A roof, that is constituted by a number of contiguous three-dimensional roof pans, has fascia-supporting clips adjacent one side thereof; and has a fascia releasably held by those clips. That fascia also extends along the ends of the roof. The opposite side of the roof is supported by a flashing-like bracket; and that bracket has a shelf-like bottom which extends under, and which is secured to, the roof pans to enable the weight of that opposite side to tend to draw that bracket into intimate en...

A roof includes a plurality of rafters each having at its upper end a connection and having at its lower end a fixing section, and a rod for retaining the rafters at predetermined intervals. The roof further includes a reinforcement material provided between the rafters, and an eaves trough extending along the periphery of the lower edge of the sheathing surface laid on the rafters. Accordingly, the labor hours required for, e.g., the positional change of the ridgepole or rafters when remodeling...

A roof mounted solar collector structure has cross-pieces arranged at regular intervals parallel to the eaves line on overlying roof members which enclose a part of the roof structure. Connecting members are mounted orthogonally on the cross-pieces at regular intervals. Solar energy collection members are laid between the connecting members. Support members are mounted at peripheral edges of an enclosed part of the roof to cover upper side and outside surfaces of the crosspieces. A lower end of ...

A roof for auditoriums, stadiums, et cetera, with a circular ground plan or a ground plan similar to a circle, which has a frustum or a trough-shaped roof ring with roof sheeting inclined downwards and inwards and which consists of an outside supported pressure ring and an inner pull ring and of pull elements connecting the pressure and pull rings.

A roof structure suitable for use with solar energy collection elements has a wide lower width-adjusting section defined at a lateral lower portion of each of a number of connecting members disposed at predetermined intervals, while a wide intermediate width-adjusting section is defined at an intermediate portion of the side of the connecting member. The lower portion of the side edge of a lighting frame serving as a roofing member is inserted into the intermediate width-adjusting section, and t...

The structure of the present invention simplifies a roofing procedure at the ridge of a roof, ensures easy detachment and relocation, and enables ventilation of the air via the ridge. Each roof plate 10 has a third projection board 43 and a second projection board 42 protruded from the upper face of a roof plate member 12. The roof plates 10 fixed to roof rafters N are covered with a ridge capping 120 at the ridge of the roof. The ridge capping 120 has skirt elements 123 and rear projection plat...

A roof component adapted to be secured to a vehicle body which includes a pair of roof rails secured to a roof module such that the roof component forms a single piece component. The roof module, in one embodiment, includes a openings for receiving therethrough each outermost end of each roof rail. The outermost ends are secured to separate body pillars of the vehicle body. The roof rail is secured by welding, adhesives or by threaded fasteners to the roof module. The roof component thus forms a...

A vehicle roof, comprising an opening roof panel, which can be moved from a first, closed roof position into a second, fully opened roof position, the roof panel being held essentially parallel to the rest of the vehicle roof and at a distance from the rest of the vehicle roof in the second roof position; a lateral guide, the roof panel being guided at least during a part of an opening movement on the guide; a third, partially opened roof position in which the roof panel is held in a position th...

A roof bow for a vehicle, comprising a vertical face, a curved top flange extending in a first direction, and a straight bottom flange extending in the first direction. Preferably, the roof bow is monolithic with a plurality of apertures in the vertical face that provide clearance for ductwork, wiring, etc. Additionally, the roof bow may comprise horizontally and vertically-extending indented embossments, and rolled embossments about the apertures. Side flanges may additionally extend in the fir...

A roof anchor including a pair of blocks positioned side-by-side. The blocks have adjacent, inner surfaces with notches cut therefrom for receiving a standing seam of a metal roof. The blocks also have outer surfaces remote from the inner surfaces. A bracket is positioned over the pair of blocks. The bracket includes a base portion having a pair of legs, each being positioned adjacent a respective one of the outer surfaces of the blocks, and a crosspiece, positioned adjacent the tops of the bloc...
