Abstract
Abstract Described is an arrangement for securing a water-impervious flexible web (10) comprising an elastomer on a walling means (6) to be sealed, in particular a flat roof, having a holder member (1) which can be secured to the walling means (6) and which has a projection (5) with an outwardly projecting side bead (7) forming an undercut configuration (8), and an outer securing member (11), with the web (10) being arranged to be clamped between the holder member (1) and the outer securing member (11). In order to avoid the disadvantageous formation of folds, to prevent damage to the flexible web, and also to prevent the spring ring from slipping out of place, while also achieving a higher degree of fixing stability than in known arrangements of this kind, while using simple means, the arrangement provides that the outer securing member (11) has, as one piece, a plate-shaped resilient spring plate (12) which is at least partially engaged by an elastomer or plastomer material, and a clamp means (13) which is enclosed on all sides by an elastomer or plastomer material, forming a resiliently yielding cushion means (16) arranged in relation to the flexible web (10).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
128 words
An arrangement for securing a water-impervious, flexible web comprising an elastomer on a walling means to be sealed, in particular a flat roof, comprising a holder member which can be secured to the walling means and which has a projection with an outwardly projecting side bead forming an undercut configuration, and an outer securing member, wherein the web can be clamped fast between the holder member and the outer securing member, characterised in that the outer securing member has as one piece a plate-shaped resilient spring plate which is at least partially encased by an elastomer or plastomer material and a clamp means which is enclosed on all sides by an elastomer or plastomer material, forming a resiliently yielding cushion means arranged in relation to the flexible web.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
128 words
An arrangement for securing a water-impervious, flexible web comprising an elastomer on a walling means to be sealed, in particular a flat roof, comprising a holder member which can be secured to the walling means and which has a projection with an outwardly projecting side bead forming an undercut configuration, and an outer securing member, wherein the web can be clamped fast between the holder member and the outer securing member, characterised in that the outer securing member has as one piece a plate-shaped resilient spring plate which is at least partially encased by an elastomer or plastomer material and a clamp means which is enclosed on all sides by an elastomer or plastomer material, forming a resiliently yielding cushion means arranged in relation to the flexible web.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
An arrangement according to claim 1 characterised in that the resilient spring plate comprises metal and is annular.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
An arrangement according to claim 2 characterised in that the resilient spring plate has slots extending radially inwardly from its outer periphery.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
An arrangement according to claim 1 characterised in that the outer securing member has, adjacent its outer periphery, a thin annular lip which extends at an inclined angle inwardly and away from the base of the plate portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
An arrangement according to claim 4 characterised in that the outer securing member has a protective cap of elastomer or plastomer material in the region of the clamp means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
An arrangement according to claim 5 characterised in that the clamp means is an open metal spring ring.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
27 words
An arrangement according to claim 5 characterised in that the clamp means is a metal wire which is permanently deformable by twisting at one or both sides.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
An arrangement according to claim 5 characterised in that the clamp means is an open spiral spring.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
27 words
An arrangement according to claim 5 characterised in that the clamp means is a metal member which is permanently deformable in the manner of a hose clip.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
38 words
An arrangement according to claim 5 characterised in that the resilient spring plate has a permanently deformable upstanding collar portion in the region of the hole in the spring plate, in the manner of a crown cork closure.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
65 words
An arrangement according to claim 6 characterised in that the open metal spring ring is arranged in the resiliently yielding cushion means of the elastomer or plastomer material and has two extension portions which project substantially radially outwardly at a spacing from each other in the peripheral direction of the cushion means, one of which extension portions can be engaged into the other extension portion.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
76 words
An arrangement according to claim 11 characterised in that the first extension portion of the metal spring ring is substantially straight and the second extension portion is bent over at a spacing from the outer periphery of the cushion means substantially in the peripheral direction, extending towards the first extension portion over a length which is less than the spacing between the two extension portions and is bent back again in a U-shape at the end.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
52 words
An arrangement according to claim 12 characterised in that the portion which is bent back in a U-shape at the end of the second extension portion has an end portion which is bent over again transversely with respect to the peripheral direction and radially outwardly and parallel to the first extension portion.
