1. A roof standoff device for use in mounting an object to a roof, said standoff device comprising:
- a base bracket having at least one mounting hole for receiving an attachment element for attaching the base bracket to a roof surface, said base bracket further including a first threaded attachment element;
a flashing having;
a raised section with an upper surface and an aperture extending through said raised section, wherein said aperture is configured for alignment with said first threaded attachment element of said base bracket;
a flange extending beyond a base of said raised section, wherein, when disposed over said base bracket on the roof surface, an inside surface of said raised section receives and surrounds said base bracket and said flange rests on the roof surface;
a core body having a first end and a second end, said second end having a contact surface;
a second threaded attachment element associated with said second end of said core body, said second threaded attachment element configured to threadably engage said first threaded attachment element, wherein, upon said first and second threaded attachment elements being threadably engaged, said flashing is compressed between said base bracket and said second end of said core body; and
said core body having a third attachment element disposed proximate to said first end for attaching an object to said core body.

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.

14. A roof standoff device for use in mounting an object to a roof, said standoff device comprising:
-
a base bracket having at least one mounting hole for receiving an attachment element for attaching the base bracket to a roof surface, said base bracket further including a first threaded attachment element and a raised surface surrounding the first threaded attachment element; a flashing having; a raised section with a planar upper surface and an aperture extending through said raised section; and a flange extending beyond a base of said raised section, wherein, when disposed over said base bracket on the roof surface, an inside surface of said raised section overlays said raised surface of said base bracket surrounding said first threaded attachment element; a core body having a first end and a second end, said second end having a contact surface disposed in a common plane about its periphery; a second threaded attachment element configured to threadably engage said first threaded attachment element, wherein, upon said first and second threaded attachment elements being threadably engaged, said flashing is compressed between said raised surface surrounding said first threaded element and said second end of said core body, wherein said periphery of said contact surface is in direct contact with said planar upper surface of said flashing; and said core body having a third attachment element disposed proximate to said first end for attaching an object to said core body. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
