Abstract
A trolley carrying a roll of vapor retarder fabric is supporting on building roof purlins and moved along the purlins as the fabric is dispensed onto the purlins under longitudinal tension. Fabric tension is maintained to inhibit sagging thereof between the purlins by applying one braking force to the fabric roll and another braking force between the trolley and the purlins. The trolley has a rectangular support frame with opposite sides and front and rear ends. Rotatable rollers adjacent the rear end movably support the frame on the purlins, and a friction brake adjacent the front end engages the purlins. A handle attachment adjacent the rollers receives a handle for tilting the frame about the rollers to release the frame brake and push the trolley along the purlins. A frame guide roller extends downwardly from the front end of the frame for engaging a side of a purlin to prevent skewing of the frame relative to the purlins. Fabric roll supports extend upwardly from the frame sides between the front and rear frame ends for supporting a roll of vapor retarder fabric.
