Abstract
This disclosure relates to a roof edge assembly for use in forming a raised edge or gravel stop on a roof. The disclosure also relates to a framing structure useful for framing windows and doors; and to a mounting assembly for securing building panels, curtain walls, partitions, siding and the like to building surfaces. The nailerless roof edge of the present invention eliminates the need for the piece of wood or nailer which is normally bolted to the top of a cement block wall for the purpose of fastening metal roof edges. The present roof edge assembly comprises a tab strip member which is adapted to be secured adjacent the edge of a roof using adhesive or other attaching means and which has special tab means thereon. The assembly further comprises a cant member having slot means therein adapted to mate with the tab means to secure the cant member to the tab strip member, and a fascia member which is adapted to be mounted on the cant member. The present invention provides for relatively simple, fast, and economical installation of roof edging and is adaptable to conventional roofing sealing membrane and insulation configurations. The framing structure employs a similar tab strip member for securing as with adhesive to a building surface adjacent the window or doorway opening. A frame member, having slotted openings or raised clip members, engages the tab strip to hold the frame member in place on the building structure, while a cover member can be snap fit onto the frame member to conceal the tabs. A similar tab strip is also used to secure other building materials to a building structure, wherein the building material is provided with slotted openings or raised clip members for engaging the tab strip.
