IMIROVBD SHINGLE-GARRIAGE.
'dlgs rlgthnle nitriet in in tlgttittttttrtent mit making and n tige time.
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: r l
That I, CHARLES TAM, of Northbridge, in the county of'Wrccster, and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shingle-Carriages, to be used in s hingli'n'g roofs ofbuild-A ings, of which the following is a full, clear,.and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification. Y i
The drawing represents in perspective my improved shingle-carriage as it Aappears when arranged upon the roof ofa building.
To enable thoseiskilled iuithe art to' which my invention belongs to make and use the same, I will proceed to describe it more in detail.
In the drawings, the part marked A'represents a section of one side of a roof, which has- 'been boarded preparatory to being shigled. B are the side pieces, and C C are the end pieces, which form the base of the shingle-frame. From the front ends of the pieces B B rise the pieces DVD, having slotsa a to receive the ends of the pieces E E, the rear ends of which are hinged to short pieces, which riseup from the rear ends of the side piecesB B, one of the shortupright pieccs'F only being shown in thc drawings Upon the top of the pieces E E is fastened the table G, to the front edge of which is fastened the guard-board Il'. The upright pieces D D have holes to receive pins b b. The front 'ends of the hinged pieces EE are.' also provided with a Vseries of holes 4bored in such relative positions as to come opposite holes in the pieces D D, as the pieces E E are raised and lowered. The front of the carriage is supported by whcelsTI, the journals c c of which are supported in the ends of the pieces B B. The rear'of the carriage is supported by two wheels smaller than the front wheels. Only oneof these wheels J is 'shown in the drawings. The small wheels J are supported on journals similar to-those which support the front wheels. These journals maybe wood-screws or Abolts screwed into the-ends of the pieces B B, washers d d being placed under thevheadsv of the s crews or bolts.` The/back wheels J J are filled on their peripheries with metal points e e.
The operaton is as follows: The carriage is placed upon the boarded roof, and the table G adjusted to the proper level, when a bunch of shingles is laid upon the same, from which they are taken by the workman as they are required. As the operation ofshingling proceeds, the carriage, with the shingles thereon, is pushed i along upon the roof in advance'of the workman. The guard-board H prevents the shingles sliding oif iu front. The pointse in the wheels I prevent the carriage from sliding down, and also guide the carriage straight across the roof of the building'after'it isonce properly adjust-ed in line.
By the use of my improved carriage, a workman can perform a much greater 'amount of workin the samolength of time than he can when the shingles are luid upon a stationary staging, which is the common mode in use. Again, when the shinglesfare laid or thrown down upon a stationary staging, they are liable to be scattered about, blown oit', or split by the workman stepping u'ponjthem. All these objections are obviated by the u se of my improved carriage, sinceptheshingles doc not have to be separated when they are laid upon the table G, and by laying a stick or block on the' top of the shingles, they are prevented from being blown off even by very stl-'ong winds.
'Having described my shingle-carriage, what I claim therein as new and of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A shingle-carriage, to facilitate the shingling of roofsof buildings, constructed substantially as shown' and described. l
2. The combination, with the hinged arms or pieces E E, of the table G', guard-board H, and pins b b,
substantially as and for the purposes sot forth.
