Abstract
A window well system including at least two window-well modules designed to be stacked is disclosed. Each module has a curved wall including an inner wall section, outer wall sections, an upper surface section unitary with the inner wall section, and a base having several indentations arranged along its underside. Of the outer wall sections, an upper outer wall section is unitary with the upper surface section. Between the upper outer wall section and a lower outer wall section is a curvilinear horizontal ledge. Between the inner and outer wall sections is an air space. Along the horizontal ledge are several projections oriented upwardly and sized and configured to mesh with and fit into the indentations formed in the base of a like window well module to be placed on the upper surface section.
Claims5
A window-well system comprising at least two vertically stacked window-well modules, wherein one of the at least two vertically stacked window-well modules is an upper window-well module and another one of the at least two vertically stacked window-well modules is a lower window-well module, and wherein each of the at least two vertically stacked window-well modules comprises:
- a curved wall defining:
- a curved inner-wall section,
- a curved outer-wall section spaced from the inner-wall section;
- a curvilinear upper-surface section unitary with the inner-wall section;
- a curvilinear ledge spaced from the upper-surface section and unitary with the upper and lower outer-wall section, wherein the ledge defines two or more integral projections extending therefrom in a direction of the upper-surface section;
- and
- a curvilinear base spaced from the ledge and unitary with the outer-wall section, wherein the base defines an underside surface defining integral indentations configured to engagedly receive the two or more integral projections extending from the ledge of an upper window-well module stacked thereabove.
