A prefabricated wall insert unit is disclosed for rapid installation in a wall having an outer surface, an internal space, a ceiling plate, and a floor support. When installed, an exterior assembly, with upper and side perimeter attachment areas, projects away from the outer wall surface. A header is fastened to the exterior assembly proximate the upper perimeter attachment area and is within the wall internal space immediately below the ceiling plate. At least two side support members are fastened to the upper support member and to the exterior assembly proximate the side perimeter attachment areas. When installed in the wall, the header and each said side support member are within the wall internal space and each side support member extends from the header to proximate the wall floor support. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to create a structurally stable prefabricated wall insert unit that is easily and quickly mounted into a wall opening, wherein the wall opening is cut to a predetermined size to eliminate unnecessary reconstruction around the cut opening to finalize the insertion.
A further object of the present invention is to present a prefabricated wall insert unit containing a header and side supports that permits the insertion of a desired structure such as a bay window, fireplace, closet, balcony, and the like into an exterior wall of an existing building.
An additional object of the present invention is to relate a method of efficiently and quickly installing a prefabricated wall insert unit so as to minimize the need for finishing repairs to the original wall.
Still another object of the present invention is to produce a method of installing a prefabricated wall insert unit into a wall of a building, by use of lifting means secured to the insert unit, in a period of time significantly shorter than the time required to construct an insert at the building's location and install the insert and with a minimum of installation personnel.
Disclosed is a prefabricated wall insert unit for installation in a wall of a building.
Generally, the wall has an outer surface, an internal space, a ceiling plate, and a floor support.
The subject apparatus comprises an exterior assembly having upper and side perimeter attachment areas.
When the insert unit is installed in the wall, the assembly projects away from the outer wall surface.
An elongated upper support member or header has two opposing ends and first, second, and third faces.
The header is fastened by its first face to the exterior assembly proximate the upper perimeter attachment area.
When the insert unit is installed in the wall the upper support member is within the wall internal space with the second face proximate the ceiling plate.
A plurality of side support members, usually two on each side, are fastened to the upper support member third face and to the exterior assembly proximate the side perimeter attachment area
