Window buck and methods of assembly

A window buck for forming a window frame opening in a wall, said window buck comprising:

• side member means for defining a window frame opening, said side member means being formed to have:
• a perimeter for extending about the window frame opening, and
• a first end and a second end each having a plurality of at least three side by side openings;
• and
• connector means formed for mechanically connecting said first end and said second end, said connector means being a locking member which has a first member sized and shaped for insertion into and engagement with a selected one of said first plurality of openings in said first end and which has a second member sized and shaped for insertion into and engagement with a corresponding selected one of said second plurality of openings in said second end.

A window buck for forming a window frame opening in a wall having an interior surface, said window buck comprising:

• side member means assembled to define a window frame opening, said side member means being formed to have:
• a perimeter,
• a width adapted to be substantially the width of a wall into which the window buck is to be placed,
• a plurality of internal channels each side by side and hollow and extending along said perimeter,
• an interior surface facing toward said window opening,
• an interior flange extending away from said interior surface and adapted to extend along the interior surface of said wall, and
• at least two ends each formed to abut the other proximate the end of the other;
• and connector means for holding said at least two ends in abutment to each other.

A window buck for forming a window frame opening in a wall, said window buck comprising:

• side member means assembled to define a window frame opening, said side member means being formed to have:
• a perimeter,
• a width adapted to be substantially the width of a wall into which the window buck is to be placed,
• a plurality of internal channels of substantially the same size in cross section, each of said channels being coaxial and aligned in a row with each of said channels being hollow and extending along said perimeter, and
• at least two ends each formed to abut the other proximate the end of the other;
• and
• a locking member for holding said at least two ends in abutment to each other, said locking member having one end sized and shaped for insertion into and engagement with any one of and each of said plurality of channels in one of said at least two ends and having another end sized and shaped for insertion into and engagement with a corresponding any one of and each of said plurality channels in the other of said at least two ends.
