Adjustable framing member

Claim 2

An adjustable wall penetration framing member for defining at least a portion of the opening of the penetration wherein the wall penetration member comprising: a. an elongated open trough having spaced sidewalls on each side thereof, said open trough having inner and outer sides and said open trough having its outer side facing said opening of said wall penetration; b. an elongated base comprising an open channel having relatively spaced side walls on each side thereof, said open channel having its open side facing said open trough and said open channel being adapted to slidingly fit into said open trough; c. means positioned on said inner side of said open trough between said spaced side walls for effecting a weatherseal between said open trough and said base member; and d. a plurality of adjustable means positioned along the length of said base and said trough for providing relative adjustment therebetween and for fixing said trough and said base in selected adjusted positions.

Claim 3

An adjustable wall penetration framing member for defining at least a portion of the opening of the penetration, wherein the wall penetration member comprising: a. an elongated base member; b. an elongated open trough having spaced sidewalls on each side thereof, said open trough having inner and outer sides and said open trough being positioned adjacent said base member with its open or inner side facing said base member; c. means positioned on said inner side of said open trough between said spaced sidewalls for effecting a weatherseal between said open trough and said base member; and d. a plurality of adjustable means positioned along the length of said base and said trough for providing relative adjustment therebetween and for fixing said trough and said base in selected adjusted positions, said adjustable means comprising a threaded member received in threaded engagement with said base member, and means mounted on said threaded member for holding said open trough relative to said base member including means axially mounted on said threaded member for engaging the inner surface of said trough and for restricting movement of said trough towards said base, said axially mounted means including a bracket carried by said threaded member and a lock-nut which engages said bracket and locks onto said threaded member in a fixed axial position.

Claim 4

An adjustable wall penetration framing member for defining at least a portion of the opening of the penetration, wherein the wall penetration member comprising: a. an elongated base member; b. an elongated open trough having spaced sidewalls on each side thereof, said open trough having inner and outer sides and said open trough being positioned adjacent said base member with its open or inner side facing said base member; c. means positioned on said inner side of said open trough between said spaced sidewalls for effecting a weatherseal between said open trough and said base member; and d. a plurality of adjustable means positioned along the length of said base and said trough for providing relative adjustment therebetween and for fixing said trough and said base in selected adjusted positions, said adjustable means comprising a threaded member received in threaded engagement with said base member, and means mounted on said threaded member for holding said open trough relative to said base member including means axially mounted on said threaded member for engaging the inner surface of said trough and for restricting movement of said trough towards said base, said axially mounted means including a bracket carried by said threaded member and a lock-nut which engages said bracket and locks onto said threaded member in a fixed axial position.

Claim 5

An adjustable wall penetration framing member for defining at least a portion of the opening of the penetration, wherein the wall penetration member comprising: a. an elongated base member; b. an elongated open trough having spaced sidewalls on each side thereof, said open trough having inner and outer sides and said open trough being positioned adjacent said base member with its open or inner side facing said base member, said elongated trough including two inner ribs extending along at least a portion of the length of said trough; c. means positioned on said inner side of said open trough in compartments formed between said spaced sidewalls and said inner ribs for effecting a weatherseal between said open trough and said base member; and d. a plurality of adjustable means positioned along the length of said base and said trough and engaging said inner ribs of said elongated trough for providing relative adjustment therebetween and for fixing said trough and said base in selected adjusted positions.

Claim 6

An adjustable wall penetration framing member for defining at least a portion of the opening of the penetration, wherein the wall penetration member comprising: a. an elongated base member; b. an elongated open trough having spaced sidewalls on each side thereof, said open trough having inner and outer sides and said open trough being positioned adjacent said base member with its open or inner side facing said base member, said elongated trough including two inner ribs extending along at least a portion of the length of said trough; c. means positioned on said inner side of said open trough in compartments formed between said spaced sidewalls and said inner ribs for effecting a weatherseal between said open trough and said base member; and d. a plurality of adjustable means positioned along the length of said base and said trough and engaging said inner ribs of said elongated trough for providing relative adjustment therebetween and for fixing said trough and said base in selected adjusted positions.

Claim 7

The adjustable wall penetration framing member as recited in claim 3 wherein: a. said elongated base comprising an open channel having relatively spaced sidewalls on each side thereof, is an open channel having its open side facing said open trough and said open channel being adapted to slidingly fit into said open trough; b. said adjustable means for providing relative adjustment between said base and said trough including a threaded member received in threaded engagement with said base, said threaded member engaging the outer surface of said open trough and adjustable therethrough, and said threaded member carrying means for engaging an inner portion of said trough and for restricting movement of said trough relative to said base; and c. said means positioned on said inner side of said open trough between said relatively spaced sidewalls for effecting a weatherseal between said open trough and said base member comprising a resilient, deformable, water impervious material.
