  • Patent number: 7013612
    Abstract: A multi-piece clamp for installation on a standing seam is disclosed. One component of the clamp is a clamp body with a clamp body slot formed therein. This slot may be mounted on a standing seam without having to slide the clamp body onto an end of the seam. Another component of the clamp is an insert(s) that may be disposed within the clamp body slot between a clamp body slot wall and the standing seam. One or more seam fasteners may be directed through the clamp body and a clamp body slot wall to secure each of the inserts within the clamp body slot by a compression of the same, and further to secure the clamp to the standing seam.

  • Patent number: 5228248
    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for controlling the movement of snow and/or ice along/across selected areas of a roof (16), such as a metal, raised seam roof, is disclosed. The apparatus (10) comprises clamps (12) interconnected by at least one cross-member (18). The clamps (12) frictionally engage an external surface of a roof ridge (14) such that the clamps (12) are secured to the roof (16) without piercing the roof (16). The cross-member (18) can be straight or bent and a mechanism can be provided for adjusting the height of at least a portion of the cross-member (18) over the roof (16).
