Abstract
A universal skirt board has a base, a top flange section, an overhang section, and a sealing flange attached to the top flange section. The base has at least one ridge extending away from the base in a first direction, and a projection extending in the first direction. The top flange section is attached to the base. The overhang section is also attached to the base and defines a drip edge. The sealing flange is attached to the top flange section. The at least one ridge is formed to rest on a top of a base board. The projection is formed to fit into a slot defined in the top of the base board to provide an interference connection.
Claims13
A universal skirt board comprising:
- a base having at least one ridge extending away from the base in a first direction, and a projection extending in the first direction;
- a top flange section positionable adjacent to the base;
- an overhang section positionable adjacent to the base defining a drip edge;
- a sealing flange attached to the top flange section;
- and
- wherein the at least one ridge is formed to rest on a top of a base board;
- and
- wherein the projection is sized and configured to fit into a slot defined in the top of the base board to provide an interference connection;
- and
- wherein the sealing flange comprises a gasket and a lower edge, the lower edge located between the gasket and the top flange section;
- and
- wherein the lower edge comprises a support structure that is sized and configured to form a seal with the gasket when a force exerted on an exterior surface of the gasket causes an interior surface of the gasket to be compressed against the lower edge.
A universal skirt board comprising:
- a base having at least one ridge extending away from the base in a first direction and a projection extending in the first direction;
- a top flange section adjacent to the base and extending away from the base in a second direction that is parallel to the first direction;
- an overhang section adjacent to the base defining a drip edge;
- a sealing flange attached to the top flange section, wherein the sealing flange is sized and configured such that a seal is formed between the sealing flange and a member independent of the universal skirt board when a force exerted by the member is exerted on an exterior surface of the sealing flange;
- and
- wherein the at least one ridge is formed to rest on a top of a base board;
- and
- wherein the projection is sized and configured to fit into a slot defined in the top of the base board to provide an interference connection;
- and
- wherein the sealing flange comprises a gasket and a lower edge that is formed between the gasket and the top flange section such that a seal is formed by the gasket when a force exerted on an exterior surface of the gasket causes an interior surface of the gasket to be compressed against the lower edge.
