Abstract

A mount including a base portion having a first side and a second side. A plurality of holes are distributed along a lengthwise direction of the base portion and from the first side of the base portion to the second side. A connecting portion extends from the base portion in a direction transverse to a direction of extension of the base portion. A mounting portion extends from the connecting portion. The mounting portion extends in a direction transverse to the direction of extension of the connecting portion such that a portion of the mounting portion is disposed vertically above the base portion. The mounting portion has at least one hole.

Claims (41)

1. A mount, comprising:

a base portion having:

a length extending between a first end and a second end,

a first side and a second side, and

a plurality of holes distributed along a lengthwise direction of the base portion, extending therethrough from the first side to the second side;

a connecting portion extending from the base portion in a direction transverse to a direction of extension of the base portion; and

a mounting portion extending from the connecting portion, the mounting portion having at least one hole therethrough, and the mounting portion extending in a direction transverse to the direction of extension of the connecting portion such that the mounting portion is disposed vertically above the base portion,

wherein the mounting portion extends less than halfway across the length of the base portion and tapers inward.

2. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion extends perpendicularly to the base portion.

3. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting portion extends approximately perpendicularly to the connecting portion.

4. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one hole of the mounting portion is threaded.

5. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the mount includes 304 stainless steel.

6. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting portion tapers inward from an end of the connecting portion.

7. The mount according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of holes of the base portion are not vertically obstructed by the mounting portion.

8. A mount, comprising:

a base portion having:

a first surface and a second surface,

a first end and a second end,

a plurality of holes extending between the first and the second surface, the plurality of holes distributed along a lengthwise direction of the base portion between the first and second end, the plurality of holes being offset from a perimeter of the base portion;

a connecting portion having a first end and a second end, the first end of the connecting portion being connected to the second end of the base portion and extending in a direction transverse to the base portion; and

a mounting portion having:

a first surface and a second surface,

a first end and a second end, the second end of the mounting portion being connected to the second end of the connecting portion, a width of the mounting portion tapering inward from the second end of the mounting portion to the first end of the mounting portion, and

at least one hole extending between the first surface of the mounting portion and the second surface of the mounting portion.

9. The mount of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the mounting portion overhangs the first surface of the base portion.

10. The mount of claim 8 , wherein the first surface of the base portion and the first surface of the mounting portion are substantially parallel.

11. The mount of claim 8 , wherein the at least one hole of the mounting portion is threaded.

12. The mount of claim 8 , wherein a material of the mount includes steel.

13. The mount of claim 8 , wherein a width of the mounting portion is smaller than a width of the base portion.

14. The mount of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of holes of the base portion are not vertically obstructed by the mounting portion.

15. A mount system, comprising:

a flashing including at least one hole;

a mount including:

a base portion having a plurality of holes,

a mounting portion having at least one hole, the mounting portion being connected to the base portion via a connecting portion, at least a portion of the mounting portion disposed vertically above the base portion, and the mounting portion tapering inward from the connecting portion to a distal end of the mounting portion such that the mounting portion does not vertically obstruct at least one hole of the plurality of holes of the base portion; and

a fastener configured to be disposed through the at least one hole of the flashing and the at least one hole of the mounting portion.

16. The system according to claim 15 , wherein the mounting portion and the base portion are substantially parallel.

17. The system according to claim 15 , wherein the at least one hole of the mounting portion is threaded, and

wherein the fastener is disposed through the flashing and engages with the at least one threaded hole of the mounting portion.

18. The system according to claim 15 , wherein the mount comprises 304 stainless steel.

19. The system according to claim 15 , wherein the base portion, connecting portion, and mounting portion are formed from a single piece of material.
