  • Lightning damage abatement system and attachment method
    Patent number: 8050007
    Abstract: An air terminal/point base has an air terminal/point plate with upper and lower surfaces and apertures. The upper surface has an upstanding cylinder with a threaded aperture. An air terminal/point has a threaded base coupled to the threaded aperture. A conductive cable couples the air terminal/point to a ground. A patch of roofing material having upper and lower surfaces is in a configuration corresponding to the air terminal/point plate. The patch has a plurality of apertures in axial alignment with the apertures of the air terminal/point plate. A rivet extends through the apertures of the air terminal/point plate and each patch coupling the lower surface of the air terminal/point plate to the upper surface of an associated patch. The method includes the step of cohering the patch to the material through the application of pressure applied for 3 to 5 seconds and heat at a temperature of 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
