W. L. SHIRLEY SHINGLE SPACER FOR ROOFS Filed June lO. 1927 INVENTOR. .5. 57: 7pm
BY m.@awma/w A TTORNEY g ,1 AL LI semis O SHINGLE srAoER Fort Roor's] Appli'eation filed June 10,
My invention relates tojafspacing device for shingles for roofsand'thelike,-andthe objects of my invention are: first, toprov'ide a device of this class for spacing the shingles -.on'va roof or the like; second, to "provide a device of this class for. supporting the shin gles in elevated position; third, to providea' device of this class which provides water proofing between and under the edges of the shingles; fourth, 'to provide a devlce of this class which reduces the quantity of shingles I required for covering. and waterproofing a j I roof; fifth, to provide a device of this class for protecting the edges of the shingles;
sixth, to provide a device'of this. class which supports the shingles laterally andlongitudi I nally ;.and seventh, .to'provide a device of this class which is very simple andeconomical of construction, ea'sy to' apply, "and whichi'will not readily deteriorate or get, outfofrder'." 'VVith these and other objects n. lviewfas' will "appear hereinafter,my invention con sists of certam novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions,'aswill-be hereinafter -de'scrib'ed in.
sectional view of-the, shingle spacer; Fig. 2
is a top or plan view of a fragmentary portion of a roof, showing someof the-parts and porc tions broken away to facilitate the illustra-i 'tion; Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional vlew through 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 1s afragmentary top View of one end of the shingle spacer, particularly the normal upper end; Fig. 5- is an edge view of the same before the end portion is bentup; and Fig. 6 is a'similar view with said end portion bent up. Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts and portions throughout the several views ofthe drawings. Q
The shingle spacer consists of a middle portion 1, ridge members 2, corrugated side portions 3, and an end member 4; The shinglespacer is preferablv made'of one pieceof sheet metal, preferably a non-corrosive, non- I rusting metal such as copper or the like. It is preferably made approximately the length of the shingles with whichit is to be used and is formed into a middle channel portion 1 formed between the ridge membersr2, which 1927; Serial no. iev-e ea i are in spaced relation to each other, forming a middle channel member. Then the outer sides are longitudinally corrugated, as shown by- Fig. 3. Theridge portions 2 are of the proper height .80 that they ex-tend above the upper surface of the corrugated portion 3 approximately the thickness of the shingles S. The middle portion 1 is extended-so that the extended portion isIapproXimatelv the height of the ridgeportion 2, and'this portion 4: is bent up, asshown best in Fig. 6 of the drawings, andserves "toiprevent the wind from blowing the water up through. the channel between the ridges 2' and the middle portion 1, and" is positioned at-the normally upper, L
end'cf'the shingle spacer;
"The. shingle spacer- 1's; used followsjz' f'oundationby nailing at the point 5, shown,
-' best in1'Figfi2 ofthedrawings, the portion .4
being bent upwardly,"-closing' the channel portionbetween the ridges 2; Then another A shingle spacer isfsecured to the roof" spacer is positioned parallel therewith, spaced I so that the ridges 2 between the two inem bers' are the S, so" that the edges 'ofthe shingles rest against the-Sides of] the ridges'2, thus proare of approximately the same'heightvas the shingle, the side margins of the shingle restmg upon the corrugated side portion 3 of the shingle spacer, as shown best in Fig. 3 of E i e the drawings, it being noted that the portions 3 are corrugated so that any water which proper width to'receive a shingle;
rviding means for protecting theedges of the shingles,-it being noted that theseridges 2 would'lcak in between the ridge 2 and the i edge of the shingle would pass downwardly along thecorrugated portions of the side por-, y
tions also support the shingles slightly spaced vfromthe roof foundation, providing for ventilation and the like, and still providing substantial weatherproofing for the roof.
It will benoted that the shingles are'supported; on the spacers by means of the same nail or the support, as shown by thenumeral 5 in 20f the drawings, thus supporting the shingles and spacers bythe sainemeans.
The next layer of shingles and spacers is lapped slightly over the upper ends of the shingles and spacers on "the first row, and so on, andare positioned in staggered rela tion to each other, as shown best in Fig. 2 of the drawings.
Though Iha-ve shown and described a particular construction, combination and arrangementof parts and portions, I do not wish to bel imited to this'particular con-.
struction, combination and arrangement, but desire to include in the scope of my'invention, the construction, combination and an rangement substantially as set forth in the appended claims.
Having-thus described my invention, what I claimas new and desire to secure by Lett ers Patent is:
1. In a shingle spacer, a sheet metalmeniher provided with a pair of, spaced longitud-inal ridges forming a channel therebetween, and laterally extending side portions for the side margins of shingles to rest upon. 7 l
2. In a shingle spacer, a sheet metal member provided with a pair ofspaced longi tudinal ridges forming a channel therebetween, and laterally extendingside portions for the side margins of shingles to rest upon, the outer sides of said ridges adapted for the edges of the shinglesto rest against.
3. .Ina shingle spacer, a sheet metal memher provided with a pair of spaced longitndi nal ridges form ng a channel therebetween,
and laterally extending portions provided with longitudinal: corrugations therein for supporting the side margins oi ad acent.
shingles in raised position.
4. In a shingle'space'r, a sheet metal memher provided; witlna pair of spaced long-i tudinal ridges forming a channel therebetween, laterally extending: portions provided with longitudinal corrugations therein for supportmg the, side margins of ad acent sh1ngles" III IHISGd posltion, and an end portion on one end ofsaid shingle spacer adaptshingles rest,the edges thereof resting against the outer s1d'es of sa d ridges.
6. In a shingle spacer, alsheet metal mem,- her approximately the length of the shingles with which it is to housed and provided with a pair of spaced longitudinal ridges at its middle portion forming a channel therebetween andw th laterally extending side port1ons upon which the side marg ns oithe shingles rest and forming stops for the said edges of said shingles, and an extended end portion on'one end thereof adapted to be turned upwardly at a right angle to the main portion of said spacer. V
7, Inashingle spacer,.a sheet netal member provided with a pair of spaced longitudinalrid-ges at its middle portion and with corrugated, laterally extended, side portionsand shingles, the side margins of.
which rest upon said corrugated side port1ons and are secured wlth sald spacer to the 7 root foundation, the edges of said shingles-resting against the sides of said ridges. V r V p In testimony whereof,I haye hereunto set my hand at San Diego,Ca1ifornia,this 31st day of May, 1927.
