What is claimed is:
1. A waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle comprising a belt-like tape attached to a bottom side of the roofing shingle facing a roof substrate, the belt-like tape having air passage means for reducing a pressure of steam or vapor generated from the roof substrate, the air passage means being adapted to be in communication with the air passage means of an adjacent roofing shingle, whereby said air passage means is eventually in communication with an ambient atmosphere so as to vent said steam or vapor to the atmosphere.
2. The waterproof sheet type of roofing shingle according to claim 1, wherein said air passage means has air passages formed between projections provided on said belt-like tape, and said passages extend in a longitudinal direction of said tape.
3. The waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle according to claim 1, wherein said air passage means has parallel grooves formed in said belt-like tape, and said grooves constitute air passages extending in a longitudinal direction of said tape.
4. The waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle according to claim 1, wherein said bottom side of the roofing shingle is provided with an adhesive layer, to which the belt-like tape is adhered.
5. The waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle according to claim 1, wherein said belt-like tape is positioned to extend in longitudinal and transverse directions of the roofing shingle, and said air passage means continues over a junction of a longitudinal portion of the tape and transverse portion of the tape.
6. The waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle according claim 1, wherein said roofing shingle has an exposed surface portion and an overlap portion with adhesive on which said adjacent roofing shingle is superimposed.
7. The waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle according to claim 4, wherein said exposed surface portion is a coat of sand grains, a synthetic resin sheet or a rubber sheet.
8. The waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle according to claim 7, wherein said exposed surface portion has a rectangular configuration and said overlap portion extends along two sides of the rectangular exposed surface portion to form an L-shaped overlap margin on which said adjacent roofing shingle is superimposed and adhered by said adhesive.
9. The waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle according to claim 1, wherein the roofing shingle is used as a lining sheet attached to the roof substrate, and a roofing material is further attached on the roofing shingle.
10. The waterproof-sheet type of roofing shingle according to claim 1, wherein said air passage means has air passages formed by projections or grooves provided on said belt-like tape, the tape is provided with an extension extending outwardly from an edge of the roofing shingle, and the extension overlaps with the belt-like tape of the adjacent roofing shingle so that the air passage means is allowed to be in communication with the air passage means of the adjacent roofing shingle.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. An input device for a game, comprising sound detecting means that detects external sound; and a discriminating unit that discriminates the magnitude of sound detected by the sound detecting means, wherein when the magnitude detected by the discriminating unit of sound is equal tolarger than a predetermined value, a switching signal is sent to a game machine storing a game program.
2. An input device for a game according to claim 1, wherein a controller that sends a signal to the game machine by wire or radio is provided in a position apart from the game machine, and wherein the sound detecting means, the discriminating unit and a control unit that sends the switching signal to the game machine are provided to the controller.
3. An input device according to claim 1, wherein, in the discriminating unit, plural thresholds are set, wherein the discriminating unit discriminates which threshold the magnitude detected by the discriminating unit of sound exceeds, wherein a different switching signal is sent to a game machine depending upon the exceeded threshold, and wherein the game machine changes the proceedings of a game program according to a type of the switching signal.
4. An input device for a game according to claim 1, wherein display means or sounding means for giving guidance for operation related to game contents according to a game program is provided, and wherein the game machine is operated so that when guidance for operation is given from the display means or the sounding means, the game program is turned to a standby mode for receiving the switching signal and the game program proceeds when the switching signal is received in the standby mode or after predetermined time elapses without receiving the switching signal.
