Abstract:
A roofing anchor configured to be removably secured to a seam of a roofing panel includes a first segment having a first flange configured to contact a first side of the seam upon closing the roofing anchor, and a second segment opposing the first segment, the second segment having a second flange opposite the first flange, the second flange configured to contact a second side of the seam upon closing the roofing anchor. The roofing anchor also includes a hinge mechanism configured to open the roofing anchor to separate the first flange and the second flange by a distance greater than at least a top of the seam, and to close the roofing anchor to bring the first flange and the second flange in contact with the seam. The roofing anchor further includes a securing mechanism configured to apply a compressive force on the seam.

Claim (Index 17):
An anchoring system for a standing seam roof, comprising:\n a first roofing anchor configured to be removably secured to a first seam of at least one roofing panel, the first roofing anchor including a first pair of opposing segments, the first roofing anchor secured to the first seam by closing the first roofing anchor to bring the first pair of opposing segments in contact with the first seam and maintaining a compressive force on the first seam via the first pair of opposing segments; a second roofing anchor configured to be removably secured to the first seam or to a second seam of the at least one roofing panel, the second roofing anchor including a second pair of opposing segments, the second roofing anchor secured to the second seam by closing the second roofing anchor to bring the second pair of opposing segments in contact with the second seam and maintaining a compressive force on the second seam via the second pair of opposing segments; and an attachment configured to be attached to the first roofing anchor and the second roofing anchor, the attachment including: an elongated body having a first end and a second end; a first bracket configured to be connected to the first end to attach the elongated body to the first roofing anchor, the first bracket having a first pivot structure configured to permit rotation of the elongated body about a first pivot point proximate to the first end; and a second bracket configured to be connected to the second end to attach the elongated body to the second roofing anchor, the second bracket having a second pivot structure configured to permit rotation of the elongated body about a second pivot point proximate to the second end.
