CHARLES R. EVERSON, OF MAGEDON, NEW YORK.
EAVES-TRQUGH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,881, dated December 12, 1882.
Application filed June 2, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, UHARLEs R. EVERSON, of Macedon,,Wayne county, New York, have invented certain Improvements in Eaves- Troughs, of which the following is a specification.
My invention is an eaves-trough constructed, as fully described hereinafter, to'make a neat and attractive finish at the edge of theroof, prevent the rotting of said edge, and reduce the number of shingles required, as well as furnish an effective conduit for the water.
In the drawings,-Figure 1 represents in section part of a-shingle-covered roof with my improved trough. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional perspective view of the trough, and Fig. 3 shows the same as adapted to a metal-cow ered roof.
The trough consists of two strips of metal, one of which, A, is bent to an L shape, with the upper edge of the vertical portion of flange e bent over to form an outside bead, a, the other, B, being also bent to an L shape, but with a flange or head, I), at the edge of the horizontal portion. As thus constructed, the
strip B is applied to the roof-board (J, with its head b against the edge thereof, and is secured by nailing through inside tongues or otherwise, and the strip A is applied, with its flange 0 against the vertical flange e of the strip B, the latter fitting in beneath the rib a, as shown. Nails are then driven through the horizontal part of the strip A, near the upper edge, and the shingles are applied as usual. By this means an efi'ective water-conduit is secured,
the contiguous vertical flanges e e,-clainped by the bead a, strengthening each other, and
with the horizontal portion of the strip Aconstituting a gutter, which maybe properly inelined by bending up the vertical flanges at 40 a slight angle to'the bodies of the plates. As the horizontal portions of the plate cover not only the gutter portion, but also the roofing board beyond the gutter, the access of water to the edge portion of the board is prevented 5 Without extending the shingles to the extreme edge,as usual. Several courses of shingles are thus saved, while a heater edgefinish is also secured. The rotting of the edge, resulting from the settling of water at the edge portion of the roof, is also prevented.
When the roof is metal-covered the strip or portion A may form part of the sheathing, a shown in- Fig. 3.
I claim- A roof-trough consisting of two strips of metal, A B, each bent to an L shapeand beaded, both secured with their horizontal portions upon the roof-boards, with the vertical flange of-one fitting beneath the bead of the other, and the bead of the former turned downward to lie opposite the edge of the roof-board, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two sub-
