ABSTRACT:
Shingling apparatus for applying standard manufactured shingles in successive steps to a roof comprises a frame having a wheel assembly with air driven motors which move the apparatus in a vertical motion. A hopper holds the shingles, and a shuffle bar moves across the shingles placing one shingle at a time onto forks. The forks then move down to the roof where the shingle is then placed in the designated area and then fastened to the roof with a pneumatic nail gun. After the shingle has been fastened, the forks pull out from under the shingle and then return to the starting position to retrieve the next shingle to be fastened down. As the forks return the apparatus starts to move towards the top of the roof in a vertical direction. It stops when it reaches a sensed, predetermined destination. The apparatus is attached to nylon belts which are fastened at the top of the roof to a linear motion brace which is fastened across the peak of the roof.
All movements are accomplished through the use of many sensors and a microprocessing system. The apparatus requires very little attention after the initial setup. The operator simply keeps the hopper filled with shingles and the pneumatic guns filled with fasteners.
