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.
Claims20
A mounting body disposable on a nail strip seam rib of a building surface, comprising:
- a top surface;
- a first exterior side surface spaced from a second exterior side surface in a lateral dimension;
- a first end spaced from a second end in a longitudinal dimension;
- a slot that extends between the first and second ends and which is defined by a first slot sidewall, a second slot sidewall, and a slot base that is substantially planar and that extends between the first slot sidewall and the second slot sidewall, wherein the slot base is oriented at an oblique angle to the top surface;
- a first bottom surface spaced from a second bottom surface by the slot;
- and
- a threaded hole that passes through the first exterior side surface and extends between the first exterior side surface and the slot, the threaded hole extending along an axis that is oblique to a vertical dimension, wherein at least a portion of the second exterior side surface is substantially planar and parallel to a planar portion of the first exterior side surface through which the threaded hole passes,
- wherein the mounting body is of a one piece construction.

A mounting assembly disposable on a rib of a building surface, comprising:
- a one-piece mounting body with:
- a top surface;
- a first side surface spaced from a second side surface in a lateral dimension;
- a slot having a first sidewall and a slot base;
- a first bottom surface positioned between the first side surface and the first sidewall, the first bottom surface spaced from the top surface in a vertical dimension;
- and

- and
- a third leg disposable adjacent to the slot base,
- wherein the second leg is between the first leg and the third leg in a direction which is oriented between the top surface of the one-piece mounting body and the first bottom surface of the one-piece mounting body when the insert is at least partially disposed within the slot such that the first leg is located at a distal-most end of the second leg along the direction of orientation and the third leg is located at a proximal-most end of the second leg along the direction of orientation;
- and
- a threaded fastener disposable in the threaded hole to engage the insert.
