No-drill permanent-like surface mounting device

Abstract

This invention relates to the configuration of a mounting base and a method of mounting objects to hard surfaces using the combination of at least one anchoring screw, bolt, rod, or assembly; one mounting base; and one chemical bonding material to perform the anchoring function.

1 .- 11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . A mounting assembly, comprising:
 a rigid substantially undeformable mounting base having a bottom surface and top surface, the rigid substantially undeformable mounting base including one or more threaded mounting holes fully penetrating there through; and   bond enhancing marks located in the bottom surface of the rigid substantially undeformable mounting base, the bond enhancing marks such that the bottom surface has a greater surface area for a given unit area than the top surface has for the same unit area.   
     
     
         13 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , further including one or more threaded members engaging the one or more threaded mounting holes. 
     
     
         14 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , further including a chemical bonding material configured to bond the bottom surface of the substantially undeformable mounting base to an object, the greater surface area for the given unit area providing improved bonding. 
     
     
         15 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the bond enhancing marks are grooves in the bottom surface. 
     
     
         16 . The mounting assembly of  claim 15 , wherein the grooves are two or more concentric grooves. 
     
     
         17 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the top surface includes a tapered edge. 
     
     
         18 . The mounting assembly of  claim 17 , wherein the tapered edge is about a 60-degree tapered edge. 
     
     
         19 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the rigid substantially undeformable mounting base has a circular configuration. 
     
     
         20 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the rigid substantially undeformable mounting base has a square configuration. 
     
     
         21 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the rigid substantially undeformable mounting base has a hexagonal configuration. 
     
     
         22 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , wherein at least one of the one or more threaded mounting holes is aligned substantially along a center line of the rigid substantially undeformable mounting base. 
     
     
         23 . The mounting assembly of  claim 12 , wherein this rigid substantially undeformable mounting base is a steel rigid substantially undeformable mounting base.
