Seam stabilizer for standing seam panels

摘要

A seam stabilizer for maintaining standing seam roof panels on module during installation, the seam stabilizer having profile members that provide pressing force on the standing seam for maintaining and aligning the horizontal and vertical shape of the standing seam formed at interconnected upstanding corrugations along the length of adjacent panels; a pressing mechanism moves the profile members into pressing engagement with the standing seam during installation. Further, a module set gauge extends between the profile members to fit over the opposing upstanding edge of the adjacent panel and secure same on module as the edge is secured to the underlying support members.

1. A seam stabilizer for maintaining the panels of a standing seam roof on module during installation of the standing seam roof, the panels having upstanding corrugations for the forming of standing seams interconnecting adjacent panels, the seam stabilizer comprising:
profile means responsive to a pressing force for maintaining the shape of the standing seam formed by interconnected upstanding corrugations of adjacent panels; means for pressing the profile means to engage the standing seam to maintain a predetermined profile during installation of the panels; and a module set gauge comprising a body member having a connecting groove in a first end and having a seam receiving groove in a second end, the connecting groove and seam receiving groove being spatially separated by a distance substantially equaling a predetermined module distance of the panels and the seam receiving groove positional over a panel corrugation while holding a clip attached thereto vertically.
