  • Patent number: 5058333
    Abstract: A foam roofing system in which a unique universal beam allows adjacent foam roofing sections to be joined and substantially eliminates water leaks. The universal beam is formed with a design that creates a series of water dispersing channels on either side of a center web and a third concave channel on a surface opposite the channels. Adjacent roofing panels are joined by two of the universal beams on upper and lower surfaces with the beams being in reverse orientation. The beam thus provides a series of at least three separate channels for dissipating excess water. The system also includes a unique coupling splice for joining joists, or cross beams, that support the roofing system. The splice coupling has stiffening ribs to prevent collapse of hollow sheet metal joists when bolted together. The universal beam also accommodates transparent panels to allow the roofing system to include a skylight, if desired.
