Applicationliin 14, 1948, Serial-No. 321858? 5 Claims; (Cl. 108"- -21) 'The'present invention relates to a. novel inter locking roofing-or siding, of sheet metal, designed so that .the-metallic cover sheets are securedfltogether in symmetrical, unitary-relation without the use of nails driven throughthe sheets as in conventional practice.
Whilethe invention is adapted for both roofing and..siding, it will be described as roofing for ease of description; it being'understood, however, that the-invention is not limited tothisuse.
An advantageous featurev of the invention: is the'ease of assembly of the. roofing; the initially separate parts being prefabricated ina manner whereby: said parts can be assembled readily in an interlocked, permanent roof.
A'nfurther advantage of the invention resides inutheprovision of a novel capfor the interlocked structure: which extends along adjacent ed'gesflof the coversheets; there. being unique holding means'to maintain the cap in-place.
Amadditional advantageof' the invention is that-"theu'oof," when in place; isIeak-proof and highly resistant to wind damage; the capped, interlocking structure preventingv wateraccess, as well'as accidental separation'of the parts.
A further object of the invention is to provide a practical and reliable interlocking roofing (or siding) and one which; will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed.
These objects are accomplishedby means of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as willfully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claims.
In the drawings:
Fig; 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of adjacent cover sheets, and the corresponding locking and retention strip; in separated relation; i. e. prior to assembly.
Fig.- 2 is a fragmentary plan view, partly in section, of said parts-assembled, and with the longitudinal cap part way in place.
sheets, I" which are formed. zalong-r-thei longitudinal edges thereof; with: outwardlyrsproject-ing.
right-angle. flanges. 2.
The: adjacent outwardly. projecting: flanges-'2 of cover sheets I are' formed, in-alternate relation, with square hooks3 struckouttherefrom; said square hooks 3 all facing-in the. same .direction lengthwiseofithe sheets I, and:. projecting from the flanges; 21 in a" direction away. from .the correspondingsheeti:l
The numerall 4'. indicates:- alongitudinal; locking and; retention strip formed, alongonea. edge thereof, with .an outwardly projecting; right? angle. locking'fiange. 5. The lockingrfiange 5 of each strip 4 has slotted laterally projecting ears'B' struck. out: alternately from opposite;- sides: thereof; the. slots. 1 in said: ears. being: shaped; for: the
reception or the: square :hooks :3. These slotted. ears 6 may betermedzreception eyes'zforsaid hooksli.
To assemble-theqabove. described parts ona roof," the locking and retention. strip 4 is" first secured to the sheathing or rafters by nails which pass through longitudinally spacedholes ,8. in said strip 4.
Thereafter, the. outwardly projecting "rightangle flanges :2 of the. cover sheets 2 I are brought into proximity" to opposite? sides of r the intermediate locking flange-sand thence saidsheets i are shifted in a directionto .causezthe-square hooks 3 i to: engage in the corresponding slotted ears 5; the ears 6- being struck. out from." the flange; 5 with the:samenlongitudinal.spacing as the hooks 3, andincorrespondingalternatezrelation.
Figs. 2 and. 3, and: are thus interlockedlinra syme metricalzunitary assembly.
After" inter-engagement of the-parts; as .above;
an invertedchannel-shaped, longitudinal cap 9' is engaged over the assembly of flangeStZand-B';
either bysliding the cap.9'lengthwiseethereon from one end, or by direct placement thereover. When the cap 9 is in place over the assembled flanges 2 and 5, said cap is retained against accidental separation by means of outwardly deformed longitudinal ribs H] on the flanges 2, which seat in longitudinal inwardly opening grooves II deformed in the inner faces of the sides of-the cap. This, of course, necessitates that the cap be made of inherently resilient material, in order that the ribs will relatively snap into place in the grooves.
A roof comprised of cover sheets secured together by the above described capped interlock- When the parts are inter-*engaged as abovedescribed, theyylie in; the positions-indicated:in;
ing structure is illustrated in Fig. 5, wherein is also shown the ridge flashing arrangement.
