Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
A mounting top for the outwardly extending horizontal edge portions of a skylight comprising: a frame having at least one elongated side which has a raised inner edge portion, an intermediate horizontal surface portion below the raised inner edge portion and an outer surface sloping downwardly from the horizontal surface portion, a plurality of alined upright supports spaced along said outer surface, each having a horizontal upper bearing surface above the level of the intermediate surface for supporting the outer horizontal side member of a skylight, an upstanding rib member on the upper surface of each upright support parallel to the inner edge of the frame side for abutting the peripheral edge of the horizontal edge portion of the skylight, the space between the supports forming downwardly sloping passageways and the rear ends of the supports being adjacent the intermediate horizontal portion of the frame side to form therewith a plurality of channels, and a water permeable sealing member seated on said intermediate portion of the frame side engaging the underside of the horizontal edge portion of the skylight when seated on the upright supports, to form a ventilation block.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
A mounting top for the outwardly extending horizontal edge portions of a skylight comprising: a frame having at least one elongated side which has a raised inner edge portion, an intermediate horizontal surface portion below the raised inner edge portion and an outer surface sloping downwardly from the horizontal surface portion, a plurality of alined upright supports spaced along said outer surface, each having a horizontal upper bearing surface above the level of the intermediate surface for supporting the outer horizontal side member of a skylight, an upstanding rib member on the upper surface of each upright support parallel to the inner edge of the frame side for abutting the peripheral edge of the horizontal edge portion of the skylight, the space between the supports forming downwardly sloping passageways and the rear ends of the supports being adjacent the intermediate horizontal portion of the frame side to form therewith a plurality of channels, and a water permeable sealing member seated on said intermediate portion of the frame side engaging the underside of the horizontal edge portion of the skylight when seated on the upright supports, to form a ventilation block.
