Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A frame for an opening of a relocatable building comprising a header and jambs, the ends Of the header being connected to adjacent ends of the jambs, and means connecting together the ends of the jambs remote from the header, each of said header and jambs having a body, a face and a flange, said face and flange projecting in opposite directions from opposite longitudinal edges of said body and at substantially right angles to said body, the opposed end edges of said face and flange extending at substantially 45* to the outer longitudinal edges of said bodies and engaging one another in end edge to end edge engagement, and the ends of the bodies of the header and jamb being in end to side surface engagement.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
