Abstract: A roofing anchor configured to be removably secured to a seam of a roofing panel includes a first segment having a first flange configured to contact a first side of the seam upon closing the roofing anchor, and a second segment opposing the first segment, the second segment having a second flange opposite the first flange, the second flange configured to contact a second side of the seam upon closing the roofing anchor. The roofing anchor also includes a hinge mechanism configured to open the roofing anchor to separate the first flange and the second flange by a distance greater than at least a top of the seam, and to close the roofing anchor to bring the first flange and the second flange in contact with the seam. The roofing anchor further includes a securing mechanism configured to apply a compressive force on the seam.

Abstract: A roofing bracket is configured to securely and removeably attach to a standing seam of a roofing panel. The roofing bracket has a first section and a plurality of second sections, each section having a base that defines a top and bottom face. A pressure clamping device extends between the first section and each of the plurality of second sections. A plank support system is selectively mountable onto the first section and configured to receive and retain a plank therein. The plank support system defines a plank support face and an angle lift mechanism configured to place a plank in a substantially horizontal position. A clamping adjustment mechanism is mounted onto each of the plurality of second sections and is configured to apply a torque to the first section and each of the second sections.

Abstract: An advanced standing seam roof panel bracket that provides for securing apparatus to a standing seam roof panel is disclosed. The device includes a Pressure Clamping Device that provides the means for removeably securing roofing equipment to the standing seam of the roof panel; and a Plank Support System that provides the means, in cooperation with the Pressure Clamping Device, for removeably securing and retaining a support platform that is capable of supporting a worker, tools, or other materials. In addition, this tool provides an advanced means and method for securely and removeably attaching onto a standing seam of a roof panel any safety equipment such as a lifeline or guard rails, roof installation components such as solar panels and sky lights, roofing installation tooling and scaffolding, roofing repair tooling, or any other equipment that is desired to be removeably secured to the standing seam of a roof panel.

Abstract: A novel roofing bracket is disclosed wherein use of a plurality of the roofing brackets provides a generally horizontal working surface on an inclined standing seam roofing panel. The roofing bracket comprises a first and second section, each section defining a base and an upright extending from the base, and a clamping mechanism for securely and removeably fastening the first section upright and the second section upright juxtaposed to one another abutting opposite sides of the standing seam. The roofing brackets further define a retaining element for engaging and retaining a plank suitable for providing a generally horizontal working surface.
