Definitions

  • the shingle is manufactured in two parts. The first part is 50 feet long across by 1 foot high. It is a solid shingle. The second part is 3 feet long with a 6 ⁇ 6 inch cut out every 6 inches. These two shingles are glued at manufacturing to form a single 50 foot long piece (Drawing #2). The shingles are then folded at manufacturing every three feet left to right and made into one single bundle (Drawing #3). Four bundles make 1 square of roofing.
  • the invention is composed of a continuous asphalt roof shingle that is 50 feet long. It is folded into three foot sections (Drawing #1), left over right, until it forms a three foot long bundle. It is applied by nailing the first shingle at the edge of the beginning of the roof. The bundle is unfolded and pulled across the 50 foot length of the roof simultaneously. The shingle is then nailed every eight inches. The process is repeated in rows every six inches.

Abstract

The purpose of this new roofing idea is to increase the speed of the application of asphalt roofing. It is composed of a single roof shingle that is 51 feet long. The asphalt shingle is manufactured in two parts. The first part is 51 feet long by 1 foot high. It is a continuous shingle. The second part is 3 feet long with a 6×6 inch cut outs every 6 inches (see Diagram #1). The 3 foot long sections are glued on top of the 51 foot long shingle, forming a continuous finished shingle 51 feet in length. It is folded at manufacturing into three foot sections, left over right, forming a three foot long bundle (see Diagram #2). It is applied by nailing the first shingle to the roof. The bundle is then pulled open and laid flat across a 51 foot section of the roof (see Diagram #3). The shingle is nailed every eight inches. The process is repeated in layers leaving six inches of exposed shingle. Four bundles will equal one square of roofing.

Description

    DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION & MANNER AND PROCESS OF MAKING IT
  • The shingle is manufactured in two parts. The first part is 50 feet long across by 1 foot high. It is a solid shingle. The second part is 3 feet long with a 6×6 inch cut out every 6 inches. These two shingles are glued at manufacturing to form a single 50 foot long piece (Drawing #2). The shingles are then folded at manufacturing every three feet left to right and made into one single bundle (Drawing #3). Four bundles make 1 square of roofing.
    • BEST MODE AND PROCESS OF USING INVENTION
  • The invention is composed of a continuous asphalt roof shingle that is 50 feet long. It is folded into three foot sections (Drawing #1), left over right, until it forms a three foot long bundle. It is applied by nailing the first shingle at the edge of the beginning of the roof. The bundle is unfolded and pulled across the 50 foot length of the roof simultaneously. The shingle is then nailed every eight inches. The process is repeated in rows every six inches. The application to the roof is standard nailing application for any regular roofing installation except that the application time is substantially reduced.

Claims (1)

1. The subject matter of this invention is an entirely new asphalt roofing shingle system that will substantially decrease the installation time. As above described, these newly designed bundled shingles can be installed on a roof in continuous 50 foot overlapping rows. With less labor effort, more roof area will be covered faster than is possible with present asphalt roofing products.
