ROOF-EDGING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 26. 15219. Serial No. 285,347.
its object being to provide a roof edging' which may be secured Vin place without the use of nails whereby the edging may become suitable for use in connection with roofs embodying in their construction concrete or gypsum slabs into which, as is well known, it is difficult and ofttimes impractical to drive nails and effect a secure and lasting connection.4
The said invention consists of means hereinafter fully described and particularly set forth in the claims.
The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail certain means embodying my invention, the disclosed means, however, constituting but one of the various forms in which the principle of my invention may be applied.
In .said annexed drawings:
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a length of edging embodying my invention, such length being shown with its middle portion broken out and shown in a'position in which the outer faces are in view. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of such length-of edging and in a position in which the inner faces are in view.
Fig. 3 represents an enlarged cross-section of such edging.
Fig. 4 representsan enlargedplan view of the end portions of two edging lengths joined together.'
Fig. 5 represents a side elevation of the end portions of suchtwo lengths when so joined.
Fig. 6 represents a section taken upon the plane indicated by a line VI-VI in Fig. 5. v Fi plan indicated by line VII--VII in Fig. and showing the lower or upright leg foreshortened by breaking away.

. portions thereof.
T represents a section taken upon the Fig. 9 represents a vertical section. of the eave portion of a'roof showing my improved edging applied thereto and modified so as to combine with it a gutter. Y
Patented J an. 13, 1920.
Fig. 10 represents a'perspective view of a l portion of a roof illustrating the method of building up a roofing in which' my improved edging is employed upon the side and eave The illustrated tion comprises a strip l of sheet metal preferably ofgalvanized iron bent to form an upright leg 2 and a horizontal leg l3 substantially at right angles with said leg l2.
Adjacent to the junction of the two legs the metal is bent or folded so as to form an upright flange 4 which constitutes a gravel stop. The lower end of the leg 2 is bent inwardly as shown, so as to catch the lower edge of the roof slab against the outer surface of which it lies, as will be hereinafter de scribed.
As thus far described, the structure is old and well known and has been used for a roof edging for the sides or eaves of roofs and secured in place by means of nails which were driven through the-leg 3 and intoA the boards forming the body or deck of the roof.
In order to eliminate the necessity ofcurely fasten the fold of the fabric within such fold of the stop. The lower -end of the leg 1 is turned as at 7, Fig. 1, and beaded upon the lower edge portion -of the fabric 5, as shown in Figs. 1 and 8, thus holding Athe lower end of such fabric securely in" place.
That part of the fabric which is secured to the under or inner face of the leg 3, extends some distance beyond the outer end of the latter. as shown-in Fig. 1.
In constructing a roof employing my improvededging, I first lay upon the cement blocks or deck and secure thereto by means .of pitch or asphalt, strips of what is known embodiment of my inven-v '95 compressed or contracted sufficiently to seas readyy roofing or roofing felt 9. Thisy of lengths of edging'are then laid alon the A edge portions of the roof, as shown in ig. 10, and the end portions of adjacent lengths are caused to telescope within each other, as shown in Figs. 4, 5 andl. In order to permit these end portions to readily telescope, I prefer to cut out a portion 10 of the fabric 5 at both ends of each length, as
\ in addition tO securing the edging in place shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 and as shown in full lines in Fig. 2. This cutting away of the fabric will, as will be readily understood, permit the end of one length to `be readily inserted in the end of the other length, the end of the fold of the gravel stop on one of the lengths being used to receive the end ofthe fold of the gravel stop of the other length. The joints made by these telescoped portions are waterproofed with a suitable material such as pitch, as-
I 5, as shown in igs. 8, 9 and 10. i The legs 2 phalt or gum. Those deck surfaces of the edge portions of the roof against which the legs 3 of the edging lie' are, however, firstv provided or coated with pitch or asphalt 11,
so as to cause the upper legedging to adhere thereto. Additional strips l2 of roofing fabric are then laid upon the roofing felt 9, secured thereto by means of pitch Or asphalt 13, and extend over the upper surface ofthe edging includin the extension of the fabric are held in position by the lower turned-in break 14. v
It will therefore be seen that the extensions of the fabric 5 present a considerable surface and arev securely united with the 11pper or wearing-surface fabric 12 by means of the cement 13, as well as being united b means of the pitch or asphalt 11 to the roo ing felt 9 on the deck of' the roof. The edging is thereforewoven between the plies of roofing material and the union so secured is amply suicient to hold the edging in place Vwithout the use of any other fastening device. The metal portion of the edging is held in place by the fabric 12 through pitch or asphalt 13 and by the fabric 5 which is securely attached thereto not only by means of the pitch or asphalt 6, but as a result off 'its posltive connection in the gravel stop.
` legs without the use of nails, the inner surface of this edging is thoroughly protected against the action of the elements and is hence rust-proof.
What I claim is:
1. A roof-edging comprising the combination with a body portion of metal having two angularly related legs and bent to form a gravel-stop adjacent to the junction of such legs; of a strip of fabric covering the inner faces Ofvsaid legs .and extending between the fold of such gravel-stop.
2; A roof-edging comprising the combination with a body portion of sheet metal having two angularly related legs and bent to form a gravel stop adjacent to the junctionof such legs; of a strip of fabric covering the inner faces of said legs, and extending into and xedly secured in the fold of such gravel stop.
3. A roof-edging comprising the combination with a body portion of sheet metal havv ing `two angularly related legs and bent to form\,\a gravel stop adjacent to the junction of such=legs; of a strip of fabric covering and cemented lto the inner surface of the edging, extending into and lixedly secured by the fold of such gravel stop, and extending beyond the end of the .upper'leg 4. A roof edging comprising the combination with a body portion of metal having two angularly related legs; of a strip of fabric cemented to the inner faces of said and extending beyond the end of one of the latter; said fabric forming the inner contacting face of the edging.
Signed by me this 19th day of March,
JOSEPH o. NORTON.
