1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a roofing cover system wherein the exposed tab portions of old asphalt shingles and the like are covered by metal cover panels in a manner interlocking the cover panels to the roofing tabs and securing, with shank type fasteners, the cover panels and free lower corner portions of the old roofing tabs to the underlying roof structure.
2. Description of Related Art
Various different forms of roofing cladding systems heretofore have been provided such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 632,691, 1,039,065, 1,090,531, 1,318,125, 2,038,192, 2,231,008 and 2,450,562. However, these previously known roofing covering systems do not include shingle tab covering panels which interlocking engage with each other as well as the underlying roofing tabs and which may be secured in operative position through the utilization of a pair of shank type fasteners secured downwardly through not the covering panels and the shingles of the tabs being covered but also the free lower corner portions of shingle tabs in the next above course of shingles.
