, a-U-shaped clip on the under surface of said extension, said clip when said shingles are laid upon a roof being positioned .to have the body portion of the subjacent shingle between the arms of the U, the bend of the U engaging the forward edge of said body portion.

ing entirely covered by said extending portion and having one arm thereof entirely secured to the underside of said extending portion so that the bend of said U is co-terminous with the lower edge of said extending portion and so that the other arm of the U- shaped clip may extend under the body portion of lower shingles when they are installed on a roof.
2. A flexible shingle having two portions terminating at different lines, and a U-shaped .clip secured to the underside of and entirely covered by one portion and having the bend of the U substantially co-terminous with the edge of said portion, said clip being adapted to engage the other portion of a lower shingle when the shingles are installed on a roof whereby the lower edge of said portion abuts against the inner face of said bend.
3. In a shingle organization, the combination which comprises a flexible shinglehaving a portion to be exposed to the weather, a
U-shaped clip secured to the underside of said. portion, and a subjacent shingle having a por tion to be exposed to the weather and another portion having a side thereof extend- .ing into said clip in abutting relationship ill
