Roofing Grommet Forming a Seal Between a Roof-Mounted Structure and a Roof
20180013379 · 2018-01-11 ·

A roof mount assembly mounts a structure to a roof haying a rafter and a substrate supported by the rafter. The roof mount assembly includes a piece of flashing positioned on the substrate. The flashing includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface and an aperture extending through the flashing. A fastener extends through the flashing aperture. A bracket is connected to the flashing via the fastener, and the bracket is sized to support at least one roof mounted structure on the roof. A seal is positioned between the flashing aperture and the fastener. The seal is sized to form a water-tight seal with the aperture to inhibit flow of fluid through the aperture. The seal includes a first portion and a second portion, in which the first portion is positioned to abut the flashing first surface and the second portion is positioned to extend through the aperture.

Roofing panels with water shedding features

Roofing panels with water shedding features may be installed on the roof of a house or other structure in lieu of or as an underlayment for traditional roofing materials. The water shedding features can be built into a base of the roofing panels, as part of a frame for the roofing panels, or formed as part of a waterproofing layer applied to the base of the roofing panels, or which can be configured as a roofing panel. The roofing panels also can be installed in overlapping courses along a roof with water shedding features applied thereto or incorporated along one or more peripheral edges. The water shedding features of adjacent roofing panels will collect and divert water away from the upper surfaces and/or away from headlap and/or sidelap joints defined between the roofing panels.

BRACKET ASSEMBLY FOR SOLAR PANELS
20230026595 · 2023-01-26 ·

A solar panel and irrigation arrangement support assembly includes first and second elongated rails each configured to be supported by a roof surface, the first elongated rail including a first longitudinally-extending channel, a plurality of vertical legs each having a first end coupled to at least one of the first and second elongated rails, and a second end, a support assembly coupled to the second end of the plurality of legs and configured to support a solar panel, and an irrigation arrangement that includes an irrigation line located within and extending along the first longitudinally-extending channel of the first elongated rail, and a fluid dispersion member in fluid communication with the irrigation line and configured to be located between the solar panel and plant matter supported by the roof surface such that the fluid dispersion member can provide fluid to the plant matter located directly vertically below the solar panel.

ROOF DRAIN ATTACHMENT
20230228087 · 2023-07-20 ·

A drain assembly for use with a plumbing system. The drain assembly includes a base, a dome, and a drain attachment. The base includes a first end, a second end opposite first end, and defining a central axis. The base at least partially defines a channel open to both the first end and the second end. The channel has an inlet at the first end of the base. The dome is coupled to the base and at least partially encloses the inlet. The drain attachment includes a body and a plurality of baffles. The body extends parallel to the central axis and includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The body also defines a passageway open to both the first end and the second end. The plurality of baffles extends outwardly from the body.

INTEGRATED ROOF SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED DRIPLAP EDGE
20230010965 · 2023-01-12 ·

A multi-layered integrated roofing plank or panel with a base layer comprising engineered or manufactured wood, a water resistant barrier layer covering at least the outer face of the base layer and at least one of the edges of the base layer, and a driplap edge along the bottom edge of the base layer. A texturizing material also may be affixed to, or integrated with, the water resistant barrier layer.

Double coverage roof wall flashing with cavity

A drip edge having a flange configured to rest against a roof surface following installation on a perimeter of the roof surface and a flap hingedly extending from a terminal edge of the flange configured to be positioned a predefined distance towards the center of the roof surface, as measured from an edge of the roof surface on which the flange is configured to be mounted, following installation of the flange on the roof surface, wherein the flap and flange, in combination, form a cavity configured to retain a shingle therein, thereby improving the strength with which the starter shingle is secured to the roof surface against wind uplift while improving its resilience to moisture intrusion and easing installation while also rendering shingle alignment more consistent.

ROOFING PANELS WITH INTEGRATED WATERSHEDDING

Panels with substantially integrated watershedding features may be installed on the roof a house or other structure in lieu of traditional roofing materials. The panels include a body formed from a mixture of filler materials and polymeric binder materials, which can include recycled materials, with watershedding features generally formed with and/or integrated with the panels. The panels also can be installed in overlapping courses along a roof with the watershedding features incorporated along one or more peripheral edges. The watershedding features of adjacent panels further can cooperated to collect and divert water away from the upper surfaces and/or away headlap and/or sidelap joints defined between the panels.
