  • Patent number: 10676933
    Abstract: A snow brake anchoring system for an inclined roof having a plurality generally T-shaped standing seams that extend upwardly from the inclined roof surface, the snow brake anchoring system having a two-part anchor body defining a width adjustable elongated and generally rectilinear channel. The first half of the body caring an elongated convexly shaped rotation protuberance on an interior surface, and the second half of the body defines an elongated concavely shaped notch on an interior surface, and the rotation protuberance is at least partially carried within the concavely shaped notch allowing the two body halves to move relative to one another to adjust the width dimension of the elongated generally rectilinear channel. Gripping protuberances are carried at a bottom portion of each edge of the channel to frictionally engage with the T-shaped standing seam, and a plurality of fasteners releasably interconnect the body halves to one another.

  • Patent number: 10385573
    Abstract: A snow brake anchoring system to prevent accumulations of snow from sliding off an inclined roof, by securing a snow brake anchor to the inclined roof, the snow brake anchor having a body with a first and second end, a top surface, a first and second leg, a bottom of the first leg, an outwardly facing surface of the first leg, an inwardly facing surface of the first leg, a bottom of the second leg, and an inwardly facing surface of the second leg, the body defining a channel extending between the first end and the second end and between the inwardly facing surface of the first leg and the inwardly facing surface of the second leg, the body further having a laterally extending lip portion that extends perpendicularly away from the outwardly facing surface of the first leg of the body and is co-planar with the top surface.
