Mount and clamp assemblies employed in solar power installations are disclosed. In some embodiments, a mount assembly having a rail and opposing wings extending outwardly from the rail is disclosed. Each wing includes a top surface and a bottom surface for creating a chemical flashing, a groove and a sealant-receiving cavity extending away the bottom surface and upwardly into the wing, and a compressible seal with a circumferential pressure relief passageway. In some embodiments, a clamp having an upper member and a lower member with two horizontal flanges and a vertical flange is disclosed; in this embodiment, adjacent modules may be clamped together without an underlying structure mounted directly below to an installation surface. In another embodiment, a fourth flange is included in the mount assembly; in this embodiment, adjacent modules may be clamped together while being mounted directly to an installation surface.

Mount and clamp assemblies

Chemical flashings for track assemblies and mount assemblies employed in solar power installations are disclosed. In some embodiments, a track assembly having a base, a pair of rails, a sealant receiving cavity and a round groove extending into the base from the bottom of the base, and a compressible round seal disposed within the base extending past the bottom is disclosed. In some embodiments, a mount assembly having a vertical structure, a sealant receiving cavity and a round groove extending into the base from the bottom of the base, a compressible round seal disposed within the base extending past the bottom, and an excess sealant cavity is disclosed.

Mount assemblies with chemical flashings

The present invention includes devices and methods that assist in hanging pictures or other things in a desired position on a wall or other surface where it is desired to insert two or more mounting nails or studs. Embodiments of the invention include a pair of nail-inserting punch assemblies that are provided on one or more stabilizing bars, although other embodiments may include more than two punch assemblies. Preferred embodiments may also include a measuring strip (ruler) between the punch assemblies, a slidable level, a slidable nail or stud carrier, and/or a laser. The unique nail insertion mechanism of each punch includes a sleeve for receiving a finishing nail, a magnet for holding the nail in place, and a coil spring for maintaining the handle in striking position. After positioning the device on a wall, applying punching force to each handle collapses the spring and causes a nail to be driven into the wall.

Wall punch assembly and methods of use

The present invention includes devices and methods that assist in hanging pictures or other things in a desired position on a wall or other similar surface where it is desired to insert two or more mounting nails. Embodiments of the invention include a pair of punch assemblies for inserting the nails provided on a pair of parallel stabilizing bars, although other embodiments may include more than two punch assemblies. Preferred embodiments also include a measuring strip (ruler) between the punch assemblies, and a slidable level and/or a laser. The unique nail insertion mechanism includes a sleeve for receiving a finishing nail, a magnet for holding the nail in place, and a coil spring for maintaining the handle in striking position. After positioning the device on a wall, applying force to each handle collapses the spring and causes a nail to be driven into the wall.
