Abstract
A protective door jamb system integrally connected to a door frame. The door jamb system of the present invention includes both a door stop and jamb cladding each manufactured from an extruded plastic product such as hollow rigid plastic, cellular plastic, granular filled plastic or fiber filled plastic. The door stop and jamb clad are each designed to attach to a door jamb substrate through compression deflected fingers. The door jamb system of the present invention may also include a weather strip to ensure a weather-tight seal of a door when the door is closed into the frame. The jamb clad of the present invention covers the recessed portion of the door jamb substrate adjacent the jamb to completely cover the substrate and thereby increase both the structural and aesthetic integrity of the frame. The door jamb system of the present invention therefore permits use of otherwise aesthetically unpleasing, and less expensive material, for the door jamb substrate, with the advantage being that a high quality product may be manufactured for less associated cost.
Description
DOOR JAMB SYSTEM WITH
PROTECT~VE STOP AND JAMB CLADD~NG
Background Of The Invention The present invention relates generally to door frames used in a building, and more particularly to a door jamb system that increases both the aesthetic and structural integrity of a door frame and reduces maintenance requirements.
A conventional exterior door frame typically includes a door jamb system. The door jamb system provides a weather-tight seal between the interior and exterior of a building when a door attached thereto is shut within the frame. The jamb system includes side jambs which are located along the inner peripheral vertical edges of the frame and abut the side edges of the door when the door is shut within the frame. A head jamb is located along ehe top inner periphery of the door frame and abuts the top edge of the door when the door is shut into the frame. The side and head jambs also typically include some form of weather strip to prevent air and other outdoor elements from entering the building interior when the door abuts the side and head jambs. In addition to providing the weather-tight seal, the side and head jambs prevent the door from swinging through the frame.
Because an exterior door frame acts as an interface between the building interior and exterior, the associated jamb system is continually exposed to harsh conditions, such as moisture, sunlight and temperature extremes, which typically cause damage to and decrease the useful life of the jamb system. Therefore, conventional s~stem components must be protected from such conditions to ensure structural longevity.
Several approaches have been used in the past to protect jamb system components.In a traditional approach, wood-based door jambs are covered with paint, varnish or other ' CA 02207190 1997-06-0~
wet applied protective coatings. However, such wood-based preservative systems require periodic reapplication and typically only provide marginal protection to the jamb.
In another approach, film or laminent coverings are applied over wood-based door jambs and bonded thereto with adhesives. However, such adhesives often become detached S from the jambs due to such conditions as moisture seepage and thermal bow caused by extreme temperature conditions.
In yet another approach, to overcome the above-mentioned problems associated with wood-based door jamb systems, door jamb systems m~nllf~ctllred from solid cellular plastic material, hollow rigid plastic materials or composite materials have been produced. Door 10 jamb systems made from such materials do not require the periodic reapplication of wet applied protective coverings, nor do such plastic-based systems require any type of protective covering. However, door jambs made from such synthetic materials often lack the structural integrity of wood-based door jambs. In addition, such systems are typically vulnerable to thermal bow and thermal expansion and contraction. As a result, doors mounted within 15 frames having such jamb systems typically do not fit in a weather-tight manner once the jamb system has been subjected to such conditions.
In another approach, door jamb clads manufactured from steel, aluminum or plastic have been used in the past to cover portions of wood-based door frames to protect the door frames from exposure to extreme weather conditions. However, a typical door jamb clad 20 covers only a part of the door frame, thereby requiring a high quality substrate, such as wood, to be used as the frame itself to m~in~;lin both the struct~ral and aesthetic integrity of the frame. Further, such door jamb clads typically require a time consuming installation procedure, thereby increasing the associated cost of the door frame system.

.
Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a door frame having a clad/jamb system that is integrally attached to the door frame to enhance both the structural and aesthetic qualities of the door frame and to permit the frame to be constructed of a material less expensive than high quality wood while m~int~ining frame structural integrity. It would also S be desirable to provide a door frame having a clad/jamb system that makes the frame less susceptible to changes caused by exposure tO extreme weather conditions and thereby increases the overall life of the frame.
