Adjustable water diversion framing system

Abstract

The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System described herein is comprised of a fully adjustable, triangular, frame, which is capable of accommodating all roof angles and vertical projections of different sizes. The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System frame is comprised of a central hinged spine, which functions as a ridge when the system is fully installed. Attached to the central hinged spine are two opposing triangular frame elements, wherein the frame elements are fully adjustable for length and angle. The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System is constructed of durable material capable of accommodating fastening hardware commonly used in the carpentry and roofing industries such as nails and screws.

         2 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1  wherein said central spine assembly is further comprised of a first spine leg and a second spine leg longitudinally connected by said longitudinal hinging means. 
     
     
         3 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1  where said longitudinal hinging means is comprised of a or a plurality of hinges. 
     
     
         4 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 2  where said central spine telescoping means is comprised of a first spine leg interior slide and a second spine leg interior slide. 
     
     
         5 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1 , wherein said first end of said central spine assembly connection to said vertical projection assembly is comprised of a first upper spine vertical leg joint and a second upper spine vertical leg joint wherein said vertical leg joints comprise an adjustable angle means. 
     
     
         6 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1 , wherein said vertical projection telescoping means is comprised of a first vertical leg interior slide and a second vertical leg interior slide. 
     
     
         7 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1  wherein said second ends of said vertical projection legs connection to said roof base assembly first roof base leg and said second roof base leg is comprised of a first lower base vertical joint and a second lower base vertical joint wherein said lower base vertical joints comprise an adjustable angle means. 
     
     
         8 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1 , wherein said roof base telescoping means is comprised of a first roof base leg interior slide and a second roof base leg interior slide. 
     
     
         9 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1  wherein said second ends of said roof base legs connection to said second end of said central spine assembly is comprised of a first roof base spine joint and a second roof base spine joint wherein said roof base spine joints comprise an adjustable angle means. 
     
     
         10 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1  wherein said central spine telescoping means, vertical projection telescoping means, and said roof base telescoping means can be locked in a final length by a slide retention means. 
     
     
         11 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 10  wherein said slide retention means is a or a plurality of thumbscrews. 
     
     
         12 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of fastening tabs for fastening said Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System to a surface. 
     
     
         13 . The Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 12  wherein a sheathing material is fastened directly to said Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System after said Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System is fastened directly to a surface. 
     
     
         14 . A method of deploying the Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 1  comprising the steps of:
 deploying the Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System with the central spine assembly in an upward position spanning a desired length between a vertical projection and a roof by adjusting said central spine telescoping means; 
 adjusting said vertical projection telescoping means so that said vertical projection legs are flush with a vertical surface of said vertical projection, and adjusting said roof base legs so that said roof base legs are flush with a surface of said roof; 
 adjusting a width of the Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System at a convergence of said vertical projection and said roof by spreading said roof base legs apart from each other at the convergence of said vertical projection and said roof to a desired width; and 
 locking said Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System into place by tightening a slide retention means of each respective telescoping means. 
 
     
     
         15 . A method of deploying the Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 14  further comprising the step of:
 using the locked Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System to pre-trace and cut sheathing materials to be installed. 
 
     
     
         16 . A method of deploying the Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System of  claim 15  further comprising the step of:
 Fastening the Adjustable Water Diversion Framing System directly to said roof and vertical projection.
