TILE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 479,442, dated July 26, 1892. Application filed November 3, 1891. Serial No. 410,769. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK N. MARVICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Mateo, in the county of Putnam and State of 5 Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tiles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which Io it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates generally to improvements in tiles such as are employed for the ceiling, sides, and roofs of houses, and it is particularly designed for improvements upon the invention for which application for Letters Patent was filed jointly by myself and John Walter June 22,1891, Serial No. 397,083; and it consists in the peculiarities of construction and arrangement or combination of zo parts and features hereinafter fully disclosed in the description, drawings, and claims.

The objects of my invention are, first, to provide improved flanges at the upper ends of tiles, whereby water is prevented from passing into the joints at the sides of said tiles and to the upper edges thereof and which will also permit the lower edges of the next tiles above to hang clear of the upper edges of the next lower tiles; second, to provide portions of the upper surfaces of the tiles with deep grooves leading downwardly from the upper flanges for conveying the water to the outer surfaces thereof; third, to provide the upper flanges of the tiles with upwardly-projecting stops which are arranged opposite the upper ends of said deep grooves for the purpose of preventing water and snow from being blown upwardly; fourth, to provide prtions of the upper surfaces of the tiles with a series or number of grooves whichV lead from the lower flanges and are arranged intermediate of and formed more shallow than the deep grooves, whereby such water as may reach said lower flanges will also be conveyed to the outer or upper surfaces of said tiles; fifth, to provide a portion of the front surface of each tile with a series of ribs which are curved or rounded for about one-half their lengths and iiattened for the remainder thereo of; sixth, to provide the adjacent edges or sides of the tiles with A-shaped or oppositelyinclined recesses for communicating with the joints between said tiles and conveying the water therefrom toward the centers of said tiles, and, seventh, to provide tiles of this character which shall be simple in construction, easily applied and removed, and comparatively cheap in manufacture. These objects are accomplished by the improved construction and arrangement or combination of parts and features illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which the same reference-numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts, and in which- Figure l represents a front view of two building-tiles constructed and arranged in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2, a similar view with the tiles separated at their edges or sides; Fig. 3, a vertical section of one of the tiles, showing particularly the manner of securing the tiles upon the strips or ribs which are fastened to the roof-beams; Fig. 4, a perspective edge 0r side view of the tile having the under-lapped side flange; and Fig. 5, a rear view of the tiles, the edges or sides thereof being separated, as in Fig. 2.

In the drawings, the numerals 1 and 2 indicate, respectively, right and left tiles, which are so secured and relatively arranged as to form break-joints when in operative position, which have their upper surfaces of smooth and finished appearance, and which are especially adapted to be secured to the roofs of buildings without nails or screws. These tiles are provided near their upper ends with the upper and lower flanges 3 and et, the lower fianges 4L being arranged in a higher plane than the upper flanges 3, which are formed with rearwardly-inclined recesses 5, which terminate at the bases of the upwardly-projectin g and transversely-extending shoulders or ledges (5. These recesses and ledges prevent water and snow from passing up and over the upper edges of the tiles, and also permit the lower edges of the tiles next above to lie clear of the next lower tiles; also, along the inner or adjacent ends of these recesses and ledges are formed the angularly-shaped elevations 7, which are inclined or mitered along their proximate edges 8, so as to form a lap-joint. Adjacent to the vertical edges IOO 'described are called lower and upper,

following the line of the roof, while they are described as higher from the base of the standard of the tile.

Along the upper edges of the lower flanges 4 of the tiles are formed the ^shaped deflectors 10, which direct the water flowing from the upper flange 3 down into the deep grooves 11, which gradually lessen in depth down to their lower ends, where they deliver the water upon the upper surface of the tiles. At the upper ends of these grooves are located the upwardly-projecting stops 12, which are formed upon the upper flanges 3 for thepurpose of preventing water and snow from being blown upwardly. Between these deep grooves are formed the shallow grooves 13, which start from lower points than said deep grooves and which also gradually lessen in depth down to their lower ends. Intermediate of these two series of grooves and in the body portions of the tiles are formed the longitudinally extending ribs 14, which are curved at their upper ends and rounded for about one-half of .their lengths and flattened, as at 14, upon their upper surfaces for the remainder thereof. At the lowerends of the shallow grooves 13 the oppositely and downwardly inclined grooves 15 may be employed; also, the oppositely and downwardly inclined grooves 16 are formed in the upper surfaces and near the edges or sides of the tiles for directing or conveying the water which passes upwardly through the joint 17 between said tiles toward the central portions thereof.

Along the edges or sides of the tiles 1 and 2 are formed the overlapping and underlapping flanges 1S and 19, the latter being provided with the inwardly-inclined grooves 2O for conveying the water from the joints 17 down upon the upper ends of the next tiles and into the rearwardlydnclined recesses 5 in the upper flanges 3 thererof. The upper ends of these grooves are curved rearwardly and terminate beneath the inclined or mitered portion 8 of the angularly-shaped elevation 7 at the upper end of the underlapping flange 19. The proximate faces or edges of these inclined or mitered portions of the angularly-shaped elevations form a continuation of the joint 17.

Adjacent to and to the right of the upper ends of the inwardly-inclined grooves 2O is formed the flat shoulder 21, which conforms to the corresponding shoulder 22 on the rear side of the overlapping angnlarly-shaped elevation 7, whereby a firm or steady connection is secured at these points. On the rear surface of the overlapping flange'18 is formed a series of longitudinal grooves 23, which assist the inwardly-inclined grooves 2O on the front or upper surface of the nnderlapping flange 19 in carrying the water downward.

At the upper ends and on the bottom surfaces of the tiles are formed the upwardly and inwardly beveled supports 24, which are adapted to fit over the strips or ribs 24',

which are fastened to the beams or rafters 24 j leaving the upper flanges 3 intact, which I f have increased in thickness to a much greater extent than those in tiles hitherto employed.
