Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
243 words
In a roof deck covering comprising a waterproofing membrane positioned on the surface of said roof deck, a perimeter securement assembly for a roof deck covering for securely fastening said waterproofing membrane to the periphery of said roof deck comprising, a base member capable of being firmly attached to said roof deck and designed to extend along and adjacent to the edge of said roof deck and including an essentially flat first portion designed to be substantially parallel to the surface of said roof deck, a first means on said first portion for enabling said first portion to be attached to said roof deck, and an essentially flat second portion connected to said first portion and extending essentially at right angles to said first portion and adjacent the edge thereof, a second means on said second portion for enabling said second portion to be attached to a vertical wall adjacent to said roof deck, said first portion of said base member being provided with a first element extending in a direction toward said second portion of said base member, and said second portion of said base member being provided with a second element extending in a direction towards said first portion of said base member, a resilient means of a shape conforming to that portion of said base member between said first and second elements and adapted to press said waterproofing membrane securely against said base member between said first and second elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
243 words
In a roof deck covering comprising a waterproofing membrane positioned on the surface of said roof deck, a perimeter securement assembly for a roof deck covering for securely fastening said waterproofing membrane to the periphery of said roof deck comprising, a base member capable of being firmly attached to said roof deck and designed to extend along and adjacent to the edge of said roof deck and including an essentially flat first portion designed to be substantially parallel to the surface of said roof deck, a first means on said first portion for enabling said first portion to be attached to said roof deck, and an essentially flat second portion connected to said first portion and extending essentially at right angles to said first portion and adjacent the edge thereof, a second means on said second portion for enabling said second portion to be attached to a vertical wall adjacent to said roof deck, said first portion of said base member being provided with a first element extending in a direction toward said second portion of said base member, and said second portion of said base member being provided with a second element extending in a direction towards said first portion of said base member, a resilient means of a shape conforming to that portion of said base member between said first and second elements and adapted to press said waterproofing membrane securely against said base member between said first and second elements.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
218 words
In a roof deck covering comprising a waterproofing membrane positioned on the surface of said roof deck and an apertured overlay positioned atop said waterproofing membrane and essentially coextensive therewith, a perimeter securement assembly for a roof deck covering for securely fastening said waterproofing membrane and said apertured overlay to the periphery of said roof deck comprising, a base member capable of being firmly attached to said roof deck and designed to extend along and adjacent to the edge of said roof deck and including a first portion designed to be substantially parallel to the surface of said roof deck and a second portion connected to said first portion and extending essentially at right angles to said first portion and adjacent the edge thereof, said first portion of said base member being provided with a first element extending in a direction toward said second portion of said base member, and said second portion of said base member being provided with a second element extending in a direction toward said first portion of said base member, a first resilient means of a shape conforming to that portion of said base member between said first and second elements and adapfted to press said waterproofing membrane and said apertured overlay securely against said base member between said firsgt and second elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
218 words
In a roof deck covering comprising a waterproofing membrane positioned on the surface of said roof deck and an apertured overlay positioned atop said waterproofing membrane and essentially coextensive therewith, a perimeter securement assembly for a roof deck covering for securely fastening said waterproofing membrane and said apertured overlay to the periphery of said roof deck comprising, a base member capable of being firmly attached to said roof deck and designed to extend along and adjacent to the edge of said roof deck and including a first portion designed to be substantially parallel to the surface of said roof deck and a second portion connected to said first portion and extending essentially at right angles to said first portion and adjacent the edge thereof, said first portion of said base member being provided with a first element extending in a direction toward said second portion of said base member, and said second portion of said base member being provided with a second element extending in a direction toward said first portion of said base member, a first resilient means of a shape conforming to that portion of said base member between said first and second elements and adapfted to press said waterproofing membrane and said apertured overlay securely against said base member between said firsgt and second elements.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
79 words
