Apparatus for Protecting Shingles on a Roof from Inclement Weather Elements

Abstract

An apparatus includes a plurality of pieces which are able to be removably attached to a plurality of shingles located on an edge of the roof and a protective covering. The apparatus protects the plurality of shingles located on the edge of the roof from the inclement weather elements and prevents the edges of a roof from leaking and shingles from blowing away by providing a wind shield.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for protecting shingles on a roof from inclement weather elements, said apparatus comprising:
 a plurality of pieces configured to be removably attached to a plurality of shingles located on an edge of said roof;   a protective covering, said protective covering housing said plurality of pieces and having
 at least four flat surfaces, and wherein a first of said at least four flat surfaces of said protective covering is configured to be removably attachable to a fascia of a building, and wherein a second of said at least four flat surfaces of said protective covering is configured to be removably attached to said plurality of shingles located on said edge of said roof; and 
   wherein said apparatus is configured to protect said plurality of shingles located on said edge of said roof from said inclement weather elements.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each of said plurality of pieces is made of a material selected from the group consisting of plastic, roofing felt, rubber, galvanized steel, aluminum, and copper. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of pieces is removably attached to said plurality of shingles by at least one nail-fastener. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each of said plurality of pieces has an irregular shape. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said each of said plurality of pieces has at least three sides. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein said at least three sides includes a bottom side, a substantially vertical side, and a top side. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said bottom side of said each of said plurality of pieces is removably attached to a top-surface of said each of said plurality of shingles. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said substantially vertical side of said each of said plurality of pieces connects said bottom side of said each of said plurality of pieces to said top side of said each of said plurality of pieces. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a third of said at least four flat surfaces connects said first of said at least four flat surfaces to said second of said at least four flat surfaces. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein a fourth of said at least four flat surfaces is positioned below said third of said at least four flat surfaces. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said fourth of said at least four flat surfaces is positioned parallel to said third of said at least four flat surfaces. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein a bottom surface of a top side of each of said plurality of pieces rests on a top surface of said fourth of said at least four flat surfaces. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said apparatus is configured to act as a wind shield to said plurality of shingles to prevent damage. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of pieces is removably attached to said plurality of shingles with caulk. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said protective covering is removably attached to said fascia with caulk. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said protective covering is removably attached to said fascia with at least one nail.
