Abstract:

A material holder designed to aid a rooftop worker, such as a roofing installer, in more safely and effectively placing and storing materials, such as roofing materials, on a roof. A unitary cut or mold of sponge-like and firm material, such as composite or foam rubber, is designed to roughly mirror the angle of a roof's rise and run, or “pitch”. The unitary material is placed atop the roof surface, whereupon an amount of roofing material, such as a bundle of asphalt shingles, may be stacked. The unitary material need not be otherwise fastened to the roof surface because the exceptional quotient of friction achieved by contact of the unitary material with the roof under heavy loads is sufficient to prevent slippage.
