ABSTRACT:
An assembly including rolled shingle roofing material that can be easily installed on a roof and a special handling tool. The tool reduces the strain of carrying the roofing material and of raising to the roof. The roofing material includes a membrane attached by pressure-sensitive adhesive to a plurality of standard flat roofing shingles so as to create a continuous array of shingles which can be formed into a roll or rolled onto a spool. This membrane also serves as a release sheet to prevent thermally-activated adhesive present on the shingles from causing them to stick together in the roll. Alternately, roofing material pre-cut with slots to resemble shingles is rolled together with a release sheet placed on the bottom of the material so as to isolate a thermally-activated adhesive applied thereto from other surfaces. In the assembly, either type of roofing material can be used with the special handling tool. This tool includes a "U"-shaped tube in which one of its branches is inserted through a hollow core formed by the rolled roofing material itself or, alternately, a hollow cylinder upon which material has been wound. The branch of the "U"-shaped tube so inserted can then be used as an attachment point for a rope, useful in raising the roll of roofing material to the roof. Or one can use the distal end of the "U"-shaped tube as a handle to facilitate carrying the rolled roofing material and placing it on the roof.
