Shake strip assembly for roofing or siding

Abstract

Abstract LEAKAGE THEREBETWEEN. A PREFERRED MEANS FOR THIS PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE A BLANK SPACE AT EACH END OF THE COURSE OF SHAKES ON EACH STRIP ASSEMBLY, AND TO CLOSE THESE BLANK SPACES BY MEANS OF SHUTTER SHAKE APPLIED AFTER THE SHAKE STRIP ASSEMBLIES HAVE BEEN ATTACHED TO A ROOF OR WALL. A ROOF OR SIDE OF A BUILDING IS COVERED WITH SELF-GAUGING SHAKE STRIP ASSEMBLIES WHICH PROVIDE THEIR OWN SHEATING. EACH SHAKE STRIP ASSEMBLY COMPRISES A BASE STRIP COVERED BY A MEMBRANE WITH A FIRST COURSE OF SAWN SHINGLES SECURED THERETO AND COVERED BY A SECOND, SUPERPOSED COURSE OF SHAKES. THE UPPER ENDS OF THE SHAKES ARE IN DOWNWARD SPACE RELATION FROM THE UPPER EDGE OF THE BASE STRIP, WHILE THEIR LOWER ENDS EXTENDED A SELECTED DISTANCE BELOW THE LOWER EDGE OF THE BASE STRIP. THE UPPER ENDS OF THE SHAKES SERVE AS A GAUGE FOR POSITIONING THE BASE STRIP OF A NEXT HIGHER SHAKE STRIP ASSEMBLY. WHILE NOT ESSENTIAL. A METAL CLIP OR OTHER MEANS MAY BE PROVIDED TO INTERCONNECTED AND SEAL THE ABUTTING ENDS OF SHAKE STRIP ASSEMBLIES OF THE SAME ROW, AND TO INSURE AGAINST WATER
