10 Claims.
This invention relates to a fiashed structure comprising corrugated sheets or the like and particularly to such a structure comprising flashing strips of serni-rigid material. A preferred ein- .bodiment is a building structure including corrugated sheets forming joints with other sheets and flashing strips comprising bituminous fibrous material closing the said joints.
Advantages in the use of corrugated sheets of structural material are well,V known. Thus, it is understood that the corrugation adds strength to the sheet. Corrugated sheets of rigid, strong, non-corrodible material, made, for example, by highly compressing and shaping a Wet mixture of Portland cement and asbestos fibers and then allowing the resulting sheet to harden, are especially desirable in building construction.
On the other hand, there have been encountered certain diculties in the use of corrugated sheets, particularly stone-like sheets such as those oi Portland cement and asbestos iibers, in building structures. For example, there has been, up to the present time, no completely satisfactory method of closing or flashing the joints between such corrugated sheets and plane surfaces, or between the corrugated sheets and other corrugated suriaces which, because of the angle of joining or other reasons, do not mesh or conform with each other. This dimculty may be illustrated by the case of a typical building structure including corrugated sheets. Such a building contains a. joint between the corrugated sheets and a ridge roll or cover, usually with either an edge or a plane surface. If the crests -of the corrugations contact with the straight edge or plane surface, there will remain openings corresponding to the depressed portions of the corrugated sheet. Again, there will be open spaces between the crests of the corrugations and the edge of an upright wall at the eaves and usually also at the gables. Furthermore, flashing the corrugated sheets against plane surfaces will be necessary in cases of door and Window jambs, heads and sills and also at the water table of the foundation.
In flashing corrugated surfaces against flat surfaces, there has heretofore been used one of several expediente, none of which is entirely satisfactory. Thus a' stripof felt may be used. lMore commonly, in constructing buildings with corrugated stone-like units, there has been used a soft material which is inserted in plastic form in the space between the corrugated and the plane surfaces and then allowed to harden. Thus, there have been used compositions comprising a cementitious material such as plaster or concrete, sawdust, and/or other ingredients. Also, putty has been used.
Felt is not impervious to water or wind. Furthermore, unprotected vegetable iibers are subject to decay when exposed to weather.
Concrete, plaster, and putty compositions are inconvenient to apply and, after final hardening, are brittle and readily cracked. Also, if success-I ful in closing a joint, they tend to bind the val@ rious parts of a building into a structure adapted. to vibrate as a whole.
Itis anobject of this invention to overcome the disadvantages of corrugated structures that have been mentioned, to provide a completely 15 flashed building comprising corrugated sheets, and/or to provide a novel ashing strip. Other objects and advantages will appear from the detailed description that follows.

In the various gures, like reference characters denote like parts.
'I'he building structure may have corrugated roofing sheets I, ridge portion 2, corrugated siding 4 adjoining the roong along an eaves portion 3, a window 5, a sill or water table portion 8 (Fig. 8), corrugated upright end walls meeting the roof along the rake 1, a door 8, and a corner portion 9.
The ridge portion may include an angular o-r inverted trough-like cover piece I8 extending over the joint I8 formed between two corrugated roof sections I, adjoining at an angle, a filler or iiashing strip I2, a fastener such as the bolt I3 with head I4, and shank portion I5 adjacent to the head, that are covered with non-fragile, noncorrodible, non-vibratile material, as, for example, lead, and a member such as the ridge toggle plate I6 bearing on the undersurface of the two sections of roofing. The fastener or bolt passes through a hole in the angular cover and also through a hole in the ridge toggle and is secured therebeneath, as by means of the nut II.
This structure makes possible holding the angular cover or ridge roll and the corrugated sheeting tightly against opposite faces of the flashing strip.
The angular cover or ridge roll is suitably semitubular, made in long sections, say'lO feet long, rigid, and of impervious material. It may be formed by sawing longitudinally, into two halves, a pipe comprising a compressed and then hardened wet composition of Portland cement and asbestos fibers. In the finished assembly, the ridge roll may comprise a plurality of the semitubular sections abutting in end to end, non-overlapping relationship.