Summary Of The Invention ~n accordance with the above-described needs, the present mvention provides a door 10 frame having a protective door jamb system integrally connected to the door frame. Through implementation of the door jamb system of the present invention, a door jamb substrate may be manufactured from a composite material such as oriented strand board, chip board, plywood, fiber board, or other lower quality wood board products, as well as any of the more commonly used, and more expensive wood, plastic or metal-based products.
The door jamb system of the present invention includes both a door stop and jamb cladding each manufactured from an extruded plastic product such as hollow rigid plastic, cellular plastic, granular filled plastic or fiber filled plastic. The door stop and jamb clad are each designed to attach to a door jamb substrate through compression deflected fingers.
The door jamb system of the present invention may also include a weather strip to ensure a 20 weather-tight seal of a door when the door is closed into the fr~me. The jamb clad of the present invention covers the recessed portion of the door jamb substrate adjacent the jamb to conlpletely cover the substrate and thereby increase both the structural and aesthetic integrity of the frame. The door jamb system of the present invention therefore permits use CA 02207190 1997-06-0=.
of otherwise aesthetically unpleasing, and less expensive material, for the door jamb substrate, with the advantage being that a high quality product may be manufactured for less associated cost.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a door frame having a 5 clad/jamb system that is integrally attached to the door frame to protect the door frame from extreme weather conditions.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a door frame having a clad/jamb system that allows the door frame to be constructed from a relatively inexpensive substrate having less aesthetically pleasing qualities than conventional door jamb systems 10 without sacrificing door frame structural integrity.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a door frame having a clad/jamb system that enhances both the structural and aesthetic qualities of the door ~rame itself.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a door frame having a 15 clad/jamb system having minim~l assembly and maintenance requirements.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a door clad/jamb system that mechanically interlocks with a door frame substrate to increase the overall structural integrity of the door frame itself.
These and other various advantages and features of the present invention will become 20 apparent from the following description and claims, in conjunction with the appended drawings.

Detailed Description Of The Preferred Embodiments Referring to the drawings, a door frame according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 10 in FIGS. 1 and 2. The door frame 10 consists of vertical iamb substrate members 12, 14 extending upwardly from a conventional door frame sill 16. A head jamb substrate member 18 extends across, and is integral with, the top edges of the vertical jamb substrate members 12, 14. When assembled in a conventional manner, the vertical jamb substrate members 12, 14, the sill 16 and the head jamb substrate member 18 define a door passageway 20 into which a door 22 attached to the frame by hinges 23 is selectively opened and closed. A door clad/jamb system, hereinafter referred to as a door jamb system, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and shown generally at 24, is mechanically mterlocked with the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 as will be described below.
Referrlng to FIGS. 1-3, the vertical jamb substrate members 12, 14 and head jamb substrate member 18 each include an outer surface 26, 28, 30 integrally attached to a 5 building doorway structure (not shown) in a conventional manner. Each of the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 also includes a first end surface, exemplified by the surface 31 of the vertical member 14 in FIG. 3, to which decorative molding 32 is attached to give the door frame system 10 an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Decorative molding (not shown) may also be added to a substrate member end surface, such as the end surface 33 of the vertical member 14, of the door as desired. Each of the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 also includes an inner surface, such as the inner surface 40 of the vertical member 14 shown in FIG. 3. The inner surfaces of the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 define slotted receptacles, such as those shown at 42a, 42b and 44a, 44b in FIG. 3. In addition, the end surfaces and outer surfaces of each of the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 define side channels, such as those shown at 46 in FIG. 3. The slotted receptacles 42a, 42b and 44a, 44b and the channels 46 allow the door jamb system 24 to be integrally interlocked to the door jamb substrate members I2, 14, 18 in a manner that will be described now in more detail.
