Patent number: 7316099Abstract: The present invention is a spaced sheathing roofing system and method in which roof cladding is placed onto batten strips positioned on roof rafters. The roof cladding is attached using an adhesive. The attachment component is preferably a polymer adhesive, more preferably a polyurethane, for adhering the roof cladding. The adhesive is preferably sprayed onto the lower surface of the placed roof cladding while also being sprayed onto the batten strips and the supporting truss rafters. The sprayed adhesive bonds the adjacent roof cladding together and also bonds the roof cladding to the batten strips to form a monolithic structure. In addition, the sprayed layer of adhesive forms an insulative layer while also forming a waterproof barrier.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2002Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Polyfoam Products, Inc.Inventors: David H.

Publication number: 20020074085Abstract: A method is provided for joining two pieces of elastomeric fabric together without the need for sewing or stitching the seam. This is accomplished by cutting a first piece of elastomeric fabric to form a first edge having a predetermined first geometric pattern. Similarly, a second piece of elastomeric fabric is cut to form a second edge having a predetermined second geometric pattern which corresponds with the first geometric pattern. The lateral surfaces of the geometrically patterned first and second edges then have a bonding agent applied prior to mating the patterned edges to one another to create an intersecting seam between the first and second pieces of the elastomeric fabric. The intersecting seam is immobilized to allow the bonding agent to set. Tape may be placed on one or both sides of the seam for additional strengthening.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2002Publication date: June 20, 2002Applicant: Hot House Holdings, Ltd.Inventor: Richard Huber
