Roll roofing

摘要

A roll roofing material is provided in the form of a cylindrical roll that may or may not have an exterior covering thereon, and with transverse members being provided, carried by the cylindrical roll, and which protrude generally outwardly of an exterior cylindrical surface of the roll. The transverse members inhibit rolling of the roll roofing either off a pitched roof. One or more inserts may be provided in a hollow core of the roll, and connectors may attach a strap to these inserts for transporting the same from ground to a rooftop, or otherwise. Protective covers may be provided at opposite ends of the roll roofing, and the protective covers may comprise the transverse members, as may be desired.

1. A roll of roofing material with an anti-roll device for preventing rolling of the roll of roofing material off a roof when the roll of roofing material is disposed in a cylindrical roll on and against the surface of a sloped roof, comprising:
(a) a generally cylindrical roll comprising a roll of roofing material including an asphalt-impregnated web with particulate material in the form of granules applied thereto; with the roll of roofing material having a substantially hollow core portion at at least one end, and with the generally cylindrical roll having an outer cylindrical surface of a given diametric dimension; (b) the anti-roll device having the following features: (i) the anti-roll device is a means whereby, when the generally cylindrical roll is disposed on a sloped roof with its outer cylindrical surface against the surface of the sloped roof, the anti-roll device will resist rolling of the cylindrical roll off the roof; and (ii) the said means further comprises a transverse member of a transverse dimension greater than the given diametrical dimension of the cylindrical roll, whereby the transverse member protrudes generally outwardly of the cylindrical surface of the roll.
