  • For a connector for joining adjacent flat roof panels coplanarly together
    Patent number: 6615564
    Abstract: A connector that joins flat roof panels coplanarly together. The connector includes a body, a neck, a head, a pair of legs, a pair of feet, and a pair of toes. The neck extends upwardly from the body. The head extends transversely across the neck. The pair of legs depend from the body. The pair of feet extend outwardly from the pair of legs, respectively. The pair of toes extend upwardly from the pair of feet, respectively. The body, the neck, and the head together define a pair of opposing channels that coplanarly and slidingly receive the flat roof panels, respectively, so as to form a connection. The pair of legs, the pair of feet, and the pair of toes together define a pair of upwardly opening channels that provide a runoff for any water passing through the connection and running down the pair of legs.
