  • Condensation evacuating window sill
    Patent number: 6848225
    Abstract: A condensation evacuating sill for evacuating condensate having formed on an inner surface of a window pane includes a molding strip and an attachment extrusion for attaching the molding strip to the window frame. The attachment extrusion includes an extrusion-to-molding attachment section for attaching the molding attachment surface to the attachment extrusion and an extrusion-to-frame attachment section for attaching the attachment extrusion to the window frame. The attachment extrusion is configured and sized for attaching the molding strip to the window frame so that the molding inner edge is spaced relative to the inner surface by a pane-to-molding spacing allowing the condensate to flow therethrough without contacting the molding strip. The attachment extrusion further includes flow guiding components for guiding the flow of condensate from the pane-to-molding spacing to a discharge location located away from the attachment extrusion.