Under the joint between abutting ends of the ridge roll there may be inserted an internal batten I9. This batten is a separate member of short length, say 6 inches, and of cross section of dimensions and shape to adapt the batten to t snugly under the abutting ends of the two sections of the ridge roll. For example, when the ridge roll consists of long sections of semi-tubes of 31A inchesradius, the internal batteri may be a short semi-tube of smaller radius than the ridge roll, say 3 inches. The semi-tubular ridge roll corresponds approximately to an arc of 180, whereas the semi-tubular batten member may be something less, say 150, this difference being especially desirable when the ridge roll rests in grooves in the ller strips and the hatten rests on a shoulder of the strip, as illustrated in Fig. 3.
The ashing or filling strip I2 may have a transversely undulated or corrugated surface 20 which meshes with or conforms to the corrugations in the sheets of roofing material. Also, the strip may have a longitudinal notch or groove 48 in the surface or face oppositely disposed from the said 'undulated or corrugated surface, to receive and seat an edge of the semi-tubular ridge roll or flashing member I0. The strip has two other sides, 23 and 24, that are suitably flat. 5
Since the sheets of corrugated roofing material that are stone-like'have appreciable thickness and since these sheets have longitudinal (side) overlaps, the average space between the side of a corrugated sheet thatlies over an edge cf an 10 adjacent sheet and the edge of the ridge roll may be less than the average space at the side of the sheet that lies under the edge of an adjacent sheet. To offset this gradual narrowing of the space towards one side of a sheet, the filler strip, 15 extending transversely with respect to the overlapping side portions of the sheet, has a thickness that is less at one end of the strip than at the other, that is, the average distance between the face 25, which is placed towards-the plane sur- 20 face (in this case, the ridge roll), and the corrug'ated face 20, which is placed towards the corrugated sheeting, is tapered. For example, the average thickness of the filler strip illustrated in Fig. 4 is tapered and becomes less towards the 25 end 22. The amount by which the filler strip is thinner at the end 22 than at the end 2I may correspond approximately to the thickness of a sheet of the corrugated material. When this is the case and the strip is made as long as the 30 distance between an edge of the corrugated sheeting and the edge of the next sheeting which overlaps the first, say nearly 3 feet when the full width of the individual sheets is 3 feet, the strip is adapted to close the space or joint between the 35 ridge roll and the end of an underlying corrugated sheet.
In some cases, when the notch 48 is not necessary to maintain contact or engagement with a. surface, as, for example, when it isnot necessary 40 to engage an edge of a member such as a ridge roll, the notch or groove may be omitted from the face of the filler strip. Thus there may be use d a strip of a pattern illustrated in Figs. 5. This strip 21 has a corrugated surface 20 and an op- 45 posite face that is plane. Fig. 5 shows a strip abutting at ends 2| and 22 with similar strips 25. It will be noted that the strips are tapered in thickness from one end to the other. When overlapping sheets are laid over an assembly of 50 filler strips such as illustrated in Fig. 5, the lower sheet at an overlapped joint will have an edge abutting the portion of a filler strip projecting above the end of an adjacent filler strip, as at ends 2I and 22. 55
It should be added that the filler strips need not be tapered, even in an assembly comprising overlapping thick sheets of corrugated material, if both sides of each of the said sheets are equidistant from the surface with which they are flashed.
In the eaves assembly, illustrated in Fig. 6, there is shown again a filler vstrip with one face grooved, at 48. In this case the groove is sufciently wide to receive the undulating edge of the upright corrugated sheet or siding. The upper surface of the strip is transversely corrugated to conform with the surface of an overlying sheet. 'I'he upper surface 28 may have certain features which were not described in connection with, the filler strips above. Thus, the upper surface of the strip may be sloped in the direction of the pitch of the roof, to give to the'ller strip a cross section that is a right trapezium, suitably with the base thereof notched. Furthermore, the slopof the strip.
Where desired there may be used a metal clip such as the Z-clip 29 for assisting in holding the filler strip in position. Such a clip may be secured at one end to a wall or roof of the building and may project at theother end alongside the filler strip in such a manner as to limit the movement of the latter.
