## Abstract

A method of making a laminated shingle is provided. The method includes coating a shingle mat with roofing asphalt to make an asphalt-coated sheet, adhering a reinforcement member to a portion of the asphalt-coated sheet, covering the asphalt-coated sheet, and optionally covering the reinforcement member, with granules to make a granule-covered sheet, dividing the granule-covered sheet into an overlay sheet and an underlay sheet, wherein the overlay sheet has a tab portion normally exposed on a roof and a headlap portion normally covered-up on a roof, the headlap portion having a lower zone adjacent the tab portion and an upper zone adjacent the lower zone, and wherein the reinforcement member is adhered to the lower zone of the headlap portion and laminating the overlay sheet and the underlay sheet to make the laminated shingle.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

### Claim 35 (depends on 32)

The roofing shingle of claim 32 wherein the reinforcement member is on a top side of the shingle.

### Claim 36 (depends on 32)

The roofing shingle of claim 32 further comprising a second reinforcement member secured to the headlap portion spaced apart from the reinforcement member secured on the granules.

### Claim 37 (depends on 32)

The roofing shingle of claim 32 wherein the reinforcement member is an elongated strip that extends from one lateral edge of the shingle to another lateral edge of the shingle.

### Claim 38

A roofing shingle comprising:
an overlay sheet including a headlap portion and a tab portion;
an underlay sheet secured to the overlay sheet; and
a first reinforcement member secured to the headlap portion,
a second reinforcement member spaced apart from the first reinforcement member secured to the headlap portion;
wherein the first and second reinforcement members and portions of the headlap portion to which the reinforcement member is secured improve nail pull-through.

### Claim 39 (depends on 38)

The roofing shingle of claim 38 wherein the first and second reinforcement members are each formed of a woven material.

### Claim 40 (depends on 38)

The roofing shingle of claim 38 wherein at least one of the reinforcement members are on an underside of the shingle.

### Claim 41 (depends on 38)

The roofing shingle of claim 38 wherein at least one of the reinforcement members are on a top side of the shingle.

### Claim 42 (depends on 38)

The roofing shingle of claim 38 wherein at least one of the reinforcement members is inside asphalt of the overlay sheet.

### Claim 43 (depends on 38)

The roofing shingle of claim 38 wherein at least one of the reinforcement members are disposed on top of granules on a top side of the shingle.

### Claim 44 (depends on 38)

The roofing shingle of claim 38 wherein the reinforcement member is an elongated strip that extends from one lateral edge of the shingle to another lateral edge of the shingle.
