## Abstract

An air conditioner condenser platform is described for supporting an air conditioner condenser installed on a roof. The platform provides a fixed base and an adjustable platform whereby the fixed base is installed on the roof and the adjustable platform is configured to provide a level platform on which to install the condenser. It provides a durable metal weather resistant platform on which to install the condenser, and a standard platform that may be quickly installed in a variety of roof slopes and configurations.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An air conditioner condenser platform comprising:
a) a fixed base for attaching to a roof, the fixed base having a first edge and a second edge;
b) an adjustable mounting platform; and
c) wherein the adjustable mounting platform is rotateably attached to the first edge of the fixed base and releaseably attached to the second edge of the fixed base.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The air conditioner condenser platform of claim 1, wherein the fixed base further comprises at least one of support members and a support box comprising a first and second side panels, a front panel and a back panel.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The air conditioner condenser platform of claim 2, wherein the adjustable mounting platform further comprises a top panel, two side panels disposed substantially perpendicular to the top panel, and a first edge and a second edge of the top panel both disposed substantially perpendicular to the side panels.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The air conditioner condenser platform of claim 3 wherein the releaseable attachment comprises:
a first curved slot in the first side panel and a second curved slot in the side panel of the adjustable mounting platform;
and a first bolt hole in the first side panel and a second bolt home in the second side panel of the support box;
a first bolt secured through the first slot and first bolt hole, and a second bolt secured through the second slot and second bolt hole.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The air conditioner condenser platform of claim 3 wherein the rotateable attachment comprises a first and second bolt rotateably attaching the first and second side panels of the adjustable mounting platform to the first and second side panels of the fixed base, respectively, in the corners of the side panels adjacent to the first edge of the fixed base.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The air conditioner condenser platform of claim 5 further comprising
a) a first curved slot and a second curved slot provided in the side panels of the adjustable mounting platform,
b) a first bolt hole and a second bolt hole in the fixed base;
c) a first and second bolt for connecting the mounting platform to the fixed base through the curved slots and bolt holes.

### Claim 7

A method for mounting an air conditioner condenser on a roof comprising the steps of:
a) providing a fixed base having a first edge and a first and a second side panel;
b) mounting the fixed base on the roof;
c) providing an adjustable mounting platform having a top panel, a first edge and a first and a second side panel;
d) rotateably attaching the first edge of the adjustable mounting platform to the first edge of the fixed base;
e) releaseably attaching the first and second side panels of the fixed base to the first and second side panels of the adjustable mounting platform.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7 further comprising the step of mounting the air conditioner condenser on the top panel of the adjustable mounting platform.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the rotatable attachment comprises a first bolt and a second bolt securing the first and second side panels of the fixed base to the first and second side panels of the adjustable mounting platform adjacent to the first edge of the fixed base and the adjustable mounting platform.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the releaseable attachment comprises:
a first curved slot and a second curved slot in the first and second side panels of the adjustable mounting platform near a second edge of the adjustable mounting platform;
a first bolt hole and a second bolt hole in the first and second side panels of the fixed base near a second edge of the fixed base; and
a first bolt and a second bolt releaseable secured through the first curved slot and the first bolt hole, and the second curved slot and the second bolt hole, respectively.
