Abstract:
The invention provides a system for installing a rail and closure assembly on a metal roof. The rail and closure assembly includes a supporting rail and closure structure adapted to be supported by adjacent rib elevations of the roof, and an overlying load adapted to be supported by the rail and closure structure. The rail and closure structure diverts water around the rail and closure assembly. The entire heights of the side rails, including the rail bottoms, are above the closest portions of the panel flats. At least one panel of each of the side rails faces the respective rib along the full length of the respective side rail. The rail and closure assembly also includes a lower closure. Opposing ends of the lower closure extend upwardly and interface with the ribs. The lower closure further comprises a lower flange which interfaces with a respective panel flat.

Claim (Index 21):
A load system for installing a load on a metal panel roof, such metal panel roof comprising elongate metal roof panels, each having a length and a width, such roof panels defining elevated roof panel ribs, panel flats being disposed between such roof panel ribs, said load system comprising:\n (a) a rail and closure structure comprising\n (i) a first side rail, having first and second ends, a first length between the first and second ends, a first top, and a first bottom, a first downwardly-facing surface of said first side rail being mounted directly to a first upwardly-facing surface of a first such rib along an entirety of the first length of said first side rail, and \n (ii) a second side rail, having third and fourth ends, a second length between the third and fourth ends, a second top, and a second bottom, a second downwardly-facing surface of said second side rail being mounted directly to a second upwardly-facing surface of a second such rib along an entirety of the second length of said second side rail, \n the bottom of at least one of said first and second side rails, at a given point along the length of the respective said side rail, being spaced above an elevation of a portion of the respective panel flat which most closely underlies the respective said side rail at such point along the length of the respective said side rail; and\n (b) a load adapted to be supported by said rail and closure structure.
