Modular fastening system for flower boxes on pitched roofs

Abstract

Modular fastening system for flower boxes on pitched roofs, comprising: • two joint mechanisms, each equipped with two hooks, whereby the joints are designed to be extendable to the side or downwards, • The system is mounted on a sloping roof surface without any fixed screw connections or fixings, stabilising itself on the roof surface solely through its own weight.

Description

[0001] The "Modular Mounting System for Flower Boxes on Pitched Roofs" is an innovative, flexible solution for mounting flower boxes on roof surfaces with varying pitches. The system is designed to be installed without drilling or permanent fixings and securely adapts to the roof surface. It consists of two main components: a hinge mechanism with four hooks that form the mounting system for the flower boxes. Technical features and functionality: 1. Modular system: The system consists of two joints, each with two hooks on each side. These are designed to extend sideways or downwards as needed to increase the number of attached flower boxes as needed. 2. Easy installation: The components are simply placed on the roof surface and require no drilling, screws, or permanent fastenings. The system's weight (the weight of the flower boxes) ensures that it remains secure and stable on the roof surface, without the need for additional brackets or structural modifications to the roof surface. 3. Adaptability to roof pitches: The system is applicable to roof surfaces with a pitch angle of up to 90°. It is compatible with various roof shapes and can be flexibly installed without the need for a special roof structure. 4. Expandability: The mounting system is modular, allowing additional flower boxes to be added as needed. Extension units can be integrated with minimal effort to adapt the system to individual needs. 5. Reinforced weight support: The entire system utilizes its own weight for stabilization. The design is optimized to distribute the weight evenly, ensuring a secure and resilient attachment. 6. Flexibility of use: The system can be applied to a wide variety of roof surfaces without the need to modify the roof structure. The components can be quickly assembled and disassembled, making the system particularly flexible and user-friendly.

Claims
