The compression pad has a rectangular cross section and includes a plate opposing surface. The compression plate has a rectangular cross section and includes a pad support surface facing the compression pad and a disk support surface. The threaded disk extends from the disk support surface, and the adjustable flange is removably threaded onto the threaded disk.

A mounting system for a solar module that uses a resilient clip to locate and secure the solar module in a desired location.

A holder device for being present at the surface of a first part made of composite material in order to enable a second part to be held to the first part, the holder device including a body made of composite material including a fiber structure and a matrix present in the pores of the fiber structure; and a holder member including a base and holder tabs extending from either side of the base, the holder tabs being for defining a holding zone for holding the second part to the first part, the base of the holder device being present in the body, and the holder tabs projecting through a surface of the body.

The Twist-Base Mount couples a single-screw, substrate-penetrating element with an elastically-deformable, concave base element that, once installed, acts as a spring, exerting a downward force upon the substrate around its circumference. Because the base element is rigidly attached to the substrate-penetrating element, a force applied to the Mount parallel to the plane of the substrate is offset by the pressure of the perimeter of the base element against the substrate, resulting in additional strength. The Mount's single-screw, self-boring element allows quick and easy installation. The spring-like base-element permits 360-degree rotation of the Mount while maintaining uniform pressure against the substrate, thereby preserving strength regardless of rotational positioning. The mount remains economical in relation to mounts of similar strength and rotational adjustability due to its insert-molded construction.

A frame connection structure may include a first frame including a frame hole, a joint mounted inside the first frame, a member inserted into the frame hole, and a connecting bracket connecting the member to the joint.

An adjustable bracket assembly for securing an edge of a panel relative to a surface. The adjustable bracket assembly includes a mounting member and a bracket member. The mounting member has a body configured for mounting on the surface and defining at least two fastening screw receiving holes. The bracket member includes an extension arm extending perpendicularly to a mounting arm. The extension arm includes a panel clamp and the mounting arm includes a mounting plate extending therefrom. The mounting plate defines at least two fastening screw holes and at least two adjustment screw holes therethrough. A fastening screw extends through each fastening screw hole and is received in a respective fastening screw receiving hole. An adjustment screw is positioned in each adjustment screw hole and is threadably adjustable to contact the mounting member body and adjust the angular relationship between the bracket member and the mounting member.

A Modular Roof Mounting System utilizes an assembly Jig that makes assembly of the structural units very easy and repeatable. The assembly Jig incorporates a photovoltaic panel mounting frame that the structure is required to support. In addition to the photovoltaic panel mounting frame it includes only two low cost universal components: two South rail locators and two North rail locators. The North and South rail locators are attached to the mounting holes in the panel frame, two on the South edge and two on the North, and produce a rail spacing that lines up with the same holes. The North Rail Locators have additional locating features to position the cross beams. Using a photovoltaic panel mounting frame to create a Jig that automatically determines the configuration of the Precision-Modular assembly and requires no adjustments and allows for the assembly of mounting structures for various photovoltaic panel geometries.

A method and assembly for mounting a conduit on a mounting surface utilizing a conduit mounting assembly. The conduit mounting assembly includes a first clamp portion, a second clamp portion, a connecting screw and a conduit securement screw. The method includes providing the conduit mounting assembly, mounting the first clamp portion on a tile, mounting the second clamp portion opposite to the first clamp portion on the tile, connecting the first clamp portion with the second clamp portion utilizing the connecting screw and mounting the conduit on the second clamp portion utilizing the conduit securement screw and a conduit fastening member.

A mounting device (100) for installation on a hollow rib of a panel is disclosed. The mounting device (100) includes a mounting body (102), an insert (160), and at least one clamping fastener (180). The mounting body (102) includes an upper section or base (104), along with a first leg (112) and a second leg (122) that each extend downwardly from the base (104) in at least generally diverging relation to one another. The first leg (112) includes a first projection (116) positionable in a recess on one sidewall of a rib, while the insert (160) includes a second projection (164) positionable in a recess on the opposite sidewall of this same rib. The clamping fastener(s) (180) extends through the second leg (122) of the mounting body (102) and forces the insert (160) in the direction of the first leg (112) of the mounting body (102).

Embodiments include a mounting assembly for securing a supported element to a wall structure having an internal thickness. The mounting assembly comprises an internal assembly configured to engage the internal thickness of the wall structure and comprising a central anchor assembly with an anchor portion and a mating portion annularly arranged about an open end of the anchor portion, the mating portion having a first end fixedly attached to the anchor portion adjacent the open end and a second end for engaging the outer wall panel. The internal assembly further comprises a plurality of elongated anchors attached to the mating portion at an oblique angle relative to a central axis of the anchor portion. The mounting assembly further comprises an external assembly for engaging the outer wall panel and the mating portion of the central anchor assembly; and an elongated fastener for securing the external assembly to the internal assembly.
