    • BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The “Emergency Roof Repair Kit” is a temporary emergency protection system for weather damaged roofs and incorporates all components needed to facilitate repair.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention consists of several components placed in a corrugated cardboard box. The components are designed to provide a temporary emergency repair and protection system against weather damage for a single-family house including everything required to effect the repair.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The “Emergency Roof Repair Kit” is a temporary emergency protection system for weather damaged roofs and incorporates all components needed to facilitate repair.
  • The corrugated cardboard box is designed to be mounted on the roof and includes the following components:
  • 740 square feet (113.75′×6.5′) Plastic Sheeting of woven high density polyenthylene (HDPE) black fibers laminated on both sides with low density polyenthylene (LDPE) coating. Reinforced with 3 anchoring bands of 7.5 cm (Approximately 3″) made of women black HDPE black fibers and coated outside. Color: White (Reflective) with Grey Bands. Sheeting thickness is 10 mil with the bands at 20 mil. Bands allow for the nailing of the sheeting and are designed to prevent tearing.
  • 200 Ea., Plastic-Capped Roofing Nails to attach sheeting to roof. Plastic-capped nails help to keep moisture from entering at the point of nail puncture.
  • 1 Ea, Claw Hammer with Wood Handle.
  • 12 Ea, Elasticized Bungie Ties—These ties include an anchoring head which enables the sheeting to be secured to studs or scaffolding whenever the use of nails is not practical.
  • 1 Ea, Utility Knife allows the installer to cut the sheeting to size.
  • 1 Pair, Safety Goggles.
  • 1 Pair, Leather Work Gloves.
  • 1 Ea, Tool Belt to hold roofing nails, elasticized ties and claw hammer during installation.
  • Sheeting is rolled on a sturdy cardboard core which allows the user to pull the desired length from the roof-mounted box which will then be secured to the damaged area with the plastic-capped roofing nails or elasticized bungie ties anywhere on the anchoring bands of the sheeting. Sheeting should be installed from the lower part of the roof upwards with each successive row overlapped by at least 6″ which will help prevent moisture and wind from entering the structure.
