A variety of dispensing manifolds which are removable connectable to a single deformable container having a single exit portion are disclosed. The dispensing manifolds of the present disclosure provide a single deformable container having a single exit with one or more outlets from which a fluid can be controllably dispensed. The present disclosure also provides a single force generation mechanism, a deformable container holding a fluid or substance, and dispensing mechanisms all on one machine, i.e., a carrier; a system that may also include a pressurized air source that assists a flow of a fluid; and a system that allows for a continuous flow a substance. The systems of the present disclosure provide a deformable container and a method of dispensing wherein, during dispensing, an actuation member is continuously free of contact with the fluid or substance within the container and the actuation member only contacts the exterior surface of the deformable container.

A combined roof spraying and seaming assembly that is easy, safe, and efficient to operate. The assembly is able to provide consistent coating thickness to the surface of a roof, while being able to fully coat all surfaces on the roof. The assembly can readily seam various types of roof surface conditions, such as those having channeled, corrugated, and/or ribbed surfaces.

A coating applicator that applies a coating or liquid to a variety of different substrates having different contoured surfaces is disclosed. A coating applicator of the present disclosure is able to reach, contact, and cover the entirety of a contoured substrate. In this manner, the coating applicator is able to transfer a coating to the entirety of the contoured substrate. Additionally, fluid application systems of the present disclosure include systems for advantageously providing a fluid to a fluid applicator.

A bucket holder for use on pitched roofs and for holding a bucket in an upright, vertical disposition includes a planar base which is adapted to rest on the surface of the roof, a generally cylindrically-shaped main canister for holding the bucket, the main canister being mounted on the base, and a top ring mounted on the main canister. The main canister has a multi-faceted, bucket supporting inner wall formed of a plurality of segments having different relative heights and angles. When a bucket is placed in the main canister of the bucket holder in a desired position, the bottom of the bucket rests on one or more of the segments such that the bucket is held in an upright, vertical disposition when the bucket holder is used on a pitched roof.

A roofing material applicator features a frame displaceable over a roof deck, a holding tank supported on a frame to contain a liquid roofing substance, an endless flexible belt, and a set of rotatable belt rollers around which the belt is entrained. The belt rollers include a liquid-application roller positioned for rolling movement atop the roof deck. A circuituous path around of the belt around the belt rollers passes through the holding tank so that the liquid roofing substance collects onto the belt. From the tank, the belt is routed rearwardly under liquid-application roller from a front leading side thereof. Rolling movement of the liquid-application roller during travel over the roof lays a swath of the liquid substance from the underside of the belt onto the roof deck. Sheet rollers may be included to lay a sheet of membrane or reinforcement fabric over the applied liquid swath.

A manifold that allows for increased flow performance, at a reduced pressure, and a flow path that is easily maintained, and fluid dispensing systems that allow for the precise, controlled spacing of beads of multiple component adhesives, and other liquids, and allow for multiple beads to be dispensed onto a substrate simultaneously are disclosed. A control portion for a manifold that solves the disadvantages relating to scaling an open channel and a carrier that provides a mechanism for applying an adhesive and/or a two-part adhesive easier are disclosed.

A system for removing shingles on a roof is provided. One embodiment includes a navigational apparatus for traversing the roof and a roof shingle removal apparatus attached to the navigational apparatus for removing the shingles. The improved removal apparatus pries existing shingles from the roof, and then stores the shingles in a debris bin before emptying the shingles in a precise location.
