<p>There are embodiments of brackets (30) adapted for mounting building panels, especially roof members (20) mounted to structural members (38) for rigidity, in a manner to permit limited uni-axial or bi-axial movement. A preferred embodiment has a channel shaped base member (54) adapted to be secured to an existing roof (14) or to a building frame component (48) and a channel shaped slider member (56) formed to slidingly straddle and slide on the base member. For uni-axial motion, a bolt (B) passes through a single pair of longitudinal slots (56s) formed in each side (56d) of the slider member and through a mating bolt hole in the side of the base member. For bi-axial motion, the slider member has a second pair of slots (56z) formed in its top wall perpendicular to the slider member's longitudinal slots (56s). A slide plate (52) interspersed between the base member and the slider member distributes sliding friction and other forces.</p> |
