Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A standing seam roof panel joint assembly for standing seam roofs includes a pair of upstanding seam forming mating walls at the side edges of adjacent roof panels which may be interlocked and embraced by a cap strip. These walls of each panel are formed with opposed complementary pockets located substantially the same dis-tance down from their upper ends, adjacent reversely bent contiguous wall sections which are embraced by the cap strip. Mastic or "hot melt" beads of predetermined volume are disposed in the pocket in each wall section, and dis-tributed when the pockets are deformed during the seaming operation in which the seam forming edges are interlocked.

1 The present invention relates to standing seam
2 roof constructions of the type used on various buildings, for example, on rectangular metal buildings which have 4 spaced beam members arranged to form a roof having a ridge at the longitudinal centerline thereof, and spaced purlins ~ spanning the beams to which the roof panels are secured.
r 8 Various methods of erecting such standing seam ~ roof structures, and various roof panel assemblies such as those of the type illustrated in United States patents 11 4,168,596 and 4,106,250 have been proposed and various 12 panel systems such as shown in U. S. patents 4,155,209;

3,535,844; and 3,667,180 have employed factory applied 14 mastic as a water-proofing material. None of these prior constructions, however, have the combined attributes of 1~ the standing seam roof panel assemblies which presently 17 will be described.
19 The present panel assembly incorporates match-ing mastic or "hot melt" material beads on the upstanding 21 panel seaming edges, which may be applied at the factory 22 in a predetermined bead volume along a protected pocket located interjacent the ends of each of the upstanding a4 seaming edges in a predetermined location.
26 One of the prime objects of the present inven-~7 tion is to design a panel structure in which pairs of 28 adjacent panel sheets, having upstanding mating seams a~ adapted to be locked in a standing seam are so designed ~O that the roof seaming operation which deforms the assembly ' .~

. ~. . ...
i 151~830 1 extrudes the flowable mating mastic or "hot melt" material 2 strips which have been applied to the panels at the factory 3 into even the most minute crevices between the mating
4 seams, to provide a completely water-tight joint.
6 Another of the prime object of the invention is 7 to provide the mastic or "hot melt" material in the form 8 of continuous, longitudinal beads deposited in communlcat-9 ing, mating, seam pockets which protects the mastic during shipment of the panels from the factory to the job site in 11 bundles.
13 The invention contemplates placement of the mastic 14 in an optimum protected position on the upstanding seam edges 15¦ in a manner such that the generally upstanding seam edges 16 can slide against each other during transportation and erec-17 tion of the roof panels without dislodging or damaging the 18¦ mastic, the complemental mastic masses coming in contact 19 only when the cap is installed and the cap and seaming edges 20 ¦ are deformed during the seaming operation.
22 Still another object of the present invention is 23 to provide a structure which can be used at a three or four a4¦ corner panel intersection point to provide a water-tight structure and also at the ridge joint to provide a water-26 proof ridge joint.
a8¦ The invention contemplates incorporation of the a~ ¦ complementing mastic beads in the adjacent standing seam edges to be mated at a location below any notches which ¦ 1151383n 1 are made at three or four corner laps or elsewhere.
Still another object of the invention is to pro-4 vide an assembly and method of the character described wherein mastic-to-panel adhesion and mastic-to-mastic cohesion are assured because of the manner in which the 7 mastic beads are disposed in complementary relation in the 8 seam edges to be mated and then squeezed during the seam-9 ing operation.
11 A further object of the invention is to provide 12 a standing seam roof panel assembly of the character de-13 scribed which is easy and economical to erect, and can be 14 easily and reliably unitized in the field, using a rela-tively simple seaming apparatus to perform the edge seam-1~ ing operation.
18 Still another object of the invention is to 19 minimize the necessity of the field application of gun grade mastic which may be inadvertently misapplied, or not 21 applied at all, during the erection of the building.
23 Still a further object of the invention is to 24 design a symmetric roof panel of the character described 2S which will readily nest with like panels when bowed 2B slightly to "open" it up, the construction lending it to ~7 an economical form of shipment in which the panels are 28 strapped in a nested stack.

