Description
- Shingles of the type having a butt portion and a tab portion, with slots separating tabs of the tab portion of the shingle, are known in the art. U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,212,843 and 6,467,235 represent examples of such shingles and their method of manufacture.
- It is also known to manufacture shingles, either of the single layer type or of the laminated type, comprising two or more layers of complete shingle material, wherein each layer of complete shingle material includes a base web of reinforcing material that is impregnated with and coated with an adhesive material, generally asphalt, which hardens, and with granules applied to an upper surface of the shingle material.
- Generally, the shingles are made by having a base web, often of fiberglass construction, as a reinforcing material, impregnated with the bitumen or other adhesive material, as part of a continuous process, and in which the granules are dropped onto the continuous sheet of impregnated and coated material, to adhere thereto, with the granules being dropped from granule applicators. Often, there are a plurality of granule applicators, which apply granules of a certain preselected aesthetic onto different portions of the shingle-forming layer passing therebeneath. For example, the granule applicators may contain granules of different colors, different shadings of the same color, different blends of color or shading, etc.
- It is desirable to have adjacent tabs separated by slots, wherein the tabs have some form of contrast or aesthetic from tab-to-tab. The contrast may be in the form of different shades of the same color, different colors from tab-to-tab, different blends of colors or shading from tab-to-tab, or of other variations.
- Often, the goal of such manners of shingle manufacture is to provide shingles that, once they are laid up on a roof, give the appearance of individual tiles, or individual slates, as may be desired, rather than appearing as tabs of a manufactured shingle.
- Because control of the dropping of granules from a given applicator may not be absolutely or precisely perfect, where shingles from a given hopper-type applicator may be intended to be dropped in a preplanned tab area of a shingle-forming layer passing therebeneath, and wherein granules from a different hopper applicator may be intended to be dropped on an adjacent tab area, there is often an intermediate zone or area, between adjacent tab areas, where there is a blend of granules from one applicator with granules from another applicator.
- The present invention is directed to providing a shingle and a method of making a shingle in which adjacent tabs can be sharply defined, in which granules of a given aesthetic are applied to one tab area and granules of another aesthetic are applied to an adjacent tab area, and which any mixture of granules from both of those areas that are applied to an intermediate area between those two tab areas, are removed by removing the entire intermediate area, to yield two distinct tabs.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a shingle and a method of making the shingle, in which granules of more than one aesthetic are applied to a shingle-forming layer, each in a different area, and wherein a mixture of granules of both aesthetics are applied in an intermediate area, which intermediate area is then removed to yield adjacent shingle tabs that are sharply defined, each having granules only of its own predetermined aesthetic.
- It is another object to accomplish the above objects, wherein the removal takes place by cutting generally transverse slots between tab areas such that each remaining tab area yields visually sharp, precise starting and ending delineations of its own aesthetic.
- Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent upon the reading of the following brief description of the drawing figures, the detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiments, and the appended claims.
-
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a layer of shingle-forming material being continuously conveyed along a generally horizontal path, beneath a plurality of hopper type granule applicators which are dropping granules onto predetermined tab areas of the coated web of shingle-forming material. -
FIG. 2 is a top view of the continuous coated web of shingle-forming material, with granules of different aesthetics already applied thereto, in different areas, spaced by intervening transitional or intermediate areas, which intermediate areas contain mixtures or blends of granules from each adjacent tab area. -
FIG. 3 illustrates the continuous layer of shingle-forming material, with granules already applied thereon, passing under slot-forming cutting apparatus and shingle separation cutting apparatus. -
FIG. 3A is a fragmentary illustration similar to that ofFIG. 3 , but wherein a rotary mechanism is illustrated for cutting the slots between adjacent tabs and cutting the shingle-forming material into individual shingles. -
FIG. 4 is an illustration similar to that ofFIG. 2 , but after the slots have been cut between adjacent tabs of the shingle, removing the intermediate areas that had contained mixtures or blends of granules from the adjacent tab areas. -
FIG. 5 is a top view of a completed shingle made in accordance with this invention. -
FIG. 6 is a front edge view of a completed shingle in accordance with this invention, having multi-layers, to yield a laminated shingle. - Referring to the drawings in detail, reference is first made to
FIG. 1 , wherein a continuous layer of shingle-forming material is illustrated by thenumeral 10, as comprising a base web of reinforcing material, generally of fiberglass construction, impregnated with and coated with an adhesive material, generally of the asphalt or other bitumen type, as a hardenable coating, to an upper and lower surface thereof. Such layer of shingle-forming material, up to this point in the manufacture, may be constructed as disclosed in either of the above-mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 6,212,843 or U.S. Pat. No. 6,467,235, or by other techniques. - The shingle-forming
material 10 is horizontally conveyed along a conveyor formed by a plurality of rollers 11, being rotated in the clockwise direction shown by thearrows 12, such that the shingle-forming material is moved from left to right as shown inFIG. 1 , in the direction of thearrow 13, to pass beneath a plurality of hopper-type granule applicators - It will be apparent that any number of granule applicators may be used as may be desired, depending upon the aesthetic illustration desired in the final shingle.
- For purposes of this application, the granules being dispensed from each of the
applicators - Thus, as used herein, the term “aesthetic”, will mean a given, predetermined array of granules that will yield a certain visual impression, which will often be different than an array of granules that yields a different visual impression from that of an adjacent tab area. Alternatively, some adjacent tab areas could have the same aesthetics, to give the same visual impression, if desired.