Referring now in detail to FIG. 3, a cross-sectional view of the door jamb system 24 20 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown, the door jamb system 24 includes both a door stop 50 and a door jamb cladding 52. Preferably, the door stop 50 is formed of extruded rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC). However, it should be appreciated that the door stop may also be formed from other plastic-based products, such as cellular plastic, granular filled plastic, or fiber filled plastic or any other type of lightweight, rigid material capable of being attached to the frame substrate as described below. The stop has a continuous length matching that of the substrate member to which it is attached and includes structural support ribs 54. The stop also includes an abutrnent face 56, an outer wall 57 and a jamb channel 58. The jamb channel 58 is defined by an inner channel surface 59 defining jamb apertures 60, and a base wall 61. Retaining flanges 62 of a conventional weather strip 63 are inserted into the apertures 60 to retain the weather strip in a position adjacent the abutment face 56. The abutment face and the door stop provide a weather-tight seal between the door frame 10 and the door 22 when the door is closed into the frame 10. The stop also includes an anchor panel 65 including a channel engaging lip 68. Preferably~ the jamb has an associated thickness of about 0.5 inches measured from the face of the base wall 61 to the face of the outer wall 57 and an associated depth of about 2.125 inches measured from the abutment face 56 to the anchor panel 65. However, these dimensions may vary according to the dirnensions of the particular door frame and application.
Still referring to FIG. 3, the stop base wall 61 includes an angled flange 70 and deflection fingers 72 extending outwardly therefrom. Both the flange and the fingers may be continuous along the stop length or may be formed at predeterrnined spaced distances along the stop length as desired. The deflection flange 70 is preferably forrned at a 45~
angle with respect to the base wall surface. The deflection flange includes a curvilinear tip 74 which curves outwardly away from the inner surface of the stop for mechanically interlocking the flange 70 within the slotted receptacle 42a as ~ill be described in detail below. The deflection fingers 72 each include a main body portion 76 and a hook portion ~ 78 formed at approximately 45~ with respect to the body portion. As with the curvilinear CA 02207190 1997-06-0~
tip 74, the hook ponions mechanically interlock the deflection fingers with the receptacles 42b.
Still referring to FIG. 3, the jamb cladding 52 is preferably formed from extruded rigid PVC. However, the jamb cladding may also be formed in lengths corresponding to the lengths of the substrate members or in shorter lengths for modular assembly from any of the materials used to form the jamb or of any other material exhibiting similar structural characteristics. The cladding 52 includes a flat planar inner panel 80 and a cover panel 82.
The inner panel includes an angled deflection flange 84 having a curvilinear tip 86, and a deflection finger 88 having a main body portion 90 and a hook portion 92. The flange and fingers interlock the cladding 52 to the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 in a manner identical to that of the stop 50. The jamb cladding cover panel covers the portion of the substrate members that would otherwise be exposed to outdoor weather elements. The cover panel includes a cladding lip 94 the interlocks with the length of the substrate channel 46 to further interlock the cladding to the substrate member.
It should be appreciated at this point, that, although the stop 50 and the jamb cladding 52 are shown as separate components in FIG. 3, the stop and the jamb cladding 52 could be manufactured as a single integral component. Also, it should be appreciated that the weather strip 63 could also be integrally extruded along with the stop 50 to minimi7e assembly time and difficulty.
Referring to FIG. 3, assembly of the door frame system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be discussed. 'Each of the vertical jamb substrate members 12, 14 and the head member 18 are cut to predetermined desired lengths.
The slotted receptacles 42a, 42b, and 44a, 44b are then formed at predetermined locations in each of the jamb substrate members 12, 14 and 18. Subsequently, the stop sections of the CA 02207190 1997-06-0~
jamb system are inserted over the outer surface of the substrate members and are integrally connected through interlocking channel lip 68 with the channel 46, the flange 70 with the slotted receptacle 42a, and the fingers 72 with the slotted receptacles 42b. Similarly, the jamb cladding sections are inserted over the inner surfaces of the substrate members not 5 covered by the stop such that the channel lip 94 interlocks with the channel 46, the flange 84 interlocks with the slotted receptacle 44a, and the finger 88 interlocks with the slotted receptacle 44b. Optionally, an adhesive of the type well known in the art may be extruded into the slotted receptacles and/or the channels before the flanges, the fingers, or the lips are interlocked therein to further secure the iamb and the jamb clad to the substrate. Subsequent 10 to the stop 50 and the jamb cladding 52 being interlocked over the inner surfaces of the members 12, 14, 18, the vertical members are secured to the door sill 16. The head member 18 is then secured to top edges of the vertical members in a manner well known in the art.
