PANEL POSITIONING DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS

摘要

Various embodiments of panel positioning devices are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a panel positioning device includes a vise grip handle portion with first and second arms extending therefrom. First and second plates can be attached to the first and second arms, respectively. The first plate can provide a surface upon which a panel to be attached to a wall can be rested prior to being mounted. The first plate can provide a space between a flashing and the panel to be mounted. The second plate can extend vertically substantially perpendicular to the first plate. The panel positioning device can be secured directly to the flashing.

主权项

1. A panel positioning device, comprising:
a clamp having a first arm, a second arm, a first plate coupled to the first arm, and a second plate coupled to the second arm, wherein the first and second arms move between an open position and a closed position, and wherein the first plate extends at least substantially horizontal in the closed position and second plate extends at least substantially vertical in the close position; and a locking mechanism operatively coupled to the clamp to releasably hold the clamp in the closed position.
