  • Patent number: 6860070
    Abstract: A utility pipe encasement collar for preventing water from weather related sources such as rain and snow from traveling rearwardly along the exterior surface of the utility pipe and into a building structure from which the pipe projects. In a first embodiment the collar includes a weather proof elastomeric sheet material having an opening therethrough sized to inherently huggingly accommodate a utility pipe passed through the opening, and a generally rigid support member extending laterally from the elastomeric sheet material. In a second embodiment the collar includes a first generally rigid weather proof sheet member having an upright generally U-shape opening therethrough and a second generally rigid weather proof sheet member having an inverted generally U-shape opening therethrough.

  • Patent number: 6649835
    Abstract: Moisture-proof flashing panel mounts for use on residential and commercial electrical junction box to be disposed within a building structure wall. The mounts are formed as a generally flat moisture-impermeable panel having therethrough an exteriorly projecting flanged opening defining a frame having an interior frame surface. The interior frame surface of the residential mount is complimentary in shape to the perimeter border of the residential junction box and is sized to allow the shaped border to reside by friction fit within the frame. The exteriorly projected flanged opening of the commercial mount simulates standard commercial single gang; 2 gang; 3/0 and 4/0 box configurations and is mounted to the junction box by plural threaded fasteners.

  • Publication number: 20020062972
    Abstract: A moisture-proof flashing panel mount for an electrical connector box to be disposed within a building structure wall when such a box has a shaped border defining an exteriorly accessible opening into which electrical wiring eventually is directed. The mount is a generally flat and generally rigid moisture-impermeable panel having therethrough an exteriorly projecting lipped opening defining a frame having an interior frame surface. This interior frame surface is complimentary in shape to the shaped border of the connector box and is sized to allow the shaped border to reside by friction fit within the frame. The remainder of the panel is disposed lateral to the frame and is effectively covered with wall finishing material such as lath paper and stucco which is applied to also surround the outer wall of the exteriorly projecting lip that forms the frame.
