Abstract
A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof includes a base having a central hub, an outer perimeter structure, a top which is open, a bottom which is open, and ribs extending from the hub outward to the perimeter structure. A continuous internal reservoir extends between the hub and the perimeter structure, for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof. The reservoir unsevered by the ribs. A cap is moveable onto the base for forming, in cooperation with the perimeter structure, an environmental seal over the roof penetration.
Claims22
A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof, the mounting device comprising:
- a base including a central hub, an outer perimeter structure, a top which is open, a bottom which is open, and ribs extending from the central hub outward to the outer perimeter structure;
- an internal reservoir extending between the central hub and the outer perimeter structure for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof, wherein the internal reservoir continuously encircles the central hub and is unsevered by the ribs;
- wherein at least one of the ribs is formed with a bore for receiving a fastener for fastening the mounting device at the roof penetration;
- and
- wherein the bore is formed into a seat in the one of the ribs, which seat is below the top of the base.
A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof, the mounting device comprising:
- a base including a central hub and an outer perimeter structure bounding an internal reservoir in communication with a top and a bottom of the base, wherein the top and bottom are both open and the internal reservoir extends between the central hub and the outer perimeter structure, continuously encircles the central hub, and is for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof;
- and
- ribs extending radially from the central hub outward to the outer perimeter structure, wherein at least one of the ribs includes a seat with a bore, the seat disposed proximate to the outer perimeter structure and between the top and bottom of the base, wherein the internal reservoir is unsevered by the ribs.
A mounting device for covering roof penetrations in a roof, the mounting device comprising:
- a base including a central hub and an outer perimeter structure bounding an internal reservoir in communication with a top and a bottom of the base, wherein the top and bottom are both open and the internal reservoir extends between the central hub and the outer perimeter structure, monolithically and continuously encircles the central hub without interruption, and is for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof;
- seats proximate to the outer perimeter structure, each seat formed with a bore for receiving a fastener for fastening the mounting device at the roof penetrations;
- and
- a cap moveable onto the base to close the top of the base;
- wherein the seats are disposed between the top and bottom of the base, such that, when the cap is moved onto the base, the seats are enclosed within the internal reservoir.
