Patent ID: 8191319

Claim:
A roof edge cable raceway system adapted to be installed along an edge of a roof of a structure, the roof edge cable raceway system having a channel with opposing sides that extend along a length of the channel and at least in part define an opening into the channel extending along the length of the channel, a first of the channel sides adapted to be positioned adjacent the edge of the roof of the structure and a second of the channel sides being spaced from the first channel side by a width of the channel, the roof edge cable raceway system comprising first and second separate members distinct from one another and assembled together to form the roof edge cable raceway system, the first separate member comprising a roof engagement portion being adapted to abut a portion of the roof of a structure adjacent the roof edge and forming the first channel side in the roof edge cable raceway system, the second separate member comprising a biasing member having a generally “L”-shaped cross-section and forming the second channel side in the roof edge cable raceway system; wherein in forming the roof edge cable raceway system, the biasing member is adapted to releasably engage a cable disposed in the channel, and the biasing member is movable in a first direction to allow insertion of the cable through the opening into the channel and a second direction to allow removably securing the cable in the channel with the cable visible through the opening from a position in front of the opening, wherein the biasing member has a projection, the projection having a length; wherein in forming the roof edge cable raceway system, the biasing member is adjustably attached to the roof engagement portion to form the channel, the channel adapted to accommodate the thickness of a heating cable; and wherein the projection abuts the roof engagement portion and sets the opening of the channel when the first and second separate members are assembled together to form the roof edge cable raceway system.
