Abstract
A method of installing a window and composite window bracket comprises a first member and a second member, and an at least one accessory member to couple the composite window bracket to at least one accessory bracket. The first member includes a first surface extending from a first end of the first member to a second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end first member to the second end first member, the first surface of the first member to be coupled to a support beam. The second member supports a window disposed on the first surface of the second member.
Claims20
A composite window bracket comprising:
- a first member including a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end of the first member to the second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end of the first member to the second end of the first member, the first surface of the first member attachable to a support beam;
- and
- a second member including a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end of the second member to the second end of the second member, meeting the first surface of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end of the second member to the second end of the second member, meeting the second surface of the first member;
- a third accessory member positioned proximate the first end of the second member, the third accessory member forms an outwardly opening slot facing away from the first member, between the accessory member and the second member, and adapted to receive a second accessory bracket within the slot thereof,
- wherein the composite window bracket comprises a plurality of fibers within a resin matrix.
A composite window bracket comprising:
- a first member including a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end of the first member to the second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end of the first member to the second end of the first member, the first surface of the first member attachable to a support beam;
- and
- a second member including a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end of the second member to the second end of the second member, meeting the first surface of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end of the second member to the second end of the second member, meeting the second surface of the first member;
- a third accessory member positioned proximate the first end of the second member, the third accessory member forms an outwardly opening slot facing away from the first member, between the accessory member and the second member, and adapted to receive a second accessory bracket within the slot thereof;
- a first accessory member, the first accessory member formed on the second surface of the first member, wherein the first accessory member extends outwardly from the second surface of the first member, the first accessory member having a substantially uniform cross-sectional configuration along a width of the composite window bracket and further including a pair of opposite angled ends;
- and
- a second accessory member, the second accessory member formed on the second surface of the second member.
A bracket system comprising:
- a composite window bracket including:
- a first member including a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end of the first member to the second end of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end of the first member to the second end of the first member, the first surface of the first member attachable to a support beam;
- and
- a second member including a first end, a second end, a first surface extending from the first end of the second member to the second end of the second member, meeting the first surface of the first member, and a second surface extending from the first end of the second member to the second end of the second member, meeting the second surface of the first member;
- a third accessory member positioned proximate the first end of the second member, the third accessory member forms an outwardly opening slot facing away from the first member, between the accessory member and the second member, and adapted to receive a second accessory bracket within the slot thereof;
- a second accessory bracket attachable to the third accessory member, the second accessory bracket includes a tab, the tab being slidably insertable into the outwardly opening slot of the third accessory member.
