W. G. HYNDMAN. Metallic Roof.
N 241,805-v Patented May 24,1881.
UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIcE.
WILLIAM G. HYNDMAN, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
METALLIC ROOF.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,805, dated May 24., 1881.
7 Application filed March 30,1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. HYNDMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metallic Shingles; and I do hereby declare that the follown g is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a top-plan view, showing the metallic shingles connected to the roof of a house or other structure. an under-plan view of the shingles, showing them connected together; and Fig.3is a similar view, in detail, of one of-the shingles constructed in accordance with my invention.
The present invention has relation to certain new and useful improvements in metallic shingles to be connected to the roofs of houses or other structures; and it; consists in providing each shingle with one or more cleats, as will be hereinafter described, and subsequently pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, A represents the section of a root, and B the shingles connected thereto. The shingles B are preferably formed square and of any desirable size,
and may be constructed of galvanized iron, tin, or other sheet metal, and afterward painted. Each shingle B has a cleat, a, riveted or otherwise fastened at one corner, the shingles being set with the corners to which the cleats are fastened down against and in contact with the roof. The eleat a catches on the under side of the shingle next below, on either side thereof, and the shingle itself laps over the shingle below it, where the three corners of the three respective shingles overlap each other, as shown Fig.2 is.
in Fig. 2 of the drawings. driven through to secure the three corners of the three several shingles to the roof, the nailhead being covered by the cleated corner of the shingle next above. By this means three corners of each shingle are securely nailed and the fourth corner securely fastened by means of the cleat, and yet allows the shingle to contract and expand freely, as the cleat is not fastened to the roof.
These shingles can be made of any desirable form, and form a very handsome and durable roof, the shingles being very light in comparison to those constructed of slate or wood.
If desired, each shingle maybe formed with a rosette or groove or grooves, I), pressed into them, in order to ornament or stifl'en the sheet metal. The grooves shown, however, enable the shingles to be lined up, making them straight up and down.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. As an improved article of manufacture, the metallic shingle B, having connected to and across one of its corners a cleat, a, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The covering for roots or other structures, consisting of the metallic shingles B, having connected thereto cleats a, said shingles being arranged with relation to each other substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
WILLIAM G. HYNDMAN.
