Abstract
An adjustable roof curb system includes: a roof-mountable appliance; an adjustable roof curb device, including a top curb component with left and right pivoting pins and a base curb component; and locking screws; such that a longitudinal inclination angle is adjustable by pivoting of the top curb component relative to the base curb component; such that the adjustable roof curb device is adjustable for mounting on a pitched surface of a roof, such that the longitudinal inclination angle is equal to a roof pitch angle of the roof, such that the top surface of the top curb component is adjusted to be level; such that the roof-mountable appliance is level mountable on the top curb component.
Claims21
An adjustable roof curb system, comprising:
- a) a roof-mountable appliance;
- and
- b) an adjustable roof curb device, comprising:
- a top curb component;
- and
- a base curb component;
- wherein the top curb component is configured to slide over the base curb component, such that a longitudinal inclination angle, between a top surface of the top curb component and a bottom surface of the base curb component, is adjustable by pivoting of the top curb component relative to the base curb component;
- wherein the top curb component further comprises:
- a top curb body;
- a right pivot pin mounted on an inner right surface of a front upper part of a right side of the top curb body;
- and
- a left pivot pin mounted on an inner right surface of a front upper part of a left side of the top curb body;
- such that the right pivot pin and the left pivot pin are configured to contact with a right side and a left side of the base curb component, respectively, to function as pivot points during adjustment of the longitudinal inclination angle;
- whereby the adjustable roof curb device is configured to be adjustable for mounting on a pitched surface of a roof, such that the longitudinal inclination angle is equal to a roof pitch angle of the roof, such that the top surface of the top curb component is adjustable to be level;
- such that the roof-mountable appliance is mounted level on the top curb component.

9 more elements
An adjustable roof curb system, comprising:
- an adjustable roof curb device, comprising:
- a top curb component;
- and
- a base curb component;
- wherein the top curb component is configured to slide over the base curb component, such that a longitudinal inclination angle, between a top surface of the top curb component and a bottom surface of the base curb component, is adjustable by pivoting of the top curb component relative to the base curb component;
- and
- wherein a top front angle between a top front side and a top upper edge of the top curb component is larger than a bottom front angle between a bottom front side and a bottom upper edge of the base curb component, to enable pivoting of the top curb component relative to the base curb component while ensuring water sealing of the adjustable roof curb device;
