Abstract:
The invention provides a system for installing a roof penetrating structure to a metal roof, the system comprising: a) a rail and closure structure adapted to be supported by adjacent rib elevations of said roof; b) a skylight adapted to be supported on the rail and closure structure; and c) a support member for sealing a cut away portion of the rib structure to divert water away from the rail and closure structure.

Claim (Index 31):
A sloping metal roof on a building, said sloping metal roof comprising a plurality of elongate metal roof panels arranged side by side, such roof panels having lengths and widths, edges of adjacent such roof panels meeting at elevated rib structure portions thereof, first and second ones of said rib structure portions being joined to each other and thereby defining elevated roof panel ribs, having lengths, panel flats being disposed between such elevated roof panel ribs, said panel flats having widths extending between respective ones of said elevated roof panel ribs,\n a load being mounted on said roof, said load being supported by a load support structure, said load support structure comprising first and second rails having lengths extending in same directions as the lengths of said elevated roof panel ribs, said load support structure extending across an entirety of the width of at least one said panel flat, from a first said elevated roof panel rib to a second said elevated roof panel rib, said first rail defining a first side of said load support structure and being mounted to said first rib at leading, intermediate, and trailing portions of the length of said first rail, said second rail being mounted to said second rib at leading, intermediate, and trailing portions of the length of said second rail at a second opposing side of said load support structure, said load support structure defining a support flange at one or more elevations above the panel flat of a respective next adjacent said first roof panel across an entirety of the width of said support structure from said first rib to said second rib, said load being mounted to said load support structure at said support flange, said load support structure being disposed between said load and one or more of said roof panels, substantially all of a downwardly-directed force of said load passing downwardly through said first and second rails, to underlying ones of said elevated roof panel ribs, and from said ribs downwardly to structural support members of said building.
