ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to an attachment assembly for securing two membrane strips loosely laid parallel to each other and overlapping with each other. The attachment assembly incorporates a load distribution plate having short and long lateral lever-arm extension means and a bore hole defined in the plate, a fastener screw operatively connected to the load distribution plate through the bore hole, and a fastener screw operatively connected to the load distribution plate through the bore hole. The short and long lateral lever-arm extension means of the plate extend in directions relative to the fastener screw. The short lateral lever arm extension means operates with forces due to the billowing of the roofing membrane so as to uplift a long edge of the load distribution plate and thereby introduce a first force corresponding to a lever arm ratio at the long lateral lever arm extension means at an area opposite to the bore hole. The long lateral lever arm extension means operates with the first force such that the first force generates a pinching action between the roofing membrane and the load distribution plate.
