Details

Primary Examiner: Friedman; Carl D.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Turlock; Lance A.

A conduit housing for enclosing the juncture between a roof and an elongated conduit such as flexible cable or a pipe extending upwardly through the roof is disclosed. The housing may be installed while the conduit remains in situ and without disconnecting the conduit from an external utility to which it is connected. The housing includes first and second base sections, a hood, and a conduit opening extending through a side wall of the housing. The base sections are slidably engageable with each other around the conduit on the roof to form a base assembly. The base assembly has an open top and extends peripherally around an interior region containing a lower portion of the conduit. The hood is engageable with the base assembly to cover at least the open top of the base assembly. The conduit opening is sized to provide a passage for the conduit from within the interior region to an external region outside the housing, and it may extend through a side wall of the base assembly or a side wall of the hood.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Three conduit housings in accordance with the present invention are shown in the drawings.
The first as shown in FIGS.
1-7 is a housing generally designated 100 used to enclose a juncture 510 between a roof 500 and an elongated flexible cable 600 extending upwardly through the roof.
The second as shown in FIGS.
8-17 is a housing generally designated 200 used to enclose a juncture 511 between roof 500 and a pipe 700.
The third as shown in FIG.
18 is a housing,generally designated 300 used to enclose a juncture (not shown) between roof 500 and a pipe 800.
Embodiment Shown in FIGS.
1-7 Housing 100 includes first and second base sections generally designated 110, 170 (see FIG.
5) slidably engageable with each other to form a four-sided base assembly generally designated 101 (see FIG.
2); and a hood 190.
A conduit opening 166 extends through side wall 160 of the base assembly, and a U-shaped conduit channel 195 extends outwardly from the opening.
Channel 195 is sized to provide a passage for cable 600 for a distance outwardly from opening 166 and is preferably capped by lid 196 which slidingly fits over the sides of the channel.
Hood 190 is engageable with base assembly 101 to cover both the open top defined by perimeter 105 and channel 195.
Apart from fasteners or welds (not shown) that may be used to join various parts, the entire housing is preferably fabricated from thin sheet metal such as aluminum.
Base section 110 has a generally three-sided construction, two of the three sides being opposed to each other and extending in parallel; the third side transversely interconnecting the opposed sides.
The opposed sides have a mirror image construction.
One of the opposed sides includes an outwardly extending base flange 112, an intermediate side wall 116 merging with and extending on a cant (preferably about 45 degrees) upwardly and inwardly from flange 112; and an upper side wall 120 merging with and extending vertically from wall 116 to perimeter 105.
An inverted L-shaped flange 125 extends outwardly from the top of wall 120 to provide a counter-flashing
