Abstract
A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof includes a base formed from a sheet of material. The base includes a top, a bottom, a socket depending from the top toward the bottom, and an outer perimeter structure encircling the socket and depending downward from the top to the bottom. An internal reservoir is defined between the top and bottom of the base for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof. The internal reservoir includes an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The upper cavity is bound within the socket. The lower cavity continuously encircles the socket and extends both below the socket and between the socket and the outer perimeter structure.
Claims20
A roof mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof, the roof mounting device comprising:
- a base formed from a sheet of material, the base including a top, a bottom, a socket depending from the top toward the bottom, and an outer perimeter structure encircling the socket and depending downward from the top to the bottom, wherein the base has a rim proximate the top, the rim defined by a flat annulus, and wherein the socket depends from the top to a flat seat which continuously encircles a central bore at a bottom of the socket, the central bore configured to receive a fastener;
- an internal reservoir defined between the top and bottom of the base for holding a sealant against and in cooperation with the roof, the internal reservoir comprising an upper cavity and a lower cavity;
- the upper cavity bound within the socket;
- and
- the lower cavity continuously encircling the socket at least partially in the same horizontal or vertical plane and extending both below the socket and between the socket and the outer perimeter structure.
A mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof, the mounting device comprising:
- a base including a top, a bottom, a socket depending from the top, and an outer perimeter structure encircling the socket and depending downward from the top to the bottom, wherein the base has a rim proximate the top, the rim defined by a flat annulus, and wherein the socket depends from the top to a flat seat which continuously encircles a central bore at a bottom of the socket, the central bore configured to receive a fastener;
- an internal reservoir defined between the top and bottom of the base, the internal reservoir comprising an upper cavity bound between the socket and the top of the base and a lower cavity bound between the socket, the outer perimeter structure, and the bottom of the base, wherein the lower cavity continuously encircles the socket at least partially in the same horizontal or vertical plane and extending both below the socket and between the socket and the outer perimeter;
- and
- a cap moveable onto the base for forming, in cooperation with the base, an environmental seal around the roof penetration.
A roof mounting device for covering a roof penetration in a roof, the roof mounting device comprising:
- a base including a top, a bottom, a socket depending from the top, and an outer perimeter structure encircling the socket and depending downward from the top to a flat seat proximate the bottom, wherein the base has a rim proximate the top, the rim defined by a flat annulus surrounding the socket, and wherein the flat seat continuously encircles a central bore in the socket which is configured to receive a fastener;
- an internal reservoir defined between the top and bottom of the base, the internal reservoir comprising an upper cavity bound between the socket and the top of the base and a lower cavity bound between the socket, the outer perimeter structure, and the bottom of the base, wherein the lower cavity continuously encircles the socket at least partially in the same horizontal or vertical plane and extends both below the socket and between the socket and the outer perimeter;
- and
- the socket includes a sidewall extending from a bottom of the socket to the top of the base, and the sidewall is formed with an opening which joins the upper and lower cavities in communication.
