ROOF FoR MIAUSOLEAUMS,VAULTS, 80o.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 722,392, dated March 10, 1903. Application filed December 1, 1902. Serial No. 133,423. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern/.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES E.TAYNTOR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borough of Manhattan, in the city and State of New York, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Roofs for Mausole ums,Vaults, and the Like, of which the follow ing is a specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in roofs for mausoleums, vaults, and the like, with the object in view of providing an im proved roof construction in which the seams formed by the junction of the several parts of the roof will be well protected, so as to prevent the rain from .driving through the said seams.
This invention covers certain improvements in the roof construction covered by Patent No. 635,984, granted to me October 31, 1899, which improved features of construction will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a front view of the roof structure. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section in the plane of the line A A of Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is a view of a portion of the roof structure in side elevation. Fig. 4 is a'vertical longitudinal section taken in the plane of the line B B of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a partial trans: verse section in the plane of the line C Oof Fig. 3 looking in the direction of the arrows. Fig. 6 is a partial longitudinal section taken in the plane of the line D D of Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a transverse section through a modified form of roof structure; and Fig. 8 is a vertical longitudinal section through a portion of a roof, showing a seat for roof-stones separate from the end pediment.
The frieze which extends around the structure at the top of its walls is denotedby 1, upon which restthe end pediments of the roof structure, one of which pediments 2 only is shown in the accompanying drawings. The
In the accompanyingdrawingslhaveshown three roof-stones comprising two side roofstones 3 and 4 and the central roof or cap stone 5. A seat for the ends of the roof-stones is provided along the in nor face of the pediment 2, which seat may be formed integral with the pediment, as shown at 6, (see'Figs. 4 and 6,) or may be formedseparate therefrom of brick, cement, or masonry, as shown at 7 in Fig. 8. Ribs 8 are formed-along the inner top edges of the pediment 2, which ribs vanish at the apex of thepediment and are raised a slight distance above the top'of the pediment at the side edges of the same. Shallow grooves 9 are formed in the top surfaces of the pediment adjacent to the ribs 8, which grooves vanish at the apex and top side edges of the pediment. The ends of the roof- stones 3, 4, and 5 are provided with lips 10, 11, and 12, which overlap the inner top surfaces of the pediment 2 along the ribs 8, so as to present a horizontal seam along the exterior of the roof between the roof-stones and the pediment. Ribs 13 and 14 extend along the inner top edges of the side roof- stones 3 and 4, and the central or cap stone 5 is provided with lips 15 and 16 along its edges, which overlap the inner edges of the side roof- stones 3 and 4 and rest upon ribs 13 and 14.
In the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 6,
inclusive, the top surface of the side roofstones is cut away, leaving raised transverse ribs 17 and 18, from which the lips 10 and 11 project.
In Fig. 7 I have shown the entire top surfaces of the side roof -'stones as being cut away, except to where the longitudinal ribs '13 and '14 are left.
is [effectually prevented from being driven through the seams into the interior "of the structure.
In the case of the seam between the ends of the roof-stone and the pediment this feature is further accentuated by the formation of the shallow grooves 9 along the ribs 8.
By the structure hereinabove described I am enabled to provide a roof in which the vision-lines will not be interfered with in any large degree, which will be very strong, and
' in which the seams are well protected.
I have described the structure at one end of the roof only herein; but it is to be understood that the other end of the roof is constructed in a similar manner.
While I have shown three roof-stones in the accompanying drawings, it is obvious that a greater or lesser number of roof-stones might be employed, and it is also evident that other slight changes might be resorted to in the form, construction, and arrangement of the several parts without departingfrom the spirit and scope of my invention. Hence I do not wish to limit myself strictly to the structure herein set forth; but
What I claim is 1. A roof for mausoleums, vaults and the like, comprising end pediments having ribs along their inner top edges raised above the top surfaces of the pediments and roof-stones having lips along their upper end edges fitted to overlap the ribs upon the pediments, substantially as set forth.
2. A roof for mausoleums, vaults and the like, comprising pediments, side roof-stones having ribs along their inner top edges and a central roof-stone having lips along its op posite side edges fitted to overlap the ribs upon the side roof-stones, substantially as set forth.
3. A roof for mausoleums, vaults and the like, comprising pediments having ribs along their inner top edges, a central roof-stone and side roof-stones having lips along their upper end edges fitted to overlap the said ribs on the pediments, the said side roof-stones being provided with ribs along their inner top edges and the said central roof-stone having lips along its side edges fitted to overlap the ribs on the side roof-stones, substantially as set forth.
4. A roof for mausoleums, vaults and the like, comprising pediments having ribs along their inner top edges raised above the top surfaces of the pediments vanishing at the apices of the pediments, and roof-stones provided with lips along their upper end edges fitted to overlap the ribs on the pediments, substantially as set forth.
5. A roof for mausoleums, vaults and the like, comprising e d pediments having ribs along their inner to edges raised above the top surfaces of the pediments and shallow grooves at the bases of the ribs, and roofstones provided with lips along their upper end edges fitted to overlap the ribs on the pediments, substantially as set forth.
6. A roof for mausoleums, vaults and the like, comprising end pediments, roof-stones having lips along their upper end edges fitted to overlap the top surfaces of the pediments and seats for the roof-stones adjacent to but independent of the end pediments, substantially as set forth.
7. An end pediment having ribs along its inner top edges raised above the top surface of the pediment.
8. An end pediment having ribs along its inner top edges, raised above the top surface of the pediment and vanishing at the apex of the pediment.
9. An end pediment having ribs along its top inner edges, raised above the top surface of the pediment and shallow grooves at the bases of the ribs.
10. An end pediment having ribs along its inner top edges raised above the top surface of the pediment and grooves at the bases of the ribs, the said ribs vanishing at the apex of the pediment and the said grooves vanishing at the apex and the side edges of the pediment to preserve the vision-lines thereof.
11. A roof for mausoleums, vaults and the like, comprising pediments, side roof-stones having ribs along the top of their end and inner edges and a central roof-stone having lips along its side edges fitted to overlap the ribs on the inner edges of the side roof-stones, the said central roof stone and side roofstones having lips along their upper end edges fitted to overlap the pediments, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my inventionI have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses, this 25th day of November, 1902.
