Roof shingle removing device and method

A dual shock absorbing system for a roof shingle removing device comprising:

• a tool handle being connected to a stripping element;
• the tool handle having a proximal tool handle end oppositely disposed to a distal tool handle end;
• a shock absorbing system connecting the tool handle and the stripping element;
• the shock absorbing system having a proximal shock end and a distal shock end;
• the shock absorbing system including a horizontal top section with a proximal section end and a distal section end;
• the proximal section end being attached to the distal ends of the tool handle;
• the distal section end being attached to a first parallel arm and a second parallel arm;
• the first parallel arm and the second parallel arm being parallel to the length of the tool handle;
• the first parallel arm and the second parallel arm both having a distal end and a proximal end;
• the first parallel arm and the second parallel arm both having a spring loaded mechanism;
• the spring loaded mechanism having an inner sleeve and a flexible outer sleeve;
• the flexible outer sleeve and the inner sleeve forming an upper section of the first parallel arm and the second parallel arm;
• the inner sleeve having a distal inner sleeve end oppositely disposed from a proximal inner sleeve end;
• the flexible outer sleeve having a distal outer end and a proximal outer end;
• the distal inner sleeve connecting to a piston;
• the piston connecting to a coil spring;
• the shock absorbing system having a ventral shock side oppositely disposed from a distal shock side;
• a shingle guard being attached to the ventral shock side and the distal shock side;
• the first parallel arm and the second parallel arm each having a distal parallel end oppositely disposed from a ventral parallel end;
• the distal end of the first parallel arm and the second parallel arm being attached to the stripping element;
• and
• the stripping element consisting of a first outer tine, a second outer tine, a first inner tine and a second inner tine.

A shock absorbing roof shingle removing device for removing shingles and fasteners from a roof deck comprising:

• a handle assembly connected to a stripping element;
• the handle assembly having a proximal handle end oppositely disposed to a distal handle end;
• a shock absorbing assembly connecting the handle assembly and the stripping element;
• the stripping element including a fork, a shovel, a hoe, a blade, or a cutting device;
• the shock absorbing assembly providing a compressed length and a relaxed length to assist a roofer;
• a twist assembly for the roof shingle removing device cooperating with the shock absorbing assembly to assist the roofer;
• the shock absorbing assembly including a compression spring cylinder, a compression spring, and a fastening means;
• the compression spring cylinder receiving the compression spring therein;
• the fastening means securing the compression spring within the compression spring cylinder;
• the compression spring cylinder having the stripping element secured at a first end thereof;
• the compression spring cylinder having the handle assembly secured at or in a second end thereof;
• and
• the first end being oppositely disposed from the second end.
