Definitions
- the present invention is directed to creating decorative manufactured shingles, wherein various decorative effects, such as decorative granule application, slot or other space in between adjacent tabs, shingle cut-off between adjacent shingles, and shingle expansion/contraction, or any of the above functions can be controlled with great precision, by first marking the layer of shingle-forming material, prior to, during or after doing any of the decorative granule application, slot or spacing formation, or cut-off functions, and " then sensing the mark(s) and then controlling with precision the placement of such subsequent functions, in an automatic manner, such that the desired shingle is manufactured with precision. That is, some operations to produce a shingle could already have occurred prior to marking the shingle-forming material to control other, subsequent operations in the manufacture of the shingle.
- the markings can be uniformly spaced apart, to create a predetermined repeatability of features in the shingles, or they can be unevenly spaced apart to provide a predetermined appearance of non-repeatability, as desired, for example by printing or marking on a portion of the moving web or shingle-forming layer, or having a coating or tape applied to the shingle-forming layer with a printer, such as an inkjet printer online, or by any other means.
- the markings can be provided in any of a number of manners, such as by applying a tape to the shingle-forming layer early in its manufacture, by applying a barcode to the shingle-forming layer, directly or via a tape, by applying holes (which include punctures or notches), or any other form of marking as may be desired.
- one such decorative effect is the application of decorative granules in the tab region of the shingle-forming layer. It is another object of this invention to accomplish the above objects wherein the decorative effects include cutting slots or other spaces in the tab region of the shingle- forming layer to form spaced-apart tabs.
- one such decorative effect is controlling the expansion and/or contraction of the shingle- forming layer prior to cutting the shingle-forming layer into separate shingles, by controlling the humidity in the shingle manufacturing environment.
- Such is desirable for dimensional stability of a paper or polymer based or tape applique bearing a marking scheme prior to application to the shingle-forming layer.
- Fig. 1 is a top perspective view of a schematic illustration of the manufacture of shingles by the application of various decorative effects to a shingle-forming layer as it is being conveyed along a longitudinal path, and wherein marks are applied to the shingle- forming layer prior to application of decorative effects thereto, such marks being applied to the shingle-forming layer in the form of a tape that is applied thereto.

- the tabs 954 could be different in color or shading, in whole or in part, as may be desired.
- the marks that are made on a tape may be in the shape of a square or rectangle, and that the tape may be a film or other thin substrate attached or adhered to the shingle-forming layer.

- the shingle-forming layer can be, if desired, of a contrasting color relative to the marks, such as dark in the case of a light mark, or light in the case of a dark mark, or can be metalized or clear in nature, such that dark asphalt showing through a clear tape can give contrast to a lighter colored mark.
- the marks can be applied to either the top or bottom side of a shingle-forming layer, as may be desired, and that the marks can be of various shapes, widths and lengths as may be required by a desired sensor. If the mark is applied to a tape or the like, such tape could also function as a release film, in that release films are commonly used in the roofing industry to be applied against an adhesive strip, in bundling of shingles, to keep adjacent bundled shingles from sticking together, but which will facilitate their separation when installed on a roof.
- the tape could also be light colored in nature when applied over a darker shingle-forming layer, and in instances in which the mark is in the form of perforations in such a tape, the darker color showing through the tape could be the mark that is detectable by a sensor. It will also be apparent that in accordance with this invention, shingles having no tabs may be enhanced by having in their tab regions which comprise the lower portion of the shingle as it is installed on a roof, different decorative presentations adjacent each other, precisely applied in accordance with the features of the present invention, yet wherein no slots or spaces are formed in the tab regions and consequently no distinct tabs as such are presented.
