Method And Apparatus For Insulating Building Roofs From Above

US Patent:
6832460, Dec 21, 2004
Filed:
Feb 18, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/369409
Inventors:
Robert E. Fligg - West Des Moines IA 50265
International Classification:
E04G 2100
US Classification:
5274611, 5274506, 524073, 524074
Abstract:
There are advantages to installing roof insulation in industrial and commercial buildings from above, rather than from below after the roof is sealed. A reinforced facing sheet is used that is rolled out between purlins. This facing material is used to support the insulation from below. The facing sheet is anchored to reduce pillowing of the insulation. The anchoring system for the facing material comprises a metal angle, firmly affixed to the top of a rafter between purlins. The facing material is sandwiched between the angle and the rafter, and anchored. A channel-shaped lower support member is located beneath the facing material and the angle is pressed, from above, into the open part of the channel shape as it is situated on top if the rafter. Consequently, the facing material is also pressed into the lower support member, thus holding the facing material at the correct elevation.

Insulation Supporting Strip And Holding Bracket For Receiving It

US Patent:
5636487, Jun 10, 1997
Filed:
Feb 20, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/604077
Inventors:
Robert E. Fligg - West Des Moines IA
International Classification:
E04B 174
US Classification:
524045
Abstract:
A method of installing insulation under a pre-existing roof of a building of a type having a spaced apart structural beams standing in one direction under the roof and a plurality of spaced apart elongated purlins extending transversely to the structural beams and being supported by the structural beams. Purlin clips are used which connect to the purlins at the top and to a lower support member at the bottom thereof. The method includes installing an upper support member across from one to the other of an adjacent pair of purlins. An upper strip of insulation is positioned between adjacent pairs of purlins above the upper support member whereby the strip of insulation will be supported by the upper support member. A lower strip of insulation is attached at one end into one of the structural beams, under the upper layer of insulation, and to the other of the structural beams at the other end thereof. A lower support member is then attached between adjacent purlin clips and under the lower strip of insulation for supporting the under side of the lower strip of insulation.

Connecting Apparatus For The Installation Of Insulation In Buildings

US Patent:
5535560, Jul 16, 1996
Filed:
Feb 27, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/394905
Inventors:
Robert E. Fligg - West Des Moines IA
International Classification:
E04B 100
US Classification:
52222
Abstract:
A method of installing insulation under a pre-existing roof of a building of a type having a spaced apart structural beams standing in one direction under the roof and a plurality of spaced apart elongated purlins extending transversely to the structural beams and being supported by the structural beams. Perlin clips are used which connect to the perlins at the top and to a lower support member at the bottom thereof. The method includes installing an upper support member across from one to the other of an adjacent pair of perlins. An upper strip of insulation is positioned between adjacent pairs of perlins above the upper support member whereby the strip of insulation will be supported by the upper support member. A lower strip of insulation is attached at one end into one of the structural beams, under the upper layer of insulation, and to the other of the structural beams at the other end thereof. A lower support member is then attached between adjacent perlin clips and under the lower strip of insulation for supporting the under side of the lower strip of insulation.

Anchoring Apparatus For Insulating Building Roofs From Above

US Patent:
7254928, Aug 14, 2007
Filed:
Nov 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/989926
Inventors:
Robert E. Fligg - West Des Moines IA, US
International Classification:
E04D 15/00, E04F 21/00, E04G 21/14
US Classification:
5274912, 524073, 5274611, 524074
Abstract:
There are several advantages to installing roof insulation in industrial and commercial buildings from above, rather than from below after the roof is sealed. A reinforced facing sheet is used that can be rolled out between the purlins that support the steel roofing. This reinforced facing material is located at the bottom of an insulation system and is used to support the insulation from below. The reinforced facing sheet must be anchored to reduce pillowing of the insulation and provide a neat appearance to the insulation job. The anchoring system for the reinforced facing material is made up of a metal angle that is firmly affixed to the top of a rafter between purlins. The reinforced facing material is, thus, sandwiched between the angle and the rafter top, and securely anchored, there. A channel-shaped lower support member, usually vinyl, is located beneath the reinforced facing material and the angle is pressed, from above, into the open part of the channel shape as it is situated on top if the rafter. Consequently, the reinforced facing material is also pressed into the lower support member, thus holding the reinforced facing material at the correct elevation.
