- a spring clip member for providing a spring force having a generally vertical portion for attaching to said outer face, said vertical portion having a lower edge and having an inwardly directed face for confronting said outer face;
- said spring clip being bent along a first line to integrally define a sloping portion extending generally upwardly and inwardly from said vertical portion;
- a fascia member carried on said spring clip member, said fascia member having a lower channel portion for receiving said lower edge and having a generally concave upper portion for embracing said sloping portion;
- a roofing material at least a portion thereof being supported directly on said sloping portion and being gripped by said spring force between said sloping portion and said concave portion;
- wherein at least said sloping portion is resiliently deflectable in response to manually applied forces to permit assembly and disassembly of said lower edge
- within said lower channel portion.
- 2. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said roofing material has a generally horizontal portion and wherein said spring clip member has a second generally vertical portion coplanar with said attaching portion and disposed above said horizontal portion of said roofing material.
- 3. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said roofing material has a generally horizontal portion and wherein said first line about which said spring clip is bent lies substantially above said horizontal portion of said roofing material.
- 4. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said roofing material has a generally horizontal portion and wherein said line along which said spring clip is bent lies substantially in the same plane as said horizontal portion of said roofing material.
- 5. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said fascia member includes a generally downwardly extending leg formed on the inwardly directed portion of said concave upper portion.
- 6. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 further comprising downwardly extending leg formed on said generally concave upper portion and terminating in a radius for engaging said roofing material.
- 7. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said roofing material has a generally horizontal portion and wherein said fascia member has a downwardly extending member for contacting said generally horizontal portion of said roofing material.
- 8. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said generally concave upper portion of said fascia member has an upwardly and inwardly inclined portion which generally conforms to said sloping portion of said spring clip member.
- 9. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said sloping portion of said spring clip member terminates at its uppermost end in a generally downwardly directed flange.
- 10. The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said fascia member has an upwardly extending portion extending generally parallel to said vertical portion of said spring clip member for holding a portion of said roofing material in face-to-face relationship with said vertical portion of said spring clip member.
