Patent ID: 10106991

Abstract:
Pedestals for supporting pavers on a roof or other surface are provided. In some cases the pedestal has a cylindrical core, a base coupled to the cylindrical core and positioned to support the cylindrical core, and a support plate coupled to the cylindrical core and adapted to support at least one paver. In some cases, the pedestal includes an anchoring assembly having a collar positioned axially between the base and the support plate, and an arm extending radially outward from the collar and having a distal end adapted to be mounted to the roof or other surface at a location spaced apart from the cylindrical core. Also, in some cases a mounting member is provided that extends to and between a first location proximate the cylindrical core and a second location on the roof or other surface distal from the cylindrical core and the base. In some cases, top and bottom pads are used to receive a paver therebetween, wherein the top and/or bottom pads are adapted to rotate relative to the cylindrical core.