Molding 34 is then attached to a surface of the substrate as shown to form a finished door frame. Door hinges and latches may be installed before or after the door frame system is 15 positioned within a building threshold as desired.
It should be appreciated at this point that both the stop 50 and the jamb cladding 52 of the present invention, by being mechanica}ly interlocked with the door frame substrate members, form an outer shell over the jamb substrate members that increases the structural stability of the substrate members. Thus, less expensive and lower quality composite wood 20 board products, such as oriented strand board, chip board, plywood, fiber board, finger jointed wood products, as well as extruded fiber and plastic prdducts, quality wood, steel, alllminl]m and other conventional door frame products can be used to form the substrate members In addition, the jamb system of the present invention protects underlying substrate members from weather elements such as moisture, ultraviolet light and temperature extremes, CA 02207190 1997-06-0~
and thus increases the life of the door frame itself. In addition, the door jamb system of the present invention provides an aesthetically pleasing outer cover to the substrate members, thus allowing lower quality, and otherwise unsightly, materials to be used for the substrate members.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a door jamb system according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 100. The door jamb system 100 is similar in structure and function to the system shown in FIG. 2. However, the stop 102 and the jamb cladding 104 are formed as a single integral component. In addition, the deflection fingers 106 all extend from the jamb and the jamb clad at substantially a 90~ angle and include darts, indicated generally at 110, as opposed to deflection fingers or curvilinear tips extending from the flanges and deflection fingers shown in FIG. 3. The darts 110 mechanically interlock with slotted receptacles 112 found in the substrate member 114 to secure the single piece jamb system onto the door jamb substrate members. The single piece jamb system thus provides added structural stability and aesthetic qualities to the door frame similar to the door jamb system shown in FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG.. 5, a third preferred embodiment of the door jamb system is shown generally at 120. The door jamb system 120 includes a stop 122 and a jamb cladding 124 similar in structure and function to the earlier described first and second preferred embodiments. However, the subsystem 120 is a single integral unit having cover panels 126, 128 that extend around, and conform to, the end surfaces of substrate member 130. The substrate member 130 does not include edge channels, such as th~ channels 46 shown in FIG.

Detailed Description Of The Preferred Embodiments Referring to the drawings, a door frame according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 10 in FIGS. 1 and 2. The door frame 10 consists of vertical iamb substrate members 12, 14 extending upwardly from a conventional door frame sill 16. A head jamb substrate member 18 extends across, and is integral with, the top edges of the vertical jamb substrate members 12, 14. When assembled in a conventional manner, the vertical jamb substrate members 12, 14, the sill 16 and the head jamb substrate member 18 define a door passageway 20 into which a door 22 attached to the frame by hinges 23 is selectively opened and closed. A door clad/jamb system, hereinafter referred to as a door jamb system, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and shown generally at 24, is mechanically mterlocked with the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 as will be described below.
Referrlng to FIGS. 1-3, the vertical jamb substrate members 12, 14 and head jamb substrate member 18 each include an outer surface 26, 28, 30 integrally attached to a 5 building doorway structure (not shown) in a conventional manner. Each of the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 also includes a first end surface, exemplified by the surface 31 of the vertical member 14 in FIG. 3, to which decorative molding 32 is attached to give the door frame system 10 an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Decorative molding (not shown) may also be added to a substrate member end surface, such as the end surface 33 of the vertical member 14, of the door as desired. Each of the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 also includes an inner surface, such as the inner surface 40 of the vertical member 14 shown in FIG. 3. The inner surfaces of the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 define slotted receptacles, such as those shown at 42a, 42b and 44a, 44b in FIG. 3. In addition, the end surfaces and outer surfaces of each of the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 define side channels, such as those shown at 46 in FIG. 3. The slotted receptacles 42a, 42b and 44a, 44b and the channels 46 allow the door jamb system 24 to be integrally interlocked to the door jamb substrate members I2, 14, 18 in a manner that will be described now in more detail.
