ATTORNEY! United States Patent Office 2,715,730 Patented Aug. 23, 1955 SHINGLING DEVICE John W. Hageman, Dumont, N. J.
Application July 13, 1954, Serial No. 442,938
2 Claims. (Cl. 33-188) This invention relates to improvements in devices for installing shingles, and more particularly to a novel device of this kind which provides for installing in accurate horizontal alignment a plurality of shingles in two overlapping courses or in a single course.
The primary object of the invention is to provide an eificient and practical device of the character indicated above which facilitates and speeds up installation of wall shingles by enabling securing to a wall overlapping lines or courses consisting of a multiple of shingles at one time.
Another important object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and easily made device of the character indicated above which has straight edge elements for supporting the courses of shingles in accurate alignment whereby the exposed edges of the shingles provide uniform shadow lines.
Other important objects and advantageous features will be apparent from the following description and the t accompanying drawings, wherein, for purposes of illustration only, a specific embodiment of the invention is set forth in detail.
Figure l is a front elevation of a Wall, showing a device in accordance with the present invention mounted thereon and holding overlapping courses of shingles in place on the wall;
Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary transverse vertical section taken on the line 22 of Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the device shown in Figure 2.
Referring in detail to the drawings, wherein like numerals designate like parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5 generally designates a shingled building wall having already installed courses of shingles 6, and upon which an outer finished shingle course 7 and an inner rough shingle course 8 are held by a shingling device 9 in accordance with the present invention.
The illustrated shingling device 9 comprises a horizontally elongated straight edge forming body or support 10, preferably and conveniently of a length of about ten feet. The body 10 is channel-shaped and comprises a vertical web 11 having a horizontal or lateral rearwarclly projecting lower flange 12 extending the length of the body 10; and a narrower upper lateral flange 13 paralleling the lower flange 12.
Preferably integral with the rear edge of the upper flange 13 is a short vertical web 14 having on its upper edge a relatively narrow horizontal flange 15 which terminates in a relatively short depending flange 16. The depending flange 16 is in the same vertical plane as the free rear edge 17 of the lower flange 12, and parallel to the vertical web 11.
The upper flange 13 constitutes a straight edge rest for the shingles of the outer finished course 7, and the narrow flange 15 constitutes a straight edge rest for the shingles of the inner rough course 8.
On the front side 18 of the body web 11 spring clips 19 are secured at preferably regularly spaced intervals along the web, as by welding, as indicated at 20.
Each spring clip 19 is preferably in the form of a leaf spring having a straight lower portion 21 secured to the front of the web 11, an upwardly and rearwardly angulated main portion 22 extending above and rearwardly of the web 11, and a forwardly and upwardly bowed terminal 23 on the upper end of the main portion 22.
A number of preferably wooden rectangular blocks 24, preferably one at each end of the device and at the middle of the device, fill the space between the body web 11 and the upper and lower flanges 12 and 13, respectively. The blocks 24 are secured in place by any suitable means and have bores 25 therethrough which register with the holes 26 provided in the body web 11.
in use, the device 9 having been properly leveled, nails or the like 27 are driven through the holes 26 and bores 25 and into the wall 5 and/or the shingles 6 thereof, so as to mount the device 9 on the wall 5, with the flange 16 and the rear side of the blocks 24 bearing against the wall 5.
Next, a line of rough course shingles 28 are slid along the upper straight edge 15 behind the clips 19, the shingles 28 being permissibly of random widths but selected so that each shingle 28 is held in place by at least one clip 19, to form the course 8.
Then a line of shingles 29 are slid along the lower straight edge 13 behind the clips 19, the shingles 29 being permissibly or" random widths selected so that each shingle 29 is held in place by at least one clip 19, so as to form the course 7.
The shingles of the courses 7 and 8 are then nailed in the usual way to the wall 5, and the device 9 is then removed.
What is claimed is:
l. in a shingling device an elongated channel section body comprising a first vertical web having an upper lateral flange on its upper edge constituting an outer shingle course straight edge rest, said upper lateral flange terminating in a second vertical web in turn terminating in another lateral flange constituting an inner shingle course straight edge rest, and a plurality of spring clips secured to said first vertical web having free upper ends projecting above said first web and displaced toward said inner course rest, and wall engaging blocks spaced from each other along said body and secured in the space between said first vertical web and said upper lateral flange said blocks having bores therethrough and said first vertical web having holes registered with the bores for extension therethrough of fastening elements.
2. In a shingling device an elongated channel section body comprising a first vertical web having an upper lateral flange on its upper edge constituting an outer shingle course straight edge rest, said upper lateral flange terminating in a second vertical web in turn terminating in another lateral flange constituting an inner shingle course straight edge rest, and a plurality of spring clips secured to said first vertical web having free upper ends projecting above said first web and displaced toward said inner course rest, and wall engaging blocks spaced from each other along said body and secured in the space between said first vertical web and said upper lateral flange, said blocks having bores therethrough and said first vertical web having holes registered with the bores, and fastening means extending through the bores and holes for engagement with a Wall for supporting the device on a wall with the blocks abutting the wall.
