Abstract
A mounting assembly disposable on a nail strip seam rib of a building surface includes a mounting body having an exterior, which in turn comprises a slot configured to separately receive a plurality of different nail strip seam rib profiles. The mounting assembly also includes an insert that is at least partially disposable in the slot, and a threaded fastener that extends through the mounting body, into the slot, and engages the insert.

A mounting assembly disposable on a nail strip seam rib of a building surface, comprising:
- a mounting body, comprising:
- a top and a bottom that are spaced from one another in a vertical dimension, the bottom including a first bottom surface and a second bottom surface;
- a first side surface and a second side surface that are spaced from one another in a lateral dimension;
- a pair of ends that are spaced from one another in a longitudinal dimension;
- a slot to receive the nail strip seam rib and which extends between the pair of ends, the slot located between the first side surface and the second side surface and defined by a first slot sidewall that extends inwardly from the first bottom surface, a second slot sidewall that extends inwardly from the second bottom surface, and a slot base that extends between the first slot sidewall and the second slot sidewall;
- and
- a threaded hole that extends through the first side surface to the slot, the threaded hole extending along an axis that is oblique to the vertical dimension;
- an insert that is at least partially disposable in the slot the insert comprising:
- a first leg:
- a second leg comprising:
- a first surface;
- a second surface;
- an insert slot in the first surface and having a first width;
- and
- a channel disposed between the insert slot and the second surface and having a second width,
- wherein the insert slot intersects the channel and the second width is wider than the first width to define a pair of deflectable cantilevers that are alignable with the threaded hole when the insert is disposed in the slot;
- and
- a third leg,
- wherein the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg are each disposed in different orientations relative to one another, the second leg extending between the first leg and the third leg, the first leg extending from the first surface, and the third leg extending from the second surface;
- and
- a threaded fastener disposable in the threaded hole to engage the insert.

- and
- a third leg,
- wherein the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg are each disposed in different orientations relative to one another, the second leg extending between the first leg and the third leg, the first leg extending from the first surface, and the third leg extending from the second surface.
