ABSTRACT:
Support structure for holding a plurality of roof panels during assembly of a standing seam roof on a prefabricated building including a spacer block having an elongated body with predetermined shaped ends thereon. In one embodiment one end is of square configuration and the other end is of compound tapered configuration. In another embodiment the end of square configuration is provided with a projecting tenon thereon for positive engagement with inside flanges of a roof panel yoke fastening/retainer clip. In a modification of this embodiment, pre-formed notches or recesses are provided for ease in installation of this end with the roof panel fastening/retainer clip. The other end of the spacer block having a pointed configuration may be of compound tapered form, conical form, semi-elliptical or oval form, or a combination of these described shapes. Also, the end may be completely rounded or semi-rounded with a blunt tip.
In one embodiment of the invention, the spacer block is of elongated rectangular configuration with its length many times longer than the overall width thereof. In a further modification the spacer block is of oxbow configuration to provide maximum support upon a double flanged supporting roof purlin. Either the rectangular configuration or the oxbow configured spacer block can be provided with any of the previously described ends in any desired combination thereof.
Preferably, each spacer block is made of lightweight, insulating type material. A pattern for cutting same from a large piece of material, and the method of installation of the support structures, are also part of the present invention.
