Description
Aug. 4, 1936. M. CREIGHTYON SHINGLE Filed June 28, 1955 I Inventor Mei/1} 6, 5 4% A Home)! Patented Aug. 4, 1936 girlie STATES ATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in roof and wall shingles and an arrangement for laying said shingles.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a shingle construction, constructed in such a manner as to permit interlocking of the shingles in such a manner as to make the resulting roof or wall waterproof and dampness proof.
During the course of the following specification, other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 represents a top plan view of a section of a roof laid with the improved shingle.
Figure 2 represents a sectional view taken substantially on line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 represents a fragmentary perspective View with parts broken away showing a pair of the shingles laid together with the packing strip about to be placed in position.
Figure 4 represents a slightly modified form of shingle, especially adapted for use in constructing side walls.
Referring to the drawing wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that the shingle consists of a plate 5 of suitable material provided at a pair of its adjoining edges with upstanding walls 6 provided with inturned flanges 1. The remaining edge portions of the plate 5 are provided with depending walls 8 and inturned flanges 9.
The upstanding walls 6 are provided with eye members It] and the corner portions of the plate 5 at the free ends of the walls 6 are cut away as at H sothat the shingles can come corner to corner to match in the manner shown in Figure 3.
Numeral l2 designates an elongated packing strip which is disposed in the channels defined by the upstanding walls 6 and the inturned flanges I. When this packing strip has been disposed in place and a nail is driven through each of the eyes I!) into the underlying raft Hi, the next shingle 5 is engaged over the flange 1 and then pulled outwardly so that its flange 9 engages under the packing strip l2 and assumes an interlocked relation such as is clearly shown in Figure 2, so that when this interlocking of the shingles is carried on a unitary roof structure will result as partly shown in Figure 1.
Figure 4 discloses a perspective view of a side shingle with parts broken away showing the rear construction thereof. This shingle consists of a plate 20 having end and side walls 2l22 respectively disposed in a manner suggesting bevelled edge portions for the plate 20. From one of the side walls 22 and one of the end walls 2| an outstanding continuous flange 23 extends,
while from the remaining side and end walls iii-2| inwardly extends the flanges 24-25.
A backwardly disposed wall 26 is provided at the longitudinal edge portion of the flange 23 as shown clearly in Figure 4. The wall 26 opposed to the corresponding side 22 is provided with a cut-out portion 21. The longitudinal edge portion of this last mentioned wall portion is provided with a pair of inturned flanges 2828 in substantially parallel relation with respect to the adjacent outstanding flange 23. The wall 26 is provided with struck-out members 29 defining nail receiving loops through which nails can be driven to engage into a base structure such as M. The corner portion of the shingle that is between the inturned flange 28 and the inturned flange 28a is cut away as at 30. The inturned back flange 24 is structure providing depending tongue 3! which will engage into the cut away portion 21 of the underlying shingle (not shown) The foregoing form of side shingle is employed for all forms of vertical wall structures and will be substantially water and moisture proof.
In regard to the first form of the invention, the inturned flanges on the upper and lower corners of the shingle as laid on the roof are cutaway to allow the packing to extend up and down through these openings and engage the shingle plate at the free ends of the inturned flanges, and. thereby seal the opening between the two side shingle plates at this point where the upper corner of the lower shingle and the lower corner of the upper shingle engage with the free corners of the side shingle.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
In a roof construction, a row of shingle elements, each shingle element consisting of a plate provided at a pair of its adjoining edges with upstanding walls each provided with an inturned longitudinally extending flange, eye members on the said upstanding walls, the remaining edge portions of the shingle plate being provided with depending walls having inturned flanges, a packing strip for disposition into the channel defined by the upstanding walls and their inturned flanges, the corner portions of the plate at the free ends of the upstanding walls being cut away to provide abutting straight edge portions for a row of shingles when assembled, and allow a single continuous packing strip to be used on each side of an entire row of shingles.
