20220316225 · 2022-10-06 ·

The present disclosure provides two exemplary, non-limiting embodiments of a roof access system comprising a roof anchor assembly for providing one or more users thereof with supplemental stabilization while traversing a sloped rooftop. The roof anchor assembly comprises two or more eave anchors, a ridge plate, and two or more safety lines. The roof anchor assembly is designed to be used on structures comprising roofs which further comprise a ridge and two or more eaves. The two or more eave anchors are installed at eaves on opposing sides of the structure and the ridge plate is placed at the ridge in between the two eave anchors. Each eave anchor is designed to be engaged when the user is traversing the sloped rooftop on the opposing side of the ridge relative to the side that the eave anchor is installed.

NON-PENETRATING ROOF SAFETY SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF INSTALLATION AND USE FOR SLOPED ROOFTOPS
20220314045 · 2022-10-06 ·

An improved roof safety system allows temporary installation without damaging the roof or building by using non-penetrating C-shaped anchors to hook onto eaves on opposing sides of the roof with the anchors connected by a single, continuous anchor line under tension. Installation of primary components do not require a user to access the roof, as they may be installed from the ground or a ladder position. Slidable anchors connectable to an anchor line and lifeline allow free movement along the line in a first direction and block movement in a second opposite direction, allowing a user to anchor to the line at a selected position and then securely move about the roof's surface in an area generally disposed in the second direction while being protected from a fall. An optional wedge-stopper can aid in single-user installation.

20220112734 · 2022-04-14 ·

A roof attachment system and methods of using same during the installation, maintenance, or repair of a roof on a commercial or residential building structure. The roof attachment system and the related methods of using and implementing the system include, among other things, an anchor or internal support assembly, and a hook or securement assembly. The roof attachment system enables the installer to utilize at least one internal support assembly, or at least one internal support assembly and the securement assembly to install the roof, depending upon the installation stage of the roof. Upon completion of the installation process, the roof includes multiple concealed internal support assemblies that provide multiple anchor points that are spaced an appreciable distance apart along the ridgeline of the roof. When the roof requires maintenance or repair, the securement assembly can be removably coupled to a specific internal support assembly to facilitate the maintenance or repair by a technician while also reducing the chances that the technician experiences a fall from the roof.
