Patent ID: 8499524

Claim:
A mounting system, comprising: a first polymeric membrane having: a top surface; and a bottom surface, the bottom surface being bonded to a portion of the support structure; a second polymeric membrane having: an upper surface; and a lower surface having: a first surface area, the first surface area extending peripherally along at least a portion of a perimeter of the lower surface, the first surface area being bonded to the top surface area of the first polymeric membrane; and a second surface area, the second surface area being at least partially enclosed within the first surface area, the second surface area being separable from the first polymeric membrane; and a mounting plate thermally bonded to the upper surface of the second polymeric membrane solely above the second surface area of the lower surface; wherein an object attaches to the mounting plate; and wherein the second surface area elastically extends in a direction away from the first polymeric membrane as a force is exerted on the object and lies relatively flat against the first polymeric membrane when no force is exerted against the object.
