Process for Obscuring Corrugations in a Window Well

Abstract

A process for obscuring corrugations in a window well employing placing on a metal surface a solid variegated pattern using perspective to create a three-dimensional effect on the face. Preferably, such placing occurs prior to the forming of the window well. In a preferred continuous process, a roll of metal is cut prior to the forming into a piece having such dimensions as to permit the piece to be formed into a single window well. The preferred metal is steel. And the solid variegated pattern using perspective to create a three-dimensional effect on the face can be a pattern of brick, stone, or the like, with granite being the preferred pattern.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A process for obscuring corrugations in a window well, which comprises:
 placing a solid variegated pattern using perspective to create a three-dimensional effect on a sheet of metal; and   then forming the sheet of metal into a window well having a face and corrugations with the face containing the solid variegated pattern using perspective to create a three-dimensional effect.   
     
     
         2 . The process for obscuring corrugations in a window well as recited in  claim 1 , wherein:
 the sheet of metal is a roll; and   further comprising:   after placing, cutting the roll into a desired size for a window well.   
     
     
         3 . The process for obscuring corrugations in a window well as recited in  claim 2 , wherein:
 the metal is steel.   
     
     
         4 . A process for obscuring corrugations in a window well, which comprises:
 forming a sheet of metal into a window well having a face and corrugations; and   then placing on the face a solid variegated pattern using perspective to create a three-dimensional effect.   
     
     
         5 . The process for obscuring corrugations in a window well as recited in  claim 4 , wherein:
 the sheet of metal is a roll; and   further comprising:   before forming, cutting the roll to create a piece having dimensions that permit the piece to be formed into a single window well.   
     
     
         6 . The process for obscuring corrugations in a window well as recited in  claim 5 , wherein:
 the metal is steel.   
     
     
         7 . A process for obscuring corrugations in a window well, which comprises:
 laminating a film containing a solid variegated pattern using perspective to create a three-dimensional effect on a sheet of metal; and   then forming the sheet of metal into a window well having a face and corrugations with the face containing the solid variegated pattern using perspective to create a three-dimensional effect.   
     
     
         8 . The process for obscuring corrugations in a window well as recited in  claim 7 , wherein:
 the sheet of metal is a roll; and   further comprising:   after laminating, cutting the roll into a desired size for a window well.   
     
     
         9 . The process for obscuring corrugations in a window well as recited in  claim 8 , wherein:
 the metal is steel.   
     
     
         10 . A process for obscuring corrugations in a window well, which comprises:
 forming a sheet of metal into a window well having a face and corrugations; and   then laminating on the face a film containing a solid variegated pattern using perspective to create a three-dimensional effect.   
     
     
         11 . The process for obscuring corrugations in a window well as recited in claim  104 , wherein:
 the sheet of metal is a roll; and   further comprising:   before forming, cutting the roll to create a piece having dimensions that permit the piece to be formed into a single window well.   
     
     
         12 . The process for obscuring corrugations in a window well as recited in claim  115 , wherein:
 the metal is steel.
