SHINGLED BUILDING PANEL by Otis M. Martin and Thomas L. Marshall A shingled panel (10) for covering the exterior of structures is disclosed which includes a base sheet (11) having at least one, and preferably multiple courses (12, 25, 35) of singles secured thereto. The lowest course (12) of shingles (13) are positioned over a water resistant membrane strip (17) having an opening (18) through which the shingles (13) are glued directly to the base sheet (11). Each higher course (25, 35) of shingles (26, 36) has a membrane strip (27, 37) thereunder which terminates short of the bottom of each shingle in that course so that glue bond (31, 41) between the lower portion of each shingle (36 26) in that course (35, 25) and the shingles (26, 13) in the next lower course (25, 12) can be achieved. Side-to-side sealing of adjacent panels (10) is effected by the end shingles (2 , 48, 56) in alternate courses of shingles extending beyond the edges (34, 42) of the panel, while the end shingles (14, 28, 49) in the same courses at the opposite ends similarly are laterally recessed from the edges (34, 42) of the panel (10). Moreover, laterally recessed end shingles (14, 28) have a thickness dimension greater than laterally protruding end shingles (22, 48, 56) to facilitate nesting of shingles from laterally adjacent panels in overlapped, side-by-side relation across the joint between adjacent panels. |
