Definitions
- the nature and objects of my invention are so to construct and form the boards for the siding of houses and other buildings that, rst, in putting them together, and nailing them to the frame of the building, the boards shall, for their whole width, lie hat and solid against the posts and studs of the frame instead of touching the frame at their corners only, as is the case of ordinary clapboarding; at the same time they shall preserve outside the appearance and advantage of clapboarding, by the outer lip on the lower edge of each' board overlapping the full thickness of the upper edge of the board immediately below it for shedding ⁇ the water; and, second, by ex-J invention are shown, viz: The boards A and B lie for their whole width snug up against the stud N of the frame, While on the outside, as shown at C, they maintain the appearance and advantage of clapboarding, by the upper board overlapping the lower one for shedding the water, and the lip G being here len gthened for that purpose, the head of the nail F is also covered.
- the upper edge of the board in order that it mayallow the board above tooverlap it by the lip. C, is made thinner than the lower edge.
- the boards are made by splitting a thicker board, by a diagonal cut of the saw, making two featheredged boards of one thicker board, the outside bevel of the board which makes the-thin edge is, by the eut of the saw, made to extend' across the entire widthyot' the board, as from F to D, Fig. 2; but it is not necessary that the bevel should thus extend across .the entire width of the board.
- the drawings exhibit the boards of the or- ⁇ dinary width and thickness, and the several members of the joint of the-proper relative di mensions substalxtially"r-'.llhus the, siding of houses is greatly improxred, partaking of the I lsolidity,y Warmthfandgsecurity of matched yeeilin'g, while at the same time it possesses the advantages of c1apboarding,in more effectually shedding the Water outside, Ofcom- Vfof'icovering', and of great neatness of appearance.
