y PatentedAug. 19, 194i COMBINATION METALLIC AND INsULA'rIoN sIIINGLE l Burton 11.3111, sacramento, Calif.) Application March 15, 1940, Serial No. 324,217.-

Claims.

This invention relates to certain'new and useful improvements in combination'metallic and insulation shingle.

The primary object oi the invention is to pro'- vide a combination metallic and insulation shin'- gle wherein the shingle may be constructedoi` any size or shape desired, thesame being preferably in the form of a relatively large plate comprising a thin metallic outer wall and a backingof insulation material, such as cork or iireprooi substance with .the relatively large metallic plate designed or grooved to simulate a plurality of relatively smaller shingles.

With the above and other objects in viewthat will become apparent as the nature of the invention is better understood, the" same con-V sists in the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described,

shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing: .Figure 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of the l ridge portion of a root with the shingles forming the present invention; laid 'upon the sheathing;

Figure 2 is an outer faceview of a shingle plate with the outer metallic side grooved to represent a series of shingles; y

Figure 3 is an inner face view of` the combination shingle showing the cork or insulation lining for' the outer metallic plate, parts of the marginal ilanges of the outer metallic plate being broken laway and shown in section;

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional View taken on line 4-4 of Figure 2;

Figure 5 is.a detail sectional view taken on,

line 5 5 of Figure 2, showing the outer metallic plate of the shingle having its side edge bent to enclose the side edge o1' the insulation part of the shingle; and

Figure 6 is a detail sectional view taken on line 6--8 of Figure 2, showing the grooves in 4the outer metallic plate or the shingle to give the impression oi separate shingles.

Referring more in detail to the accompanying facilitate laying of the shingle plate. To retain the outer metallic plate and the inner lining plate .Il in assembled relation, the lower edge of the outer metallic plate carries a channel ange I5 positioned at the rear side of the'plate.- while a channel ange I6 is carried by opposite side edges ofthe outer metallic plate with said flanges lI5 and I6 enclosing the adjacent edges of the lining plate 14.

The combination shingle is of the monolithic type and. to give the impression of a plurality drawing, there is illustrated inFlgure l., -a portion of a roof structure including upwardly inclined rafters with sheathing Illa laid thereon and upon which the 'combination metallic and insulation shingles designated in general by the reference character II are laid, the peak o! the roof carrying the usual angular ridge plate I2.

While the combination shingle may be conv structed in any size and shape desired, the same for purposes 'of illustration has been shown as of oblong formation in Figures 2 and 3 and comprises an outer metallic plate I3 and an inner lining plate Il of cork, insulaqon or nreprooi. material, the lining platel Il preferably being of of shingles, the outer metallicplate I3 may be treated in diierent ways, such as by forming at spaced intervals, v,a series of relatively deep grooves Il as shown in Figures 2 and 6, and the outer metallic plate I 3 between said grooves I1 may be suitably ornamented further to enhance the appearance of single shingles in any preferred manner, such as by longitudinal corrugations. I8 shown in Figures 2 and 5 which may only extend throughout substantially one-hall' the length of the shingle if desired.

The monolithic combination shingle plate may be laid in customary shingle 4fashion as indicatedV in Figure 1 with a great saving of time, with the nished roof structure the usual relatively small shingles. f

While there is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the invention.' it is .nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may b e made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Iclaim:=.` 'f

1. In a combination lshingle of the character Y described. an outer vwall of sheet metal and 'an' inner of reproof material, channel llanges` on the side and bottom edges of the outer metallic Wall inclosing adjacent edges of the inner wall to retain the walls in assembled relation, the shingle Y being of monolithic character and the outer metallic wall of the shingle having a series of spaced ywell dened grooves to simulate a plu-- rality o! smaller shingles, .and the spaces between said grooves being longitudinally corrugated.

2. In a combination shingle of the character described, an outer wall. of sheet metal and van inner wall of reproof material, channel flanges on the side and bottom edges of the outer metallic wall inclosing. adjacent edges of the inner wall to retain the walls in assembled relation, the shingle being of monolithic character and the outer metallic wallof the shingle having a series of spaced well deilned grooves to simulate a plurality of smaller shingles, andthe spaces between said grooves being longitudinally corrugated .throughout substantially the lower half of the shingle.
