ABSTRACT:
A roof tile fastening arrangement secures each of a plurality of concrete roof tiles, disposed in side-by-side relation, to a birdstop mounted adjacent the lower edge of a roof support structure, by a plurality of clips extending between and secured to the side edges of the tiles and to the birdstop. Each of the clips has an upper curved lip portion extending over the side edge of an associated one of the tiles. In a first embodiment, each of the clips has a lower hook portion which hooks to a different one of a plurality of drain slots adjacent the base of the birdstop. The clip is made of resilient material and has a curved body portion which may be flexed to facilitate installation of the clip and which then assumes the curved configuration to hold the clip in tension between the side edge of the associated tile and the associated drain slot in the birdstop. The clip is of thin, planar configuration and is twisted so that the upper curved lip portion forms an essentially right angle relationship with the intermediate portion. In a second embodiment, each of the clips has a body portion extending through and secured within a different one of a plurality of apertures in the birdstop. The body portion extends through a reverse curve and has a plurality of notches in a surface thereof to facilitate engagement in the aperture within the birdstop. The body portion is of generally round cross-sectional configuration and the upper curved lip portion is of generally flat, planar cross-sectional configuration.
