As a shingle in the will heraldry a simple rectangle called.

Blazon and shaping

Single or multiple shingles can appear in the coat of arms. Then their number must be stated. They are then a mean figure because they float in the field . For the herald's picture , names such as billet and letter can also be found in the descriptions. The layers are longitudinal shingle ( pole-like , which is standing), lying shingle ( beam-like ), sloping and obliquely left lying. With diagonally cut ends ( parallelograms ) the clapboard is called clipped .

Shingles , shingling a chessboard elongated on one side . It is formed by crossing vertical and horizontal lines. The resulting rectangles, standing vertically on the short side, are tinged alternately. Such a split crest field is shingled or narrow geschacht emblazoned . The simplest clapboard corresponds to 1 ×  divided , 2 ×  split . As a surface design, shingles are a heraldic image .

If the rectangles in the coat of arms are horizontal on the long side, terms such as stones or bricks are justified for this picture. In the description of the coat of arms it is spoken of bricked . If only the dividing lines and no different tinging can be seen, then it is walled in black in the field color or squared on figures such as buildings.

Shingle cut ( Eisendorf  DE)

Otherwise there is also the oblique (right) shingling and the oblique left shingling .

Shingled emblazoned you can also create a loose pattern with small rectangles ( seeded / sprinkled with shingles ) .

There is also the clapboard cut derived from the figure . It is similar to the pewter cut , but is coarser and always in unequal-sided rectangles, and has a different thematic reference.

The shingle that is shortened to a square is called the Viereck or Vierung , the one rounded at the bottom is the little sign . The hamaide are three stacked shingles that become shorter towards the bottom or top. Although the clapboard could be a floating post, beam, or inclined beam, one does not say so because the two objects are alien in nature. The sloping clapboard is called breakage (break-in) when it is specifically a symbol for bastard coats of arms, it is considered a greatly shortened oblique thread.
