Abstract
A mounting plate utilized to attach an object to a mounting system. The mounting plate includes a base having a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the base is bonded to a membrane of the mounting system. A housing is raised from the top surface of the base, the housing creates a contact surface area to support the object. A first member is raised from the top surface; the first member has a surface at a height flush with the contact surface area of the housing. A hole extends through the thickness of the housing.
Claims7
A combination mounting system and a mounting plate, comprising:
- the mounting system, having
- an elastic membrane having a bottom surface bonded to a structure, the elastic membrane being partially separable from a structure such that as a force is applied thereto, the elastic membrane partially separates from the structure;
- and
- the mounting plate, having:
- a base with a top surface and a bottom surface, the bottom surface being thermally bonded to a top surface of the elastic membrane, the top surface of the elastic membrane being separated by the bottom surface of the elastic membrane by a thickness;
- a housing raised from the top surface of the base;
- and
- a plurality of members integrally joining with and extending from the housing, the plurality of members each having a raised surface that is flush with a raised surface area of the housing, the raised surface of the plurality of members and the raised surface of the housing forming a continuous surface area at a height relative to the top surface of the base;
- wherein the continuous surface area is configured to receive an object thereon.