The corner assembly illustrated in Fig. 7 shows a senil-tubular flashing element 4l placed over the Vertical joint between two corrugated sheets meeting at an angle, with the corrugations in each extending in the same direction. In the case illustrated, the two sheets meet, that is, actually meet or approach each other at approximately a right angle and the corrugations extend upwardly. The semi-tubular flashing element is held firmly to sheets on each side of the joint by means of avbolt with head 3 I, shank 32, and a nut 33, as illustrated. Here again, the head of the bolt and the portion of the shank adjacent to the head are suitably covered with non-fragile, noncorrodible, non-Vibratile material, preferably a metal, such as lead, tin, or the like. The covering on the shank may be tapered to adapt the shank to fit snugly into an oversize hole. The bolt may be 1/4 inch in diameter of 'the uncovered portion of the shank, for example, and it may fit snugly at the covered portion of the shang into a hole of -l-g inch diameter.
In this corner assembly there is illustrated a portion of the supporting column 34, as well as girts 35, these composing a part ofthe supporting substructure of the building. Other parts of the substructure such as rafters, beams or studs are not illustrated, inasmuch as the supporting substructure may be of conventional design. Conventional means of attachment of the sheets to the substructure may also be used.
In the sill detail shown in Fig. 8, there is a concrete base or foundation 35 of the building, with sloping watertable 31 against which vertically corrugated sheets are flashed by a filler strip of the type 21.
The same type of filler strip may be used in flashing another plane surface to a corrugated surface, in which the corrugations of ,the surfaces run vertically to the direction of the joint between the two types of surfaces. Thus, in Fig. 9 there is shown the flashing of a door or window head 38 to upright corrugated sheeting 4I by means of the flashing strip 21.
The flashing of a door or window jamb 50 (Fig. 10) with vertically corrugated sheeting 40 and vertical studding 5I illustrates the condition in which a plane surface is flashed against another surface that is provided with corrugations extending in a direction parallel to the zone of flashing. In this case there is used a filler strip 39 that is corrugated or undulated in a direction parallel to its length.
A filler strip 39 of the same type is useful in flashing the edge of the end wall or gable 52 to corrugated roong 53 at the rake portion, as illustrated in Fig. 11.
The method of flashing overlapping Acorrugated surfaces that conform to each other is illustrated in Fig. 12. Through a hole inthe two conforming sheets in the zone of overlapping,
there is inserted a bolt with head 3| and shank 5 32, both being covered with non-corrodible, inelastic material, the covering on the shank being preferably tapered. The bolt is provided with a nut 33 which is engaged below the underside of the overlapping sheets whereby the sheets 42 and 43 are held tightly together. Since the bolt is preferably inserted with the head portion exposed to the weather, if any partis tobe exposed, the parts below the head and the portion of the shank adjacent to the head need not be completely non-corrodible. The inelastic lead contact with the structural units minimizes the transmission of vibrations from one unit to another. The lead being a diicultly flowable solid adapts the coated shank to be fitted tightly into a hole. By using such a construction I have found that electrolysis and corrosion under the conditions of use are not serious. The bolt may be constructed of any suitable, strong material with an exterior that ls corrosion resistant, as, for example, zinc or chromium-plated iron or steel, aluminum, or brass. The structure with the bolt, as illustrated in Fig. l2, for example, has irnportant advantages over a nail with lead-covered shank. The close, permanent fitting of the lead 30 taper on'the shank of the nail is jeopardized either by probable injury to the soft shank as the nail is pounded into position or by the gradual'but appreciable flowing of the lead under pressure and vibration in the finished assembly, with no means of correction. In the applicants structure referred to, the lead covered shank is tightened in position by the means 33. With this type of fastening member, there is no need of hard driving of the member into place, with possible attendant injury to the soft lead; by tightening of the nut 33 at intervals any looseness occasioned by the flowing of the lead may be corrected and the tightness of the fit reestablishcd.
