ABSTRACT:
A roof membrane anchoring system in accordance with the present invention includes an anchoring plate with a substantially planar bottom surface and convexly radiused top surface that can be attached to an existing structure. The anchoring plate is disk-shaped and has a cylindrical axial opening in the center into which a lip and a bottom flange extend to form a channel. A cap with a resilient cylindrical body having V-shaped flanges at the bottom and either a disk or ring attached to the top is inserted into the anchoring plate once a roofing membrane is inserted into the axial opening in the plate. The resilient cylindrical body has a cylindrical cavity therein and compression cuts which extend through the body and to the V-shaped flange to allow for the resilient body to assume a first state wherein the greatest diametrical dimension of the resilient cylindrical body and the V-shaped flange is slightly less than the inside diameter of the lip extending into the axial opening. These compression cuts then allow the body to expand to a first state wherein diametrical dimension of the resilient body is slightly less than the inside diameter of the lip which extends into the axial opening. One modification of the anchoring system is to use a plug which may be inserted into the cap after the cap has assumed its first state so that the cap is locked into the first state and cannot inadvertently be removed from the anchoring plate.
