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: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A roof-edge assembly for use on a building structure having a generally vertical outer face comprising: a spring clip member for providing a spring force 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 being bent along a first line to integrally define a sloping portion extending generally upwardly and inwardly from said vertical portion; a fascia member carried on said spring clip member, said fascia member having a lower channel portion for receiving said lower edge and having a generally concave upper portion for embracing said sloping portion; a roofing material at least a portion thereof being supported directly on said sloping portion and being gripped by said spring force between said sloping portion and said concave portion; wherein at least said 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
171 words
A roof-edge assembly for use on a building structure having a generally vertical outer face comprising: a spring clip member for providing a spring force 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 being bent along a first line to integrally define a sloping portion extending generally upwardly and inwardly from said vertical portion; a fascia member carried on said spring clip member, said fascia member having a lower channel portion for receiving said lower edge and having a generally concave upper portion for embracing said sloping portion; a roofing material at least a portion thereof being supported directly on said sloping portion and being gripped by said spring force between said sloping portion and said concave portion; wherein at least said 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 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said roofing material has a generally horizontal portion and wherein said spring clip member has a second generally vertical portion coplanar with said attaching portion and disposed above said horizontal portion of said roofing material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said roofing material has a generally horizontal portion and wherein said first line about which said spring clip is bent lies substantially above said horizontal portion of said roofing material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said roofing material has a generally horizontal portion and wherein said line along which said spring clip is bent lies substantially in the same plane as said horizontal portion of said roofing material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
The roof-edge assembly of claim 1 wherein said fascia member includes a generally downwardly extending leg formed on the inwardly directed portion of said concave upper portion.
Claim 7
