  • Patent number: 11473700
    Abstract: A clamp includes first and second bands, a pair of strut attachment legs, a screw, and a screw housing. Each band has a first end and a second end. The first band defines slots extending across a width thereof and disposed adjacent to the second end thereof. Each strut attachment leg is fixed to the first end of one of the bands. The screw housing receives the second ends of the bands and captures the screw while allowing the screw to rotate. The clamp secures a tube to a strut when the clamp is placed over the tube, the strut attachment legs are positioned relative to the strut so that notches in the strut attachment legs receive at least one of the flanges on the strut, and the screw is rotated to draw the first band further into the screw housing and thereby tighten the clamp around the tube.

  • Patent number: 10428526
    Abstract: A rooftop support system including at least one support block. The support block includes a base configured to rest on the rooftop, and the base has a first base section and a second base section separated by a U-shaped recess that defines a first gripping feature. The support block includes first and second sidewalls unitary with the base and extending along a length of the support block, and the first and second sidewalls each define a second gripping feature. The support block also includes third and fourth sidewalls unitary with the base and extending along a width of the support block, and the third and fourth sidewalls each define a third gripping feature. An upper surface of the support block defines an elongate channel, and a pair of apertures are formed in the elongate channel with a coupling feature embedded therein.
