Benefits of technology

This patent provides a shingle support apparatus that allows for adjustable distance between two braces and a strap for carrying the apparatus onto a roof. The braces have elongated bodies with cross-sectional shapes of circles, rectangles, or squares, and are placed on the roof parallel to one another. The strap connects the two braces and is adjustable in length to change the distance between them. This apparatus simplifies the installation process of shingles on roofs and makes it easier to carry onto the roof.

Problems solved by technology

This job is both physical and dangerous.
One conventional method includes attaching a rigid wedge shaped platform over the peak of the roof, which is cumbersome and costly.
This process is labor intensive, dangerous, and could cause roof leaks from holes left by the cleat nails.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Referring to the drawings, the present invention will be described in detail in view of following embodiments. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a shingle support apparatus may include one or more straps by which braces can be inserted or attached to, that secure and support shingles at delivery and during roof installation. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a shingle support apparatus may include the adjustment of loop straps holding various positions to account for roof angles.

[0014]As shown in FIG. 1, a first shingle support apparatus 20 is located on a roof 10 of a building, such as a residence or a commercial building. The roof 10 includes two surfaces 12 that adjoin one another along a ridge 14. Each of the surfaces 12 of the roof 10 defines a pitch 16, which may be measured as an angle or as a ratio of rise in a vertical direction, to run in a horizontal direction. The pitch 16 may be specified in terms of length in inches of rise for eac...

Abstract

A shingle support apparatus includes a first brace and a second brace, with each of the braces having elongated bodies with a length between 3.0 feet and 4.0 feet. The second brace extends parallel to and spaced apart from the elongated body of the first brace. A strap joins the first brace to the second brace. The strap has an adjustable length for changing a distance between the first brace and the second brace based on a pitch of a roof. Each of the braces may have a cross- sectional shape of one of a circle, a rectangle, or a square. A method of using the shingle support apparatus is also provided.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This U.S. utility patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 022,646, filed May 11, 2020 the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to the roofing arts, and specifically a support structure for storing shingles at delivery and during roof installation.2. Related Art[0003]Roofers, contractors, and construction suppliers load sloped roofs when roofing materials are delivered to job sites. This job is both physical and dangerous. One aspect of the job is stacking the shingles in a secure manner so they don't slide off the roof or change their shape. Two methods have been used for loading steep sloped roofs. One conventional method includes attaching a rigid wedge shaped platform over the peak of the roof, which is cumbersome and costly. Another conventional method includes ...
