First Claim
1. An adjustable insulation system for metal buildings or the like in which beams serve as the support for a metal roof sheet, comprising:
- (a) a series of parallel spaced support units secured to said beams, each comprising a longitudinally extending first member and a longitudinally extending second member,(b) said first and said second members being longitudinally adjustable relative to each other,(c) said first and said second members each having one end supported by said beams and their other ends in contact engagement,(d) said first and said second members having substantially the same cross-sectional configuration and in mating contact engagement at said other ends,(e) means for securing said other ends in adjustable relation,(f) said means having a partial wrap-around configuration for securing said other ends against vertical displacement,(g) means for connecting said beams to said first and said second members to prevent lateral displacement of said members on said beams,(h) said first members having substantial length relative to said second members,(i) said securing means being substantially shorter in length than said second members, and(j) insulation positioned and supported by said first and said second members.

Abstract
An adjustable roof insulation system for metal buildings or the like in which beams serve as the support for a metal roof sheet comprising a series of parallel spaced support units secured to the beams, each comprising a longitudinally extending first member and a longitudinally extending second member, the first and the second members being longitudinally adjustable relative to each other, the first and the second members each having one end supported by the beams and their other ends in contact engagement, the first and the second members having substantially the same cross-sectional configuration and in mating contact engagement at the other ends, means for securing the other ends in adjustable relation, the means having a partial wrap-around configuration for securing the other ends against vertical displacement, means for connecting the beams to the first and the second members to prevent lateral displacement of the members on the beams, the first member having substantial length relative to the second member, the securing means being substantially shorter in length than the second members, and insulation positioned and supported by the first and the second members.
