Fascia system for a flat roof

Claim 2

A marginal edge construction for a roof deck having roofing material laid over the deck, comprising a generally vertically disposed fascia strip extending longitudinally along the roof deck and having an upper end portion in-turned in spaced relation over the roof, and an inwardly projecting lip portion spaced below said upper end portion overlying said roofing material, said upper end portion of the strip defining a marginal bead having a shoulder forming a locking edge extending therealong, anchor means for said fascia strip having a first end portion embracing said bead and definiNg a marginal locking edge bearing against said shoulder in locked relation, an intermediate retaining portion overlying the fascia strip between its upper portion and its lip portion, and an opposite end portion in overlying engagement with said roofing material, and securing means for securing said anchor means to said roof deck, with the anchor means exerting downward and inward force on said upper end portion of the fascia strip.

Claim 3

The invention as defined in claim 1 characterized in that said upper end portion and said projecting lip portion of said fascia strip are generally parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of the strip forming a channel within which the intermediate portion of said anchor means engages the strip.

Claim 4

The invention defined in claim 2 characterized in that said marginal bead upstands from the marginal edge of said upper end portion of the fascia strip, and said first end portion of the anchor means comprises a hooklike end in locking relation against the bead shoulder.

Claim 5

The invention as defined in claim 1 characterized in that said opposite end portion of the anchor means is planar throughout at least most of its length for overlying the marginal edge of said roofing material.

Claim 6

The invention as defined in claim 4 characterized in that said opposite end portion of the anchor means has a marginal edge displaced from said planar portion forming a clamp bearing against said roofing material spaced from said fascia strip.

Claim 7

The invention as defined in claim 1 characterized in that said upper end portion of said fascia strip includes a marginal edge portion extending downwardly and inwardly forming an acute angle with the plane of the strip and terminating in said bead, with the intermediate portion of said anchor means shaped to overlie the fascia strip between the apex of said acute angle to said projecting lip.

Claim 8

The invention as defined in claim 6 characterized in that said anchor means includes a generally upright intermediate portion having an upper end projecting into the acute angle apex and a lower end overlying said fascia strip projecting lip, a first end portion of hook shape extending upwardly away from said intermediate portion embracing said fascia strip bead and locking against said shoulder, and an opposite end portion extending outwardly away from the lower end of said intermediate portion and overlying said roofing material.

Claim 9

The invention as defined in claim 7 characterized in that the free end of said opposite end portion of the anchor means is displaced out of the plane of said portion forming a clamping edge which bears against said roofing material spaced from said fascia strip.

Claim 10

A marginal edge construction for a roof deck having an inclined cant secured to and extending upwardly and outwardly from the roof deck and roofing material on the deck extending over the inclined surface of the cant, comprising: a generally vertically disposed fascia strip extending longitudinally along the roof deck having an upper end portion inturned in spaced relation to the roofing material and an inwardly projecting lip portion spaced below said upper end portion in overlying engagement with said roofing material, said upper end portion of the strip defining a marginal bead having a shoulder forming a locking edge; a liner flashing strip having an upper portion conforming in shape to and engaging the fascia strip between said marginal bead and said lip, and a lower portion projecting away from the fascia strip in overlying engagement with said roofing material; at least one anchor member for said fascia strip having a hooklike first end portion embracing said bead and bearing against said shoulder in locked relation, an intermediate retaining portion engaging the upper portion of the liner flashing strip between said upper end and lip portions of the fascia strip, and an opposite end portion in overlying engagement with the flashing strip and roofing material over the inclined cant; and securIng means extending through said anchor means, liner flashing strip, roofing material and cant, with the anchor means exerting downward and inward force against said shoulder on the bead of the fascia strip.

Claim 11

A marginal edge construction for a roof deck having an inclined cant secured to and extending upwardly and outwardly from the roof deck and roofing material on the deck extending over the inclined surface of the cant, comprising: a generally vertically disposed fascia strip extending longitudinally along the roof deck having an upper end portion inturned in spaced relation to the roofing material and an inwardly projecting lip portion spaced below said upper end portion in overlying engagement with said roofing material, said upper end portion of the strip defining a marginal bead having a shoulder forming a locking edge; a liner flashing strip having an upper portion conforming in shape to and engaging the fascia strip between said marginal bead and said lip, and a lower portion projecting away from the fascia strip in overlying engagement with said roofing material; at least one anchor member for said fascia strip having a hooklike first end portion embracing said bead and bearing against said shoulder in locked relation, an intermediate retaining portion engaging the upper portion of the liner flashing strip between said upper end and lip portions of the fascia strip, and an opposite end portion in overlying engagement with the flashing strip and roofing material over the inclined cant; and securIng means extending through said anchor means, liner flashing strip, roofing material and cant, with the anchor means exerting downward and inward force against said shoulder on the bead of the fascia strip.

Claim 12

The invention as defined in claim 9 characterized in that said fascia strip upper end terminates in a downwardly inwardly inclined marginal edge having said bead thereon and said anchor means has an intermediate portion wedgingly received between the apex of said fascia strip and its projecting lip, a first end portion forming a hook embracing said bead and locking against the shoulder, and an opposite end portion extending downwardly and outwardly from the intermediate portion and overlying said roofing material.

Claim 13

The invention as defined in claim 9 characterized in that a plurality of fascia strips extend along the roof deck edge in end-to-end relation, and a plurality of liner flashing strips extend therealong engaging the fascia strips and overlying the roofing material on said inclined cant, each fascia strip being substantially twice as long as each liner flashing strip, and a plurality of anchor means locked on the fascia strip bead and engaging the liner flashing strips, with one of said securing means for each anchor means, alternate anchor means disposed overlying adjacent marginal edges of abutting liner flashing strips with said securing means extending through the anchor means, the roofing material and the cant and projecting between the liner flashing strip edges, the remaining anchor means disposed substantially medially of each liner flashing strip with said securing means extending through the anchor means, the liner flashing strip, the roofing material and the inclined cant.