A modification of the fastening element that 45 is illustrated in Fig. 13 comprises a bolt (shown in phantom), suitably cadmium-plated iron, 1nserted through a lead thimble including the sleeve 44 and the attached washer portion 45. After the bolt is inserted through members that the bolt is to hold together and has been secured by means of the nut 33, the exposed head of the bolt is suitably covered with a non-corrosive and noncorrodible putty. However, such covering is usually Aunsatisfactory in that it is occasionally cracked off, for example, with consequent exposure of the iron bolt head. The head then rusts.
The flashing or filler strip is preformed and may be composed of a bituminous or other plastic composition, suitably with a fibrous reenforcing and s tiffening material. Thus, the strip may be composed of bitumen and asbestos fibers. A composition that is preferred at this time is one comprising asphalt and rag fibers, in about the proportion commonly used in asphalt saturated roofing paper.. Such a composition may contain an admixed finely divided inorganic filler, to de- A crease the susceptibility of the asphalt to change in viscosity with temperature. For this purpose, there may be used ground limestone or comminuted diatomaceous earth inv the proportion of a few percent, say 3 to 5 percent, of the weight of the other ingredients. Compositions and processes used ln making so-called asphalt planks may be used. Sheets or planks so made may be cut, finally, into flashing strips of shape and size desired.
Thus, a bituminous fibrous composition adapted for use in making asphalt planks may be warmed, say to about F., and extruded in the form of a sheet of thickness approximately equal to the width desired between the two oppositely disposed flat faces of the filler strips illustrated, for example, in Fig. 5. After being cooled, the sheet is cut transversely into strips of the desired dimensions and shapes of surfaces. Strips averaging 2% inches square in cross section and about 3 feet long have been used.
Such strips used in flashing have several important features in addition to those that have been mentioned.
Being non-vibratile, that is, not readily set in vibration, they minimize the transmission of vibration from one section of a, building to another flashed thereto. Also, they serve to a certain extent t0 damp vibration within a given section.
The strips are semi-rigid.
They are sufficiently plastic to conform in time to a slightly uneven surface over which they are placed.
Also, they seat themselves on a rough surface, such as one of Portland cement and asbestos, and develop in time considerable adherance thereto or footing therein.
On the other hand, ethe strips made as described are not so plastic as to flow out of a joint and thus leave an empty space.
The asphalt impregnation of the fibers in the strips is so thorough as to produce impermeability to wind and water and to protect the fibers from decay.
The strips are of low first cost.
They are reusable. Thus they may be removed from one assembly and installed in another.
The impregnated strips are not subject to deterioration on aging to the extent that rubber, for example, is. However, vvulcanized rubber strips may be used in a structure in which it is not essential to have a strip possessing great durability, a strip that will deform gradually of its own weight to fill a minor underlying space, or a strip that will slowly foot itself in a rough surface.
In general, compositions usable in the filler strip should be weatherproof and waterproof, non-corrodible, somewhat yieldable or semi-rigid, that is, deformable to a limited extent at least without cracking, and non-vibratile, that is not adapted to be set in vibration by impulses applied thereto. Other properties mentioned in connection with the description of the asphaltrag fiber compositions are desirable but may be omitted if their functions are not desired in a given structure.
'Since the flashing strips in the preferred embodiment of the invention are provided with a corrugated surface that conforms with the corrugations of the corrugated roof or side wall sections and since another face of the flashing strip conforms with the surface with which the said corrugated sheeting is being flashed, a closed joint is obtained. The ashing strip being weatherproof and water-tight, entrance of moisture through the joint is minimized or entirely eliminated.
On the other hand, the flashing strip does not bond itself to the surfaces that are being flashed in such a manner as to give an elastic or rigid bond that, if formed, might transmit vibrations.
It will be observed that the structure illustrated in Fig. 1 and in detail in certain of the other figures, is completely flashed at every position where a. corrugated sheet meets another unit of the structure.
Since many variations from the details that have been given may be made Without departing from the scope of the invention and since the details given are for the purpose of illustration and not restriction, it is intended that the invention should be limited only by the terms of the claims.
