Abstract

A method and apparatus for applying insulation material to the sidewalls and endwalls of a building structure. The apparatus is disposed parallel and adjacent to the top of the wall. A roll of insulating material is mounted on the apparatus and fed downward along the side of the building wall and parallel thereto. The end of the insulating material is attached to the bottom of the wall and the insulating material is tightened and held in place by a tension means which is part of the apparatus. The insulating material is then attached to the top of the wall and cut free from the remaining insulating material on the roll. The apparatus is then moved along the top of the wall to a position where the insulating material can be fed downward adjacent to the attached insulating material. The method is then repeated.

An apparatus mounted on the top of a building structure for applying insulation to a wall of the structure, the apparatus comprising:

an angular shaped frame having support means mounted thereron for rotatably supporting a roll of insulating material parallel to the wall, said frame having a front portion and a rear portion, the front portion of said frame disposed parallel and adjacent the top of the wall, the front portion of said frame adjustably mounted to the rear portion of said frame so that the width of said frame can be adjusted to the width between spaced apart support members on the top of the building structure;
guide means mounted on the front portion and rear portion of said frame, said guide means disposed on the spaced apart support members of the top of the building structure;
and
tension means rotatably mounted on the front portion of said frame for receiving one end of the insulating material therethrough and tightening the insulating material therearound, and holding the insulating material in tension against the wall of the structure when one end of the insulating material is secured to the wall of the structure.