The ridge is covered by a flashing plate I! whose opposite side portions lap over the upper end portions of the adjacent cover sheets i.
The longitudinal caps 9 extend, at their upper ends, over the adjacent portions of said ridge flashing plate I 2, and are engaged in matching relation "with rectangular bosses l3 struck out transver'selyfrom said'plate I2. The upper ends of the caps 9 are closed or blind, as at M, to prevent of access of water or dirt, and preferably the corresponding ends of the bosses are closed,
as said bosses encompass or engage over the up per ends of the adjacent assemblies of flanges 2 and 5 interlocked as described. 4
4 in which the hooks are square, and the reception eyes are flat and slotted to match.
3. An interlocked sheet metal cover assembly comprising, on a support, metal sheets in longitudinal side by side relation, outwardly projecting flanges on adjacent longitudinal edges of the sheets, a locking and retention strip adapted to be secured to the support lengthwise adjacent said sheet flanges, a longitudinal locking flange projecting 'from the strip between the sheet I flanges, longitudinally spaced hooks struck from In Fig. 6 there is illustrated-amodification of x the invention, wherein the cover'shee'ts are indicated at and include outwardly projecting right-angle flanges l6 along adjacent edges.
As in theprevious embodiment, there is a locking and retention strip I! having an outwardly projecting right-angle locking flangefl 8, but here the hooks and slotted ears are not employed. Instead, the flanges I6 and I8 are locked together by rivets l9 which extend through matching holes in said flanges; One of the holes in the illustrated flange I8 is indicated at 20. The rivets I9 are of soft type so that they may be readily applied at the time of assembly of the parts on the roof. In this embodiment the assembled and rivetedtogether flanges l6 and I8 are covered in protectiverolation by a longitudinal cap 2| which corresponds tothe cap 9 of the previous embodiment. I
The interlocking roofing (or siding) of either of the desc'ribed'embodiments provides an easy-toinstall, yet permanent, roof, characterized by long wearing qualities; being leak-proof and Wind resistant. Additionally, the roofing is neat in appearance, as all of the assembled flange parts are-encompassed within the longitudinal caps 9 or 2|. .From the foregoing description it will be readily seen that there has been produced such a device as substantially fulfills the objects of the invention. as defined by the appended claims.
Havingthus described the invention, the following is claimed as new and useful, and upon whichLettersPatent are desired:
' 1. An interlocked sheet metal cover assembly comprising, on :a support, metal sheets in longitudinal side by side relation, outwardly projecting flanges on adjacent longitudinal edges of the sheets, a; locking flange disposed between said sheet flanges adapted to be secured to the support, longitudinally spaced hooks struck from the sheet flanges toward each other, and reception eyes struck from the locking flange, toward the sheet flanges, corresponding to and receiving said hooks therein. 2. A sheet metal cover assembly, as in claim 1,
the sheet flanges toward each other, and reception eyes struck from the locking flange, toward the sheet flanges, corresponding to and receiving said hooks therein.
4. An interlocked sheet metal cover assembly comprising, on a support, metal sheets in longitudinal side -by side relation, upwardly projecting straight sided flanges on adjacent longitudinal edges of the sheets, a locking flange disposed between said sheet :flanges adapted to be secured to the support, and means locking the sheet flangesto said locking flange; there being an inverted channel shaped cap of resilient material and having straight sidesv parallel to the sheet flanges engaged over the assembly of said flanges from above and from end to end thereof, and spaced longitudinal ribs on the outer sides of the sheet flanges, the inner sides of the cap having spaced longitudinal grooves in which said ribs engage in cap securing relation.
5. An interlocked sheet metal cover assembly comprising, on a support, metal sheets disposed side by side flatwise on the support, outwardly projecting flanges on the adjacent edges of the sheets, hooks struck out from adjacent faces of the flanges, the engaging portion of the hooks lying substantially parallel with such faces, of the flanges, a retention strip fixed to the support and projecting between the flanges on the sheets, locking flanges struck out from the vertical faces of the strip at substantially right angles thereto, such locking flanges being provided .with vertica slots, the hooks engaging in said slots. v
