EPHRAIM B. REPP, OF NEWV WINDSOR, MARYLAND, ASSIGNOR TO THE ANGLO-AMERIGAN ROOFING COMPANY, OF NEWV YORK, N. Y.-
METALLIC ROOFING-SHINGLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,283, dated March s, 1884.
Application filed October 8, 1881. Renewed July 526, 1882. Again renewed February 28, 1883. Again renewed February 20, 1884. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EPHRAIM B. REPP, of New \Vindsor, in the county of Carroll and State of Maryland have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Shingles for Roofing Purposes, of which the following specification is a description.
The object of this invention is the production of triangular-shaped or three-cornered metal slates or shingles, so constructed that they can be used to form a roof alone, or may be combined with the peculiar diamondshaped shingle described in the application for Letters Patent therefor filed by me on even date herewith.
My invention consists in a triangularshaped or threc-cornered metal shingle formed of one piece of metal, the edges thereof being flanged or turned over on the shingle to form one engaging flange on the face of and two under the shingle, and adapted to be laid sothat every other shingle is reversed, and the nail-holes are protected by the eugagement of the ends of the face-flanges of adjoining shingles, thereby breaking or covering the joints.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a plan view of a roof covered with shingles containing my improvements. Fig. 2 is a face view of several courses of my shingles, showing the diamond-pointed shingles above referred to combined therewith. Fig. 3 is a top view of one of these diamondpointed shingles, the bottom flanges being shown by dotted lines. Fig. at is atop view of one of my triangular shingles, and Fig. 5 is a bottom View thereof. Fig. 6 is a top plan view, on a larger scale, of several courses of my shingles. Fig. 7 is a section on line m m, Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a section on line 1 3 Fig. 6, and Fig. 9 is a section on line 2 2, Fig. 6.
A designates the shingle, having one edge turned over to form a flange, B, on its face, and the other two edges turned under to form flanges C O on the under fside of the shingle. The lower ends, a a, of the flanges O O are provided with nail-holes s s, and these perforated ends eXtend beyond the edge of the shingle, and both endsof the flange 13 extend beyond the edges of the shingle. The other ends of the flanges O 0 meet each other at the point D, leaving an open space for the nailhole 0, and sufficient room for the ends a a to meet and lap each other over this nail-hole until the nail-holes s s and 0 correspond.
In laying these shingles the eaves-course of shingles is laid first, with points upward, the flanges B engaging with the outer edges of narrow strips of metal nailed to the roof. The next course is laid as shown in Fig. 2, every alternate shingle being laid with its point D extending downward, the flanges O O of the adjoining shingles engaging with each other until the ends a a, with holes as, meet over the nail-hole o. The fiangesBof the shingles, laid one above the other, engagetogether and overlap each other directly over the nail and nail-holes o and s s of the point D in the shingles, brought together by the flanges C G in the first course below, and so 011 until the roof is finished. It will thus be seen that one nail will serve to fasten and hold three shingles to the roof, making them very secure and tight.
The chief advantage of this invention is the absolute safety from leakage secured by lapping the flanges B over the points D of the shingles in the course next below, thereby entirely covering the nail and nail-holes o andss, and preventing any water from being driven upon the nail-holes, even during very severe storms.
E designates the diamond-pointed shingles, and l? the point thereof, provided with a nail-hole, 1). These, when combined with my improved triangular shingles, are made with upper flanges, F F, and under flanges, G G. These flanges G G project beyond the edges of the shingle, and are each provided with nail-holes z They are laid as shown in Fig. 3, and maketa tight and nice-appearing roof.
to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The triangular-shaped or three-cornered shingles A, having the flanges B and O (l and nail-holes 0 and s s, and adapted to be connect- What I claim as my invention, and desire ed together and laid to form a roof, substanstantiailyas described, for the purposes herein tially as herein shown and specified. specified.
2. The combination of the trian ular-shaped or three-cornered shingles A, h ving flanges EPHRAIM REPP' 5 B and O O and nail-holes 0 and s s, with the Vitnesses: v diamond-shaped shingles E, having flanges CHAS. DE L. YOUNG, F F and G G and nail-holes p and M, sub- ARTHUR O. WEBB.
