Description
- This is a division of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/627,235, filed Nov. 30, 2009, which was a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/383,769 filed May 17, 2006, the complete disclosures of which is herein incorporated by reference.
- It is known in the roofing art to provide roll roofing material, formed into cylindrical rolls. Such roll roofing material will generally comprise asphalt saturated felts, which may function as starter strips on a roof, or as underlayments on a roof over which shingles may be applied. Generally, when used as starter strips, or as underlayments, the roll roofing material, with or without mineral surfaces applied on the outwardly-facing surface, will be applied on sloped roofs. Sometimes granules or other minerals are applied in an embedded form to the outwardly-facing surface of the roll roofing material during its manufacture.
- Typically, rolled roofing is sold in boxes. However, the boxing-up of roll roofing can be resource-intensive during production, requiring additional labor to box the material and to then palletize the boxes. Such packaging, when it is done, can cause a reduction in the speed of production lines.
- Additionally, boxes can offer protection from ultraviolet light, and it is desirable to avoid placing roofing products where they can be subjected to unnecessary ultraviolet light, in order to avoid degradation of the roofing materials. For example, some adhesives, such as can be used on self-adhering membranes (roll roofing type) can be susceptible to ultraviolet degradation. Other adhesives can also be susceptible to ultraviolet degradation. Sometimes roll roofing material is placed in an opaque liner that covers the outside of the rolled roofing products, but often, even when the outside or cylindrical surface of the roll roofing material is wrapped with an opaque liner, the ends of the rolls can be exposed to ultraviolet light, thereby leading to adhesive degradation and loss of adhesive tack at the outermost edges of the roll roofing product.
- Furthermore, when roll roofing materials are applied on a sloped or pitched roof, the roofing may roll off the roof, creating a hazardous working environment. Sometimes, the roll roofing is placed in boxes to stabilize them and prevent them from rolling off the roof.
- Additionally, due to the size and shape of roll roofing, such roofing can be unwieldy and difficult to transport from the ground to the rooftop at a construction site. For example, typical sizes of roll roofing can be 36 inches wide and, when unrolled from their cylindrical form to a flat form, can be 36 feet long, 72 feet long, 144 feet long, etc., which, considering the materials from which roll roofing are created, including generally asphalt-impregnated webs, with particulate material applied thereto, such as granules, talc, etc., the weight involved in having to transport roll roofing from typically a ground level to a roofing level, up a ladder or the like, can create difficult labor situations.
- In accordance with this invention, roll roofing is provided with end or other treatment that addresses the problem of stabilizing rolls on a roof, addresses the problem of photodegradation of adhesive at ends of the rolls, and which eases the transportability of rolls from ground level to rooftop.
- Accordingly, it is a primary object of this invention to provide a novel roll roofing material of cylindrical configuration, in which a transverse member is provided, with portions protruding outwardly of the cylindrical surface of the roll roofing, such that when the roll roofing material is disposed on a roof, the transverse member will resist rolling of the roofing material off the roof.
- It is a further object of this invention to accomplish the above object, wherein the roll roofing has a hollow core, with at least one insert disposed therein carrying the transverse member.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide a protective cover for one or more ends of the roll of roofing material, and most preferably, with a protective cover providing a shield that inhibits photodegradation of any adhesive at the end of the roll roofing material.
- It is another object of this invention to provide various configurations for the transverse member described above.
- It is yet another object of this invention to provide connectors at opposite ends of the roll roofing material, with a carrying strap connected thereto, to facilitate transporting the roll of roofing material.
- It is a further object of this invention, to provide a band disposed about the roll roofing, with the band being openable for movement from a cylindrical configuration to a more flattened configuration, to prevent rolling of the roll roofing material off a sloped roof.
- Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent upon a reading of the following brief descriptions of the drawing figures, the detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiments, and the appended claims.

