JOHN L. FAULI-IABER, OF FOSTORIA, OHIO.
RooFlNc.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,512, dated January 14, 1890.
Application filed November 12, 1889. Serial No. 330,012. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN L. FAULHABER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fostoria, in the county of Seneca and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Roofing, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to metallic rooting.
The object of the present invention is to provide a metallic roofing in which the sheets will be compactly secured together without liability of their becoming accidentally loosened from a roof by the contraction and eX- pansion of the metal.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully' described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of the roof constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view. Fig. 3 is a similar View showing one of the sheets and an anchorpiece. Fig. 4. is a detail view of the cap. Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view illustrating'a modification of the invention.
Referring to the accompanying drawings by letter, A designates a sheet of rooting having its longitudinal edges a bent up vertically and provided along their edges with tubular beads a', around which are clamped similar and slightly larger beads b of anchorpieces B. The anchor-piece Bis secured to the sheathing of a roof in the ordinary manner, and its bead or tubularupper edge bis clamped around one of the adjacent tubular edges, which is made slightly smaller than the tubular portion of the anchor-piece. The other adjacent edge of the opposite sheetAis provided with a bead or tubular portion that is slightly larger than the similar portion ofthe angular piece, and this tubular portion a is clamped around the anchor-piece, and the edge of the plate arranged within the anchor-piece, thereby forming a iirm and compact seam, the
parts of which support and brace each other and securely prevent the sheet being torn accidentally apart and becoming separated from the anchor-piece. The beads or tubular porto inclose semicircular edges of the sheet A and form a compact circular seam. The tubu'- lar top of the anchor-piece and edges of the sheets A are clamped and secured together by tubular caps O. By this construction a perfectly solid and compact seam, possessing great strength and stiffness and capable of evenly distributing the expansion and contraction, is provided.
A round cylindrical piece of packing D, which is soaked in any suitable water-proof or cement, is inserted in the tubular opening of the seams and ren ders the joint perfectly water-tight. L
From the foregoing it will readily be seen that a metallic roofing constructed in accordance with this invention is simple and inexpensive in construction, adapted to be readily attached to an ordinary roof, and is capable of receiving a packing that will render the seam perfectly water-tight.
Having described my invention, what I claim Y is-- l. In a metallic roofing, the combination of an anchor-piece provided at its upper edge with a tubular bead b, the sheets A, arranged adjacent to the anchor-piece and having their upper edges provided with curved beads or edges conforming to the configuration of the tubular bead of the anchor-piece, and a tubular cap tting over the anchor-piece and the edges of the sheet, substantially as described.
2. In a metallic rooting, the combination of an anchor-piece provided with the tubulary bead b, and sheets arranged upon each side of the anchor-piece and provided with similar beads d, conforming to the configuration of the bead b and adapted to iit the same, and a tubular cap inclosing the edges of lthe anchor-piece and sheets, substantially as described.
3. .In a metallic rooting, the combination of the anehowpiece provided with n tubular myown I have hereto affixed my siglmturein bead Z), the sheets provided with Simiifirbeads presence of two Witnesses. a', adapted to fit within or around the heads JOHN L FAULHABFR Z1, a tubular cap C, and a cylindrical piece of J 5 packing arranged Within the tubular seam, XVitnesses:
substantially :is described. DAVID R. BALLMER,
In testimony that I Claim the foregoing as THOMAS HESSEY.
