Abstract

A support system for conveniently staging and accessing roofing materials above and across each side of a roof, said system comprising a pair of longitudinally-extending base members, the base members each having a generally triangular-shaped radial cross section; and means for joining the base members to each other.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A support system for conveniently staging and accessing roofing materials above and across each side of a gabled roof, said system comprising:
 a pair of longitudinally-extending base members, the base members each having a generally triangular-shaped radial cross section; and   means for joining the base members to each other.   
   
   
       2 . The support system of  claim 1 , wherein the means for joining the base members comprises a plurality of straps, each strap surrounding both of the base members. 
   
   
       3 . The support system of  claim 1 , wherein the means for joining the base members comprises a sheathing. 
   
   
       4 . The support system of  claim 2 , wherein the sheathing surrounds the base members on three sides. 
   
   
       5 . The support system of  claim 2 , wherein the sheating is an elastomeric netting having a plurality of holes therethrough. 
   
   
       6 . The support system of  claim 2 , wherein the base members are spaced apart. 
   
   
       7 . The support system of  claim 1 , wherein the base members comprise a lightweight material. 
   
   
       8 . The support system of  claim 1 , wherein said base members have a hinged or flexible centerline. 
   
   
       9 . The support system of  claim 1 , wherein said means for joining the base members is skid- and tear-resistant. 
   
   
       10 . The support system of  claim 1 , wherein said means for joining the base members is a resilient, rollable material. 
   
   
       11 . The support system of  claim 1 , wherein said means for joining the base members is removably attached to the base members. 
   
   
       12 . The support system of  claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the base members is attached to said lower surface of said means for joining the base members. 
   
   
       13 . The support system of  claim 11 , wherein said system has cushioning, shock absorptive and sound insulative capabilities. 
   
   
       14 . A method of stacking roofing shingle bundles on a roof having a peak, comprising:
 placing a first shingle support system about the peak of the roof, the first shingle support system comprising two longitudinally-extending base members that, when placed on opposite sides of the peak of the roof, form a substantially horizontal shingle support surface;   stacking at least one bundle of shingles on the first shingle support system.   
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the base members are of a generally triangular radial cross-section. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the shingle support system further comprises a sheathing surrounding at least the top and bottom of each base member and connecting the two base members together. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the sheathing is an elastomeric netting. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising the steps of:
 placing a second shingle support system about the peak of the roof adjacent to the first shingle support system, the second shingle support system comprising two longitudinally-extending base members that, when placed on opposite sides of the peak of the roof, form a substantially horizontal shingle support surface; and   stacking at least one bundle of shingles on the second shingle support system.   
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the base members are spaced apart, and the method further comprises attaching the shingle support system to the roof with at least one fastener extending through sheathing located in the space between the base members. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the method further comprises:
 stacking a plurality of shingle bundle layers on the first shingle support system.
