Abstract
A spacer (100) for providing space between a first roof member (110) and a second roof member (120), where the spacer limits compression of an insulator (130), the insulator (130) being at least partially between the first roof member (110) and the second roof member (120).
Claims21
A spacer for providing space between a first roof member and a second roof member, the spacer comprising:
- (a) a supporting base;
- (b) a supporting leg extending from the supporting base;
- and,
- (c) a penetration for allowing an attaching means to pass through the supporting base and first roof member to fix the supporting leg to the second roof member,
- wherein the spacer limits compression of an insulator, the insulator being at least partially between the first roof member and the second roof member.
A roof support bracket, the roof support bracket including:
- (a) an elongate body;
- and,
- (b) a spacer attached to and extending from the elongate body;
- wherein the roof support bracket is provided between a first roof member and a second roof member, to provide a space between the first roof member and the second roof member such that there is no compression of an insulator between the first roof member and the second roof member, allowing the insulator to recover to its full nominal thickness between the first and second roof member.
A roof clip, the roof clip being provided between a first roof member and a second roof member, the roof clip including a spacer, the spacer being provided between the roof clip and the second roof member, thereby providing a space between the roof clip and the second roof member such that compression of an insulator between the first roof member and the second roof member is eliminated.
A method of providing space between a first roof member and a second roof member, the method comprising the steps of:
- placing a spacer between the first roof member and the second roof member, the spacer being configured to limit compression of an insulator, the insulator being at least partially between the first roof member and the second roof member.
A method of constructing a roof, the method comprising providing a spacer between a first roof member and a second roof member, the spacer being configured to limit compression of an insulator, the insulator being at least partially between the first roof member and the second roof member.
