UNITED STATESL PATENT OFFICE WEATHER COVEBING George B. Johnston, Glendale, Ohio, assigner toy The Philip Carey Manufacturing Company, a corporation of Ohio Application December 21, 1936, Serial No. 118,856
2 Claims. (Cl. 108-8) This invention relates to weather covering preferably between two and three feet in length strips which are adapted to be laid in courses to and between eight and fifteen inches in width. cover the roof or sides of building structures, and The strip is made from a composition such as particularly pertains to rigid Weather covering cement-asbestos composition which is either 5 material composed of compositions molded in poured into a mold provided with a platen to give 5 shape, such as cement-asbestos material and the the proper design or built up on a cumulator roll like.

In addition to the decorative features of `numeral I designates a weather covering strip the transverse ridges and channels, they breal;v of indefinite length and Widthf Ordinarily it is up the surface of the strip and conceal any lime u t deposits that may accumulate upon and discolor the surface of the shingle resulting from emorescence. Moreover, the lime deposits tend to accumulate in the channels inasmuch as they present the greatest-surface area exposed, and drainage water concentrated in these channels is then directed against said deposits, causing them to be washed away.
Furthermore, the exposed weather surface is irregularly broken up into irregular heights and depths, thereby creating shadows of different intensity. These are arranged in bands which simulate individual elements, and the adjacent bands may be further set on from each other by having contrasting colors applied thereto. That is, one band will be in one color and another band will be of a different color. The end bands are preferably provided with substantially wide or coarse graining ridges so that in cutting or trimming the ends, a smoother trim may be obl tained. If the graining were iine on the end bands at the edges the blade in passing through would travel through a ridge or ridges and divide same into portions at these points so that the edge would be rough and irregular. This results from the cutting being parallel or substantially parallel to the ridges. This does not happen where the cutting is transverse to the ridges, as on the vlongitudinal edges.
While I have shown one specinc embodiment illustrating my invention and described same in detail, it will be understood that there may be various changes without departing from the spirit thereof.
, I claim:
1. A weather covering strip comprising an elongated body having substantially wide transverse portions provided on the weather exposed surface of the strip with contrasting decorative bands formed by narrowly spaced transverse ridges and depressions which are relatively wide and narrow disposed to simulate individual bands, the end bands having marginal ridges which are suiilciently wider than the non-marginal ridges so as not to collapse when the ends are trimmed.
2. A weather covering strip comprising an elongated body having transverse decorative portions provided on the weather exposed surface of the strip composed of irregular closely spaced relatively wide and narrow ridges and depressions of varying widths disposed transversely to the strip, the relatively wide ridges being provided along the ends of the strips and the relatively narrow ones being between the ends of the strip.
GEORGE B. JOHNSTON.
