Assembly for mounting a trim piece to a photovoltaic panel using standardized clamps
A monolithic trim piece is used for covering an opening between the edge of a photovoltaic module and the roof. The trim piece, with a curved front face, is attached to the underside of the photovoltaic module(s) using a standardized end-clamp (for a single module) or a standard mid-clamp (for a pair of modules). A threaded fastener with a T-shaped head can be used in a recessed channel located underneath an attachment flange of the trim piece.
Perfected hanging bracket for the wall assembly of a wall-cupboard
A hanging bracket for the wall assembly of a wall-cupboard includes, in combination: a metallic base, an arm assembled and articulated on the base and protruding from it with a hook configured for anchoring to a plate (or other equivalent element) fixed to the wall, first and second regulation mechanisms regulating the position of the arm in height and in depth, respectively, and a flange integral with the base and equipped with at least one fixing unit of the hanging bracket to the wall-cupboard, wherein the fixing unit includes a shear-resistant element cooperating with a fixing peg of the hanging bracket to a shoulder of the cupboard. According to the invention, the peg is fitted onto a collar protruding from the flange, there also being a reciprocal fixing element between the collar and the peg, to make them integral with each other.
Strut and clip assembly for stiffening a hanger rod
A hanger-rod clip can be configured for use with a strut that at least partially surrounds a hanger rod to provide stiffness to the hanger rod. The hanger-rod clip can include a handle portion and a rod-clamping portion. The rod-clamping portion can be configured to urge the hanger rod into engagement with an internal surface of the strut as the handle portion is moved towards the strut.
Roof mount bracket
The present disclosure is generally directed to mounting components on a corrugated metal roof. The disclosed systems and devices utilize a multi-surface clip (e.g., multi-planar) to securely attaching components such as rails to the corrugated metal roof while increasing the pullout strength of mounted structures and more evenly spreading the load of such mounted structures over the corrugated metal roof. In one embodiment, the multi-surface clip allows attaching a rail to the top of a rib of the corrugated metal roof while a fastener mechanically attaches the clip to a side surface of the rib. This allows the fastener to experience shear forces when upward forces (e.g., normal to the top surface of the rib) are applied to the rail or a structure supported by the rail.
Shelving system and bracket
A shelving system (11) and a bracket (10) for a shelving system comprising, the bracket (10) comprising a first end portion (19), an intermediate portion (18) and second end portion (20). The intermediate portion (18) comprises a flexible wall portion being moveable from an open position, in which the flexile wall portion is planar, to a closed position, in which the flexible wall portion is arcuate. In the closed position, the flexible wall portion can wrap around a portion of a post (14) and the first and second end portions (19, 20) engage to form a connector (32) engageable with an end of a rail (16) for supporting drawers.
Bracket for connection of a junction box to photovoltaic panels
A device for attaching a junction box to a photovoltaic. The photovoltaic panel has a photovoltaic side and a non-photovoltaic side. The device includes a bracket with a first side attachable to the junction box and a second side attachable to the non-photovoltaic surface of the photovoltaic panel. A central fastener is attachable at one end to the bracket and a plate is adapted for connecting to the other end of the central fastener and for mounting on the photovoltaic side of the photovoltaic panel. One or more rotatable spacers, connectible to the central fastener, may be located on the non-photovoltaic side of the photovoltaic panel. One or more fixed spacers may be located on the non-photovoltaic side connectible to the bracket.
Bracket for connection of a junction box to photovoltaic panels
A device for attaching a junction box to a photovoltaic. The photovoltaic panel has a photovoltaic side and a non-photovoltaic side. The device includes a bracket with a first side attachable to the junction box and a second side attachable to the non-photovoltaic surface of the photovoltaic panel. A central fastener is attachable at one end to the bracket and a plate is adapted for connecting to the other end of the central fastener and for mounting on the photovoltaic side of the photovoltaic panel. One or more rotatable spacers, connectable to the central fastener, may be located on the non-photovoltaic side of the photovoltaic panel. One or more fixed spacers may be located on the non-photovoltaic side connectable to the bracket.
Photovoltaic mounting system
A photovoltaic mounting system having an elongated connector base. The elongated connector base can included photovoltaic module connector portion for supporting a pair of elevated photovoltaic modules above the base. The base may include a captive screw system for holding a pair of mounting screws in place prior to installation and functioning as a screw guide during installation. An assistance clamp fits over the elongated base under the photovoltaic module connector portion to secure the elongated connector base to relatively narrow portion of a roof to provide lateral stability to the elongated connector base.
Solar array support structure with a telescopic wind brace
Disclosed herein is a solar array structure that includes a first vertical column having a first height and a second vertical column having a second height, the second height being taller than the first height. The solar array support structure further includes a telescopic wind brace extending between an upper portion of the first vertical column and a lower portion of the second vertical column.
Bracket for connection of a junction box to photovoltaic panels
A device for attaching a junction box to a photovoltaic. The photovoltaic panel has a photovoltaic side and a non-photovoltaic side. The device includes a bracket with a first side attachable to the junction box and a second side attachable to the non-photovoltaic surface of the photovoltaic panel. A central fastener is attachable at one end to the bracket and a plate is adapted for connecting to the other end of the central fastener and for mounting on the photovoltaic side of the photovoltaic panel. One or more rotatable spacers, connectible to the central fastener, may be located on the non-photovoltaic side of the photovoltaic panel. One or more fixed spacers may be located on the non-photovoltaic side connectible to the bracket.
