Abstract
Window drain comprises, in general, a base having a horizontally extending lower surface and a sloping downwardly and outwardly upper surface. To the base are connected: a front flange, an upstanding rear rib, an end flange at each end, window supports and spacers attached on the front flange. In one embodiment, the window drain is made for a window of a specific width. In another embodiment, the window drain, is versatile so it can be used for windows of different widths. In a third embodiment, the window drain can be made, in situ, for different window widths.
Claims8
Window drain, adaptable to be positioned beneath a sill of window, window drain comprising said sill, opposed jambs and a window flange, said window drain including
- a base having a horizontally extending lower surface and a sloping downwardly and outwardly upper surface, said base having a substantially rectangular shape in plan;
- a front flange projecting perpendicularly and downwardly from a front edge of said base;
- an upstanding rear rib situated at a rear edge of said base from which it perpendicularly extends;
- an end flange, located at each lateral edge of said base, comprising an upstanding end wall projecting from said lateral edge and
- a front wall coplanar with said front flange and extending upwardly and downwardly from said base, each of said end flanges being provided with openings adaptable to use attachment means for securing to a vertical stud of a window frame, when installed;
- window support means, spacedly disposed on said sloping downwardly and outwardly upper surface and having coplanar tops;
- and
- said window drain being adaptable to accommodate a window having a width, measured between the back of said sill and the back of said window flange, equal to the distance between the front face of said upstanding rear rib and said outsurfaces of said spacers.
Window drain, adaptable to be positioned beneath a sill of a window, window drain comprising, said sill, opposed jambs and a window flange, said window drain including
- a base having a horizontally extending lower surface and a sloping downwardly and outwardly upper surface, said base having a substantially rectangular shape in plan;
- a front flange projecting perpendicularly and downwardly from a front edge of said base;
- an upstanding rear rib, situated proximate to a back edge of said base from which it perpendicularly extends, said upstanding rear rib being provided with several spaced apertures along its length;
- a supplementary rear rib, situated behind and parallel to said upstanding rear rib and projecting from said back edge of said base;
- an end flange, located at each lateral edge of said base, and comprising
- an upstanding end wall, projecting from said lateral edge, and a front wall coplanar with said font flange and extending upwardly and downwardly from said base, each of said end flanges being provided with openings adaptable to use attachment means for securing said window drain when installed;
- window support means, spacedly disposed on said sloping downwardly and outwardly upper surface and having tops coplanar with the top of said upstanding rear rib, the top of said supplementary rear rib being relatively higher;
- and
- spacers disposed on said front flange;
- said window drain is so designed, that the distance between said supplementary rear rib and the front faces of said spacers is adaptable to accommodate a window having the widest standard width, respectively the largest distance between the back edge of said sill and the back of said window flange;
- and
- said window drain is also so designed, that the distances between intermediary lines, which are situated between said supplementary rear rib and said upstanding rear rib, on one side, and the front faces of said spacers, on the other side, are adaptable to accommodate windows of intermediary widths, respectively intermediary distances between the back edge of said sill and the back of said window flange.
Window drain, adaptable to be positioned beneath a sill of a window, and comprises, said sill, opposed jambs and a window flange, said window drain including
- a base having a horizontally extending lower surface and a sloping downwardly and outwardly upper surface, said base having a substantially rectangular shape in plan;
- a front flange projecting perpendicularly and downwardly from a front edge of said base;
- an upstanding rear rib, situated proximate to a back edge of said base from which base it perpendicularly extends;
- a supplementary rear rib, situated behind and parallel to said upstanding rear rib and projecting from said back edge of said base;
- an end flange located at each lateral edge of said base, each said end flange, comprising
- an upstanding end wall projecting from said lateral edge and a front wall coplanar with said front flange and extending upwardly and downwardly from said base, each of said end flanges being provided with openings adaptable to use attachment means for securing said window drain when installed;
- window support means, spacedly disposed on said upper surface and having its tops coplanar;
- spacers disposed on said front flange;
- and
- the tops of said upstanding rear rib and supplementary rear rib being coplanar and relatively higher than the tops of aid window support means.
