ABSTRACT:
A shingle laying apparatus includes a first horizontally extending track; a second track formed by a pair of longitudinal track members extending at right angles to the first track, and a carriage frame mounted on the second track. The second track is mounted for movement in a horizontal direction to the first track and carries the carriage frame for horizontal movement across the roof. The carriage frame is mounted to the second track for movement toward the first track between releasably fixed position associated with appropriate placement of a row of shingles across the roof. The carriage frame include a planar surface forming a tray to carry a load of shingles and provide a seat for an operator laying a row of shingles while moving the frame horizontally along the roof. In the preferred embodiment, a fastener gun assembly is pivotally mounted on the carriage frame in a position for quickly fastening each shingle which is laid on the roof. Upon finishing a horizontal row of shingles, the operator, via a rachet assembly mounted on the frame which cooperates with stop pins provided on the second track members, caused the carriage member to move along the second track a measured distance associated with the next adjacent row of shingles to be laid.
