ROOF PANEL EDGE SUPPORT

摘要

A device comprising: a first part having a shape so that the first part is fully and/or partially insertable through a seam between two adjacent panels and a second part having a shape so that the second part is at least partially insertable through the seam between the two adjacent panels; wherein the first part and the second part are connected together via a connection region and wherein the first part, the second part, or both when extended through the seam between the two adjacent panels simultaneously engages both of the two adjacent panels so that movement of a first panel is transferred to a second panel or vice versa, via the multi-part device, and deflection of the first panel, the second panel, or both is minimized and/or substantially eliminated.

1) A device comprising:
a. a first part having a shape so that the first part is fully and/or partially insertable through a seam between two adjacent panels that are part of a pre-existing roof and b. a second part having a shape so that the second part is at least partially insertable through the seam between the two adjacent panels that are part of the pre-existing roof; wherein the first part and the second part are both insertable into the seam of the two adjacent panels from a same side without removing any panels of the pre-existing roof wherein the first part and the second part are connected together via a connection region; wherein the first part, the second part, or both when extended through the seam between the two adjacent panels simultaneously engage both of the two adjacent panels so that movement of a first panel is transferred to a second panel or vice versa, via the device, and deflection of the first panel, the second panel, or both is minimized and/or substantially eliminated; and wherein the connection region of the first part and the second part each include a torque transfer surface and the torque transfer surface of the first part and the torque transfer surface of the second art are twisted relative to each other so that the two torque transfer surfaces form an angle therebetween when the first part and the second part are connected.
