Abstract:
1. A roof attachment assembly for mounting to a roof substrate, the roof attachment assembly comprising: a plate having a first aperture extending through a substantially central portion of the plate, the plate defining a first surface and a second surface, the first surface facing the roof substrate and the second surface spaced from the roof substrate, the plate defining a plane along which a portion of the plate extends, the plate defining at least one protrusion extending above the plane with respect to the roof substrate, the protrusion positioned between the central aperture and a perimeter of the plate, the plate defining a second aperture extending through a portion of the plate that extends along the plane radially outward from the first aperture; a first elastomeric membrane positioned adjacent the first surface of the plate; a second elastomeric membrane positioned adjacent the second surface of the plate; an attachment member positioned proximate the second surface of the plate, the attachment member operable to support one or more roof mounted fixtures; a first fastener having a head end adjacent the roof substrate and a threaded end spaced from the roof surface, the first fastener extending through the attachment member, the second elastomeric membrane and the first aperture of the plate, the fastener operable to couple the attachment member, the second elastomeric membrane and the plate together, wherein the roof substrate is contiguous adjacent to the head end of the first fastener; and a second fastener extending through the second aperture of the plate and into the roof substrate, the second fastener operable to couple the plate to the roof substrate, wherein an end at the outermost perimeter of the plate is in direct contact with the first elastomeric membrane.
