A method for applying a roofing membrane may include unrolling an adhesive material onto a roofing board to adhere a bottom surface of the adhesive material to the roofing board. The method may include removing a release liner from the adhesive material to expose a top surface of the adhesive material. The method may include applying a roofing membrane to the exposed top surface of the adhesive material to adhere the roofing membrane to the roofing board.

A roofing tool assembly for rolling and transporting a roll of roofing paper includes a handle that has a first portion which slidably engages a second portion such that the handle has a telescopically adjustable length. A grip is coupled around the handle to enhance gripping the handle. A tube is coupled to the handle and the tube is curved to conform to the curvature of a roll of roofing paper. In this way the roll of roofing paper can be rolled without requiring the user to stand on the roll of roofing paper. A skid plate is coupled to the tube such that the skid plate can be dragged along a support surface for transporting the roll of roofing paper.

A fastener installation tool is provided for installing threaded fasteners through a washer plate having a center hole used in connection with roofing membrane installation. The installation tool is configured to receive different types of washer plates, and is easily dis-assembleable in the field without the need for tools in order to easily and simply clear jams.

A locomotive (10) for spreading a waterproof coil in a hot melt manner. The locomotive (10) for spreading a waterproof coil in a hot melt manner comprises: a locomotive frame (11), provided with a coil support (12); and wheel devices, a spreading device, a combustion and heating device and a coil compaction device that are disposed on the locomotive frame (11). The combustion and heating device comprises a combustion chamber (6) and a mixing chamber (2). The mixing chamber (2) is provided with a fuel gas inlet end (5), an air inlet end (28), and an outlet end (29). The outlet end (29) is connected to the combustion chamber (6). Multiple gas discharge holes (7) are formed in one side surface of the combustion chamber (6) in an axial direction. The locomotive (10) for spreading a waterproof coil in a hot melt manner improves the construction efficiency, reduces human power costs and reduces consumption of fuel gas.

This invention provides fall protection systems comprising a suspension fabric, supported by a grid-work of longitudinal and lateral bands, in metal building construction. The fall protection system uses the combination of relatively softer banding, a safety band spaced a particular distance from each rafter, and safety clips to attach the safety bands to the intermediate purlins, thus to distribute the force of impact of a load, falling close to a rafter, to better absorb and dissipate the force of the impact, including distributing the impact of the falling load over a greater area of the roof structure. The invention further provides methods of making elements of such systems, methods of installing elements of such systems, and buildings embodying such systems.

A hand tool has a plurality of similarly or identically shaped rollers aligned end-to-end along an axle such that the outer surface of each respective roller moves about an axis define by the axle. The hand tool may be a roofing roller tool that enables an impermeable vapor membrane or sheet to be applied to a vertical wall extending upwardly from an outer perimeter of a roof. The tool may be manipulated by an elongated pole handle coupled to a roller head or roller head frame.
