Abstract: Disclosed within is a support that attaches to the roof without mechanical fasteners, results in only minor increases to the roof load by requiring no ballast, and bonds to the surface of the roof. The result is a roof that is stronger with the roof supports than without, and a roof with an enhanced ability to perform its functions. The roof support device consists generally of a baseplate, a column affixed to, or intrinsic to, the upper surface of the baseplate, the column surrounding a rod, the rod protruding above the top of the column. The roof support device is preferably affixed to a roof using an adhesive applied the underside of the baseplate. The roof support device is installed using spray foam, which acts to strengthen the bond with the roof, and providing additional protection against water infiltration.

Abstract: A road shoulder working, grooming and compacting apparatus is configured to demountably cooperate with self-propelled operator-controlled machines. The apparatus comprises a first component for controllably working an outer portion of a road shoulder region to urge granular aggregate materials therefrom toward and onto a road surface, a second component positioned posterior to the first component and vertically movable between disengaged and engaged positions for controllably transferring granular aggregate material from a road surface to a road shoulder region, and a third component positioned posterior the second component for controllably distributing, grooming and compacting granular aggregate materials contained within the road shoulder region. The first and third components are movable between raised retracted positions and laterally-deployed lowered positions for engaging and working road shoulder regions while the self-propelled operator-controllable machine travels along a road surface.
