Patent number: 11965337Abstract: A mounting device or clamp is provided that can be secured to a roof joint without damaging the roof joint. Two roof panels can be joined at a roof joint that extends away from the roof. The clamp has a body with a slot to receive the roof joint. An insert of the clamp is rotatable relative to the body from a first position to a second position. The clamp body can be positioned over the roof joint, and the insert can rotate or pivot from the first position to the second position relative to the body to secure the clamp to the roof joint. In one embodiment, a body of the clamp has a first arm that is concave and the insert has a concave portion to engage the roof joint. Alternatively, in another embodiment, the insert can be connected to the clamp body such that either a first projection or a second projection of the insert faces a roof joint.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: RMH TECH LLCInventors: Dustin M. M. Haddock, Jonathon Moss, Nikolaus Jo Holley

Patent number: 11885139Abstract: A mounting device or bracket for paneled building surfaces is disclosed. The mounting bracket includes an upper wall in the form of a flat surface for supporting various types of attachments. An elongated mounting slot extends through the upper wall, and the mounting bracket includes an elongated nut receptacle that is positioned below this elongated mounting slot. With an attachment being positioned on the upper wall, an attachment fastener may be directed through the attachment, then through the elongated mounting slot, and then may be threadably engaged with a nut that is positioned within and movable along the nut receptacle in its elongated dimension. The elongated configuration of the mounting slot and nut receptacle provides adjustability for the position of the attachment fastener relative to the mounting bracket, including after the mounting bracket has already been installed on the building surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: RMH TECH LLCInventors: Dustin M.

Patent number: 11788291Abstract: A clamp for controlling uplift of panels of a metal roof is provided where the clamp secures two adjacent panels together. In some embodiments, the clamp has a slot configured to receive a roof joint between adjacent panels, and the clamp has at least one arm that secures the roof joint within the clamp and prevents the clamp from being pulled off of the roof joint. In addition, the clamp may have a channel and at least one protrusion that locate the roof joint within the clamp in a predetermined position to ensure that a bar component such as a bolt or a set screw can secure the roof joint within the clamp. Moreover, further features and arrangements of features can better position the clamp over a center of the roof joint.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: RMH TECH LLCInventors: Dustin M.

Publication number: 20220335176Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a solar calculator which can calculate a layout for a set of solar panels to be installed on a roof of a building. Generally speaking, the solar calculator can receive as input a roof type for the building, system requirements, site information, specifications for mounting hardware to be used, specifications for the solar panels to be used, wind data for the location of the building, etc. From this data, the solar calculator can then calculate the number of solar panels needed, a layout for the panels on the roof, the hardware required to mount the panels, locations for the hardware to be installed, and/or other information. A graphical and/or textual report can then be generated that describes the layout of the solar panels and hardware, a bill of materials for the installation, and other information.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: Dustin M.M.
