[5 7] ABSTRACT A sheet of roofing paper includes two sets of visually distinct parallel guide lines which extend longitudinally of the paper. The guide lines of the first set are uniformly spaced apart and the width of the paper is not a multiple of the spacing between the first guide lines so that each end guide line in the set is spaced from the respective side edge of the paper a distance less than the spacing between the guide lines. The second set of guide lines includes a pair of guide lines each of which is located between the end guide line of the first set and the next adjacent guide line of that set. The guide lines of the first set serve as guides for laying rows of shingles and the guide lines of the sec ond set serve as guides for applying subsequent sheets of roofing paper in lapping relation.
11 Claims, 2 Drawing Figures SHINGILE ROOFING CONSTRUCTKON BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional asphalt or asbestos shingle roofs are normally constructed by initially applying felt roofing paper to the roof deck and then nailing rows or courses of shingles over the paper in overlapping relation. The standard asphalt or asbestos shingle is approximately 36 inches long and 12 inches wide and each course of shingles overlaps the upper portion of the adjacent lower course by approximately half the width of the shingles. The roofer normally gauges the overlap by eye and without any auxilliary guide mechanism. With short runs an experienced roofer can apply the rows of shingles in a relatively straight path, but when a long run is required, as in an apart-ment or commercial building, even an experienced roofer has considerable difficulty in maintaining the rows or courses of shingles in a straight path, with the result that the rows are frequently wavy and may vary as much as 4 to 5 inches throughout the length of the roof. This problem is further complicated when large obstructions, such as dormers, vents, skylights and the like, interrupt the courses of shingles. With an obstruction, such as a dormer, the shingles are applied independently on either side of the dormer and at the top of the dormer the courses are often out of alignment.
In the past, attempts have been made to insure precise alignment of rows of shingles by using 'auxilliary guide devices which are attached to the roof, or by laying out the position of each row of shingles and snapping chalk lines along the roof. While these methods aid in maintaining alignment of the rows of shingles, the time required for setting up these alignment systems often overbalances the benefits to be achieved, so that the roofers generally rely on their own visual ability to maintain alignment of the rows of shingles.
US. Pat. No. 3,541,745 of the same inventor, describes a roofing system for applying shingles which insures that the rows of shingles will be in precise alignment and follow a straight path along the entire length of the roof. According to the aforementioned patent, the roofing paper is formed with two sets of visually distinct guide lines which not only aid in alignment of the rows of shingles, but also aid in aligning the subsequently applied sheets of roofing paper in overlapping relation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an improvement to the roofing system shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,541,745. According to the invention, the roofing paper, which is adapted to be applied to the roof deck, is provided with two sets of generally parallel, visually distinct lines which extend longitudinally of the paper. The guide lines of one set are uniformly spaced across the width of the paper and the width of the paper is not a multiple of the distance between the guide lines, so that the end guide lines of the first set are spaced from the respective side edges of the roofing paper a distance that is less than the spacing between the guide lines. The second set of guide lines includes a pair of guide lines, each of which is located between an end guide line of the first set and the next adjacent guide lines of that set.
The second guide lines, which are visually distinct from the first guide lines, serve as a guide for applying additional sheets of roofing paper to the roof deck in overlapping relation, while the first guide lines serve as guides for applying the rows or courses of shingles over the roofing paper.
The roofing system of the invention provides an accurate method of applying shingles which insures that the rows of shingles are in precise alignment and follow a straight path along the entire length of the roof.
The system of the invention is inexpensive for no auxilliary guides or markers are required. The guide lines are applied to the roofing paper in the factory so that the overall cost of the system is minimal.
As both the first and second sets of guide lines are symmetrical across the width of the paper, the paper can be unrolled from either side edge of the roof, and the resulting guide pattern will be identical.
The guide system of the invention can be utilized with 36 inch width roofing paper which is standard in the industry.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the course of the following description.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The drawings illustrate the best mode presently contemplated of carrying out the invention.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the roofing system of the invention; and
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the rollof roofing paper having the two sets of guide lines.
As shown in the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a roof I which is generally either a hip or gable roof and facia board 2 is applied to the ends of the rafters at the lower edge of the roof. A gutter 3 is located along the facia 2 and the flashing 4 of the gutter is nailed to the roof deck l.
