SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 279,487, dated June 12, 1883.
Application filed Mai-c118, 1853. (no model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY ANWYL J ONES, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shingles for Roofing and other Purposes, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide improved shingles for roofing and other purposes, so constructed thatthey may be conveniently applied, and will match together, so as misplaced, and will present, when thus matched together, a continuous segutters for leading rain or snow water down to the leader, atthe edge of the roof, or to the ground directly, as the case may be.
The invention will be more fully understood from the following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a plan view of a series of my improved shingles arranged and matched together in position, but trimmed off, as when covering one of the lower corners of a roof. Fig. 2 is a detail plan view (to a larger scale) of one of the shingles, showing its position rela tively to two adjacent shingles partly underlying it, according to the manner in which the shingles are matched together; and Fig. 3 is a cross-section taken on the lines at w of Figs. 1 and 2. I
The shingle is made in the. shape of an equilateral parallelogram, which may be formed from a square, but more preferably from a rhomb, e y b 2, as shownin the drawings, by cutting off from two opposite corners the triangles f 11 a and e (Z 2. The sides of and c d are parallel with each other. Equidistant from and parallel with the sides a b, b c, d e, c f are raised portions, or what I may term rises, g h i j, concave 011 the under side, thus forming a raised portion on the upper side and a cavity 011 the underside of the shin gle, bywhich rises, when matched together, as in Fig. 1, the shingles are easily and conveniently placed in the to each other. Parallel with the aforesaid rises'and the aforesaid sides of the shingle proper relative position I are four grooves, is Z on 12, the ends of which run together, as shown in Fig. 2, forming a continuous rhombic groove upon the surface of the rhombic shingle, the two lower sides, m n, of the-said rhombic groove being adjacent, or nearly so, to the two lower rises, i j. From the junction of the grooves m n to the lower corner, 0, of the shingle is formed a dischargegroove, 0, through which the rain or snow water falling upon the shingle and collected in the said rhombic groove flows down upon the subj acent shingle, and so on continuously until it reaches the leader at the edge of the roof, or is discharged directly from the edge of the roof to the ground. The rain-grooves M in n o and the rises g h vlj are all formed simultaneously in the making of the shingle, the last being made preferably of metal, or of tarred paper or like light roofing material compressed in a die into the said requisite shape. The object of cutting off the corners of, the original rhomb from which the shingle is made is to allow them to be matched together in such manner that the rises g and h of each successive shingle, from top to the edge of the roof, will be in line with each other, lQSPBClDlX GB thereby enabling the making of all the shingles of uniform size and shape, and allowing them to be matched together and held in position, partly overlapping each other, as in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows plainly how this is done, the sides a b and I) c of the superjacent shingle A being always in line with the corresponding lines of the subjacent shingles B and C, as shown in Fig. 2, and the lines I) c and a b of the subjacent shingles B and C, respectively, being parallel with the corresponding sides, I) c and a b of the supeijacent shingle A. The cross-section in Fig. 3 shows plainlyhowa superjacent shingle, A, is placed upon and matched together with subjacent shingles B and C. 'It is evident that the water-collecting grooves ZcZ m a may be made annular, or in any other polygonal shape than that shown in the drawings but for the sake of symmetry I prefer to make it as represented.
Each shingle is secured to the roof or other place where used by tacks or nails through small holes 2, (shown in Fig. 2,) which holes and nails are entirely covered up from View, and from any possibility of the rain or snow water getting access through the said holes, by the superjacent shingles covering the said holes, as shown in Fig. 1.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A shingle, a b c d e f, formed from an equilateral parallelogram, y I) z e, by cutting off two opposite corners, a'y f and c d z, saidshingle being provided with a continuous annular or polygonal groove, 70 Z m n, ending in a discharge-groove, 0, and with rises g h i 9', concave 011 the under side, said rises being arranged between the said grooves and the edges of the shingle, substantially as hereinbefore set forth.
2. A shingle, a b c d e f, formed from an equilateral parallelogram, y I) z e, by cutting from opposite corners triangles a y f, c d z, said 20 ence of two witnesses, this 15th day of September, 1882.
