In the construction herein shown the outsidefinish" consists. 0fa coating -of stucco' 26;; although the finish can equally well be siding; and the furring and stucco can be replaced by shingles, clapbo'ards; siding,-or the like. :Imthe .detail shown in'Figzfi; theffuifring'24 and, stucco 26 of :Fig. 2:are replaced shin I 1 g1es28. The lower portion of the' lwindow' frame, whichincludes the bott oniportionof V the up'rightsIO and 'the sill 12, is adapted to be. containedwithin a watertight weather pan constructed essentially as illustrated-in Figs; Lthroughvi, .the pan ,being 'compos'ed Zoftelescoping sections bywhich thelength Q i of the [pan can be adjusted to fit windows of. kvar'iouslengths and widths. 'Fofr' this ,ipu'rposevthe pan consistsofisheetmetaland has the bottom wall 30 provided with upstanding side walls 32 at the ends and an upstanding rear wall 34 which extends be tween the side walls. The pan is located between the vertical studs 14, and the side walls 32 are nailed or otherwisefixed to. the studs. .The2bottom wall 30 is'inclined prac tically at the inclination of the sill, the inner p ortion'of the wall being higherthan the outer or front portion and" the front portion resting upon theedge of the furring 22. The
window frame is located in the .pan with the sill resting on the bottom thereof and the uprights 10 located between theside walls 32, the rear wall 34 upstanding behind the inner-vertical face of the sill as illustrated in Eig. *2, and. being eventually concealedby tll;StOOl cap '36 and the inner casing 38. The front portion of the bottom wall is provided with an upstanding horizontal inverted channel/section 40 which forms-the "front-or outer walls of the pan and is located in a groove 42 that is in the bottom face :of-Ethe window sill sand is coextensive with the length thereof. The channel is adapted towreeeive anupstanding tongue 44. ofithe furring whereby to :provide aweathertight joint betwee-ni the furringan'd the pan. Tfie vertical outer side wall of the channel is .preferably'tprovided with a longitudinallinpdenta'tion46fsolas to cause-the wall to snugly ,engage--:the tongue o-fgthef furring and the "wall is: suiiiciently resilient to-permitit to flex when the furring is forced into the changnel j'The pan;is also providedwith a hori- -;zonta1fsection.48 that-is below 'thel channel findEis, lociated'beneaththe window sill and fie-seated on a shoulder 50*ofthe furring and hasija dependingrib 52'formed'by reflexing the sheetmetal practically upon itself'which 1s j-located between the furring and the finish s26 so as to prevent water-driving into the wall under the pan. The forward horizontal 11p or edge'54 :of the pan is secured by nails ;-5 6 ;-to"the bottom face of the window sill. 1 .It; will be understood that the finish: 261s applied after, the pan-and: the windowframe 7 mare 1n position. The pan is supported by a wedge-block 158 which is located under the bottom. of thelpan and over the horizontal Theumanner inwhich the inner wall 34 is also adjustable toward and away from the outer edge of the pan. To
this end, the bottom portion of the wall 34 is provided with a'horizontal Wall 60 which is inturned to provide a tongue 62' that lies between the wall, 30' and the inturned tongue 64' thereof5 thereby providing an interlocking telescoping connection between the upstanding inner wall and the bottom wallthat permitsa considerabledegree of movement of-the vertical wall over the bottomwall; The inner wall 34 also has a similar interlocking adjustableconnection 66 with the inner ends .of each of the upstanding end Walls32. The outer edges of the end walls 32 aresoldered to the upstanding channel 40, or. are otherwise connected therewith in a Watertight.mannerlso that wateri'can not "leak: out of the pani-at the sides; Those rear portions of the end walls thatare carried by the' sections bearing the rear wall 34" are also preferably similarly secured to'the ends -of' the rear:wall.
In installing the pan, :it is placedin the-window openingon top of the :wedge iblo'ck- 58 andthe end sections'pulled out until the end walls 32 engage the studs-.14, whereupon they are nailed to the studs. Alayer of cement, preferably; of the elastic or nonhardeningtype," "is then applied" over, the
joint'between theendsections to make the connection-:therebetween watertight, the cement extending from t-he'connection between 1 the rearr wall and the bottom wall up to the z-top ofthe 'channelt40 over the channel to'the outer edge 54 of the pan. The window frame isthen seated in the pan and'the rear sections moved outwardly until the rear walls 34 engage the inner vertical face of the Sl'll -lZO which they can be nailed.-
The interlocking connection: between the inner wall-34 and the bottom of Qthe 'pan is located at a level which is above the top of the channel 40 sothat water can notrise in the pan to the level of the connection, the water, instead, flowing over the top of the channel and-escaping to the outside of the building walli' Any Waterthat is en trapped inithe pan, behind the front wall, or channel 40, will'soon disappear byevap- 1 The construction hereinish'own renders the .entrance'of water into the Wall under the sill extremely fidifficultr" The outer edgef 54 of the bottom wall is secured tightly-to the low- 7 "er face o f zthe' window silLand the vertical channel 40: is located ina groove'in the-window sill so that rain'can not be driven in between the and the sill.
