Roof shingle remover

A hand held Roof Shingle Remover used for lifting, loosening and removing existing roofing shingles from roof structures comprising:

• (a) a relatively long rigid handle having a straight longitudinal axis;
• (b) said handle extends from one free end downward to an elbow on a lower end of said handle;
• (c) a plurality of members of substantially equal length attached at one end immediately above said elbow;
• (d) said members are disposed in a straight longitudinal axis in relation to each other;
• (e) said members are disposed in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said handle;
• (f) said members are of a length to cover at least two boards of skip sheeting boards that wood shingles are commonly nailed to;
• (g) an elongated tongue attached at one end to said elbow;
• (h) said elbow disposes said elongated tongue at a predetermined angle to longitudinal axis of said handle;
• and
• (i) said elongated tongue is disposed in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said plurality of members;
• whereby
• (j) said elongated tongue utilizes one free end as a means to extend under shingles by way of gaps in skip sheeting boards that wood shingles are commonly nailed to;
• and
• (k) said plurality of members rest on top of and span at least 2 (two) boards of skip sheeting boards to act as a fulcrum means providing leverage to said elongated tongue to lift shingles from roof when downward pressure is applied to said handle.
