ABSTRACT:
A guide device removably affixed to a roof includes a cable extending between the ridge and the gutter edge of the roof. An internal combustion engine is mounted in a housing having an open forward end and a closed rear end. Two drive shafts are rotatably mounted in the housing and coupled to, and rotated by, the motor. A cable drum is affixed to, and rotatable with, a drive shaft, and has the cable of the guide device wound thereon in a manner whereby as the drive shaft rotates, the cable is wound on the drum and the housing moves up the roof from the gutter to the ridge. A clutch decouples the motor from the drive shaft when the housing reaches the guide device at the ridge. Cutters at the forward end in the housing are coupled to the motor and driven thereby for cutting the nails of shingles as the housing is moved up the roof whereby the severed shingles fall into the housing and accumulate at the rear end thereof. A trap at the rear end of the housing permits removal of the severed shingles therefrom.
