Prefabricated window stool/apron unit

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
1 shows a prefabricated window stool/apron unit 10 mounted to a casement C of a window W.
As shown in FIG.
3 through FIG.
6, the window stool/apron unit 10 comprises an essentially horizontal ledge member 12 and an essentially vertical skirt member 14.
As seen in FIG.
2, the ledge member 12 has an essentially flat top horizontal surface 16 and an essentially flat back vertical surface 18.
As shown in FIGS.
2 and 5, the top horizontal surface 16 has a back edge 16a which is coterminal with a top edge of the vertical surface 18.
The top surface 16 and the back surface 18 of the ledge member 12 are essentially perpendicular with one another.
The skirt member 14 has an essentially flat vertical back surface 20.
The skirt member 14 is positioned beneath the ledge member 12 whereby the back surfaces 18, 20, respectively, of the ledge member 12 and skirt member 14 are essentially flush with one another to form a flat abutment surface 22.
The skirt member 14 is oriented to receive fasteners 24 which extend orthogonally through the skirt 14 with respect to the abutment surface and into either the window casement C (as in the case of FIG.
1) or into wallboard WB (as in the case of FIG.
7).
The fasteners 24 may be threaded as shown, or instead may take the form of nails.
A vertical front surface 30 of the ledge member 12 and a vertical front surface 32 of the skirt member 14 are contoured with an appropriate design.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various alterations in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
For example, the length of the ledge and skirt members comprising the window stool/apron unit depends upon the type and size of window in connection with which the unit is to be employed.
