Abstract
An anchor platform assembly for anchoring an object to a raised, generally flat roof-like structure, has an anchor baseplate having a top surface and a bottom surface, and an internally threaded blindbore extending at least partially from the top surface generally towards the bottom surface and fasteners for fastening an object to the anchor baseplate via its blindbore, and for fastening the anchor baseplate to a top surface of a roof-like structure. The assembly is especially intended for supporting, e.g., glass railings on balconies, terraces and flat roofs and for mounted solar panels on both flat and pitched roofs which provides strength and affords watertight performance.
Claims53
An anchor platform assembly for anchoring an object to a structure, comprising:
- an anchor baseplate having a top surface and a bottom surface, an elongated cylindrical post coupled to said baseplate projecting below said bottom surface thereof, said post being at least partially externally threaded and having a top end secured to said anchor baseplate and a closed bottom end, and an at least partially threaded blind bore extending from said top surface into said post, with said bottom surface of said anchor baseplate being configured to allow the structure to lie generally flush against said bottom surface except for the area of said bottom surface covered by said post;
- means for fastening an object to said anchor baseplate via said blind bore;
- and
- means for fastening said anchor baseplate to the structure with said bottom surface thereof lying generally flush against the structure except for the area of said bottom surface covered by said post.
