Abstract
A roof mount includes a base member and an attachment mount. The base member has a protrusion, and the attachment mount defines a hollowed region for receiving the protrusion to form a compression fitting. A substantially leak proof assembly is formed when the attachment mount is placed against the base member with a sealing material therebetween and a connecting element for coupling the attachment mount to the base member extends through the sealing material. A spacer extends the base member to a roof surface. The spacer is a hollow base stand, a tube, or a side wall of the base member. The spacer has a surface area covering the roof deck less than the surface area of a side of the base member facing the roof deck. The invention includes a method of limiting wind uplift of a roof.
Claims46
A roof mount, comprising:
- a base member including a protrusion extending from a first surface of the base member and a centering protrusion extending from a second surface of the base member, the base member including a connecting element,
- an attachment mount defining a hollowed region for receiving the protrusion to form a compression fitting, wherein a substantially leak proof assembly is formed when the attachment mount is coupled to the base member by the connecting element with a sealing material placed between the attachment mount and the base member and the connecting element extends through the sealing material, and
- a spacer for extending the base member to a roof surface, the spacer defining a hollowed region for receiving the centering protrusion.
The roof mount of claim 13 wherein the coupling component is configured for attachment to the attachment mount by the connecting element.