The carryingstrap 45 is equipped with attachment means, which optionally may be of a quick attachment or release type, such as, for example, carabiner clips, spring closed hooks, swivel hooks, snap hooks, a loop with a snap, or the like. Thus, it will be seen that the roll roofing material as shown inFIG. 1 is not likely to roll off theroof 24, regardless of the slope or pitch of the roof. - With reference now to
FIG. 4 , analternative roofing material 50 is shown, disposed on a generallyflat roof 51. Theroll roofing material 50 is likewise cylindrically wound, and may or may not have a paper, plastic or other wrapping on theexterior surface 49 thereof, as may theroll roofing material 28 likewise have, if desired, with theroll roofing material 50 likewise have a cardboard, plastic or likecylindrical core 56 disposed therein.End inserts 52, generally frusto-conically configured as shown at 52 may be provided in one or bothends 53 of theroll roofing material 50. Theinserts 52 may have some means for accommodating atransverse bar 54 therein, such as thevertical slot 55 shown inFIG. 5 . The transverse bar will be of a transverse dimension that is greater than the diametral dimension of the exterior of thecylindrical roll 50, to inhibit the rolling of the same along theroof 51. Protective end covers (not shown) may optionally be provided for theroll roofing material 50 shown inFIG. 5 , similar to the protective covers illustrated in the embodiment ofFIG. 2 . When other anti-rolling structures like thebar 54 are used, the anti-rolling triangular covers can take on other configurations than triangular, or can be eliminated altogether if desired. - With reference now to
FIG. 6 , another embodiment ofroll roofing material 60 is illustrated, also with a hollowcylindrical core 61, in which is disposed a hollow cardboard, plastic or thelike sleeve 62, but in the embodiment ofFIG. 6 , thesleeve 62 extends outwardly of theends roll roofing material 60, an amount “D”, resulting in endwiseprojections - The projecting ends 65, 66 may have
slots bars bars 54 for the embodiments ofFIGS. 4 and 5 , to prevent rolling of the roll roofing material relative to a pitched roof. - With reference now to
FIG. 7 , a roll ofroll roofing material 75 is illustrated, having opposite ends 76, 77, with an exterior paper, plastic or like covering 78 on the outer cylindrical surface thereof, and with the covering 78 havingscore lines lines anti-rolling projections 84 may be folded outwardly from the surface covering 78, in a transverse manner, as shown, to prevent rolling of theroll roofing material 75 relative to a pitchedroof 85. The material making up the covering 78 is selected such that it has a degree of rigidity sufficient for theanti rolling projections 84 to inhibit rolling along the roof when deployed. It will be noted that in the embodiment shown, there are threedifferent projections 84 around the periphery of thecylindrical covering 78 for theroll roofing material 75 at each end, generally equidistantly spaced from each other, approximately 120° each. It will also be noted that while three projections are depicted inFIG. 7 , other quantities of projections could be provided so as to inhibit rolling along the roof. - With reference now to
FIGS. 10-15 , yet another embodiment of this invention is illustrated, in the form of a roll roofing material generally designated at 90, as comprising a roll of roofing material with an exterior protective wrapping 91 of paper, plastic, or other suitable type. - A
band 92, which may be of a plastic material or the like, or possibly metal as an alternative, is provided, disposed around the periphery of the wrapping 91 of thecylindrical roll material 90, with the band having anopening 93 therein, predisposed to be moved from a partial opening to a full opening, as by means of cutting along a score line or the like. Theband 93 is thus moveable from its cylindrical configuration shown inFIG. 10 , to a generally flattened configuration therefor shown inFIG. 11 , in that theband 93 will preferably have a memory of the flattened condition therefor as shown inFIG. 11 , after it is opened from its circular configuration as shown inFIG. 10 . The wrapping 91 may extend the length of the roll of the roll roofing material as shown inFIG. 11 . Optionally (not shown), the wrapping may simply be of sufficient dimension to serve the purpose of affixing theband 92 to thecylindrical roll material 90. - With reference to
FIG. 12 , it will be seen how the roll roofing material appears in end view. Referring now toFIG. 13 , it will be seen that theband 92 is partially open and is in a state of returning to its remembered flat condition shown inFIG. 11 , as it springs outwardly from its position illustrated inFIG. 12 , to that illustrated inFIG. 11 , as shown by thearrows 97 inFIG. 13 . - With reference to
FIG. 14 , theband 92 is shown adhesively connected at 94 to the exterior wrapping 91 included as part of theroll roofing material 90, with the fastening means 94 attaching the wrapping 91 to theband 92.
