Publication number: 20240052875Abstract: Embodiments include a mounting assembly for securing a supported element to a wall structure at a distance from the wall, and configured to surround a moly bolt fastener head protruding from the wall and form a moisture seal surrounding the fastener head. The mounting assembly comprises an elongated body with an inner passageway extending between first and second ends and an inner void area configured to cover a fastener head on the wall surface. The inner passageway receives a bolt securing the mounting assembly to the wall structure, and a bottom ring gasket surrounding the inner passageway is positioned to engage the wall surface to form a moisture barrier surrounding the inner passageway. A shank gasket has a central opening aligned with the inner passageway and is configured to form a moisture seal of the shank portion of the bolt inserted to attach the assembly to the wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2022Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventor: James Tjerrild

Publication number: 20060186278Abstract: Have invented a new strut system designed for the attachment of pipes, conduit, and tubes to vertical and horizontal surfaces in a sanitary manner. The mounting of pipes, conduits or tubes in an environment that demands a high level of sanitation, (i.e.; food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing) is best accomplished through the use of my invention. Unlike strut systems currently available, my strut system repels contaminants, is easy to inspect, and easy to clean.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2005Publication date: August 24, 2006Inventor: James Tjerrild

Publication number: 20060178246Abstract: Wall-mounted type and trapeze type support strut assemblies attach pipes, conduit, and tubes to vertical and horizontal surfaces in a sanitary manner. The strut assemblies repel contaminants, are easy to inspect, and easy to clean. Structures to provide seismic stability to trapeze type support strut assemblies may also be used.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2005Publication date: August 10, 2006Inventor: James Tjerrild
