Abstract:
1. A roll of roofing material with an anti-roll device for preventing rolling of the roll of roofing material off a roof when the roll of roofing material is disposed in a cylindrical roll on and against the surface of a sloped roof, comprising: (a) a generally cylindrical roll comprising a roll of roofing material including an asphalt-impregnated web with particulate material in the form of granules applied thereto; with the roll of roofing material having a substantially hollow core portion at at least one end, and with the generally cylindrical roll having an outer cylindrical surface of a given diametric dimension; (b) the anti-roll device having the following features: (i) the anti-roll device is a means whereby, when the generally cylindrical roll is disposed on a sloped roof with its outer cylindrical surface against the surface of the sloped roof, the anti-roll device will resist rolling of the cylindrical roll off the roof; and (ii) the said means further comprises a transverse member of a transverse dimension greater than the given diametrical dimension of the cylindrical roll, whereby the transverse member protrudes generally outwardly of the cylindrical surface of the roll.
