Abstract
A mounting system providing protection to the mounting surface and flexibility to accommodate movement of the mounted structures. In one application, a pipe mounting system for rooftop mounting which provides a base conforming to the roof and protects the roof from penetration of the roof membrane by the base. The pipe mounting system providing freedom of motion in every direction to prevent damage to the roof structure. The pipe mounting system designed to withstand weather extremes.
Claims20
A mounting system, comprising:
- a base adapted to be placed on a mounting surface without damage to the mounting surface;
- an elongate strut embedded within the base, the elongate strut having a channel formed by a first side wall, a second side wall, and a back wall, integrated such that an opening is formed between the first side wall and the second side wall, the first side wall including a first flange having a first recess and the second side wall including a second flange having a second recess, the first flange and the second flange defining the opening, the channel for mating with a clamp;
- a clamp for fastening an elongate structure to the strut, the clamp including fingers which mate with the first flange and first recess and the second flange and second recess, the clamp to secure the elongate structure to the base,
- wherein the elongate strut is embedded within the base such that the opening is exposed to receive the clamp;
- and
- wherein the base comprises foam.

1 more element
A mounting system, comprising:
- a base;
- a strut embedded within the base, the strut having a channel with an opening;
- wherein the strut is embedded within the base so that the opening is exposed;
- and
- a clamp mating with the opening of the channel, the clamp for securing an object to the base;
- wherein the base conforms to a roof surface.
3 more elements
A mounting system, comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a channel embedded in the base with an opening;
- wherein the channel is positioned in the base so that the opening is exposed;
