Original No. 1,598,551, dated Julyl 20, 1926, Serial No. 52,549, tiled August 26, 1925.
reissue led October 27,
This invention relates generally' to shinlrles used for rooting purposes, 'the invention having inore particular reference to a novel type of rooting shingles. The invention has a for an object the provision of an. improved rooting shingle of metal, coinposition, or the like; which may be easily and readily attached to the roof, and which will act more efficiently in preventing leaks. A further H object is to provide a shingle construction embodying a clip of novel design and application, which will inorc etifectirely hold the butt of the shingle stili' and straight`I will prevent said butt from being lifted by wind 15 or warping, and nniy be attached to the shingle and will hold the butt to the roof without the use of nails or other separate fastening means piercing the shingle thercbeneath.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
Figure 1 of the drawing is a fragmentary plan View of a roof structure constructed in accord ance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional View taken on the line 2 2 of Figure 1.
Figure B'is a fragmentary sectional view, taken on the line` 3 3 of Figure l.
Figure 4 is a view of the back or rear of a shingle showing the clip attached thereto.
Figure 5 is a front view of the clip, showing a portion of the shingle in dotted lines; and
Figure 6 is a section taken on the linevv 6 6 of Figure 5 on a larger scale.
The shingles l0 are preferably square and in forming the roof structure are preferably laid with their diagonals horizontal, so that a corner of the shingle isupperniost and the two exposed edges converge downwardly. The lowerinost corner 11 is turned back or folded beneath the body portion so as to 'presenta butt of double thickness. v
Secured to the turned back or folded corner of the said shingle 10, is a clip 12 preferably of metal, and secured to the shingle in any desired manner, but preferably y tongues 13 struck from the clip and caused to pierce the shingle. These may pass 1926. Serial N0. 144,636.
through conveniently located holes or slots in the front portion of the clip 12, the said tongues 13 being then forced downward against the said clip.
The clip is bent lengthwise so as to coli'ipletely receive and engage with the opposite side of the turned back or :folded edge of the shingle. The front or to portion` of the clip is o'fa lengt-h substantiallyr equal to the lengt-h of the told of the shingle and may be cut at an angle 14 to coincide With the downwardly converging edge of the shingle to which said clip is attached. The rear porn tion of the clip is of greatenlength so that its end portions extend beyond the side edges of the shingle. The end of said back portion of the clip inaylbe cut at right angles to the line of said bend, as designated by 15 in the accompanying drawing.
Referring iii particular to Figure 4 of the accompanying drawing, the dottedlines 17 denote suitable markings to designate the relative positions ofthe adjacent shingles when the said shingles 10 are placed in position on the roof. f AReferring in particular to Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing it will be .understoodthat the said shingles are placed on the roof so as to overlap one another as shown by the dotted lines 16, and further that the hereinbefore described clip will serve to hold the shingles, adjacent to which the said clip is attached, in place, as shown in Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing.
The ends of the back portion of the clip extend beneath adjacent shingles so as to hold the butt down without the aid of nails. Furthermore, it holds the butt-'sd and rigid by reason of the double thickness of metal and it protects the edge of the shingle by reason of the fact that it is on the outside of the fold.
WVhiIe I have above described the preferred forin,"constiiictio1i, and arrangement of the several elements employed. it will be understood that the device is, nevertheless, susceptible ot' considerable modification there in` and I therefore reserve the privilege of re.-:orting` to all such changes as may be fairly embodied within the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protectv by Let- Application for les ters Patent of the United States is as Vfollows:-
1. A shingle having its lowerinost corner turned back, and a clip having a baci; pol'- tion and a front portion completely e'ncasing the edge of the said turned back corner, said front ortion being eut at an angle to coincide wlth the edges ot' the shingle, said baek ortion being of greater length than the width of the shingle at vthe said turned baci; corner, and projecting from both sides of saidshingleyandsaid back portion having struck out tongues. engageable in apertures of said frontsportion.
2. A shingle having its lowerniost corner turned back, a clip having a backportion .and a front portion completely` encasing the edge of the said turned back corner, said front portion being cut at an angle to eoincide with the edges ot' the shingle. said back portion being of greater length than the width of the shingle at the said corner, and projecting troni both sides ot'r said shingle, and said back portion having struck out tongues engageable in apertures of said front portion, and ot sntlicient length to be forced downward againsty the said clip.
3. In a shing e of the class described... a clip havinfr a back portion and a front portion comp etely eneasing the edge of the turned back eorner, said front portion being cut at an angle to coincide with the edges et the shingle, said back portion projecting from both sidesof said shingle, being of greater length than lthe width ot' the shingle v at the encased edge of the turned back corfront portion,
i ing a baek portionvand u front portion, said y ner, and said back portion having struck ont tongues engageable in apertures of said said tongues being of sufficient len h to be forced 'sai clip.
' 4. A shingle having downwardly eonverg ing side edges and the lowermost corner turned back, in combination with a sheet metal 'clip folded-along its length to enease the folded edge of the shingle, and presentturned back` downward against the front portion being of a length substantiall'j1 lower edge and downwardly convergingside edges lcach disposed at substantially 45 degrees to said lower edge, and a sheet metal cli-p bent along its length to encasc said lower edge and to forni trent and baclriportions, said iront portion being of a length substatitialljY equal to the length ot' said lowenedge and said back portion being ot' greater length than said lower edge and projecting beyond said side edges whereby; the j irojecting por tions may be disposed beneath the edges ot' contiguous shingles to prevent' litting of said lower edge.
` 6. A shingle having a butt presenting a lower edge and downwardly converging side -edges, and a sheet metal clip bent along its length and secured to said lnitt along said lower edge to enease said edge with front and back portions, said back portion being of greater length than said lower edge and projecting beyond said side edgesI whereby said lower edge is protected and stiit'ened and the butt is held down by the engagement. of the projecting ends ofA the clip beneath the edge of contiguous shingles and said clip having parts projeeting into said shingle tov prevent separation of the shingle and elip.
7. A shingle having a batt presei'xting a lower edge and downwardl)Iv projecting side edges, and a sheet metal strip bent along its length to substantially'U-forin to provide front and back portions disposed npon opposite sides of said lower edge, .said h aek portion projecting beyond said side edges and one of said portionsI having toiignes:I jnojei-ting therefrom into the shingle to retain 'theA strip in position.
