Roof mount assembly with stabilized fastener matrix
A roof mount assembly implements a stabilized fastener matrix which functions to stabilize the fastener connection with a roof. In one embodiment, a base has a one-piece construction with angularly spaced stepped bores. Roofing fasteners each having a flat head are receivable in the bores and securable therein. Plugs each having a flat lower surface are threadably engageable in the threaded bore wherein the flat lower surface of the plug engages the flat head of the fastener. In a second embodiment, the base has a two-part construction comprising a bottom plate and a top plate. The bottom plate has a plurality of arcuate slots which are angularly spaced from one another. Elongated fasteners are received in the slots. A top plate has a crown and a connector projects from the crown. The top plate mounts onto the bottom plate to provide a stabilized connection with the roof. The mount assemblies are also efficiently sealable with the adjoining roof. In one embodiment, the top plate and lower plate mount highly compressible sealant members.
CONSTRUCTION FOIL
The present invention relates to construction foil (1), with a multilayer layer structure (3) comprising a carrier layer (2) and a textile layer (11), wherein an electronic unit (4) comprising at least one moisture sensor (6) is printed on the outer side (13) of the carrier layer (2), wherein the textile layer (11) is water-permeable, preferably water-absorbent, wherein the electronic unit (4) is provided between the carrier layer (2) and the textile layer (11), and wherein the moisture sensor (6) is in direct contact with the textile layer (11), in particular is arranged on the textile layer (11).
CLAMP ASSEMBLY
The present invention relates to a clamp assembly for securing a variety of equipment. The clamp assembly comprises a top portion, a bottom portion, a first side and a second side. The top portion comprises a first surface and a second surface separated by a first channel that is configured to receive an accessory. The bottom portion has a cavity for mounting the clamp assembly on a structure. The first side comprises a first securing hole and a second securing hole, each configured to receive a first securing means and a second securing means. The second side comprises a second channel for receiving the accessory and a first blind hole and a second blind hole for securing the first securing means and the second securing means received through the first securing hole and the second securing hole.
ZONED ROOF MONITORING SYSTEM
A leak in the membrane of a generally horizontal roof support deck includes dividing the membrane into separate zones and locating a sensor to detect moisture underneath the membrane. A unique digital code address is assigned to sensor where inputs of the sensors are connected to a single power and signaling cable system using a daisy chain. The serial bus controller is to interrogate each of the sensor devices using the address to identify zones where moisture is detected. A transmitting antenna is provided at each sensor which is switched on when moisture is detected for detecting of the sensor from above the membrane by a utility locate device to confirm the location of the sensor.
ZONED ROOF MONITORING SYSTEM
A leak in the membrane of a generally horizontal roof support deck includes dividing the membrane into separate zones and locating a sensor to detect moisture underneath the membrane. A movable scanning device carried by a worker has a power supply antenna for supplying power by an electromagnetic wave to the sensor and the worker moves the scanning device to selected ones of the zones. At each selected zone the power supply antenna activates the sensor in the zone and the sensor to emits signals related to the moisture underneath the membrane as detected by the sensor device which are detected and recorded at the mobile scanning device.
RIDGELINE ROOF CLIP
A clip device for holding a bulb in fixed relationship relative to a ridgeline of a roof. The clip device includes a front side and a back side opposite the front side, a top side and a bottom side opposite the top side, and a first side and a second side opposite the first side. Two shoulders transition into corresponding legs having at least one hook on each leg. A top portion of the clip device includes a finger portions terminating with respective clip portions at their tips. Tabs are arranged along the fingers. The legs are configured such that spreading the legs away from one another causes the finger portions to bend toward one another, and squeezing the legs together causes the finger portions to bend away from one another.

Hybrid snow and ice retention system
Implementations described and claimed herein provide for modular snow and ice retention and mounting systems. In various embodiments, a bracket may comprise a mounting strap, a hybrid pad, a bracket assembly and a rod. The hybrid pad may comprise a face portion and a support portion. The face portion and the support portion may be operatively coupled together. The hybrid pad may be operatively coupled to the mounting strap. The face portion may comprise a stiffening rib. The stiffening rib may be defined in a front surface of the face portion. The stiffening rib may define a first load plane. The face portion may also define a first rod notch. The first rod notch may be defined on a first side of the face portion. The face portion may also define a second rod notch. The rod may be mountable to the hybrid pad.
ROOF MOUNT ASSEMBLY WITH STABILIZED FASTENER MATRIX
A roof mount assembly includes a bottom plate securable to a roofing structure and a top plate mounted on top of the bottom plate. The bottom plate includes a first compressible sealing pad affixed to a bottom surface and compressed between bottom plate and roofing surface. The top plate includes a second compressible sealing pad affixed to its bottom surface that is compressed when the top plate is secured mounted over the bottom plate via fasteners extending through holes in the top plate and threaded into bores in the bottom plate. The top plate may include a central crown and a connector projecting upward therefrom to secure an object over the roofing structure.
