Climate shelter
11371251 · 2022-06-28 ·

A climate shelter has a cover defining a valence and a moisture diverter proximate to a horizontal support. A side panel is releasably secured to the cover under the valence. The side panel includes a slot passage interior relative to the valence. The moisture diverter has an opening, a plurality of downwardly converging passage walls, and a moisture chute extending downwardly and outwardly relative to the walls. At least a portion of the moisture chute extends outwardly through the slot passage. Moisture contacting the cover enters the opening and is directed downwardly and outwardly by the walls into the moisture chute, and then outwardly for discharge exterior to a side panel. A portion of the discharge chute is disposed between the side panel and the valence.

ELEVATOR TRENCH DRAIN

A trench drain includes a trench, a grating seat and a grating hingedly connected to the trench. The trench has a base wall with peripheral side walls extending upwardly therefrom and an outwardly-extending peripheral flange. The grating seat is configured to receive the grating. The peripheral side walls of the trench have a pair of opposing elongated slots formed therein and the grating has a pair of posts on opposing ends thereof. Each of the pair of posts on the grating are received in a respective one of the pair of opposing elongated slots of the trench to establish an axis of rotation.

MODULAR DRAIN ASSEMBLY FOR POD CONSTRUCTED ROOM

A drain assembly for installation in a shower floor, the drain assembly including a drain body including an upper surface defining a top side, and a lower surface opposite the upper surface defining a bottom side. The drain assembly also defines an aperture extending along an axis through the drain body between the upper surface and the lower surface and includes an outlet having a flange and an elongated body. When assembled, the elongated body is configured to extend below the lower surface of the drain body when the flange rests on the upper surface. The drain assembly also includes one or more fasteners configured to couple the outlet to the drain body to form a water-tight seal therebetween, where each of the one or more fasteners are accessible from the top side.

11719462 · 2023-08-08 · ·

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a duct support assembly. The duct support assembly can include a frame structure and a duct support. The duct support can be configured to be installed in a floor assembly between a first beam portion of a first wall frame and a second beam portion of a second wall frame and to provide a duct exit from the frame structure. The duct support can be configured to transfer a tension and/or compression load. Also disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of using a duct support to provide a duct exit from a frame structure. The method can include positioning the duct support in a floor assembly between a first beam portion of a first wall frame and a second beam portion of a second wall frame.

System and method for a vented and water control siding, vented and water control sheathing and vented and water control trim-board

A vented and water control paneling has improved drainage and integrated ventilation air space. The water control paneling may be fabricated with an omnidirectional relief pattern formed on its back surface. The relief pattern spaces the vented and water control paneling away from a structure to which it is secured, thereby providing an omnidirectional drainage plane between the back surface of the paneling and the structure. The omnidirectional drainage plane provides an unimpeded ventilation and drainage path of water and/or water vapor.
