Patent

CA 2162190

A roof panel attachment clip includes a bracket having an upper flange, and a sliding member which supports one or more tabs. The sliding member and the bracket have alignable openings such as slots above a hole for receiving a bolt which connects the bracket to a purlin. The openings are sized to receive the shaft of an installation tool, such as a socket wrench, and must be aligned in order to get the wrench proper- ly on the fastener. The installer is thus assisted in center- ing the tabs in the slots as he connects the bracket to the purlin. Once the tool is withdrawn, it is possible to slide the tabs out of position, but a biasing force between the sliding member and the bracket resists such movement.

Dispositif de fixation pour panneau de toit, constitué d'une fixation munie d'un rebord supérieur et d'un coulisseau servant d'appui à un ou plusieurs languettes. Le coulisseau et la fixation comportent des ouvertures, comme des fentes, pouvant être alignées au-dessus d'un orifice afin de recevoir un boulon qui ancre la fixation à une panne. La dimension des ouvertures est prévue pour recevoir le manche d'un outil d'installation, comme une clé à douilles, étant donné que les ouvertures doivent être alignées pour permettre à la clé de se placer correctement sur la fixation, ce qui aide l'installateur à centrer plus facilement les languettes dans les fentes lorsqu'il joint la fixation à la panne. Une fois que l'outil est retiré des ouvertures, il est possible de désaligner les languettes, mais une force de retenue entre le coulisseau et la fixation empêche leur déplacement.