- Accordingly, with reference to
FIG. 2 , it will be seen that the layer of shingle-forming material is provided with anupper butt portion 17 and alower tab portion 18. - The
butt portion 17 will generally be provided with granules that are adapted to be covered when shingles are laid-up on a roof, and such granules can be as are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,212,843 or U.S. Pat. No. 6,467,235, or of any other type, in that such are not the granules to which the present invention is directed. The granules that are applied from theapplicators FIG. 1 , are granules that will produce “aesthetics” A, B, and C as shown inFIG. 2 . - Because the deposit of granules from the
applicators FIG. 2 , or any other variations of different aesthetic areas following a previous aesthetic area. The arrangement of the variations of different aesthetic areas can be patterned or have a random distribution. - In any event, between the various A, B and C aesthetic areas, it will be seen that there are intermediate areas in the
tab portion 18, such as, as viewed from right-to-left as viewed inFIG. 2 , the intermediate area BA between areas A and B, the intermediate area CB between areas B and C, the intermediate area BC between areas C and B, the intermediate area AB between areas B and A, the intermediate area BA between areas A and B, the intermediate area CB between areas B and C, and the intermediate area BC between areas C and B, for example. - For ease of understanding, in the course of this application, the tab areas A, B and C will be considered “primary” areas, and the areas BA, CB, BC, AB, BA, CB and BC will be considered intermediate or transitional areas.
- It will also be understood that the intermediate or transitional areas are comprised, in each case, of some blend or mixture of granules from each of the primary areas on each side of the transitional area, and that such occurs because of the limitations on precision with regard to the dropping of granules; that is, that it is not always possible to precisely stop the application of granules, or to precisely start the application of granules when they are being delivered via gravity drop from a hopper-type granule applicator, roll- or belt-type granule applicator, or any other type of applicator. Application may also be provided with pneumatic assist, contact adhesion, or particle placement devices.
- With reference now to
FIG. 3 , it will be seen that the continuous sheet of shingle-formingmaterial 10, after application of granules, continues on over rollers 11 or other types of conveying apparatus, to aslot forming device 20. Theslot forming device 20 may be of any desired type, but could be of the type illustrated inFIG. 3 , in which thedevice 20 is moved upwardly or downwardly, so that its slot-cutting portion 21, when moved downwardly in the direction of the double headedarrow 22, can cut out the intermediate areas of the tab portion between primary areas of the tab portion, to yield spaced-apart tabs 26, separated byslots 27. WhileFIG. 4 shows each of thetabs 26 to have similar parameters of shape, length, and width, with respect to one another, these parameters could be varied from tab to tab. Similarly, the width ofslots 27 may vary from slot to slot. Thus, in an alternative embodiment, the shingle-forminglayer 10 can be made with at least one of the parameters of tab shape, tab length, tab width and slot width varied as the sheet is conveyed through the manufacturing process. - The shingle-forming
layer 10 is then delivered to acutter mechanism 23, which also can be of the type that moves vertically upwardly and downwardly in the direction of the double headedarrow 25, such that itslower edge 24 can cut through the shingle-formingmaterial 10 when desired, to separate the shingle-formingmaterial 10 into separate discrete shingles, each comprising a plurality of tabs, such as the four-tab shingle ofFIG. 5 . - With reference now to
FIG. 3A , it will be seen that the shingle-forminglayer 10 may have its slots and shingle cut-off formed therein by means of arotary member 30 having aslot cutter 31 carried thereby, which cuts theslots 27 in the shingle-formingmaterial 10 as the rotary cutter is turned in the direction of thearrow 31. Similarly, the shingle cut-off mechanism may, in lieu of that shown inFIG. 3 , be comprised of arotary member 32 having acutting blade 33 thereon, which cuts the shingle-formingmaterial 10 into separate discrete shingles, as thecutter mechanism 32 is rotated in the direction of thearrow 34. Other cutting or removal means known in the art may be employed to form the slots or to cut the shingle-forming material into separate discrete shingles. - Referring now to
FIG. 5 , it will be seen that a representative shingle is shown, having a plurality of aesthetic areas that sharply define thetabs 26, separated byslots 27, with each slot being as wide in the longitudinal direction from left-to-right as shown, as at least the width of the entire intermediate area between adjacent primary areas as shown inFIG. 2 , such that in each case the entire intermediate area is removed, leaving visually sharp, precise starting and ending delineations at each longitudinal end of each of the primary areas, with granules of a given aesthetic in each primary area being spaced apart on longitudinally opposite sides of a given slot. - With reference now to
FIG. 6 , it will be seen that the completed shingle ofFIG. 5 , is illustrated in lower or front edge view, and that the completedshingle 40 ofFIG. 5 has been provided with either a half height or full height, as may be desired, separate complete layer ofshingle material 41, adhesively secured thereto alongsurface 42, to yield a laminated multi-layer shingle. WhileFIG. 6 shows a shingle where the separate complete layer ofshingle material 41 was applied prior to forming ofslots 27, thelayer 41 could also be applied after theslots 27 have been formed in the shingle-formingmaterial 10, providing the completedshingle 40 having slots formed in one, but not all, layers of a laminated multi-layer shingle. Alternatively, a single layer shingle could be provided by omittinglayer 41 from the shingle construction. - While the embodiments discussed above have three aesthetic areas, A, B, and C, it will be understood that the invention could be applied to a roofing material having a plurality of aesthetic areas. For example, two, three, or four, or more different aesthetic areas may be present on a shingle of the invention.
- It will be apparent from the forgoing that various modifications may be made in the details of construction, the manner of manufacture, and the sequence of steps in connection with the manufacture, to yield various aesthetic presentations for a completed shingle, as is embraced within the appended claims.
