ABSTRACT:
Fixture and method for laying shingles on the surface of a roof or vertical wall wherein the fixture comprises a pair of L-section rails and a L-section shingle support member. The shingle support member is secured to a pair of arms which are swingably mountable on the rails at spaced slots therealong. The shingle support member may be secured to the arms in either of two orientations. In one orientation, one leg of the shingle support member provides an abutment surface for supporting the bottom edges of a row of thin pliable shingles and another leg provides a surface for partially supporting the pliable shingles from below. In another orientation, only one leg of the shingle support member is used to provide an abutment surface for supporting the bottom edge of a row of thick rigid shingles, without supporting the shingles from below. Either or both rails may be color coded to facilitate laying rows of shingles on both sides of a roof obstacle with perfect uniformity of spacing between the bottom edges of adjacent rows. A spring device may be used to bias the shingle support member towards a vertical wall. Another spring device may be secured to the shingle support member to retain the shingles against the vertical wall.