Referring now in detail to FIG. 3, a cross-sectional view of the door jamb system 24 20 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown, the door jamb system 24 includes both a door stop 50 and a door jamb cladding 52. Preferably, the door stop 50 is formed of extruded rigid polyvinylchloride (PVC). However, it should be appreciated that the door stop may also be formed from other plastic-based products, such as cellular plastic, granular filled plastic, or fiber filled plastic or any other type of lightweight, rigid material capable of being attached to the frame substrate as described below. The stop has a continuous length matching that of the substrate member to which it is attached and includes structural support ribs 54. The stop also includes an abutrnent face 56, an outer wall 57 and a jamb channel 58. The jamb channel 58 is defined by an inner channel surface 59 defining jamb apertures 60, and a base wall 61. Retaining flanges 62 of a conventional weather strip 63 are inserted into the apertures 60 to retain the weather strip in a position adjacent the abutment face 56. The abutment face and the door stop provide a weather-tight seal between the door frame 10 and the door 22 when the door is closed into the frame 10. The stop also includes an anchor panel 65 including a channel engaging lip 68. Preferably~ the jamb has an associated thickness of about 0.5 inches measured from the face of the base wall 61 to the face of the outer wall 57 and an associated depth of about 2.125 inches measured from the abutment face 56 to the anchor panel 65. However, these dimensions may vary according to the dirnensions of the particular door frame and application.
Still referring to FIG. 3, the stop base wall 61 includes an angled flange 70 and deflection fingers 72 extending outwardly therefrom. Both the flange and the fingers may be continuous along the stop length or may be formed at predeterrnined spaced distances along the stop length as desired. The deflection flange 70 is preferably forrned at a 45~
angle with respect to the base wall surface. The deflection flange includes a curvilinear tip 74 which curves outwardly away from the inner surface of the stop for mechanically interlocking the flange 70 within the slotted receptacle 42a as ~ill be described in detail below. The deflection fingers 72 each include a main body portion 76 and a hook portion ~ 78 formed at approximately 45~ with respect to the body portion. As with the curvilinear CA 02207190 1997-06-0~
tip 74, the hook ponions mechanically interlock the deflection fingers with the receptacles 42b.
Still referring to FIG. 3, the jamb cladding 52 is preferably formed from extruded rigid PVC. However, the jamb cladding may also be formed in lengths corresponding to the lengths of the substrate members or in shorter lengths for modular assembly from any of the materials used to form the jamb or of any other material exhibiting similar structural characteristics. The cladding 52 includes a flat planar inner panel 80 and a cover panel 82.
The inner panel includes an angled deflection flange 84 having a curvilinear tip 86, and a deflection finger 88 having a main body portion 90 and a hook portion 92. The flange and fingers interlock the cladding 52 to the jamb substrate members 12, 14, 18 in a manner identical to that of the stop 50. The jamb cladding cover panel covers the portion of the substrate members that would otherwise be exposed to outdoor weather elements. The cover panel includes a cladding lip 94 the interlocks with the length of the substrate channel 46 to further interlock the cladding to the substrate member.
It should be appreciated at this point, that, although the stop 50 and the jamb cladding 52 are shown as separate components in FIG. 3, the stop and the jamb cladding 52 could be manufactured as a single integral component. Also, it should be appreciated that the weather strip 63 could also be integrally extruded along with the stop 50 to minimi7e assembly time and difficulty.
Referring to FIG. 3, assembly of the door frame system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be discussed. 'Each of the vertical jamb substrate members 12, 14 and the head member 18 are cut to predetermined desired lengths.
