摘要:
A panel attachment system (10) comprising a plurality of covering panels (12), a plurality of retaining members (16) to hold the panels (12), and a plurality of mounting structures (18) to secure the retaining members (16) to a surface (20). The panels (12) are held to the retaining members (16) through the use of protruding locking members (32) formed on the panels (12) which interlock with a slot (48) formed on the retaining member (16). The panels (12) may be coupled to the retaining members (16) without the need for precise alignment, thereby expediting the installation of the surface (20). The retaining members (16) additionally contain a drainage channel (50) to carry water and other debris away from the surface (20).

A roof support with an integral gutter including a roof support, a panel joint cover, and a gutter for a small storage or utility building or shed having a shallow-pitched roof. In particular, the roof support with integral gutter includes a support web, an exposure surface perpendicularly bisecting the support web, and a collector perpendicularly bisecting the support web opposite the exposure surface. The roof support with integral gutter is made by the pultrusion process, which eliminates the need for additional and separate components to provide rigidity and strength to the roof support.
摘要:
A channel-mounted panel structure using interlocking panels is described. Channel members that are generally hat-shaped in cross-section each have oppositely disposed longitudinal supporting members for use in cooperation with mounting slots of adjacent panels. Opposed edges of the panels are formed such that each formed edge includes a mounting slot along the length of the panel and a raised portion that cooperates with the raised portion of an adjoining panel to form a closure with a standing seam. Alternatively, closure may be provided by a cap.

Sheet metal roofing or siding batten system (10) and standing seam system (30) are disclosed. The batten system (10) comprises pan (11), mounting bracket (16) and batten (23) sections. The standing seam system (30) comprises pan (31) and mounting bracket (32) sections. Both mounting bracket designs include a base (13,33), upwardly extending .legs (15,35), and downwardly extending securing legs (16,36) having inwardly extending protrusions (17,37) used to secure lateral borders (28 and 38,39) of the pans to the brackets. The invention ensures positive interlock of the components while allowing for thermal expansion and variations in pan geometry inherent in metal roofing systems.
摘要:
A solar panel for use in a roof mounted array of solar panels, each panel having ridges protruding outwardly and adjacent to the side edges for receiving a standing seam cap between side-adjacent panels. Each solar panel is formed as an integral structure having a photovoltaic module an edge of which is sealed by a base substrate. The base substrate is configured to have lipped top and bottom edges which interlock to form a watertight seal between top-adjacent and bottom-adjacent solar panels. The solar panel array can be mounted on a roof, in place of shingles or the like, to provide environmental protection for the interior of a building.

A roofing/cladding system (2) for mounting to a structure (4) includes elongate pans (6) having central portions (32) and lateral edges (8, 10) with U-shaped pockets (24, 26) defining inwardly opening edge recesses (28, 30). The pan also includes legs (34, 36) extending upwardly from the upper part (38, 40) of the pockets. The upper edges (72, 74) of the legs are plain to facilitate bending the pans to cover concave or convex surfaces. A bracket (12), used to hold down the pans at their opposed edges, has a base (14), first, upwardly extending arms (46, 48) and second, downwardly extending arms (50, 52) and defining regions (58, 60) therebetween. The legs of the pans are inserted into the regions. A batten (18), used to cover the joint, has inwardly extending lips (68, 70) which extend into the edge recesses immediately beneath the lower ends of the second arms so that vertical movement of the pans and batten are resisted almost immediately by the engagement of the lower ends of the second legs with the lips of the batten. Also, the upper edges (72, 74) of the legs are positioned at the junctions of the first and second arms to further limit upward movement of the pan.
摘要:
A roof structure 10 comprises panels 14 and 16 of desired length each having a galvanized steel supportive layer which has side supporting flanges 22 interconnected together to form the roof assembly 10. The mid portion 20 of each panel has a photovoltaic surface made from amorphous semiconductor material which is laminated onto the galvanized steel with a protective plastic transparent polymer coating laminated above the photovoltaic material. The laminated galvanized steel and the photovoltaic layers are rolled into a coil and transported on site where it is unrolled, cut to size having the flanges formed to construct the rigid panels and having the panels assembled together via clips 26 and weather-proof battens 32. The photovoltaic surfaces are connected together via electrical conduit 34 coupled through couplings 88 under the panels and between the frame members 30.
摘要:
A process and structure of a joint for connecting a first panel and a second panel of a floating roof. Each panel being including an extrusion on an edge of said panel. The extrusions being generally U-shaped and each extrusion having two spaced ribs. The clamping bars, each clamping bar having two spaced slots that receive a said rib on each of the panels. The ribs being received in two spaced slots and the bars being clamped together. Before inserting the ribs in the slots a thin uniform layer of an elastomeric material is dispensed in the grooves and struck off to a uniform thickness and cured before inserting the bar into position on said extrusions.
摘要:
A method for installing a board-like block of insulating material in an insulated standing seam roof panel assembly is described, together with a clip which facilitates the installation. The board-like block is installed for the purpose of improving the heat insulating characteristics of the roof in those regions where the primary blanket of insulating material is compressed along the underlying purlins.
摘要:
In a roof or wall structure comprising ablong plates having lateral edge portions in the form of partially open cylindrical flanges and in which a flange of one plate is snap locked over a flange of an adjacent plate there is provided rigid beams having at each lateral edge a flange which flanges are snap locked to cylindrical flanges of adjacent oblong plates.
