NEW JERSEY, ASSIG-NORS TO THE BARRETT COMPANY, .tli. CORPOI-MMEION 015 NEW Application filed .l'uly 1 8,
This invent-i n relates to a flexible shingle which may be of the sort that is commonly made by saturating a base of so'called felted fibrous material with a saturant such asasQ phalt, then, covering this saturated base with m usually cut into shingles or shingle strips and a plastic layer, suchas asphalt or the like, and thereafter applying wear resisting material such as crushed stone, slate etc. fiiheetsof rooting material of this sort are with the accompanying drawings in which shinges as installed.-
Fig. 1 is a plan View of one ofv the shingles. Fig. 2 is a plan View showing how several shingles are installed on the roof.
Fig. 3 is an end View partly broken away, showing the relative position of some of the Fig. l-is a plan view of a'modification of the locking, device.
In the drawings reference character 1 represents a shingle which hastwo-of its opposite corners cut away as shown at 2. A short distance from one of the other corners 4. notches are cut into the edges of the shingles along lines 5 perpendicular to the edges and lines 6 parallel to thediagonal joining the corners3 and 4. Inthis way a tab is left at one corner 4 of the shingle and two smaller tabs Tand Sare left adjacent thereto. The tab including the corner 1 may be turned under alongthe dottedtqine 9 at the upper ends of the notches in the edges of the shingle. A locking device 10 which may be made of wire having eyes at each end thereof, or may be made of a thin strap 11 (Fig. 4) which has holes at the ends thereof, maybe fastened by a fastener 10' near one of the cut away corners 2 as shown in Fig, 1.

While this shingle is being shipped, this locle jug-strip 10 may be turned so as to lie within tween them. As the shingles are being laid in horizontal rows the locking straps 10 are placed so as to bridge the space there-between, and nails or fastening devices 12 and 13 are passed there-through into the roof deck, as more clearly shown near the upper portion of The tabs include the corners l of shingles that are to be installed in the next higher row, and are turned underand inserted under the locking strips 10 between the cutaway corners 2 of shingles in the preceding row of shingles. These tabs are slipped upwardly until the bent portion along the line 9 reaches the locking strips 10 whereupon the smaller tabs or shoulders 7 and 8 will lie upon and conceal the nails or fastening devices 12 and 13 and one side of these tabs 7 and S will be flush with the edges of un- (lei-lying shingles as is clearly seen in Fig. 2.
It will be seen that by this invention a very lock for the lower portion of shingles is provided, there is practically no loss in cutting the shingles from a sheet of rooting material, the shingles can be conveniently packed, and presentan attractive pat tern when they are installed upon the roof.
-lVe claim:
1. A flexible shingle having two notches in two adjacent edges thered'f forming one in termediate and two side tabs, one side of each of said notches being substantially perpendicular to the edge in which it is formed, and the other sides being substantially parallcl to each other the intern'lediate tab being turned under to form a fastener engaging hook and theside tabs extending in the plane ofthe body of the shingle.
2. A flexible shingle having a central point- I ed tab formed at its lower end and a tab on each side of, and ZtClJZtCGIll) to said first named tab, the respective sides'of the outerextremi ties of said tabs beingparallel to each other retaining hook the central tab being turned under to form a and the sidetabs extending in the plane of the body ofthe shingle.
3. In a roof, shingles having-turned under cornersandcut away corners, fastening devices secured to and extending between cut away corners in a horizontal row, said turned and a under corners in one row concealing and being held by said fastening devices in a lower row.
4. In a roof, shingles having three tabs 'on one corner thereof one of said tabs being turned under, a fastener for said tab secured to and extending betweenadjacentcut away corners of other shingles, the other tabs covering the ends of said fastener.
5. A flexible shingle having notches in its I tener of another, shingle..
6. A shingle having its lower portion formed with downwardly converging side' edges, said shingle having two laterally spaced apart downwardly projecting tip members at its lower extremity, and an underturned tab member folded on a line connecting the base portions of said tip members.
7. A shingle cut inwardly substantially at right angles to the opposite edges of the shingle adjacent the, lowermost corner p'drtionthereof, and said corner portion being turned under the shingle on a line; of fold extending between the inner endsof the cuts, whereby downwardly projecting tips are provided on the shingle'at the opposite ends ofthe line gffold of theunderturned corner tab memer.
