After sufficient curing, the siding or roof shingle system is separated from the mold surface member and is ready for immediate use and/or further processing. Alternatively, a system and method are provided for continually producing board-type cementitious siding systems and cementitious roof shingle systems that may be elongate and can be cut to an appropriate size, without the need to produce individual siding or roof shingle systems of limited size. The cementitious siding and roof shingle systems continually produced thereby are ready for immediate use and/or further processing. | 04-29-2010 |
20100205887 | Fast installing roof shingle - The purpose of this new roofing idea is to increase the speed of the application of asphalt roofing. It is composed of a single roof shingle that is 51 feet long. The asphalt shingle is manufactured in two parts. The first part is 51 feet long by 1 foot high. It is a continuous shingle. The second part is 3 feet long with a 6×6 inch cut outs every 6 inches (see Diagram #1). The 3 foot long sections are glued on top of the 51 foot long shingle, forming a continuous finished shingle 51 feet in length. It is folded at manufacturing into three foot sections, left over right, forming a three foot long bundle (see Diagram #2). It is applied by nailing the first shingle to the roof. The bundle is then pulled open and laid flat across a 51 foot section of the roof (see Diagram #3). The shingle is nailed every eight inches. The process is repeated in layers leaving six inches of exposed shingle. Four bundles will equal one square of roofing. | 08-19-2010 |

20130276397 | Leak Locating Shingle - A leak locating shingle comprises a body portion of the shingle with three tabs extending from a lower edge of the shingle. The upper corners of the body portion are trimmed at an angle. When two leak locating shingles are placed side by side, a water-trapping groove is created where the trimmed upper corners meet. If a leak occurs, water runs along the top edge of a shingle, until it encounters a water-trapping groove where the flow of the water trail is interrupted, due to the loss of a continuous path along the upper edge of the shingles. As water accumulates in the water-trapping groove, any water overflow occurs at the bottom of the water-trapping groove, causing the water to run over the top of the shingles. This limits the range of the water trail, and allows roof repair workers to more easily locate and repair the leak. | 10-24-2013 |
20140260047 | SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ROOFING PRODUCT WITH APPLIED SHADOW EFFECT - A roofing shingle has a shingle body with at least a top layer having a buttlap portion with a butt edge and a headlap portion.

The roofing system comprises a multiplicity of courses of roofing shingles having a headlap portion, a buttlap portion, a lateral leading edge, and a lateral trailing edge, wherein the headlap portion has a width that is less than a width of the buttlap portion defining a reduced-width headlap, wherein the lateral trailing edge of a shingle in a course partially overlaps and partially abuts the lateral leading edge of an adjacent previously installed shingle to form an interlocking edge between adjacent shingles in the course, and wherein the lateral edge includes a trailing edge projection having a weather edge, a rear edge, and a variable breadth that increases toward the rear edge of the trailing edge projection. | 05-26-2016 |
20160186438 | SINGLE LAYER FOLDABLE REINFORCED BULLNOSE HIP AND RIDGE CAP SHINGLE - A single layer foldable reinforced bullnose hip and ridge cap shingle is cut from a single layer web of shingle material. The hip and ridge cap shingle includes an exposed portion, a tapered portion, and a portion in between that will be folded to form a bullnose edge. Two spaced apart perforated fold lines extend transversely across the shingle and two spaced apart transversely extending strips of reinforcing scrim material flank the perforated fold lines. To form a bullnose hip or ridge cap shingle, the shingle is folded first along one of the perforated fold lines and again along the other perforated fold line. This creates an exposed edge portion that is four layers thick and this extreme edge takes on a pleasant rounded bullnose appearance covered with granules. The reinforcing scrim is located at the edge and reinforces the bullnose edge to prevent cracking at the fold. | 06-30-2016 |
