  • Publication number: 20230358269
    Abstract: A roof-mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof includes a base having an open top, an open bottom, and an outer perimeter structure. An internal reservoir of the device is in communication with the open top and the open bottom, and a mount plate is disposed in the internal reservoir extending between opposed ends of the outer perimeter structure. A bore is formed in the mount plate below the top of the base, the bore for receiving a fastener for fastening the mounting device at the roof penetration. When the bore receives the fastener therein, the internal reservoir is unsevered, remaining in communication with the open top and open bottom of the base.

  • Publication number: 20210230861
    Abstract: A mounting device including a base having an open bottom, a longitudinal axis, and a linear guide on the base. The linear guide guides support hardware in linear movement along the longitudinal axis. An internal cavity is under the base for containing a sealant against and in cooperation with a roof when the mounting device is secured to the roof. An opening is though the base is for receiving a fastener when the mounting device is secured to the roof. The opening is in communication with the internal cavity. The linear guide extends beyond the internal cavity.

  • Publication number: 20200378110
    Abstract: In various representative aspects, the present invention relates generally to a system and apparatuses for sealing a structural attachment to a flat or shingle roof. More specifically, the invention relates to providing the system for sealing structural attachments for solar panel mounts for rail guides. The invention utilizes an adhesive sealant to create a permanent watertight seal at any surface penetration. The system may be used for any structural attachment, fastener, mount, or other penetration that requires sealing. Typical building applications include roof penetrations and wall penetrations for cases such as roof vents, structural attachment, conduit or pipe penetrations, or electrical mounts to name a few.

  • Publication number: 20200340519
    Abstract: A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof includes a base formed from a sheet of material. The base includes a top, a bottom, a socket depending from the top toward the bottom, and an outer perimeter structure encircling the socket and depending downward from the top to the bottom. An internal reservoir is defined between the top and bottom of the base for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof. The internal reservoir includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The upper cavity is bound within the socket. The lower cavity continuously encircles the socket and extends both below the socket and between the socket and the outer perimeter structure.
