Split-block recess mount apparatus

An apparatus for securing to an exterior surface of a structure closely adjacent to a conduit extending into the structure so as to circumscribe the conduit, said apparatus comprising:

• a base assembly comprising a first portion and a second portion, each of said first and second portions having interengaging structure for permitting said portions to be positioned relative to each other in a desired orientation after each of said portions is positioned against said exterior surface closely adjacent said conduit;
• each of said first and second portions further including an upstanding wall portion;
• each of said first and second portions further including a central panel portion having a cut-out, said cutouts being formed so as to form a single, continuous opening when said portions are positioned adjacent one another against said exterior surface of said building to permit a portion of said conduit to protrude therethrough;
• each of said first and second portions further including securing areas for permitting external fastening members to be used to secure each of said first and second portions to said exterior surface of said structure when said first and second portions are positioned in said desired orientation against said exterior surface;
• a cover member having a continuous inner protruding wall portion and a flange extending laterally thereof, said inner protruding wall portion being engageable with an exterior surface of said upstanding inner wall portions to surround said upstanding inner wall and hold said cover member to said base assembly and maintaining said first and second portions together;
• and
• said first and said second portions of said base assembly being independently separable .

An apparatus for circumscribing an area closely adjacent a conduit protruding through an exterior surface of a wall of a structure, said apparatus comprising:

• a base assembly comprising first and second portions, each of said portions including a planar flange portion for permitting each of said first and second portions to be secured to said exterior surface of said structure and an integrally formed, upstanding inner wall projecting outwardly from its associated said flange portion, each of said flange portions including at least one opening for permitting an external fastening element to extend therethrough to secure said flange portion to said exterior surface of said structure;
• each of said first and second portions further including a central panel portion with a cutout being formed in at least one of said central panel portions for permitting passage of said conduit therethrough;
• a cover member having an inner protruding wall portion adapted to engage with said upstanding inner wall of said first and second portions of said base assembly and further including a flange protruding laterally of said inner protruding wall portion for partially covering said flange of each of said first and second portions
• said upstanding wall of said first portion including an interlocking portion adapted to receive an interlocking portion on said upstanding wall of said second portion;
• and
• said inner protruding wall portion of said cover member including a recess adapted to receive said interlocking portions on said upstanding wall of said first and second portions.

An apparatus for surrounding an area adjacent to a protruding member on an exterior surface of a building, said apparatus comprising:

• a first member including first and second portions which can be secured together by interlocking portions;
• an independent second member securable to said first member when said first and second portions of said first member are coupled together;
• said second member including a recess adapted to receive said interlocking portions of said first member;
• one of said first and said second members comprising a base member including a cut-out adapted to permit passage of the protruding member;
• and
• said other of said first and second members comprising a cover member securable to said base member.
