Roof mount sealing assembly

Abstract

A variety of roof mount sealing assemblies are disclosed. The roof mount sealing assemblies allow a user to mount rails for solar panels, signs, satellite dish or any other desired item on the roof and have the mounting location sealed against water. The roof mount sealing assemblies has a body with a recess for a flexible washer, which is attached to a bolt body (or formed with the bolt body) and threaded either down in a base plate or directly into the roof. The bolt body and body form a double stud assembly, which also holds a flashing onto the roof to provide further water proofing.

1 . An adjustable roof standoff for use in mounting an object to a roof, the standoff comprising:
 a core body having upper end and a lower end adapted for attachment proximate to a roof surface;   said lower end of said core body including a bottom surface having:
 a central attachment element aligned with a centerline axis of the core body for attaching said core body to the roof surface; 
 a recess surrounding said central attachment element; and 
 a ridge surrounding said recess, wherein a bottom edge of said ridge is disposed in a common plane to permit contact with a planar surface associated with the roof surface; 
   said upper end of said core body including external threads extending over at least a portion of an outside surface of said core body;   a soft annular element disposed in said recess, wherein said soft washer is at least partially compressed when said ridge is compressed against the planar surface; and   a cover having a top end and a bottom end;
 said bottom end being recessed and having internal threads adapted to engage said external threads of said upper end of said core body; and 
 said top end having an attachment element for attaching an object to said cover, wherein a height of said top end of said cover measured from the roof surface is adjustable via selective threaded engagement of said internal threads of said cover with said external threads of said core body.
