Abstract:
A snow brake anchoring system to prevent accumulations of snow from sliding off an inclined roof, by securing a snow brake anchor to the inclined roof, the snow brake anchor having a body with a first and second end, a top surface, a first and second leg, a bottom of the first leg, an outwardly facing surface of the first leg, an inwardly facing surface of the first leg, a bottom of the second leg, and an inwardly facing surface of the second leg, the body defining a channel extending between the first end and the second end and between the inwardly facing surface of the first leg and the inwardly facing surface of the second leg, the body further having a laterally extending lip portion that extends perpendicularly away from the outwardly facing surface of the first leg of the body and is co-planar with the top surface.

Claim (Index 20):
A snow brake anchoring system for an inclined roof to prevent accumulations of snow from sliding off the inclined roof, the inclined roof having a plurality of spaced apart generally parallel standing seams extending upwardly from the inclined roof surface, the snow brake anchoring system comprising:\n a snow brake anchor having a unitary body with a first end, a second end, a top surface, a first leg and a second leg, and the second leg is parallel to the first leg, the unitary body defining a fixed-width rectilinear channel between an inwardly facing surface of the first leg and an inwardly facing surface of the second leg, the rectilinear channel defining a channel opening opposite the top surface, and the inwardly facing surfaces are parallel to one another, and the rectilinear fixed-width channel extends between the first end and the second end, the unitary body further having a lip portion that extends laterally perpendicularly outwardly from an outwardly facing surface of the first leg of the unitary body and the lip portion has a top surface that is co-planar with the top surface of the unitary body; a plurality of spacedly arrayed threaded through holes defined in the second leg of the body communicating between an outwardly facing surface of the second leg and the rectilinear channel, and each of the plurality of threaded through holes is sized and configured to releasably carry a threaded set screw therein to releasably positionally secure the snow brake anchor to one of the said generally parallel standing seams of the inclined roof by means of direct physical, and non-penetrating, contact by an end portion of the threaded set screw that extends into the rectilinear channel, against the standing seam that is within the rectilinear channel so as to compress the standing seam that is within the rectilinear channel between the threaded fastener and the inwardly facing surface of the first leg; and the lip portion is integral with the unitary body and is generally perpendicular to the rectilinear channel and is configured to receive fasteners to releasably secure a snow brake to the snow brake anchor body.
