Patented Nov. 7; 1893.
A UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CARL B. GRAHL AND HARRY H. GRAHL, OF COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA.
SHEET-METAL ROOFING.
SPECIIIATIN forming part of Letters Patent NO. 508,105, dated November 7, 1893. Application filed May 13, 1893. Serial No. 474,124. (No model.)
Ta a ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that We, CARL B. GRAHL and HARRY H. GRAHL, citizens of the United States, residing at Council Blu is, in the county of Pottawattamic, State of Iowa, have invented certain new and nseful Improvements in Sheet-Metal Roofing, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the aceompanying drawings.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in sheet metal roofing, and it has for its objects among others to provide a simple and cheap form of roofing by which the sheets can be quickly and easily secured in place and the joint formed in such a manner as'to be secure and tight. The cap piece is so formed as to embrace the tongne of one sheet and then after the next sheet has been placed in position a portion of the same cap piece is bent thereover and the whole elamped together.
Other objects and ad vantages of the invention will hereinafter appear and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claim.
The invention is clearly illustraced in the accompanying drawings, which, With the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing two sheets in position with the cap piece partly closed down. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing portions of two sheets with their tongues or flanges and a portion of the cap piece, the partsbein g separated. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross section through the joint.
Like letters of referenee indicate like parts throughont the several views.
Referring now to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a sheet metal shingle or plate having one edge turned up at a right angle to form the-fiange or tongue (L, and B is a similar plate having its edge adjacent to the fiange of the plate A also turned np at a right angle to form the tongue' or fiange b.
0 is the cap piece; it is fermed with a hori: zontal fiange c which is adapted to receive the nails or other means by which it is secured to the roof, and with a vertical portion 0 which is bent upon itself at its upper edge as seen at 0 and thence extended downward at (1, In use the plate A is first placed in position and then the cap piece is placed over it as will be understood from Fig. 2 in which the cap piece is just about being placed in position, the space c receiving the fiange a of said plate and the fiange c being adapted to lie fiat upon the roof to which it is secured in any of the Well known ways; the plate B is then placed in position With its fiange b against the vertical portion 0 01: the cap piece as shown in Fig. 1, the plate B being crimped as seen at 6 at the edge of the fiange c, and then the portion D of the cap piece is turned over so as to embraee the flanges a and I) of the plates A and B and the Vertical portions of the cap piece, and the whole is then pressed together in any snitable manner t0 bind the parts firmly together.
What is claimed as new is- The combination with two sheets, each With a fiange and one of them crimped, as at 3, of a cap-piece having' a horizontal portion fitted within the crim p, a vertical portion arranged between the flanges of said sheets, a bend embracing the upper edge of one of said fianges, a donbled vertical portion upon the outside of the embraced fiange and a downwardlyextending portion embracing both fianges and the central vertical portion of the cap piece and covering the upper edges thereof and of the central fold, the said cap piece being provided with a bead at its free edge and slotted at the upper folded edge, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof we afix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
CARL B. GRAHL. HARRY H. GRAHL. Witnesses:
C. S. LEFFERTS, N. D. LAURENCE.
