  • Publication number: 20150171787
    Abstract: An outdoor frame system in which supports (2) with a hollow profile are connected to girders (3) by pedestal bearings (1). The connection between the support (2) and the pedestal bearing (1) is a bolt connection (4), in which a bolt (5) is guided through opposing support walls and thus passes through the pedestal bearing (1) through a foot-end eyelet (6) in the pedestal bearing (1) within the support (2). The pedestal bearing (1) protrudes beyond the upper end of the support, and at the head end has a contact surface (8) for the girder (3) and has means (7) for producing a clamping connection to attachments of the girder (3). The pedestal bearing (1) and therefore the contact surface (8) are able to tilt by an angle alpha about the axis of the bolt connection (4).

  • Patent number: 8844887
    Abstract: A two-part roof hook is described, which has a base part (1) and a hook part (2) which can be connected to the base part (1) and which has a connecting element (6) on its end (4) for mounting an assembly. The base part (1) is a cut-off portion (X) of an angle section, one angle leg (8) of which is provided with connecting elements (7) for making a connection to the roof substructure. A section wall (10) extending in the longitudinal direction of the section is arranged within the angle between the two angle legs (8, 9), which section wall includes an obtuse angle (?) jointly with the angle leg area of the connecting elements (7), serves as a support surface for the end (3) of the hook part (2), and can be connected to the end (3) of the hook part (2).

  • Patent number: 7634875
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mounting system consisting of aluminum profiles (1, 11) in which threaded sliding blocks (14) inserted in the profiles are used, in particular, for fastening to solar modules and roof supports. The mounting system comprises at least two spaced apart profiled mounting rails (1) respectively with a support (2) limiting the profile height (7) and a connection (3) below the support (2) for the roof mounting. Threaded sliding blocks (14) are inserted in a form-fitting manner in each profiled mounting rail (1) for fastening the connection with the solar modules and the roof mounts. The profiled mounting rail has additional connecting profiles (4, 5, 6), arranged on the side or on the side and bottom, for engagement with complementary connecting profiles (8, 9, 10) of a profiled connecting rail (11). The profiled mounting rail (1) can be extended by sliding shaped pieces (13) with the profile of the profiled mounting rail (1) onto the profiled connecting rail (11).

  • Patent number: 5740996
    Abstract: A device for mounting plate-like construction components, in particular solar modules and solar energy collectors on inclined surfaces. The plate-like construction components are arranged in the longitudinal direction on such surfaces, and disposed one on top of the other in the form of scales. The plate-like construction components are mounted on profiles which extend in the longitudinal direction on a substantially horizontally disposed mounting support framework such as roof battens. Each profile has at its top side two lateral support surfaces extending in its longitudinal direction, and a groove disposed between said support surfaces. The construction components rest with each of their lateral edges on one of the support surfaces of the profile, with a gap between the two lateral edges and above the groove. The profile is an inverted U-shape with each leg of the profile consisting of an inner and an outer vertical leg. The outer vertical leg limits the profile laterally.