The slotted receptacles 42a, 42b, and 44a, 44b are then formed at predetermined locations in each of the jamb substrate members 12, 14 and 18. Subsequently, the stop sections of the CA 02207190 1997-06-0~
jamb system are inserted over the outer surface of the substrate members and are integrally connected through interlocking channel lip 68 with the channel 46, the flange 70 with the slotted receptacle 42a, and the fingers 72 with the slotted receptacles 42b. Similarly, the jamb cladding sections are inserted over the inner surfaces of the substrate members not 5 covered by the stop such that the channel lip 94 interlocks with the channel 46, the flange 84 interlocks with the slotted receptacle 44a, and the finger 88 interlocks with the slotted receptacle 44b. Optionally, an adhesive of the type well known in the art may be extruded into the slotted receptacles and/or the channels before the flanges, the fingers, or the lips are interlocked therein to further secure the iamb and the jamb clad to the substrate. Subsequent 10 to the stop 50 and the jamb cladding 52 being interlocked over the inner surfaces of the members 12, 14, 18, the vertical members are secured to the door sill 16. The head member 18 is then secured to top edges of the vertical members in a manner well known in the art.
Molding 34 is then attached to a surface of the substrate as shown to form a finished door frame. Door hinges and latches may be installed before or after the door frame system is 15 positioned within a building threshold as desired.
It should be appreciated at this point that both the stop 50 and the jamb cladding 52 of the present invention, by being mechanica}ly interlocked with the door frame substrate members, form an outer shell over the jamb substrate members that increases the structural stability of the substrate members. Thus, less expensive and lower quality composite wood 20 board products, such as oriented strand board, chip board, plywood, fiber board, finger jointed wood products, as well as extruded fiber and plastic prdducts, quality wood, steel, alllminl]m and other conventional door frame products can be used to form the substrate members In addition, the jamb system of the present invention protects underlying substrate members from weather elements such as moisture, ultraviolet light and temperature extremes, CA 02207190 1997-06-0~
and thus increases the life of the door frame itself. In addition, the door jamb system of the present invention provides an aesthetically pleasing outer cover to the substrate members, thus allowing lower quality, and otherwise unsightly, materials to be used for the substrate members.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a door jamb system according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 100. The door jamb system 100 is similar in structure and function to the system shown in FIG. 2. However, the stop 102 and the jamb cladding 104 are formed as a single integral component. In addition, the deflection fingers 106 all extend from the jamb and the jamb clad at substantially a 90~ angle and include darts, indicated generally at 110, as opposed to deflection fingers or curvilinear tips extending from the flanges and deflection fingers shown in FIG. 3. The darts 110 mechanically interlock with slotted receptacles 112 found in the substrate member 114 to secure the single piece jamb system onto the door jamb substrate members. The single piece jamb system thus provides added structural stability and aesthetic qualities to the door frame similar to the door jamb system shown in FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG.. 5, a third preferred embodiment of the door jamb system is shown generally at 120. The door jamb system 120 includes a stop 122 and a jamb cladding 124 similar in structure and function to the earlier described first and second preferred embodiments. However, the subsystem 120 is a single integral unit having cover panels 126, 128 that extend around, and conform to, the end surfaces of substrate member 130. The substrate member 130 does not include edge channels, such as th~ channels 46 shown in FIG.
3. In addition, a solid material, such as wood 132, is inserted within the hollow, non-ribbed inner portion 134 of the stop along the length of the stop to provide added structural support to the stop.
CA 02207190 1997-06-0~
Referring to FIG. 6, a door jamb system according to a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown generally at 140. The door jamb system 140 is similar to the door jamb system 100. The system 140 includes channel engaging lips 142, 144 for securing the system to the substrate channe}s 144, 146, similar to the channel-engaging lips S 68, 94 shown in FIG. 3. However, the system 140 is further secured to the substrate by a structural adhesive 150 rather than fingers or flanges.
From the foregoing description, it should be appreciated that the jamb systems disclosed herein provide added stability to jamb substrate members used in the manufacture of door frames and provide an aesthetically pleasing outer shell over the substrate thereby permitting the use of materials that are less expensive than conventional quality wood products to be used for door jamb substrates. The door jamb systems according to preferred embodiments of the present invention also protect the door jamb substrate members from weather elements that would otherwise cause damage to finished wood door jamb substrates by inhibiting moisture ingress and by protecting the substrate from damage caused by such things as ultraviolet rays, wind and thermal cycling.
While the above description constitutes the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it should be appreciated that the invention may be modified without departing from the proper scope or fair meaning of the accompanying claims. Various other advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art after having the benefit of studying the foregoing text and drawings taken in conjunction with the following claims.
