[57] ABSTRACT
The present invention provides a machine for automating the transferral and application of hot asphalt material to roof surfaces. The machine includes a number of reels attached to an outer shell contained on a cart. Each reel contains roughly five-hundred feet of hose and attaches to one of two types of hand-held applicator devices. An electric generator, a storage tank assembly, and a pump assembly are contained within the outer shell. The combination of heating elements disposed within the storage tank and heating wires wrapped around the inner tube members of the hoses keeps the asphalt material in a liquified form during operation of the device. Compared to other conventional methods and apparatus, the present device greatly enhances the safety and efficiency associated with hot asphalt roofing.
