Application tiled January 3i 1899\ To @H uf/tont 'it may coince/w:4
Be it known that I, EMIL AHRENs, a citizen of the Empire of Germany, residing at Halleon-thepSaale, Germany,have iu vented certain new and useful Improvements in Tiles; of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a novel construetion in tiles, the object beingto provide means whereby the tiles may be perfectly and readily assembled and prevented from being removed by the action of the wind and means forpreventing the rain from passing ,through the roof, as might usually occur with ordinary tiles.
lVith this object in view my invention con sists of a tile having a number of suitable grooves formed between downwardly and upwardly extending ribs, and the ribs and grooves of the tilesbeing adapted to engage each other when assembled, as more fully and clearly pointed out and claimed hereinafter.
In order that the invention may be the more readily understood and carried into practical effect, l have illustrated one embodiment of same in the accompanying explanatory draw- Figure l shows two diamond tiles assembled together and constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the improved tile. Figs. 3, 4, 5, G, and f7 are sections on lines Hl Ill, 1V lV, V V, V1 VI, and VII VH, respectively, of Fig. l. Fig. S
to better illustrate the holes fo r receivingthe fasteningcramps hereinafter referred to. Fig. 9 is a sectional View on -line IX IX of Fig. 8.
In the drawings like letters "efer to like parts throughout all the gures.
The new tile may be made of any material, form, and dimensions, but preferably it is of the usual diamond form, as shown in the drawings. Near the two upper edges and on the upperside of the tile l have provided an outer rib a, rcctangularin elosssection, and an inner flanged rib I) of a similar cross-see tion, (sce Figs. l, 3, and 5,) the horizontally projecting flange of said rib b extending to-' ward rib d. The lower edges of the tile are also provided on the under side thereof with an outer rib d, rectangular in cross-sectilpn, and an inner flanged rib b' similar to l), (sce Serial No. 700,984. No model.)
`Figs. 1,2,3, 4, and (5,) the horizontally-projecting flange ot' said ribl/ extending toward rib ct-, Fig. 4. Said ribs d l), Fig. l, and ribs ci' Zi', Figs. l and 2, run parallel with the corresponding edges of the tile, and the distance between ribs a b and a' D is such that the corresponding ribs b and b' of two tiles might be hookedto cach other without. being hin' dered by the presence of ribs ri. e', as clearly shown in Fig. 7.
The ribs nl.' ou the under side of the tile ru-n along the two lower edges ot the tile, and are connected with each other, as shown in Fig. 2; but the ribs b are formed so as to leave a free space between them, wherein the lug a? on the lower end of rib a is received, Fig. l, and the' ribs d' are turned 'outward at the upper ends thereof, so that there is a certain distance'between groove formedby t-he ribs ci a of two adjacent tiles and the groove between the lugs of two adjacent tiles, whereby rain or snow pattered against the tile bythe wind is efficiently prevented from passing through the joints.
As previously stated, my invention provides means for securing the various tiles of the roof to one another, which I preferably perform as follows: Near the intersecting point of ribs tra or b b I provide two longi-` tudinally-extending holes e c, arranged side by side, and near the end of each rib ct a similar hole e'. Now when the tiles are laid in place on the roof a suitable crampfmay' be inserted, so as to engage a hole e and a hole e,as shown lx1-Figs. S and 9.
The tiles may be hooked on the lath d of the roofi ng by means of a suitable lug c, -provided on the lower side of said tiles.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim,` and desire to secure by Letters Patreadily hooked together, and the inner ribs space between them,
'von the u nder side of the ltile leaving n free .forth and for --vmrd said outer ribs,
'the under side of the tile leavingn free space 11er ribs on the upper and linder'sidefhereof the inner ribs vhaving flanges projecting t-o-f I Ward said outer y i the under side of the tileleaving a free space substantially as set the purpose specified.
