Mounting apparatus

摘要

A mounting apparatus with self-sealing properties that is used for installing solar modules and other types of equipment and material by attaching it through roofing or other exterior or interior surfaces is disclosed. The mounting apparatus uses a bolt with a toggle to mount a body to the structural sheathing rather than bolting to a structural framing member. A nut is tightened on the bolt to secure the toggle on one side of the roofing or other exterior or interior surfaces while a plunger is simultaneously driven to dispose a sealant. Using the mounting apparatus eliminates the need for finding the centerline of a structural framing member and assures the quality and the integrity of the seal around the mounting apparatus.
