Claims
- 1. A roof component assembly for sealingly anchoring a foam-type roofing material on a building roof structure, said assembly comprising:
- a fixed anchoring member extending over a portion of said roof structure and fixed thereto, said fixed anchoring member having an open channel formed therein;
- a movable retainer member separate from said fixed and anchoring member but having a retainer portion thereof received in said channel formed in said anchoring member, said channel being open a sufficient amount so that said retainer portion is moveable therein relative to said fixed anchoring member; and
- securing means for securing said foam-type roofing material to said retainer member but not to said fixed anchoring member, said moveable retainer member thus allowing said foam-type roofing material to move therewith relative to said fixed anchoring member.
- 2. An assembly according to claim 1, wherein said anchoring member further includes a fascia thereon.
- 3. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein said fascia is integral with said anchoring member.
- 4. An assembly according to claim 1, wherein the foam-type roofing material is a flowable material that has been allowed to cure and harden in place on the building structure.
- 5. An assembly according to claim 4, wherein said assembly includes holding means for preventing said retainer member from pulling away from said anchoring member during the application of the foam-type roofing material.
- 6. An assembly according to claim 5, wherein said holding means includes a fastener extending through said retainer member and said anchoring member and into the building structure.
- 7. An assembly according to claim 5, wherein said holding means includes a tab protruding from said anchoring member and extending through an opening in said retainer member.
- 8. A roof component assembly for sealingly anchoring a foam-type roofing material on a building roof structure, said assembly comprising:
- an anchoring member extending over a portion of said roof structure and having a channel formed therein;
- a retainer member having a portion thereof received in said channel and moveable therein relative to said anchoring member; and
- securing means for securing said foam-type roofing material to said retainer member, said retainer member allowing said foam-type roofing material to move therewith, said securing means including openings formed in a retainer portion of said retainer member, said retainer portion being embedded in the foam-type roofing material with part of the foam-type roofing material extending through said openings to interlockingly engage said retainer portion.
- 9. An assembly according to claim 8, wherein said anchoring member includes an anchoring flange portion overlying a portion of said roof structure, an inclined anchoring portion sloping upwardly and outwardly from said anchoring flange portion, at least one generally inner vertical anchoring portion extending along a vertical portion of the building structure, and an outer vertical anchoring portion spaced outwardly from said inner vertical anchoring portion in order to form said channel therebetween.
- 10. An assembly according to claim 9, wherein said retainer member includes a horizontal retainer portion extending over at least a part of said anchoring member and a vertical retainer portion extending into said channel and moveable therein.
- 11. An assembly according to claim 10, wherein said vertical retainer portion is moveable both vertically and horizontally in said channel.
- 12. An assembly according to claim 10, wherein said anchoring member includes a discontinuity thereon, said vertical retainer portion including a barb portion thereon, said barb portion being resilient in order to allow said vertical retainer portion to be snapped into said channel and being engageable with said discontinuity for preventing said vertical retainer portion from being removed from within said channel while still allowing for said movement within said channel.
- 13. An assembly according to claim 12, wherein said vertical retainer portion is moveable both vertically and horizontally in said channel.
- 14. An assembly according to claim 13, wherein said fascia is integral with said anchoring member.
- 15. An assembly according to claim 14, wherein said securing means includes openings formed in a retainer portion of said retainer member, said retainer portion being embedded in the foam-type roofing material with part of the foam-type roofing material extending through said openings to interlockingly engage said retainer portion.
- 16. An assembly according to claim 12, wherein said discontinuity includes a barb portion.
- 17. An assembly according to claim 12, wherein said anchoring member further includes a fascia thereon.
- 18. A roof component assembly for sealingly anchoring a foam-type roofing material on a building roof structure, said assembly comprising:
- an anchoring member having an anchoring flange extending over a portion of said roof structure and a pair of generally parallel anchoring portions spaced apart from one another to form an anchoring channel therebetween;
- a retainer member having a first retainer portion and a second retainer portion, said first retainer portion having a number of openings therethrough, said second retainer portion being received in said channel and moveable therein relative to said anchoring member; and
- said first retainer portion being embedded within the foam-type roofing material in order to allow the foam-type roofing material to move therewith, the foam-type roofing material extending through said openings in said first retainer portion.
- 19. An assembly according to claim 18, wherein said second retainer portion is moveable both vertically and horizontally in said channel.
- 20. An assembly according to claim 18, wherein said one of said anchoring portions of said anchoring member includes a stepped portion thereon, said second retainer portion including a barb portion thereon, said barb portion being resilient in order to allow said second retainer portion to be snapped into said channel and being interferringly engageable with said stepped portion for preventing said second retainer portion from being removed from within said channel while still allowing said second retainer portion to be moveable within said channel.
- 21. An assembly according to claim 20, wherein said anchoring member further includes a fascia thereon.
- 22. An assembly according to claim 21, wherein said fascia includes a number of drainage openings therethrough.
- 23. An assembly according to claim 22, wherein said fascia is integral with an outermost one of said anchoring portions.
- 24. An assembly according to claim 21, wherein the foam-type roofing material is a flowable material that has been allowed to cure and harden in place on the building structure.
- 25. An assembly according to claim 24, wherein said assembly includes holding means for preventing said retainer member from pulling away from said anchoring member during the application of the foam-type roofing material.
- 26. An assembly according to claim 25, wherein said holding means includes a fastener extending through said retainer member and said anchoring member and into the building structure.
- 27. An assembly according to claim 25, wherein said holding means includes a tab protruding from said anchoring member and extending through one of said openings in said first retainer portion.
- 28. An assembly according to claim 27, wherein said tab portion has a hooked outer end thereon.
- 29. An assembly according to claim 18, wherein said first retainer member includes an inclined portion thereon, said inclined portion also being embedded within the foam-type roofing material.
