ABSTRACT:
A roof tile clip for securing a roof tile to a roof structure has an elongated body portion secured at a lower end such as through a base portion extending from the body portion to the roof structure and a lip portion at an opposite upper end thereof extending over and engaging a side edge of the roof tile. The lip portion is inclined relative to the body portion by an amount approximately equal to the amount of inclination of the roof tile relative to the roof structure to provide a close, relatively conforming fit of the lip portion with the side edge of the roof tile. The clip is made from a single piece of aluminum. The lip portion is further configured to provide a conforming fit over a ridge at the roof tile's side edge, and includes a neck portion an an acute angle to the body portion so as to fit flat against an angled flat surface at the side of the roof tiles, an intermediate portion extending from the neck-portion and a terminal portion extending from the intermediate portion. The intermediate and terminal portions extend over and around and are configured to conform to the shape of the ridge and adjacent recess configuration of the side edge of the roof tile.
