Conduit tile hook

Abstract

A Conduit Tile Hook is disclosed for supporting a conduit above a roof. The Conduit Tile Hook simply slides under an existing roof tile, without cut-outs or removing any nails, and allows the conduit to sit 1.5″ off of the roof surface to decrease the effects of heating caused by solar irradiance.

1 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a conduit tile hook for supporting a conduit above a roof, the conduit tile hook comprising:
 a hook section configured to hook onto a front edge of a first roof tile that is covered by a portion of a second roof tile; 
 a second section extending from the hook section; and 
 a raised section in a fixed relation to the second section, the raised section being at a different elevation relative to the second section, and the raised section configured to support the conduit above the roof. 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second section extends from the hook section at a 90 degree angle. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second section and the raised section are planar sections, and the raised section is elevated 1.5 inches with respect to the second section. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second section and the raised section are planar sections, and the raised section is elevated 3 inches with respect to the second section. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the hook section and the second section are integrally formed with each other. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the hook section, the second section and the raised section are integrally formed with each other. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the raised section is not integrally formed with the second section. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the raised section is affixed to the second section by at least one of screws, welding and gluing. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the conduit tile hook is formed of aluminum. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the aluminum conduit tile hook has an anodized finish. 
     
     
         11 . A conduit tile hook for supporting a conduit above a roof, the conduit tile hook comprising:
 a first section configured to hook onto a front edge of a first roof tile that covered by a portion of a second roof tile to secure the tile hook on the first roof tile;   a second section extending from the first section at an angle;   a third section extending from the second section at an angle;   a fourth section extending from the third section at an angle, the fourth section configured to support the conduit above the roof; and   a firth section extending from the fourth section at an angle.   
     
     
         12 . The conduit tile hook of  claim 11 , wherein second section extends from the first section at a 90 degree angle. 
     
     
         13 . The conduit tile hook of  claim 11 , wherein third and fifth sections have the same length. 
     
     
         14 . The conduit tile hook of  claim 11 , wherein the third section extends from the second section at a 90 degree angle, the fourth section extends from the third section at a 90 degree angle, and the fifth section extends from the fourth section at a 90 degree angle. 
     
     
         15 . The conduit tile hook of  claim 11 , wherein the third and fifth sections space the fourth section above the second section by a distance of 1.5 inches. 
     
     
         16 . The conduit tile hook of  claim 11 , wherein the third and fifth sections space the fourth section above the second section by a distance of 3 inches. 
     
     
         17 . The conduit tile hook of  claim 11 , wherein the first, second, third, fourth and fifth sections are integrally formed with each other. 
     
     
         18 . The conduit tile hook of  claim 11 , wherein not all of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth sections are integrally formed with each other. 
     
     
         19 . The conduit tile hook of  claim 11 , wherein the conduit tile hook is formed of aluminum. 
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the aluminum conduit tile hook has an anodized finish.
