Abstract
A rigid window well structure having first and second planar side walls and a planar front wall; first and second connecting walls, where the first connecting wall joins the first side wall to the front wall, and the second connecting wall joins the second side wall to the front wall, such that each of the walls expose an interior surface and an exterior surface; and a step bridged between the interior surface of at least two non-parallel walls, at least one of the two non-parallel walls being planar.
Claims31
A rigid window well structure comprising:
- a) a first generally planar side wall;
- b) a second generally planar side wall;
- c) a generally planar front wall;
- d) a first connecting wall;
- e) a second connecting wall, wherein the first connecting wall joins the first side wall to the front wall and the second connecting wall joins the second side wall to the front wall, such that each of the walls expose an interior surface and an exterior surface;
- and
- f) a step bridged between the interior surfaces of at least two non-parallel walls wherein at least one of the at least two non-parallel walls is generally planar and wherein the step being bridged between the interior surfaces adds rigidity to, and stiffens the structure.

- b) a second generally planar side wall;
- c) a generally planar front wall;
- d) a first generally planar connecting wall;
- e) a second generally planar connecting wall wherein the first connecting wall joins the first side wall to the front wall and the second connecting wall joins the second side wall to the front wall, and wherein the connecting walls are each configured at from about 120-150° in relation to the interior surface of the front wall and from about 60-120° in relation opposing connecting wall;
- and
- f) a step bridged between an interior surface of at least two non-parallel generally planar walls and wherein the step being bridged between the interior surfaces adds rigidity to, and stiffens the structure.

- and wherein the walls define an interior surface of the structure, an exterior surface of the structure, and at least one step that bridges at least two non-parallel generally planar walls, and wherein the at least one step being bridged between the at least two non-parallel generally planar walls adds rigidity to, and stiffens the structure and wherein the at least one step defines a cavity along the exterior surface.
