An improved detachable nailing flange construction for window and door frames is disclosed. The flange configuration allows the flange to be rotated between collapsed and operative extended positions, while retainably attached to the frame. When collapsed, the flange is protected by the frame for shipment and handling. Means are provided for locking the flange into its extended position and for providing a weathertight seal with the frame. The direction of attachment to the frame can be reversed for selectively adjusting the lateral position at which the flange projects from the frame so as to vary the set-back of the frame relative to the wall in which it is to be installed. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A detachable flange for a window or door frame of the type having a longitudinally extending retainer groove formed below an outer surface of the frame and accessible along its length through a longitudinal access port extending from the outer surface of the frame, comprising: (a) an elongate generally planar strip member having a length as determined by the longitudinal length of the frame to which the flange is to be attached and first and second longitudinally extending edges defining therebetween the width of said strip member; (b) a seat extension extending at an angle to the general plane of said strip member and connected thereto along the longitudinal length of the first edge of said strip member, said seat extension extending between said strip member and a third edge; (c) attachment means forming an extension of said seat extension for detachably securing said seat extension and strip member to a window frame, said attachment means being sized and configured to matingly engage the retainer groove through the access port in a manner such that while retainably engaged by said groove, said strip member and seat extension are rotatably movable between operative and collapsed positions, when in said collapsed position said strip member lying generally parallel to that portion of the frame to which it is attached when in said operative position, said strip member projecting outwardly from said frame with said seat extension being seated against said frame; and (d) wherein said strip member and said seat extension are configured such that their orientation relative to one another does not change in operative use.
2.
A detachable flange as recited in claim 1, wherein said strip-like member comprises a semirigid material.
3.
A detachable flange as recited in claim 2, wherein said strip-like member is made of vinyl.
4.
A detachable flange as recited in claim 1, wherein said flange includes seal means operatively connected for movement with said flange for providing a weathertight seal between said flange and the frame when said flange is disposed in said operative position
