Abstract
Abstract A roof edge assembly includes a resilient member secured to the roof structure of a building. The resilient member has at least one sloping portion protruding upwardly and inwardly and serves to mount and support a fascia member on the edge of the roof structure. The assembly also functions to anchor the periphery of a sheet-like roofing material as well as acting as a gravel stop or barrier preventing water and other substances from falling off the edge of the roof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
151 words
An assembly for formng a raised roof edge on a building structure having a generally vertical outer face, comprising: a spring clip member having a generally vertical portion for attaching to said outer face, said vertical portion having a lower edge and having an inwardly directed face for confronting said outer face; said spring clip having a first sloping portion extending generally upwardly and inwardly and having a second sloping portion extending further upwardly and outwardly; a fascia member supported on said spring clip member, said fascia member having a lower channel portion and a generally concave upper portion; said second sloping portion being received within said concave upper portion and said lower edge being received within said lower channel portion; wherein at least said first sloping portion is resiliently deflectable in response to manually applied forces to permit assembly and disassembly of said lower edge within said lower channel portion.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
