.SPEGIFZCATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,459, dated October 30, 1883. Application tiled July20, 1893. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
it known that I, W'iLmAM Iii. Paton, of Cleveland, in 'uhocountyof (luyahogaaud State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in (Jar-Roofs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the application of preparer. paper to ear-roois, in lieu of sheet metal, and has for its object to supply a cheap and durable material for that purpose not lia ble to the dangers and changes that are at tend-ant upon sheet, metal.
Heretot'ore sheet-iron, principally galvair ized iron, has been employed in the construe tion of car-roofs. Such material is found objectionable, for the reason till-ah metals are liable to rusi and soon become worn, which ren ders them useless, and, furthermore, they are greatly affected by heat and cold, and are therefore not durable or economical.
The object of my invention is to provide a material to take the place of metal, which shall be capable of resisting all the detrimental influences and effects that oar-root's are liable to, and which shall. be strong and durable, and that will last; as long as the car will.
in the aecoin ianying drawings, Figure I isa perspective view, showing a portiouol' a carroof in which my imp ovemcut is embodied. Fig. 2 is aside elevation; Fig. 5), a cross-section. Fig. i shows one method of construct ing and attaching the paper roofing material. My new material consists of paper or strawboard prepared in the ibllowing manner: Two or more sheets of paper or straw-lmard are united by int erposing between them a coating of cement, and then subjecting them to great pressure between heated plates, which thoroughly dries and unites them together. The surfaces of these sheets are then coated with suitable paint and are ready for use. The methods of applying these sheets may be varied somewhat; but they are capable of being attached in like manner to the metal sheets.
In Fig. 4 are shown sheets having a central I corrugated rib, b, and half-ribs c c at the side edges. These ribs it over and lie on the rattl ers A, and the sheets secured thereon with nails. The abutting edges of the adjoining sheets are covered with a cap piece, (Z, of metal or the same material. Over the said paper sheetsare laid a second ridge-piece, e, pur lins f, and plate 1 upon which is laid an outer rooling of wood in the usual manner. The lower edge of the paper material B is turned down over the corner under the caves, and is secured to the molding h by nailing.
In Fig. .l' is shown the paper in llat sheets lying on a thin wood ceiling, and over said sheets are laid the ridge-piece (2, purlins f, and plate 1 The purlins and plates are cut away on their nnder'sides, except; at their hearingpoint-s, which are at; the seams of the adjoining sheets. This leaves a space abovetzhepaper and between the roof above in communication with the outer air through the spaces under the purlins and plates. in this method of constructing the roof no rafters are used. The ceiling of wood and paper has sufficient strength, together with the outer roofing, to be selfsupportin 1 This preparation ct paper for the purpose is very tough, strong, and durable, and is not; liable to be broken or punctured, as the metal is, which frequent] y occurs in loading'ficightfcars by the corners of heavy boxes or other heavy rough articles striking against it.
Illiaving described my invention, I claim 1.. In car-roofing, the combination of the described prepared paper with the rafters A and outer roof, forming an impervious ceiling to the car, substantially as described.
2. l'n'car-rooliug, the combination, with the outer roofing and a wooden ceiling, of the interposed. prepared paper and the cut-away purlins and plates, substantially as described.
3. The combination, in car-roofing, of the within-described prepared paper, substant-ial'ly as and for the purposespecified.
