Abstract
A new roof panel mounting system for securing to an underlying roof support structure to preclude leaking. The inventive device includes a sheet of plywood secured to a support structure of a house. A sheet of insulation material is positionable on the sheet of plywood. A sheet of paneling is positionable on the sheet of insulation material. The sheet of paneling has a plurality of ridges extending upwardly therefrom. The sheet of paneling is coupled with respect to the sheet of plywood and the sheet of insulation material.

A roof panel mounting system comprising, in combination:
- a sheet of plywood secured to a support structure of a house;
- a sheet of insulation material positioned on the sheet of plywood, the sheet of insulation material having a thickness greater than a thickness of the plywood;
- a sheet of paneling positioned on the sheet of insulation material, the sheet of paneling having a plurality of ridges extending upwardly therefrom, each of the ridges having a generally trapezoidal configuration, the sheet of paneling having planar portions intermittently disposed between the plurality of ridges, each of the planar portions having an upper surface and a lower surface, each lower surface having a chamber extending downwardly therefrom;
- and
- coupling means coupling the chambers of the sheet of paneling with respect to the sheet of plywood and the sheet of insulation material, the coupling means including bolts having enlarged upper ends positioned within the chambers, the bolts having shafts extending outwardly of the chambers and extending through the sheet of insulation material and the sheet of plywood, washers disposed on free ends of the shafts, nuts coupling with free ends of the shafts for securement of the sheet of paneling with respect to the sheet of plywood and the sheet of insulation material.
A roof panel mounting system comprising, in combination:
- a sheet of plywood secured to a support structure of a house;
- a sheet of insulation material positioned on the sheet of plywood;
- a sheet of paneling positioned on the sheet of insulation material, the sheet of paneling having a plurality of ridges extending upwardly therefrom;
- and
- coupling means coupling the sheet of paneling with respect to the sheet of plywood and the sheet of insulation material, wherein the coupling means includes tabs extending downwardly from a lower surface of the sheet of paneling through the sheet of insulation material and the sheet of plywood, each of the tabs having an aperture therethrough for receiving a sliding fastener.
A roof panel mounting system comprising, in combination:
- a sheet of plywood secured to a support structure of a house;
- a sheet of insulation material positioned on the sheet of plywood;
- a sheet of paneling positioned on the sheet of insulation material, the sheet of paneling having a plurality of ridges extending upwardly therefrom;
- and
- coupling means coupling the sheet of paneling with respect to the sheet of plywood and the sheet of insulation material, wherein the coupling means includes a flared spike extending downwardly from a lower surface of the sheet of paneling through the sheet of insulation material and the sheet of plywood.
