Abstract A batten seam joint providing a leakproof joint between adjacent roofing or sheathing member includes a longitudinally extending extrusion having spaced upstanding flanges inwardly from the edges thereof and a centrally disposed bifurcated fastener section. The adjacent longitudinal edges of the roofing or sheathing to be joined are positioned over the upstanding flanges and bent downwardly therebetween and a cap strip of the roofing or sheathing material is formed with longitudinally extending down turned flanges which are doubled and of a size to fit over the spaced upstanding flanges of the extrusion. A plurality of cut sections of a different extrusion are positioned at intervals in the cap strip and these cut sections include centrally disposed depending fastener members for engaging the bifurcated fastener so as to hold the cap strip securely in position and complete the batten seam joint.
A batten seam joint structure comprising an underlying elongated member having spaced upstanding flanges and a bifurcated flange therebetween, and elongated inverted channel shaped flexible closure member, the flanges of said closure member being reversely bent on themselves, a plurality of channel-shaped clips nested in spaced relation in said elongated flexible closure member, said clips having depending portions with means for engagement in said bifurcated flange of said underlying elongated member, a pair of adjacent roofing sheets having their opposite edges shaped to provide hooklike engagement with the upstanding flanges of said underlying elongated member and held thereon beneath said elongated flexible closure member and the clips therein in sealing relation thereto.
