WILHELM LUDOVVIOI, OF TOCKGBTM, GERMANY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 754,578, dated March 15, 1904.
Application filed July 16, 1903. Serial No. 165,892- (No model.)
To aZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, VVILHELM LUDOWIOI, a subject of the -King of Bavaria, residing at the city of Tockgrim, in theKingdom of Bavaria, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Govering the Valleys of Tiled Roofs; 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in means for covering the valleys of tiled roofs.
The object of my invention is to provide means whereby the sides of a roof which are separated by valleys and are of any angle of inclination are united to form a continuous surface and to form beneath the point of on with marginal ribs on both sides over the valvalley so covered.
ley, constructing the ribs so as to permit water to run beneath them, and in placing valleytiles beneath the covering-plates to receive the water that runs under the ribs of the plates.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a plan of a covering-plate. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the same. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is an under side view of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a vertical section of a valley covered according to this invention. Fig. 6 is a plan of a portion of a Fig. 7 is a View similar to Fig. 5, showing a modification of the invention. Fig. 8 shows a section of a tile employed for the modified form of covering. Fig. 9 is an elevation of Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a part of one-half of the valley portion of a roof illustrating the application of tiles as shown in Figs. 8 and 9.
The covering consists of a plate is, having 5 two longitudinal ribs or fillets a, as shown in Figs. 1 to 4. For the purpose of supporting such covering-plates the valley is divided into two parts by means of a vertical partition d, i
through the gaps formed between the ribs of the tile 70 and the concave portion f of the roofing-tiles g, as shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings, and so reach the covered valley. By this construction, owing to the central partition of the valley, water is prevented from flowing down one side of the roof and overflowing the opposite side of the valley. In
the event of snowfall there is always a free channel below the covering-plate for carrying I ofl the water.
The improved method of covering valleys may be employed even with the steepest roofs and with any form of tile. By means of this covering the two opposite sides of the roof are, as it were, connected so as to present a continuous surface.
Figs. 7 to 10 illustrate a method of covering the valley without the aid of metal gutters in the latter. The two channels on either side of the partition d are laid with valley-tiles z. The flat member a of each tile lies below the bottom roofing-tile, while the rounded part 6 abuts against the partition d, Fig. 7. The valleytiles making up a row, lie one lapping over the other, so that a continuous water-channel is formed, as Fig. 10 shows.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is.
1. A tile adapted to cover the valley portion ofaroof, comprising a plate having a concave central portion, and longitudinal side ribs formed on its under face parallel to the concave portion, substantially'as described.
2. A tile adapted to cover the valley portion of a roof, comprising a plate is, having a concave central portion and convex portions on each side of the concave, and longitudinal side ribs a on its under face parallel to the concave and convex portions, substantially as described.
3. A tile adapted to cover the valley portion of a roof,comprising a plate It", having a central concave portion longitudinally of the plate and parallel convex portions on both sides of the concave portion, and longitudinal ribs a having recesses Z) formed therein on the under face of the plate, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
4:. In combination with two sides of a roof forming ayalley at their meeting edges, and roofing-tiles on the two sides provided with concave portions; a covering-tile adapted to span the valley and permit water from the roofing-tiles to flow under it, substantially as described.
5. In combination with two sides of a roof forming a valley at their meeting edges, and a bottom row of tiles on each side of the valley; a covering adapted to span said valley and rest on the bottom rows of tiles, and valley-tiles adapted to form two channels beneath the covering-tile, for the purpose specified.
6. In combination with two sides of a roof forming a valley at their meeting edges and a bottom row of tiles on each side of the valley;
and a partition centrally mounted in said val-- ley dividing the same longitudinally into two parts; a valley-tile mounted on each side of the partition and having a rounded end portion abutting against said partition and a flat portion supporting the tiles of the bottom row, a covering-tile having a concave portion resting on the partition, and longitudinally-arranged recessed ribs formed on the under face of said covering-tile adapted to rest on the bottom rows of tiles, substantially as described.
In testimony thatI claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILHELM LUDOWIOI.
