A coating cover with a metal structure for roofs of buildings comprises a plurality of slabs of substantially quadrilateral shape, each of which is provided with lateral edges that are parallel and opposite to one another for mutual connection between adjacent slabs in a longitudinal direction and for formation of a joint positioned between each of the adjacent slabs. The lateral edges comprise a first set of folds at least partially symmetrical on the two edges. The lateral edges also include a second set of folds on at least one of the lateral edges, and a third set of folds on at least one other lateral edge. The lateral edges comprise at least one curvature at one of the first set of folds placed horizontal and parallel to the installation base. The cover also has at least one fixing bracket that is configured to join the lateral edges.

A clip for electrically bonding a pair of adjacently-disposed metal panels is disclosed. One embodiment entails such a clip (104) including a first clip member (112) and an oppositely disposed second clip member (116). The surface (114) of the first clip member (112) that faces the second clip member (116) includes at least one grounding projection (128), while the surface (118) of the second clip member (116) that faces the first clip member (112) also includes at least one grounding projection (128). The clip (104) may be installed on a standing seam (102) of a panel assembly (100), with its first clip member (112) engaging one of the metal panels 82″ that define this stand seam (102) and with its second clip member (116) engaging the other of the metal panels 82″ that define this same standing seam (102).

A mounting device (10) is disclosed having a one-piece body (11). A slot (20) extends into this body (11), and is defined by a slot base (22) and a pair of spaced slot sidewalls (24a, 24b) that each extend from the slot base (22). The slot sidewalls (24a, 24b) are disposed in non-parallel relation to each other.

An interlocking panel system for covering a base surface with interlocking panels to prevent water ingress is provided. A first panel includes a sheet-like section, a receptacle connected to the sheet-like section, a first projection and a second projection. An interlock includes an interlock hook portion and an interlock receiving portion with the interlock configured to be inserted into the receptacle of the first panel and at least one of the interlock hook portion or the receptacle preventing the interlock from being withdrawn from the first panel. A second panel includes a sheet-like portion and a second panel hook portion configured to be inserted into the interlock receiving portion and engage with the second projection of the first panel. At least one of the second panel hook portion or the second projection preventing the second panel from being withdrawn from the first panel and/or interlock.
