IMPROVEMENT m TILE, RooFs.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 174,021, dated February 22, 1876; application filed 1 January 8, 1876.
To all whom it may concern: V
Be it known that I, JONAS SMITH, of Lebain the county of Marion and. State of Tile Roof; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, andexact description of the same. I
The greater durability and dryness of tile and metal-covered roots, as well as the greater protection they afford against fire, have tended even in localities or districtssubject to no restrictions in respect to the materials of which buildings are composed.
My invention is an improvement in-tile the means of attaching roofs, and relates to the individual plates to ,the roof-frame, as here- -in described.
- reverse or under side of the same; and Figs.
3 and 4 are, respectively, longitudinal and cross-sections thereof.
The tiles or plates A closely approximate a and are each provided with a flange or lug, a, attached transversely to the under side at about the middle thereof. Said lug is formed of the same ma and practically in one piece therewith. It has a right-angular form, as shown in Fig. 3, so as to clasp over the'crossbars 0, which are grooved or rahloeted on the under side and upper edge, as represented. This, or an equivalent construction of the bars,
recent years,
is necessary to'enable the tiles to be attached at points immediately over each rafter D. To attach the tiles or plates A to the root'- frame.
bet of said bars 0, as shown in Fig. 3. They are thusheld securely in place, but may be adjusted laterally as required to make perfect joint with those which overlap or are contiguous.
The lapped portions of the tiles or plates are provided, respectively, with ribs 0 and corresponding grooves 6, Fig. 4, to prevent water finding its way through the joint.
The top row of half-length or triangular tiles or plates A are, preferably, provided with perforated lugs 11, and secured between two contiguous bars, 0, by means of pins It is:apparent the tiles or plates are applicable to form a covering for the sides as well as the roofs of buildings.
I do not claim the form of the tiles, broadly, nor attaching them to a roof-frameby means of lugs, projections, or prongs; but I reserve the right to .make an application for a design patent'for the ornamental comb or roof-cap shownin Fig. 1. e
What I claim is- .-The plates or tiles A, provided with the flange or lug a, bent at aright angle, in combination with the rabbeted. cross-bars O of the root', as shown and described.
