This invention relates to a construction of tiled wall, tiled roof and the like having sheets of insulating wallboard overlaid with enamelled metal tile which are positively and not adhesively held in place against the outer face of said wallboard.
The principal object ofthe invention is to provide a strong, waterproof, insulated tile wall, tiled roof or the like which maybe readily and inexpensively constructed and repaired. vNumerous detailed objects of the invention are illustrated and described in the herein patent specification, wherein: y

In .the following description similar characters of reference indicate likey parts in the several figures of the drawings.
My invention may be constructed in various (Cl. l2-19) and sundry ways and the herein illustrated andv described embodiments thereof only constitute some of the possible forms of construction which come within the scope of the invention and of the appended claims thereof. As here shown, and referring for the present to only Figs. 1-3, the same is constructed as follows:
The usual, vertical studding 20 is employed as the main skeleton of the wall, to the exposed face of which is nailed by nails 19 or is otherwise secured the plain, flat, fibrous wallboard 21. Arranged to cover the exposed face of said wallboard 21 area plurality of enamelled, sheet metal tile 22. Each tile is independently held in spaced relation to the outer face of the wallboard 21 by means of spacing, back-slope flanges 23 which are formed integrally atV all four-edges of each sheet metal tile and extend rearwardly and inwardly from each of said edges. At the central part of each back-slope flange 23 and extending integrally and rearwardly therefrom is a pointed prong 24`pr`ovided 'with pointed 'barbs 25 which project laterally, rearwardly and diagonallyfrom the main body of said prong (see also Fig. 9) By reason vof these prongs 24 and their pointed barbs 25, each successive tile 22 may be manually pressed back against the wallboard 21 until the rear edges of the spacing, back-'slope flanges 23 have `come into contact with the outer face of said wallboard 21.
In theprocess of enamelling such a type of enamelled sheet metal tile it very frequently'hap pens that very considerable warping occurs and the tile is not caused to lie back at against the wallboard if only a moderate manual pressure is applied. In such case the workman pushes back..
the offending, protrudingv portion ofv such a warped tile until it lies backfiush with the rest.
of the tile faces. The offending tile will be forced to retain this flat, and somewhat strained position by reason of they barbs 25 of thev prongs 24 which dig into the body of the wallboard'21 and thereby restrain outward movement` of said' prongs and ofthe tile of which they form a part. The tiles are preferably so placed upon the' Wallboard that a small space is formed between each edge of each tile' and the adjacent edge of the neighboring tile.
After having pushed all'of the tiles 22 into position and adjusted their positions so that their outer faces are all satisfactorily flushwith each other, the spaces between the tile are then filled with suitable plaster or cement to form tight cemented joints 26. This cement is securely held in place by reason of the back slope of the tile flanges 23 and the consequent triangular cross section shape of said cement joints, thus causing the same to be solidly keyed in place.
Such a tile as illustrated in Figs. 1-3 is so formed that all of its spacing, back-slope anges 23 are identical in form and shape. Conse- Vquently the outer faces of such a form of tile are particularly suitable to outside walls subjected 1 to considerable moisture. Any water flowing down the face of any one tile is prevented from soaking into the horizontal cement joint 26 below by reason of the fact that the lower edge of each tile overhangs and projects downwardly and f outwardly over the upper edge of the tile which is positioned immediately below. If desiredv the central part of the tile may be strengthened to enable it to withstand a heavy, unit crushing `pressure by lling the hollow interior of said tile L '221 with a cement filling 27 prior to placing the tile against the outer face of the wallboard. If this is done, the resulting structure is constituted in the manner Ishown in Fig. 5. It is ob- Y vious that the tile constructionk of Figs. 1-3 may be likewise additionally strengthened in this manner. The outer corners of each edge of the tile are also given additional strength by the provision of corner stiffening flanges 43. These flanges prevent either the sheet metal or the celment from coming out to a nne and thereby weak edge and thereby prevent cracking of the cement lling or disgurement of the metal or" the tile. v
i In Fig. 6 is shown a flat tile 222 (similar as to wits flat shape, to the construction of Figs. 1-3) in whichthe horizontal pair of barbed prongs 24 is formed in the same manner as all of the prongs shown in all of the previous described VVtiles (Figs. 1-5) but in which the vertical pair of prongs is however of modified construction each prong'consisting of a barbed leg 24a provided with the barbs 25a and also provided at its outer end with a triangular-shaped, locking ,Y foot 28.
To understand the function of this locking foot 28, reference is to be had to the overhanging type of tile shown in Figs. 7 and 8. There illustrated is a horizontally disposed securing plate 30 constructed of a symmetrically rolled and crimped strip of sheet metal, which is made in such form as to provide along its edges a pair of angularly disposed or ared spacing flanges 3l and a central pair of countersunk, locking grooves 32, in
which are formed longitudinal rows of slots 33V and 33a extending longitudinally of said securing plate 30. The latter is supported by a supporting bracket 34 whose-bevelled nose 35 is adapted to bear flatly against the outer inclined Aor flared face of the lower spacing ange 31. Said bracket 34 is, in form, suitably supported on its companion stud 20 by means of the nails 29 or otherwise. To secure said securing plate 30 rigidly to the studs 20 and to prevent any possibility of tilting relatively thereto, the upper spacing flange 31` is also held solidly Ain place by a supplemental bracket 34a which is, in form,
identical with the supporting bracket 34 and is similarly secured in position by nails 29 or otherwise.
ter the securing plates 30 have been thus secured in position to the studs 20, the usual sheet of wallboard 21 is applied against the outer faces of said securing plates. The tiles 223 (or 222. and with or without the cement fillings 273 as may be desired) are then pressed rearwardly against said wallboard 20 so that their locking feet 28 are pushed through the slots 33 and 33a, Said locking feet 28 are then given a ninety degree twist so as to turn the same out of register with their companion slots 33 and 33a. This causes the tiles to be solidly and definitely locked to the securing plates 30 and hence to the studs 20.
In Figs. 10-12 a substantially similar construction is shown except that the tiles are of the flush or at faced type and the slots 334 and 334 (instead of being perfectly flat, as in Figs. 13, 7 and 8) are given a slight belly or swell36'provided with a retaining swell 37 to more securely hold the locking foot in position after being twisted.
In Fig. 14 is illustrated a modiedk form of the invention in which the tile is laid obliquely instead of vertically, so as to form a tiled roof covering. This construction is substantially like that of Figs. 6-13 as regards the securing of the tiles 225 and the wallboard 21a (used as aroof board) to the rafters 20a. Howeveran additional pressure plate 38 is employed to take the thrust due to heavy loads of snow on the roof, etc. This pressure plate 38 is of channel-bar shape, with the router flat face of its web resting (with low unit pressure) upon the wallboard 21a and being provided with suitable apertures 4G through which the pronged legs 24a and locking feet 28 are pushed. The lower edges of the backslope, spacing flanges 23d rest solidly on the upper face of the web of said pressure plate 38 and thereby prevent said spacing flanges 23d from cutting into the surface of the wallboard. The triangular space between adjacent tiles is sealed by a cement joint 26 in the same manner as in theV previously described constructions.
In Fig. 15 is shown a simpler type of roof tile 226. In this case a pressure plate 38a is used, the iianges 41 of which are sloped inwardly. In placing this form of roof tile 226, a strip of cement 42 is iirst applied to the opposite inner corners of said pressure plate 38a and the barbed prongs 24 of said tiles pushed through the apertures 40a and into the wallboard 21a beneath. If desired, this pressure plate 38a may also be filled with cement vin the space between adjacent tile in the manner shown at 26 in Fig. 14.
