Abstract
Abstract A device for holding facia boards in position for attachment to a building is disclosed. The device includes an L-shaped bracket having one leg adapted for removable attachment to a building's roof with a second leg depending down adjacent the position at which the facia board is to be attached. A support member is slidably mounted to the depending leg and supports the facia board in position for attachment to the building. The support is adjustable to accomodate facia boards of different widths.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A device for holding a facia board in a position for attachment to a building, comprising: a generally L-shaped member including a first leg having a planer mounting surface adapted to engage against a flat external surface of a roof deck of the building proximate an edge of the roof, said first leg including at least one aperture for receiving a fastener there through to be driven into said roof deck, said L-shaped member including a second leg extending from the first leg disposed adjacent the attachment position with the first leg attached to the external surface of said roof deck; and a support member extending from said second leg disposed beneath the attachment position with the first leg attached to the external surface of the roof deck said support member mounted to said second leg for selective positioning at a plurality of different positions spaced from said first leg to accomodate a plurality of facia boards having different widths.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
160 words
A device for holding a facia board in a position for attachment to a building, comprising: a generally L-shaped member including a first leg having a planer mounting surface adapted to engage against a flat external surface of a roof deck of the building proximate an edge of the roof, said first leg including at least one aperture for receiving a fastener there through to be driven into said roof deck, said L-shaped member including a second leg extending from the first leg disposed adjacent the attachment position with the first leg attached to the external surface of said roof deck; and a support member extending from said second leg disposed beneath the attachment position with the first leg attached to the external surface of the roof deck said support member mounted to said second leg for selective positioning at a plurality of different positions spaced from said first leg to accomodate a plurality of facia boards having different widths.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The device as defined in claim 1 wherein said support member is mounted for slidable movement along the length of said second leg.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The device as defined in claim 2 wherein said second leg includes a longitudinally elongated aperture and said support member includes guide means disposed in said elongated aperture.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
The device as defined in claim 3 wherein said support member is L-shaped having one leg defining a support ledge and a second leg including a protuberance slidally received in said elongated aperture defining said guide means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
46 words
The device as defined in claim 4 wherein said protuberance includes a tapped hole and said device further includes a fastener receivable in said tapped hole, said fastener including a shoulder engageable against said second leg to releasably retain said support member at said different position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
35 words
The device as defined in claim 4 further including means for indicating positions of said support member corresponding to predetermined spacings between said first leg and said support ledge corresponding to predetermined facia board widths.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
The device as defined in claim 6 wherein said means for indicating includes a graduated scale of said second leg adjacent said elongated aperture including indicia of facia board widths and an indicator on said support member.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
103 words
A device for holding a facia board in a position for attachment to a building, comprising: a bracket member including a first portion having a planer surface adapted to engage against a flat external surface of a roof deck of the building proximate an edge of the roof deck and a second portion depending from the first portion adjacent the position on the building with the first portion attached to the external surface of the roof deck; and a support member mounted to said second portion for slidable positioning and retention at selected positions spaced from said first portion disposed beneath said position.
Claim 10
Independent Claim
103 words
A device for holding a facia board in a position for attachment to a building, comprising: a bracket member including a first portion having a planer surface adapted to engage against a flat external surface of a roof deck of the building proximate an edge of the roof deck and a second portion depending from the first portion adjacent the position on the building with the first portion attached to the external surface of the roof deck; and a support member mounted to said second portion for slidable positioning and retention at selected positions spaced from said first portion disposed beneath said position.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
136 words
A device for holding a facia board of at least one width in a position for attachment to a building, comprising: a generally L-shaped member including a first leg having a planer mounting surface for engaging against a flat external surface of a roof deck at least one hole for receiving a fastening element to removably attach said first leg to said external surface of the roof deck of the building and a second leg extending from said first leg having a longitudinally elongated aperture having a length; a support member extending from said second leg including means received in said elongated aperture for guiding said support member for slidable movement over the length of the elongated aperture; and fastener means for retaining said support member at selected positions along the length of the elongated slot.
Claim 12
Independent Claim
136 words
A device for holding a facia board of at least one width in a position for attachment to a building, comprising: a generally L-shaped member including a first leg having a planer mounting surface for engaging against a flat external surface of a roof deck at least one hole for receiving a fastening element to removably attach said first leg to said external surface of the roof deck of the building and a second leg extending from said first leg having a longitudinally elongated aperture having a length; a support member extending from said second leg including means received in said elongated aperture for guiding said support member for slidable movement over the length of the elongated aperture; and fastener means for retaining said support member at selected positions along the length of the elongated slot.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
25 words
The device as defined in claim 9 further including means for indicating a plurality of predetermined spacings between said first leg and said support member.
