Abstract
Abstract An idler pulley is positioned at one end of a roof framework and a driven pulley at the opposite end of the roof framework. A continuous loop of band material is formed around both pulleys, and the free end of a supply of band material from a coil of band material on the ground is fastened to the continuous loop of band material adjacent the idler pulley and the driven pulley is operated to pull a length of the band material from the ground across the roof. The length of band material thus pulled across the roof is disconnected from the loop, cut from its supply, and attached to the roof framework parallel to the roof purlins to support sheet insulation to be installed in the roof structure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
In a method of installing roof bands in a roof structure, the steps of connecting the leading end of band material from a supply to a carrier on one side of the roof, moving the leading end of the band material with the carrier to the other side of the roof thereby extending a length of band material from the supply across the roof, creating a second connection of the band material to the carrier at the one side of the roof, disconnecting the leading end of the band material from the carrier, severing the band material ahead of its second connection to the carrier and fixing the ends of the severed length to the roof structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
In a method of installing roof bands in a roof structure, the steps of connecting the leading end of band material from a supply to a carrier on one side of the roof, moving the leading end of the band material with the carrier to the other side of the roof thereby extending a length of band material from the supply across the roof, creating a second connection of the band material to the carrier at the one side of the roof, disconnecting the leading end of the band material from the carrier, severing the band material ahead of its second connection to the carrier and fixing the ends of the severed length to the roof structure.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of installing lengths of band material on a structure, including the steps of making a loop of the band material, extending the loop across the structure about a pair of spaced pulleys, fixing the free end of the band material from a supply of band material to the loop at a first end of the structure adjacent the supply of band material, and moving the loop about its pulleys to pull the leading end of band material from its supply across the structure to the second end of the structure to extend a length of band material across the structure removing the length of band material from the supply and fixing the length to the structure.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
118 words
A method of installing lengths of band material on a structure, including the steps of making a loop of the band material, extending the loop across the structure about a pair of spaced pulleys, fixing the free end of the band material from a supply of band material to the loop at a first end of the structure adjacent the supply of band material, and moving the loop about its pulleys to pull the leading end of band material from its supply across the structure to the second end of the structure to extend a length of band material across the structure removing the length of band material from the supply and fixing the length to the structure.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
106 words
The method of claim 2 and wherein the step of removing the length of band material includes the steps of severing the leading end portion of the length of band material extending across the structure from the loop adjacent the second end of the structure, fixing the band material to the loop adjacent the first end of the structure, and severing the trailing end portion of the length of band material extending across the structure from the loop adjacent the first end of the structure ahead of the connection of the band material to the loop to free the length of band material from the loop.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
72 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the step of fixing the severed length of band material includes the steps of connecting the ends of the length of band material extending across the structure to the structure substantially immediately after the step of severing the trailing end portion of the length of band material from the loop adjacent the first end of the structure, and applying tension in the length of band material.
