Description: |
|
This is a very nice design for a clapboard/shingle holder, which uses
a curved body of spring steel to act as both a tongue to fit under the
previous clapboard. Once the tongue is in place, compressing the spring
will drive a sharp point into the clapboard to secure the tool.
Note that the last page of the patent contains a correction. The patent
papers give one of the middle names as "Harry", when it is in fact "Harvy".
