AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing snow retention devices for sloping roofs are ineffective on roofs with steep slopes, as their performance decreases significantly with increasing roof angles.
Method used
A snow retention device featuring two legs that rest on ribs, a tilted stop plate extending between the legs to form an acute angle with the roof slope, and optional features like a bib and flap to enhance snow holding capabilities.
Benefits of technology
The device effectively retains snow on roofs with slopes ranging from fifteen to fifty degrees and beyond, ensuring safety by preventing snowpack collapse.

Abstract
Device for retaining snow on a roof. The invention relates to a device 1 for retaining snow on a steel sheet roof 2, comprising a stop plate 8 extending between two ribs 3 of the sheet 2 above a groove 4 formed by the sheet between these two ribs, this plate being inclined so that in the operating position it forms a stop angle in the direction P of the slope of the sheet and having an upstream face against which snow can accumulate.
