NiTED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CLARK IINELSON, OF CRAVFORDSVILLE, INDIANA.
ROOF-CRESTING.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 464,036, dated December 1, 1891.
.Application filed October 17, 1890. Serial No. 368,403. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CLARK B. NELSON, of Crawfordsville, in the county of Montgomery and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Crestings or Copings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improvement in crestings or copings for ornamenting the roofs of buildings, the object being to provide a neat and beautiful attachment to be placed on the ridge or saddle board of buildings, and, further, to provide an attachment which may be easily manufactured and applied and which can be placed on the market ata comparatively low figure.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view in perspective of my improved coping or cresting, and Fig. 2 is a transverse section.
A represents the glass portion of the coping or cresting. This may be in one continuous piece ornamented to suit the fancy and extending the entire length of the ridge or saddle board, or it may be made up in numerous smaller pieces, as shown in the drawings, in various sizes, shapes, and designs as well as colors and attached in any convenient manner to the roof; but a convenient inode of attachment is that shown, in which the hase of each piece is broadened or flanged, as shown at a, to set in a metal shoe or plate B, folded into shape to receive and hold the glass ornaments firmly in place. These parts are readily assembled -by first fastening the shoe B to a sheathing C, as shown, by screws or nails, and then the glass ornaments are placed in position, and the edges b b of the sheathing may be bent up over the flanges a a; or the edges may be bent up first and the glass ornaments be slid between them endwise.
I have found that a coping of this character is much better in every respect than wood, metal, or terra-cotta, and at the same time it is adapted to take the place of any of them.
In addition to glass, porcelain or other vitreous material could be used, and it is evident that changes might be made in shape, size, color, and mode of attachment of my improvement Without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention; and hence I do not wish to be limited to the precise construction set forth; but, i
Having fully described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desirey to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination, with a glass or other vitreous coping or cresting, of a shoe conforming to the shape of the base of the coping or crest-ing and to which the coping or cresting is secured, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, with an ornamental coping or cresting, of a shoe in which it is sef cured and a sheathing to which the shoe is secured, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CLARK B. NELSON. W'itnesses:
