Roof anchoring system

Abstract

ABSTRACT The present disclosure pertains to a roof anchoring system designed to enhance the structural resilience of buildings and prevent roof uplift during severe weather conditions such as storms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. The system addresses the need for a cost-effective, easily installable solution that can integrate with existing roof structures or new roof builds, thereby providing greater rigidity, among other benefits. Components include a base affixed to a bearing wall, a vertical reinforcement member extending from the base, radius arms connected to the vertical reinforcement member via angular adjustment members, and radius brackets securing the radius arms to the roof rafters and timber walls/sheeting.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A roof anchoring system comprising:
 a base configured and dimensioned to affix to a bearing wall;   said base operatively connected to a vertical reinforcement member;   said vertical reinforcement member configured and dimensioned to receive at least one angular adjustment member;   said at least one angular adjustment member operatively connected to a radius arm; and   said radius arm configured and dimensioned to operatively connect to a radius bracket.   
     
     
         2 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 1  wherein said base, said vertical reinforcement member, said at least one angular adjustment member, said radius arm, and said radius bracket are composed of steel. 
     
     
         3 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 1  wherein said base comprises at least one aperture configured and dimensioned to receive at least one bolt. 
     
     
         4 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 3  further comprising at least one threaded rod configured and dimensioned to remain nestled within a bearing wall and configured to connect to at least one turn buckle. 
     
     
         5 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 4  wherein said at least one turn buckle is configured and dimensioned to remain nestled within a bearing wall, configured and dimensioned to receive said at least one threaded rod, and configured and dimensioned to receive said at least one bolt. 
     
     
         6 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 5  wherein said at least one threaded rod, said at least one turn buckle, and said at least one bolt is configured and dimensioned to affix and anchor said base to a bearing wall. 
     
     
         7 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 1  wherein said vertical reinforcement member is operatively connected to said base at a perpendicular orientation thereto. 
     
     
         8 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 1  wherein said vertical reinforcement member comprises at least one guide track and at least one aperture. 
     
     
         9 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 8  wherein said at least one guide track of said vertical reinforcement member is configured and dimensioned to receive said at least one angular adjustment member. 
     
     
         10 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 9  wherein said at least one angular adjustment member is selectably positioned between a tensioned position and an un-tensioned position. 
     
     
         11 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 10  wherein said at least one angular adjustment can move about said at least one guide track of said vertical reinforcement member when said at least one angular adjustment member is in an un-tensioned position. 
     
     
         12 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 10  wherein said at least one angular adjustment is restricted from moving about said at least one guide track of said vertical reinforcement member when said at least one angular adjustment member is in a tensioned position. 
     
     
         13 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 10  wherein said radius arm is rotatable about said at least one angular adjustment member when said at least one angular adjustment member is in an un-tensioned position. 
     
     
         14 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 10  wherein said radius arm is barred from rotating about said at least one angular adjustment member when said at least one angular adjustment member is in a tensioned position. 
     
     
         15 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 1  wherein said radius bracket further comprises at least one semi-circular channel configured and dimensioned to allow said radius arm to connect to said radius bracket. 
     
     
         16 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 1  wherein said radius bracket further comprises at least one sheeting channel to allow said radius arm to connect to sheeting. 
     
     
         17 . The roof anchoring system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one wing bracket configured and dimensioned to secure a rafter to sheeting.
