UNITED STATES PATENT FFICE SIDING-REST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 331,519, dated December 1, 1885. Application filed July :25, 1885. Serial No. 172,651. (Modeld To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN MCDONALD, of Central City, in the county of Merrick and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and Improved Siding-Rest, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to a rest to be used to hold siding in position against the studs,t0 be accurately and quickly'scribed, and while being nailed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a number of studs in a building and a number of courses of siding nailed thereto, with two of the studs spaced off to determine the width of each course and the rest in position holding a board to be scribed and nailed. Fig. 2 represents an end elevation of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the rest.
A, in the accompanying drawings, represents a number of studs used in building, set at the required distance apart, to which are nailed a number of courses of siding, D, with the uppermost board, D, supported against the studs by two rests, E, in position to be accurately and quickly scribed and then nailed to the studs.
After the first or lowermost board is fitted and secured to the studs and the width of the spaces determined by the width of the siding to be used the dividers are then set and the spaces F marked off upon the face of two of the studs at a distance apart, as shown in Fig. 1.
The rest consists I, at its lower end,and apoint, G, at its upper end, extending from an elbow, H, which is part of the upper end of the bar turned at right angles thereto, which elbow also serves as a shoulder in driving the point G into a stud,and also serves to preserve sufficient space between it and the studs to admit a board as shown in Fig. 2. By the employment of this rest in siding buildings, having determined first the width between each course of siding and marked the spaces F upon two of the studs, the siding is then not only more of a bar, E,having a step,
quickly put on and more perfectly scribed, but the usual nailholes in each board are avoided, which are made by driving nails upon which to rest each succeeding board in setting them to the required width to correspond with prior courses, and to support each board while being scribed and nailed to the studs.
When a board is scribed and nailed at its lower edge to the studs, the two res'ts E are then detached and moved one space upward, and the point G driven into the studs to the shoulder H, as shown in Fig. 1.
In order to introduce the siding edgewise beneath the rest after it is secured to the stud by driving the point G, it is made thin and flexible in the middle, with sufficient spring to readily admit the siding edgewise between the step I and the stud without withdrawing the point G, and so on the rest E may be moved upward from space to space laid off upon the studs and the siding passed beneath the step I, to rest upon its lower edge to be scribed with accuracy and nailed, each course being parallel one with the other, and the siding free from the objectionable nail-holes unavoidable in siding in the usual manner.
It will be understood that while the siding is being scribed and nailed it is supported upon the steps I against the studs A, and suspended by the points H of the rests E,driven into the studs above the siding, as shown.
Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
As a new and improved article of manufacture,a rest and gage to be employed in laying siding upon buildings, made in one piece, having a rigid suspension-point, G, on one end to be driven into a joist, and a step, I, on the opposite end, upon which the siding is to be supported, and made flexible centrally, so as to permit the siding to be introduced between it and the joist and firmly held while being nailed, substantially as herein described.
JOHN MCDONALD.
