This application claims the benefit and priority of a Provisional Application No. 62/282,696 filed on Aug. 10, 2015. The entire disclosures of each of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a vinyl wood wrap, and more Particularly to the ability to be opened and close around said members.
This section provides background information related to the present disclosure and is not necessarily prior art.
Vinyl is used in this application thus to demonstrate weather resistance.
A wrap constructed of any material may be another example of said purpose.
In construction there has always been several problems with materials that are currently being used. The first is the weather, and the second is insects.
When you look at the weather, rain rots wood and rust steel. The sun dry-rots wood. My invention encapsulates wood, and steel in a impervious sleeve. Weather proofing said members.
When you look at insects the biggest problem is termites, carpenter ants and carpenter bees. Just to name a few. This sleeve protects a wood member against said damages. By encapsulating it.
Currently there is nothing on the market that I have been able to find. There is real necessity for such a product, especially in the southern United States.
This section provides a general summary of this disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all its features.
A vinyl wrap constructed in accordance with one example of present disclosure can include 4 sides, 1 female key way, 1 male key way, 3 rolled beads (for corner bends) and have the ability to be closed and then reopened.
A vinyl wrap constructed in accordance with another example of the present disclosure can include walls of different thicknesses.
The vinyl wrap can be installed in a horizontal or vertical manner or direction.
The vinyl wrap has the ability to stop insect damage when sealed with a silicon or similar product.
The drawings described herein are for illustrative purposes only of selected embodiments and not all possible implementations and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
Fig A is a partial cross-section view of open vinyl wrap.
Fig B is a partial cross-section view of closed vinyl wrap.
Fig C is a flat view of the vinyl wrap prior to forming.
Fig D is an exploded cross-section view of parts: 1 female key way, 2,3,4 rolled form beads to assist in forming, 5 male key way.
parts 6, 7, 8, 9, being four flat sides of wrap to form sides of box.
Fig B illustrates parts 1 (female), and 5 (male) key ways locked together to complete box form.
Fig A illustrates parts 1 (female), and 5 (male) key ways unlocked to open wrap.
FIG. A is a front perspective view of an open vinyl wrap device of the present invention.
FIG. B is a front perspective view of the present invention showing a closed vinyl wrap.
FIG. C is a flat view of the vinyl wrap device prior to forming of the present invention.
FIG. D is an exploded view of the present invention.
part 6 can be cut as to fit around any wood member that may intersect at an angle of not less than 0 degrees and no more than 359 degrees of vinyl wrap surface, and still have the ability to lock parts 1 and 5 together.
Fig B may be cut at any angle to intersect corners, be it horizontally or vertically, silicon or other sealant should be used on all joints.
No fasteners should need to be used, but may be used if so wanted.
parts 1 and 5 when locked will still provide ventilation at seam as not to let condensation accumulate inside said box when the wrap is locked.
There has been no new matter, or significant changes made to my drawings or statements made. I have included pages 1-12, and 3 drawings (marked 1/3, 2/3, both with figures, A,B,C,D, and FIGS. 1-9. page 3/3 details for FIGS. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) there are a total of 15 pages.
