Water deflection apparatus for use with a wall mounting bracket
First Claim
1. A water deflection apparatus separate from and for use with a wall mounting bracket when the water deflecting apparatus and the wall mounting bracket are both mounted to a wall, the wall mounting bracket having a mounting plate and a cover plate, the mounting plate and the cover plate of the wall mounting bracket spaced-apart and a downward flow of water allowed therebetween, the downward flow of water being deflected away from the wall by said water deflecting apparatus, said water deflecting apparatus comprising:
- a mounting plate with first and second ends, a back surface and a front surface, said back surface of said mounting plate of said water deflecting apparatus abutting the wall when said water deflecting apparatus is mounted to the wall;
a deflector extending outwardly from said front surface of said mounting plate of said water deflecting apparatus near each said end of said mounting plate of said water deflecting apparatus, the mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket received between said deflectors when said water deflecting apparatus and the wall mounting bracket are both mounted to the wall, a portion of the mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket superposed upon said front surface of said mounting plate of said water deflecting apparatus when said water deflecting apparatus and the wall mounting bracket are both mounted to the wall; and
a skirt extending between said deflectors and outwardly from said front surface of said mounting plate of said water deflecting apparatus, said skirt located below the mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket when said water deflecting apparatus and the wall mounting bracket are both mounted to the wall.

Abstract
A water deflecting apparatus comprises a mounting plate with a back surface and a front surface. The back surface of the mounting plate abuts the wall when the water deflecting apparatus is mounted to the wall. A deflector extends outwardly from the front surface of the mounting plate near each end of the mounting plate. The mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket is received between the deflectors when the water deflecting apparatus and the wall mounting bracket are mounted to the wall. The deflectors deflect the downward flow of water. A skirt extends between the deflectors and outwardly from the front surface of the mounting plate of the water deflecting apparatus. The skirt is located below the mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket and is received between the deflectors when the water deflecting apparatus and the wall mounting bracket are mounted to the wall.

17. In combination with a wall mounting bracket having a mounting plate adapted for being mounted to a wall, and a cover plate, the mounting plate and cover plate of the wall mounting bracket being spaced apart and a downward flow of water being allowed therebetween, the improvement which comprises:
a water deflecting apparatus adapted for being mounted to the wall separately from the mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket, said water deflecting apparatus including a mounting plate having a front surface over a portion of which is superposed a portion of the mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket, the water deflecting apparatus further including a pair of deflectors extending outwardly from its said mounting plate front surface and between which the mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket is disposed when the wall mounting bracket and said water deflecting apparatus are both mounted to the wall, said water deflecting apparatus further including a skirt extending between said pair of deflectors and located below the mounting plate of the wall mounting bracket when the wall mounting plate and said water deflecting apparatus are both mounted to the wall. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