- 5 11!i8830 1 To complete the seaming operation, forces are 2 applied by the seaming machine in the lateral directions 3 "x" and "y" to the cap C seam edge portions lOb and llb, 4 and the pocket sections 12 in a squeezing operation which distributes the beads 1~ in the manner indicated in Figure ~ 5. With the curvature of the pockets 12 now deformed, as 7 at 12' (Figure 5), so that they substantially engage at 8 "z", mastic fills the spaces between the adjacent edges ~ lOa and lla both above and below the "z" area, and is further squeezed up into the area 15a at the top of the 11 joint between the upper end of the cap C and the portions 12 lOc and llc of the panel seaming edges.

14 It will be observed, from an inspection of : :
Figures 4 and 5, that the cap C, when assembled in the 1~ Figure 4 condition, has spaces 16 between the cap top and 17 the bridging sections lOc and llc to permit the deforma-`:
18 tion which is shown in Figure:5, and that, when the 19 completed standing seam joint S is formed, as shown in Figure 5, the cap side portions are in tight engagement 21 with the portions lOc and llc and the downturned walls 22 lOb and llb, over their length. When assembled by the 23 method indicated, a completely waterproof joint is pro-a4 vided which will withstand even extreme weather con-ditions.
27. Figure 2 illustrates a typical clip assembly a8 A such as, for instance, may be used to tie the standing a~ seams S to the purlins P at spaced intervals along the seams S. Here, the metal tie strip 17 has tabs 17a and " ~

1 17b which are bent reversely to envelop panel edge portions 2 lOc, lOb and llc, llb. The lower end of the tie strip 17 extends through an opening 18 provided in base clip part 4 19 and is provided with retainer loops 17c. Figure 2 is S an exploded view taken before cap assembly and seaming have ~ taken place and is illustrative only of a construction r which could be used.

In a prefabricated roof panel assembly for forming standing seams and the like; a pair of adjacent roof panel sheets, each of which has an up-standing seam forming edge which is adjacent to the other so as to provide matable portions; each edge including a wall formed with a mastic containing pocket therein, open to the adjacent edge; the pocket mastic groove being deformable to urge the mastic against the adjacent seam forming edge so as to ad-hesively unite it therewith in an assembled mode of the roof panel assembly; and means for holding the two seam forming edges adjacent to each other in the assembled mode; each seam forming edge pocket being at substantially the same distance down from its upper end, the pockets being oppositely disposed and having a mastic or hot melt bead of predetermined volume therein.
23. The assembly of claim 22 in which the means for holding the seam forming edges includes a cap with top and side walls for embracing the seam forming edges, the cap side walls being deformable laterally inwardly to a position holding the seam forming edges together.
24. The assembly of claim 23 wherein each seam forming edge has a reversely bent contiguous wall ex-tending downwardly from a curvilinear bridging portion connecting it with the wall having the pocket, and the cap side walls have laterally inturned edges which extend under said reversely bent walls.
25. In a prefabricated roof panel assembly for forming standing seams and the like; a pair of adjacent sheets, each of which has an upstanding seam forming edge which is adjacent the other so as to provide matable portions; at least one edge including a wall formed with a pocket therein at a spaced distance down from its upper end; a mastic or hot melt bead of pre-determined volume disposed in the pocket; and means incorporated with the sheets for holding the seam forming edges in locked adjacent relation; the pocket in the seam forming edge of the one sheet being deformable laterally in a direction toward the other sheet when a predetermined pressure is applied thereto to cause mastic to be delivered from the pocket to spaces between the seam forming edges to form a seal.
26. The assembly of claim 25 in which the means for holding the seam forming edges in locked relation includes a cap with top and side walls for embracing the seam forming edges, the side walls being deformable under said pressure laterally inwardly to a position locking the seam forming edges together.
27. The assembly of claim 26 wherein each seam forming edge has a reversely bent contiguous wall ex-tending downwardly from a curvilinear bridging portion connecting it with the wall having the pocket, and the cap side walls have laterally inturned edges which extend under said reversely bent walls.
28. The assembly of claim 25 in which each seam forming edge has a pocket at substantially the same distance down from its upper end, the pockets being oppositely disposed and each having a mastic or hot melt bead of predetermined volume therein; there being roof support structure beneath said panel sheets and clips for connecting the seam and roof support structure extending up between said pockets at spaced intervals.
