UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE I ALBERT C. FISCHER, OF CHIOAGO, ILLINOIS, ABSIGNOR TO THE PHILIP CAREY IANU- FAC'IUBIN'G COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF OHIO aoorme amateur .Origlnal application filed September 17, 19 21, Serial No. 501,443. Divided and this application filed August 88, 1929. Serial No. 388,455.
The present invention relates to roofing elements which are adapted to be applied to a building structure for the purpose of providing an improved weather-proofing covering and particularly pertains to roofing strips or slabs composed of individual shingles attached obliquely in overlapping stepped relation. The strips or slabs so constructed are adapted to be laid diagonally in the successive courses on a roof or wall structure.
This case is a division of application Serial No. 501,443 filed Se t. 17, 1921 and issued September 24, 1929 as atent No. 1,729,212. Heretofore roofing s rips or slabs have been serrated at intervals on one edge to provide a series of exposed tabs for simulating individual shingles when the strip or slabs are laid horizontally in overlapping courses. The tab ends are free and have a go tendency to curl the same as individual shingles, inasmuch as there is no means for fastening them. 6
In the present invention, the strip or slab is built up and reenforced by a series of individual shingles overlapped in stepped relation. The tab ends are contoured in any desired configuration forsefiecting a. design when the strips or slabs are laid in successivecourses on a roof structure with the tabs exposed. And with the'individual'shingles arranged diagonally in a strip, a simulation of individual shingles can be obtained, and the exposed tabs prevented from curling.
For a better understanding of the invention, reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, in which,
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a roofing strip embodying the present invention;
' Fig. l is a section of roofing covering composed of roofing strips such as shown in Figs. 3, 5, 7 and 9 are plan views .of modified forms of roofing strlps; and v, Figs. 4, 6 and 8 are sections of roofing covering composed of roofing stri s such as shown in respective Figs. 3,5 an 7.
' Referring now to these drawings, the novel and improved roofin product is shown in one form in Fig. 1 w erein an oblique strip or slab 2 is composed of a series of rectangular individual shingle elements 3 laid in. overlapping and stepped relation'at. The Y ledges'5 of the shingles comprise part of the ex osed tabs, the other part of the tabs overlying the adjacent shingles. By this construction, only one corner of each tab is free, while the other corner. is secured, thereby re-. ducing to a minimum any tendency for it to curl or lift to permit access of water.
In Fig. 3, the tab portions 6 of the shingle elements are cut at the corners 7 to provide a semi-hexagonal design. The tabs of overlapping strips co-operate to efiect a hexagg nal designed roofing covering as shown in In Fig. 5 the shingle elements are squared on one end 8 and pointed at the other end 9. whereby when assembled in overlapping stepped relation to form a strip, one side is serrated and the other side is straight and unbroken. On the stepped side the tabs have one free corner as previously described, whereas the tabs. on the straight and ,unbroken side have no free ends.
Fig. 7 is substantially the same as Fig. 1 7;, except that the strip is made up, .and laid with similarly formed strips for efiecting a T-design as shown in Fig. 8.
In Fig. 9 the strip shows another form in which the individual shingles may be cut to give a different design to the serrated edges of the strip.
While I have shown certain s ific embodiments for carrying my invention into effect, it is apparent that various other designs may be produced without departing from the spirit 0 the invention. I y
" I claim:
shingles arranged in overlapping ofiset relation to provide a series of projecting tabs on one edge of the body, the tab ends being at least partially secured to prevent curling.
4. A roofing strip comprising an elongated body including in its structure individual shingles of uniform design arranged in over lapping ofi'set relation to provide a series of pro ecting tabs on one edge of the body.
5. Aroofing strip comprising an elongated body including in its structure individual shingles of uniform designarranged in overlapping offset relation to provide a series of ta 5 on the weather exposed edge.
6. A roofing covering composed of diagonally laid strips in successive courses, each of said strips comprising an elongated body including in its structure individual shingles arranged in overlapping ofiset relation to provide a series of projecting tabs on one edge of the body.
7. A roofing covering composed of diagonally laid strips in successive courses, each of said strips comprising an elongated body including in its structure individual shingles arranged in overlapping ofi'set relation to provide a series of projecting tabs on both edges of the body.
8. A roofing covering composed of diagonally laid strips in successive courses, each of said strips comprising an elongated body including in its structure individual shingles arranged in overlapping ofl'set relation to provide a series of projecting tabs on one edge of the body, the tab ends being at least partially secured to prevent curling.
9. A roofing covering composed of diagonallv laid strips in successive courses, each of said strips comprising an elongated body including in its structure individual shingles of uniform design arranged in overlapping offset relation to provide a series of projecting tabs on one edge of the body.
10. A roofing covering composed of diagonallv laid strips in successive courses, each of said strips comprising an elongated body including in its structure individual shingles of uniform design arranged in overlapping offset relation to provide a series of tabs on the weather exposed edge.
Signed at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, this 24th day of August,
ALBERT C. FISCHER.
