  • Injection-molded roofing membrane plate
    Patent number: 9719551
    Abstract: An injection-molded plastic roofing membrane plate includes a body and multiple cleats. The cleats extend from a bottom surface of the body. Each of the cleats has a rounded terminal end with a rounded terminal surface. The rounded terminal surfaces make surface-to-surface abutment with an underlying membrane in installation. The rounded terminal surfaces reduce wear on the underlying membrane that may otherwise occur.

  • Roofing pull-test frame assembly
    Patent number: 9645062
    Abstract: A roofing pull-test frame assembly includes a base, a frame plate, and legs. The base is placed on a roof during use of the roofing pull-test frame assembly. The base has one or more walls with a bracing surface. The legs extend between the base and the frame plate and support the frame plate above the base when the roofing pull-test frame assembly is assembled together. In use, loads experienced during a pull-testing event are transmitted between the legs and base via surface-to-surface abutment with the bracing surface.
