ABSTRACT:
The invention herein is directed to an improved apparatus used for facilitating the process of securing roof coverings, such as rubber roof sheets to the upper surface of a roof deck, particularly on high-rise buildings. The subject apparatus is adapted to directly and simply weigh down, by its own weight alone, portions of the upper surface area of a roof covering sheet so that the covering sheet cannot be blown up and away from the roof deck. The structure encompassed herein includes an open box-like container, with individual vertically disposed compartments. These latter compartments are adapted to contain cement, stones or other heavy fill so as to cause the filled structure to be heavy enough to weigh down the roof covering.
