Abstract: A method and apparatus for attaching roof membranes to roof decks. A bridge is placed on flaps created by overlapping portions of roofing material. The bridge is comprised of two end portions which engage the roofing material. A screw is preferably installed through the bridge and into the roof deck. When wind applies force to the roofing membrane, the bridge creates a fulcrum-like effect which helps secure the roof membrane to the roof deck.

Abstract: The present invention is an adjustable corner fitment for a roof. The adjustable corner fitment is comprised of a top membrane and a bottom membrane. The top membrane has a cutout. The cutout extends from a side of the top membrane. The base membrane portion has a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side. The first side is connected to the second side at a first angle greater than 90 degrees, and the third side is connected to the fourth side at a second angle greater than 90 degrees. The base membrane portion is conformed to loop shape such that the first side and the second side underlie portions of the top membrane contiguous to the cutout. The first side of the base membrane may be completely welded to the top membrane prior to installation. However, the second side of the base membrane is adjustable relative to the top membrane prior to installation on the roof.

Abstract: A termination bar for covering an edge of a sheet of roofing material applied to an outer surface of a building includes a planar body, a cover and a hinge for pivotally connecting the cover to the planar body, all formed as an integral unit. Opposite longitudinally extending edge portions of the planar body are thicker than a central portion of the body and apertures for receiving fasteners are formed in the central portion. After the termination bar has been attached to the building over the edge of the roofing material by suitable fasteners, the cover is pivoted into a superposed position on the planar body. The cover is maintained in position by a first latching means formed on one edge of the cover and a cooperating second latching means formed on one edge portion of the body.
