Abstract

A method for packaging solar mounting attachments by forming a package box having a first end and a second end, sealing the first end of the package box, placing attachment brackets into compartments defined by dividers in the package box, placing a container of fasteners onto at least one of the attachment brackets, and placing flashings onto at least one other attachment bracket. The flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets may be removed from the package box from the second end in the order of flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method for packaging solar mounting attachments comprising:
forming a package box having a first end and a second end; sealing the first end of the package box; placing attachment brackets into compartments defined by dividers in the package box; placing a container of fasteners onto at least one of the attachment brackets; and placing flashings onto at least one other attachment bracket, wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets may be removed from the package box from the second end in an order of flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets.

2 . The method for packaging solar mounting attachments in claim 1 , wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets may also be removed from the package box from the second end in a second order of the container of fasteners, flashings, and attachment brackets.

3 . The method for packaging solar mounting attachments in claim 1 , wherein the container of fasteners and the flashings may also be removed simultaneously.

4 . The method for packaging solar mounting attachments in claim 1 , wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets are then installed in the order of the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets.

5 . A method for packaging solar mounting attachments comprising:
forming a package box having a first end and a second end; sealing the first end of the package box; placing flashings into the package box adjacent to the first end; placing a container of fasteners adjacent to the flashings and the first end; and placing attachment brackets into compartments defined by dividers, the attachment brackets and compartments adjacent to the flashings and the container of fasteners, wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets may be removed from the package box from the first end in an order of flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets.

6 . The method for packaging solar mounting attachments in claim 5 , wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets may also be removed from the package box from the second end in a second order of the container of fasteners, flashings, and attachment brackets.

7 . The method for packaging solar mounting attachments in claim 5 , wherein the container of fasteners and the flashings may also be removed simultaneously.

8 . The method for packaging solar mounting attachments in claim 5 , wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets are then installed in the order of the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets.

9 . A package box comprising:
a first end and a second end; attachment brackets placed adjacent to the first end; a container of fasteners adjacent to and on top of at least one of the attachment brackets; and flashings adjacent to the container of fasteners and on top of at least one other of the attachment brackets, wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets may be removed from the package box from the second end in an order of flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets.

10 . The package box of claim 9 , further comprising:
dividers disposed in the package box and adjacent to the first end, the dividers defining compartments in the package box, wherein the attachment brackets are placed in the compartments defined by the dividers, the container of fasteners are adjacent to and on top of at least one of the dividers, the flashings are adjacent to and on top of at least one other of the dividers.

11 . The package box of claim 9 , wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets may also be removed from the package box from the second end in the order of the container of fasteners, flashings, and attachment brackets.

12 . The package box of claim 9 , wherein the container of fasteners and the flashings may also be removed simultaneously.

13 . A method for removing solar mounting attachments from a package box, comprising:
opening a first end of the package box having the first end and a second end; removing flashings from the first end of the package box; removing a container of fasteners previously adjacent to the flashings from the first end; and removing attachment brackets from compartments defined by dividers, the attachment brackets and compartments previously adjacent to the flashings and the container of fasteners, wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets are then used for installation in an order of at least one of the flashings, at least one of the fasteners in the container of fasteners, and at least one of the attachment brackets.

14 . A method for installing solar mounting attachments, comprising:
opening a first end of the package box having the first end and a second end; removing attachment brackets from compartments defined by dividers, the attachment brackets and compartments previously adjacent to the flashings and the container of fasteners; removing flashings adjacent to the container of fasteners from the first end of the package box; and removing a container of fasteners disposed on the second end from the first end, wherein the flashings, the container of fasteners, and attachment brackets are then used for installation in the order of at least one of the flashings, at least one of the fasteners in the container of fasteners, and at least one of the attachment brackets.