A number of sheets of roofing paper 5 are applied to the roof deck 1 with each succeeding upper sheet 5 overlapping the upper edge portion of the next lower sheet. As shown in the drawings, the lower edge of the lowermost sheet of roof paper 5 extends slightly beyond the lower edge of the roof deck above the facia In accordance with the invention, a set of uniformly spaced guide lines 6 are applied to the paper 5 and extend longitudinally of the paper. The guide lines 6 are parallel to the edges 7 of the paper and the spacing between the guide lines 6 is not a multiple of the width of the paper 5, so that the distance between the end guide lines and 6h of the set and the respective side edges 7 is substantially less than the spacing between the guide lines 6. In practice, the distance between the guide lines 6 would be approximately 5 inches, while the spacing between the end guide lines 6a and 6h and the respective side edges 7 would be approximately one-half inch.
in addition to the guide lines 6 the paper is also provided with a second set of guide lines 8a and 8b. The guide lines 6 are disposed parallel to the side edges 7 and the guide lines 60 is located between the guide lines 6a and 61) while the guide line 8b is located between the guide lines 6g and 6h. In practice, the guide lines 8a and 6b would be spaced inwardly approximately onehalf inch from the guide lines 6a and 6h respectively.
The guide lines 6 and 6 are visually distinct, meaning that the guide lines 6 and 8 are of a different color, or one set of guide lines can be continuous, and the other interrupted in the form of dots, dashes, or the like, or
the guide lines 6 and 8 can be differentiated in any other manner so that the roofer can be readily distinguish between the two sets of guide lines 6 and 8. The term guide lines" as used in the claims is intended to mean either a continuous or interrupted visual marker.
ln laying the roof, the rooder initially unrolls the paper 5, from one side edge of the roof to the opposite side edge and cuts the felt at the opposite side edge. The paper is then nailed to the roof deck with the lower edge 7 of the paper in the proper alignment with the facia board 2. The remaining roll of felt paper is then reversed in position and unrolled from the opposite side edge back toward the original side edge of the roof. The felt paper is again cut at the original side edge of the roof and the cut second sheet of roof paper is then nailed to the roof with the lower edge 7 of the second sheet aligned with the line 8b of the first sheet, as shown in FIG. 1. This procedure is repeated until the entire roof is covered with the sheets of the roofing paper with each upper sheet overlapping the upper edge of the next lower sheet at the line 8b.
As the guide lines 6 and 8 are symmetrical across the width of the roofing paper the roofer can unroll the felt from either side edge of the roof, as opposed to other types of roofing papers which have unsymmetrical guide lines across the width. With unsymmetrical guide lines, it is necessary to unroll the felt from only one side edge of the roof, so that the roofer, after applying one sheet of the roofing paper is required to carry the remaining roll of paper back to the original side edge of the roof to apply the next succeeding sheet of roofing paper. With roofs of substantial length, as in apartment or commercial buildings, this requires substantial time to continuously walk back and forth across the roof deck. However, with the roofing paper of the invention, the roofer need not unroll the paper from the same side edge of the roof, but and after applying one course or sheet of the roofing paper, he can merely reverse the roll and unroll it back toward the original side edge.
After the roofing paper has been nailed to the roof deck, a starter course of shingles 9 is applied with the upper edges of the starter course in alignment with the guide line 60. The shingles in the starter course are normally inverted so that slits face upwardly and the lower edge of the shingle is continuous. The first course of shingles 10 is then applied directly over the starter course with the upper edges of the first course also aligned with the guide line 60. Each succeeding course of shingles is then applied in overlapping relation to the previous courses with the upper edges of the shingles being aligned with each succeeding guide line 6d-6h, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
The roofing construction of the invention provides a precise method of aligning the rows or courses of shingles and insures that the rows will be laid in a straight path along the entire length of the roof without waves or ripples.
The roofing system can be utilized without the requirement for any additional equipment or labor costs, for the sets of guide lines are applied to the roofing paper in the factory and no additional time or labor is required in applying guides or laying out guide systems on the roof prior to laying of the roofing.
The roofing system has particular application to long roofs, such as in apartments or commercial buildings, and also to roofs having large obstructions such as dormers, vents, sky-lights and the like.
The guide line pattern of the invention can be applied to 36 inch roofing paper which is the standard of the industry. Furhermore, fewer guide lines are required with the roofing system of the invention than with prior types and this reduces the overall cost of the roofing paper.
