A'PPLIOATIDI TILED MAY L 1905.
W mw x nos clip, as Q, is employed as the retaining means for the root plates the closures may he used in the same manner, but their independent endwise movement is not guarded against. I
In some instances it is desirable to form the metallic covering with plates that extend uninterruptedly over the ridge instead of from the ridge to the eaves, as indicated in the drawings from Figs. 1 to '7 inclusive. I have shown what I term a continuous plate construction in Fig. 8, each plate in this instance extending from cave to cave, the joints formed between the side flanges being broken at the'ridge, as indicated. Where the continuous type of covering is used, caps such as shown in Fig. 9 may be employed to cover the breaks along the ridge or peak, these caps being precisely the same as shown and described in Fig. 7, with the exception that the only channels formed in the plate proper of the cap are those for covering the joints along the sides of the sheets.
What I claim is 1. In a car roof, the combination with a roof sheathing ot' a plurality of root plates thereon having flexible sections at their lower edges connected to the car, and yielding closures covering the joints between the flexible sections.
2. In a car roof, the coinhinatloii with a root sheathing, of a plurality of metallic roof plates thereon having liook shaped extensions at their lower edges beyond the sheathin;: rlosnres covering the joints between lhe extensions and retaining clips on the car engaging lhe pinto lionlis and locking the closures against einiwise morenu-nlv ii. in a cor roofv the combination with lhe root sin-nihing. ol' metallic plates thereon having depending extensions down upon the inner roof, such holding-noun means also permitting such longitudinal movement,
J. The combination with a car and its root, oi an out side metal rod! thereon, liexihle joints connecting the sheets, permitting relative movement of the sheets ionei tudinaily of the roof, downturned hooks on the ear and :l hook-shaped eave portion on the sheets, said hooks on the side of the ear siidabiy engaging such hook portion of the sheet to hold the sheets upon the inner roof, but to permit longitudinal movement thereof.
(3. in a car roof, the combination with the sheathing, oi root plates thereon extending from the caves to the ridge and holding down menus for the plates at the caves and at the ridge, said holding down means permiitin movement of said plates longitudinally of the car.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
