High wind roof securement device

Abstract

A new HIGH WIND ROOF SECUREMENT DEVICE for REDUCING THE RISK OF THE ROOF OF A STRUCTURE BEING BLOWN OFF DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. The inventive device includes at least one elongated rod having an upper end and a lower end. The upper end is externally threaded. The upper end extends through an aperture in an upper support of a roof of a structure. The lower end of the rod is formed with a receiving sleeve. The receiving sleeve has internal threads disposed therein. The receiving sleeve is secured to a concrete bolt extending outwardly of a foundation of the structure.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A HIGH WIND ROOF SECUREMENT DEVICE for reducing risks of a roof of a structure being blown off comprising, in combination: 
 at least one elongated rod having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being externally threaded, the upper end extending through an aperture in an upper support of a roof of a structure, the lower end of the rod being formed with a receiving sleeve, the receiving sleeve having internal threads disposed therein, the receiving sleeve secured to a concrete bolt extending outwardly of a foundation of the structure;    a gable bracket having a generally inverted U-shaped configuration, the gable bracket being defined by a pair of vertical extents with a horizontal extent therebetween, one of the vertical extents having a horizontal tab extending outwardly therefrom in an orthogonal relationship, the horizontal tab having an aperture therethrough, the aperture dimensioned for receiving the upper end of the rod therethrough, the gable bracket dimensioned for coupling with a gable of the roof of the structure; and    a truss bracket having a generally inverted U-shaped configuration, the truss bracket being defined by a pair of vertical extents with an angular extent disposed therebetween, one of the vertical extents having a horizontal tab extending outwardly therefrom in an orthogonal relationship, the horizontal tab having an aperture therethrough, the aperture dimensioned for receiving the upper end of the rod therethrough, the truss bracket dimensioned for coupling with a truss of the roof of the structure.    
     
     
         2 . A HIGH WIND ROOF SECUREMENT DEVICE comprising: 
 at least one elongated rod having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end being externally threaded, the upper end extending through an aperture in an upper support of a roof of a structure, the lower end of the rod being formed with a receiving sleeve, the receiving sleeve having internal threads disposed therein, the receiving sleeve secured to a concrete bolt extending outwardly of a foundation of the structure.    
     
     
         3 . The HIGH WIND ROOF SECUREMENT DEVICE as set forth in  claim 2  and further including a gable bracket having a generally inverted U-shaped configuration, the gable bracket being defined by a pair of vertical extents with a horizontal extent therebetween, one of the vertical extents having a horizontal tab extending outwardly therefrom in an orthogonal relationship, the horizontal tab having an aperture therethrough, the aperture dimensioned for receiving the upper end of the rod therethrough, the gable bracket dimensioned for coupling with a gable of the roof of the structure.  
     
     
         4 . The HIGH WIND ROOF SECUREMENT DEVICE as set forth in  claim 2  and further including a truss bracket having a generally inverted U-shaped configuration, the truss bracket being defined by a pair of vertical extents with an angular extent disposed therebetween, one of the vertical extents having a horizontal tab extending outwardly therefrom in an orthogonal relationship, the horizontal tab having an aperture therethrough, the aperture dimensioned for receiving the upper end of the rod therethrough, the truss bracket dimensioned for coupling with a truss of the roof of the structure.
