Patio enclosure

In a room structure for attachment to the exterior wall of a building and adapted for use with a power source associated with said building, said room structure comprising a frame assembly including a horizontally disposed header beam, a vertically disposed post beam having upper and lower end portions, and a wall panel connected to the header and post beams to form a room closure, the improvement comprising means for concealing and routing an elongated service wire from said building to an area of said room structure remote to the building, said wire having rearward and forward ends with the rearward end thereof connectible to the source, said means for concealing and routing comprising:

• said post beam including a closed chamber for receiving a portion of said wire and positioning the forward end of said wire proximate to the lower end portion of said post beam,
• said header beam including an outwardly open first channel for receiving and passing a portion of said wire proximate to the rearward end of said wire, a downwardly open second channel for receiving and fitting atop the upper end portion of said post beam, and an outlet for passing a medial portion of said wire between the second channel and into the closed chamber of said post beam,
• first means for removably connecting the upper end portion of said post beam to said header beam,
• a cover plate,
• second means for removably connecting said cover plate in covering relation with said outwardly open first channel to form a closed raceway for passing and concealing a portion of said wire, removal of said cover plate exposing and providing access to the wire portion therein, and
• third means for accessing the forward end portion of said wire in said box chamber.

A room structure attached to a building, comprising

• a wall assembly including at least one horizontally disposed header beam and at least one vertically disposed post beam for supporting the header beam, said header beam and post beam being configured to pass an electrical service wire from the building to the post beam, in an accessible but concealed manner, wherein to provide electrical services to the room structure at a location remote to the building, wherein
• said post beam includes opposite end portions and closed chamber extending between the ends thereof,
• said header beam includes opposite and portions and outwardly open first and second channels at right angles to one another, said first channel including an outlet,
• means for connecting one end portion of the post beam to the second channel to form a right-angled structure with the outlet registered with the chamber,
• a cover plate for removably covering said second channel to form an closed yet accessible raceway for receiving, concealing and passing said wire, at least in part, through said first channel and into said chamber, and
• an outlet plate for accessing the chamber, said outlet plate being distal to the one end portion of said post beam to access said electrical wire in the post beam.
