Abstract

A system for adhering a roof board onto a corrugated roof by positioning an adhesive strip dispensing machine over a plurality of parallel top flutes of a corrugated roof and then simultaneously dispensing a plurality of adhesive strips on top of each of the plurality of parallel top flutes of the corrugated roof. The dispensing machine has a plurality of wheels or rollers mounted to a frame and a plurality of adhesive roll dispensers, and the adhesive is dispensed onto the top of top flutes by moving the dispensing machine in a direction parallel to the top flutes.

Claims (23)

1 . A method of adhering a roof board to a corrugated roof, comprising:

positioning an adhesive strip dispensing machine over a plurality of parallel top flutes of a corrugated roof; and then

simultaneously dispensing a plurality of adhesive strips on top of each of the plurality of parallel top flutes of the corrugated roof;

wherein the adhesive strip dispensing machine comprises:

(i) a frame,

(ii) a plurality of wheels or rollers mounted to the frame, and

(iii) a plurality of adhesive roll dispensers mounted to the frame; and further comprising:

placing the wheels or rollers on top of bottom flutes of the corrugated roof, and then

lowering the adhesive roll dispensers such that adhesive rolls contact the top flutes of the corrugated roof when the wheels are positioned on the bottom flutes of the corrugated roof.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

adjusting the spacing between the wheels such that the wheels are positioned on top of bottom flutes of the corrugated roof.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein lowering the adhesive roll dispensers comprises rotating the frame with a pair of handlebars.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

pushing or pulling the handlebars, thereby moving the adhesive strip dispensing machine across the corrugated roof.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

removing a release layer from each of the adhesive strips; and then

placing a roof board on top of the adhesive strips, thereby securing the roof board to the corrugated roof.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the roof board is an insulation board or an underlayment.

7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

positioning the adhesive strip dispensing machine over the roof board; and then

simultaneously dispensing a plurality of adhesive strips on top of the roof board.

8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
