Roof fascia with extension cleat
View Patent ↗A roof edging system includes an anchor bar, an extension cleat attachable to the anchor bar, and a cover plate applied over the anchor bar and extension cleat. The anchor bar may be of a generally uniform size and shape and the extension cleat may be of varying sizes. The anchor bar and extension cleat are secured to the exterior of the building using fasteners inserted through a number of apertures in each member. The engagement of the anchor bar with the roof provides a waterproof seal between a roofing membrane placed on the roof and the anchor bar. The extension cleat provides a means to vary the overall length of the assembly. A durable cover plate may then be attached over the anchor bar and extension cleat to provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the periphery of the roof of the building.

an engagement portion being formed on the other end of said anchor bar, a second engagement flange being formed on the other end of said cover plate, said second engagement flange being retained by said engagement portion.
4. An assembly for sealing and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the periphery of a roof of claim 1 , wherein:
one end of said anchor cleat being offset from said anchor cleat to provide clearance for said engagement flange.
5. An assembly for sealing and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the periphery of a roof, the assembly comprising:
an anchor bar having a vertical portion, the vertical portion of the anchor bar being secured parallel to a vertical portion of a building over a roof membrane, said roof membrane disposed between the vertical portion of the anchor bar and building, a sealing flange extending from said anchor bar, a locking flange being formed on substantially one end of said anchor bar;
an anchor cleat being retained adjacent to a vertical portion of the building, a locking tab being formed on substantially one end of said anchor cleat, said locking tab being retained by said locking flange, said anchor cleat not extending above a top of said anchor bar, a substantial portion of a length of said anchor cleat extending below said anchor bar; and
a cover plate being retained adjacent to said anchor cleat and said anchor bar.
6. An assembly for sealing and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the periphery of a roof of claim 5 , wherein:
a first engagement flange being formed on one end of said cover plate, said first engagement flange being engaged with said anchor cleat.
7. An assembly for sealing and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the periphery of a roof of claim 6 , wherein:
an engagement portion being formed on the other end of said anchor bar, a second engagement flange being formed on the other end of said cover plate, said second engagement flange being retained by said engagement portion.
8. An assembly for sealing and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the periphery of a roof of claim 6 , wherein:
one end of said anchor cleat being offset from said anchor cleat to provide clearance for said engagement flange.
9. An assembly for sealing and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the periphery of a roof, the assembly comprising:
an anchor bar having a vertical portion, the vertical portion of the anchor bar being secured parallel to a vertical portion of a building over a roof membrane, said roof membrane disposed between the vertical portion of the anchor bar and building, a sealing flange extending from said anchor bar, a locking flange being formed on said anchor bar;
an anchor cleat being retained adjacent to a vertical portion of the building, a locking tab being formed on said anchor cleat, said locking tab being retained by said locking flange, said anchor cleat not extending above a top of said anchor bar, a substantial portion of a length of said anchor cleat extending below said anchor bar; and
a cover plate being retained adjacent to said anchor cleat and said anchor bar.
10. An assembly for sealing and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the periphery of a roof of claim 9 , wherein:
