Abstract
A laminated roofing shingle includes an overlay sheet, an underlay sheet secured to the overlay sheet to define a two-layer portion of the shingle, and a tape member secured on a front surface of the headlap portion of the overlay sheet by an asphalt coating of the overlay sheet, with the tape member being positioned such that at least a portion of the tape member is adhered to a single layer portion of the shingle. The shingle further includes a granular material secured to the front surface of the headlap portion of the overlay sheet, with no granular material adhered to the tape member, such that a portion of the overlay sheet carrying the tape member has a smaller thickness than a portion of the overlay sheet carrying the granular material.
