Abstract
Abstract The specification describes a device for attaching a covering molding on the edges of a roof, comprising a bracket, whose one limb is adapted to be attached to the roof and whose other limb, which is vertical, is provided with first teeth adapted to engage second teeth on a mount for holding the mount and the molding clamped on it vertically. The vertical limb of the bracket is mounted in a substantially play-free manner between the mount and the molding.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
241 words
An assembly for adjustably securing a molding on the edge of a roof, comprising in combination: a bracket having a first limb including means adapted to mount the first limb substantially horizontal at a roof edge, said bracket including a second limb integral with and disposed substantially normal to the first limb, said second limb including first teeth on one face thereof; a molding-mount extending in adjustable juxtaposed relationship along the face of said second limb closest to said first limb of the bracket for clamped engagement on said second limb face, said molding-mount including connecting-portions adjacent opposed portions thereof for removably-receiving a molding clamped onto said molding-mount with the second bracket limb sandwiched therebetween; and a molding having mounting-means adjacent opposed portions for engaging the respective connecting portions on said molding mount, said molding being substantially juxtaposed at the face of said second limb opposite thAt face engaged by the molding-mount and comprising the means for integrating the bracket, molding-mount and molding in an assembled relation, at least one of the molding mount and the molding having second teeth intermeshingly engaged with the first teeth on the second limb for preventing displacement between the assembled components of the assembly, whereby the second bracket limb is clamped in a substantially fixed manner between the confronting faces of the molding-mount and the molding so that the intermeshed first and second teeth are immediately separable after the molding is removed from the molding-mount.

An assembly for adjustably securing a molding on the edge of a roof, comprising in combination: a bracket having a first limb including means adapted to mount the first limb substantially horizontal at a roof edge, said bracket including a second limb integral with and disposed substantially normal to the first limb, said second limb including first teeth on one face thereof; a molding-mount extending in adjustable juxtaposed relationship along the face of said second limb closest to said first limb of the bracket for clamped engagement on said second limb face, said molding-mount including connecting-portions adjacent opposed portions thereof for removably-receiving a molding clamped onto said molding-mount with the second bracket limb sandwiched therebetween; and a molding having mounting-means adjacent opposed portions for engaging the respective connecting portions on said molding mount, said molding being substantially juxtaposed at the face of said second limb opposite thAt face engaged by the molding-mount and comprising the means for integrating the bracket, molding-mount and molding in an assembled relation, at least one of the molding mount and the molding having second teeth intermeshingly engaged with the first teeth on the second limb for preventing displacement between the assembled components of the assembly, whereby the second bracket limb is clamped in a substantially fixed manner between the confronting faces of the molding-mount and the molding so that the intermeshed first and second teeth are immediately separable after the molding is removed from the molding-mount.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
The structure as set forth in claim 1, in which the first teeth are on the second limb of the bracket and face towards the molding-mount and the molding-mount second teeth face toward the first teeth.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
The structure as set forth in claim 1, in which the first teeth of the second limb of the bracket face the molding and the molding is provided with the second teeth on its inner surface facing toward the first teeth.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The structure as set forth in claim 1, in which the first bracket limb includes an aperture adjacent the second limb, and the molding-mount extends through the aperture portion in the first limb of the bracket.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
The structure as set forth in claim 1, in which the molding mounting-means includes reverted portions fitting around the molding-mount above and below end portions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim

The structure as set forth in claim 1, in which the molding is substantially U-shaped with a long straight central portion and two end portions disposed at an angle substantially perpendicular to the central portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The structure as set forth in claim 5, in which one end of the molding-mount comprises an oblique resilient limb snapingly-engaged in a bead portion of the molding.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
The structure as set forth in claim 7, in which the upper end of the molding-mount has the oblique resilient limb engaging the bead portion of the molding.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
The structure as set forth in claim 7, in which the resilient limb includes a handle for permitting the resilient limb to be bent out of engagement with the molding.
