. This invention relates to a shingle strip and method ofV cutting the same *from a strip of roofing material. It is especially applicable in a shingle strip oi the character made up of a iibrous base that is saturated with Waterproofing material and covered with a coating .of plastic Waterproofing material., such as pitch, or asphalt, and having applied thereto a 4layer of Wear-resisting iinaterial, such as crushed slate, stone, etc.

By this invention the shingle strips can he out from a Wide sheet of roong material of the character indicated Without 'Waste of material,and the strips can he so applied to a roof as to cover the same adequately with a saving of material, and at the saine time provide against leakage. The exposed edges of f the strips, when laid 'on a root', can be so vfashioned that they will simulate the appearance of individual shingles slightly spaced apart. Thisl effect can be;f reduced in a variety of ways as indicated slow, thereby presenting a pleasing effect and avoiding Vthe monotony and cheap-appearance of many of the roofing strips of this art.

The invention will he understoodvfrom the I description in connection with the drawings,

in Which-r* Fig. lis a' plan vievv of a sheet of roofing material indicating how the individual strips are cut therefrom.

Fig. 2 .is a similar view showing slight modifications of the shapes ofthe strips.

Fig.V Sis a plan view indicating two horizontal courses as' laid upon'a roof.

'Fig'. fl; is :5L-modification showing different Ways of cutting'the shingle strips from asheet of maling-material, and at the same time pro- 'du'cing individual shingles.

A-In'the drawings reference characters l and '1' indicate 'a series of slits or lines parallel with the edges ofa roong strip, the lin/es l and l lying near the middle of the sheet and SHINGLE STRIP.

Application for serial No. esame.,

to the middle points ot the lines l', thus dei tining the lengths of the shingle strips.

The sheet shown in Fig. 2 is cut in a similar' Way except that the lines 2 corresponding to the lines 2 oi Fig. 1 are sloping or are curved as shown at 2". It Will thus beseen that in each case shingle strips are produced having the end portions thereof Wider than the centrai portions, and the sum of the lengths of *the extensions -at the ends are substantially equal to the length oi the narrower central portions. Also a shingle strip is produced having narrow elongated rectangular spaced. tabs along one edge oppositelyl disposed With respect to the shingle-like extensions on the other edge of the shinglestrip, the sum'of the spaced tabs. This may be done in a variety of Ways, as for example, a series of slots may be cut along the edge of the sheet of roong material as indicated att in Fig. l; or a.

number of black lines may be produced along the edge, as indicated at 6 in Figi, by pressingva hot implement of the properwidth and thereby causing the black Waterproofing material to strike through and be visible; or the edges may loe provided with a series of V-shaped slots l. as indicated at the lower left lhand end of Fig. 2; or the edgesmay be provided with a series-of V-shaped slots tere llength .upon the mineral covered surfacing, I

minating in a straight slot, as indicated at 8' or a ll-shaped slot may be used, as indicated at 9, having av strip 10 of contrasting material applied at the end of the YV-shaped slot; or'the V-shaped slots may ,terminate inv a short area ll of different colored granular material gor the V-shaped slots may have at the ends thereof the black Waterproofing niaterial brought to the surface. as indicated at f l2 in a manner similar to that alreadyI de' scribed in connection with the markings 6 of Fig. 1; or a combination oi two or more ol these and other schemes for improving the appearance of .theexposed edges of the strips .may he used.

ln the inodication shown in Fig. 4i strips 14 and l5, similar in shape to those already cleseriheil, muy be out out as indicated, und :it the smile time single shingles 1"? with slightly pointed encls 18 or single shingles 19 with square corners inny be out out, :l'roin the iniclille portion of the sheet. It will loe olirious that the single shingles may be out out as shown ut. 192 leaving single shingles :20 :is inclieuteil. :induit the. suine time, the edges oi the shingle strips um)- be provided with linlis in n suitable manner.

lt will usually desirable to llave the slots or nini-kings7 which separato the talos lion'i each other. of :i length eorrosponilinsbr to the :nnountof expzsuro olI the strip when laid on :i root, so that the lower edge of me next upper Course of strips will liofuljucent to the upper nuls of the slots or markings, as indicated in Fig. The joints 2l and 2l formell at the iuljuffent. enfls of strips in horizontal rows should be broken, and this result can be :ieeon'i'plishefl :is indicated in Fig. 3. while et` the seine time the 'Wide ends oilx the strips avoid the danger that Water Will Creep or be blown upward under one strip and. over the upper edge of the unilerlyirols-rip even when the horizontal rows are laid with s. greater exposure to the Weather than is the ease with ordinary shingles. Either the shingle strips with the rectangular este sions at the enrls or .the ones with the be led extensions, shown in Fig. 9., may be usecl on the roof, or a mixture of 'the may lie used. lnsteecl of leaving e. sheet of rooting material Wide enough to form two series ot strips, as indicated in Figs. i and 2, the sheet may be .made Wide enough to form' four se ries of strips 'for example.

It will lie'cleer Jfrom the disclosure that allonges and niodilieations may be ronde sind dilerent features may be 'variously oomliinefl Without departing troni the spirit or scope oil;

the invention. For example, one of the esc-g tensions st'tlie ends ot the stripsmoy merle somewhat longer 'than the other in a.

direction' arzillel to the @flee ot the stri i that is to be enposefl, tlius :riskingF it possible :tor the joint 2l, Fig. 3, to loe placed 'farther to the lett, so that. the joint 2l emilie spaced s grenier distance from the ioint 2l snol still be over the central portion of the longer eX tension that lies unflei'nestli. This will re sull'y in decreasing the Junger Aof leakage oli thel rootl at tllo joints. An illustration ot this feature is shown :it the lower left lmncl end of Fig. 4 Where the extension 22 :it one enel ol the strip 1F is Longer than. the extension 23 :it the other end. This shingle l5 is also shown with the tell spaced between the V-s1ieperl slots along the other edge of the strip 15.
