  • Patent number: 11608935
    Abstract: A width adjustable bracket for a metal roof includes a bolt, a top bracket and a bottom bracket. The top bracket has a flat surface with a slot for receiving the bolt. The flat surface is sized to receive an L bracket. A bottom bracket has a flat portion with a threaded hole for receiving the bolt. The width adjustable bracket is assembled by placing the bolt though the slot of the top bracket and the bolt being secured to the threaded hole of the bottom bracket. Once the bolt is placed through the top bracket, and placed in the threaded hole of the bottom bracket, the slot in the top bracket allows adjustment of a width of the width-adjustable bracket until the bolt is tightened into the threaded hole of the bottom bracket.

  • Patent number: 11536032
    Abstract: A tile replacement flashing is used with a tile hook. A bottom tile replacement flashing is shaped for placement on a lower portion of a location where a tile is removed from a roof. A top tile replacement flashing is shaped for placement on an upper portion of a location where the tile is removed from the roof. The top tile replacement flashing includes an elevated region at a lower portion of the top tile replacement flashing, the elevated region. The bottom tile replacement flashing is shaped so that after attachment of the bottom tile replacement flashing on the roof, the tile hook can be attached to a rafter of the roof, the attached tile hook extending over an upper portion of the bottom tile replacement flashing and having a portion that, past the upper portion of the bottom tile replacement flashing, extends upwards.

  • Patent number: 11408555
    Abstract: An adjustable bracket for a metal roof includes a bolt and a top platform with a hole sized to receive the bolt. The top platform provides a flat surface on which can be attached an L bracket. A left bracket has a curved portion with a slot for receiving the bolt. A right bracket has a curved portion with a slot for receiving the bolt. A bottom nut is sized to fit and secure the bolt. Once the top platform, the slot in the left bracket and the slot in the right bracket receive the bolt, the slot in left bracket and the slot in right bracket allow adjustment of an angle of attachment of the angle-adjustable bracket to the metal roof, until the bolt is tightened by the bottom nut.

  • Patent number: 10270385
    Abstract: A module connector connects a first solar module to a second solar module. A first part of the module connector includes a top component having a top flange that is slightly tilted lower at a tip of the top flange. A bottom component has a hook-shaped end that is shaped to slide and enclose an inner side of a module frame bottom of the first solar module. A first fastener is used to secure the first solar panel module between the top component and the bottom component. A second part of the module connector includes a top component having a top flange that is slightly tilted lower at a tip of the top flange. A bottom component of the second part has a hook-shaped end that is shaped to slide and enclose an inner side of a module frame bottom of the second solar module. A second fastener is used to secure the second solar panel module between the top component and the bottom component of the second part. A third fastener fastens the top component of the first part to the bottom component of the second part.

  • Patent number: 8713858
    Abstract: A roof attachment flashing system for preventing water penetration when utilizing an L-foot to attach a structure to a roof. The roof attachment flashing system generally includes a flashing member which is adapted to be utilized to seal penetrations of a roof which are necessitated by the installation of an L-foot for securing a roof attachment such as solar panels to the roof. The flashing member includes a receiver member at its first end which includes a raised portion defining a slot on its lower surface that will sealably cover the horizontal portion of the L-foot. A mounting bracket extends upwardly from the receiver member for securing the flashing member to the vertical portion of the L-foot. When installed, the flashing member will prevent water from leaking into the roof through any penetrations into the roof caused by installation of the L-foot.
