Embodiment Construction

[0038]Referring to FIG. 1, a covering structure or cornice generally indicated at 1 is provided, supported over an opening 3 in the wall 5 of a building.

[0039]Covering structure 1 is made up of a top portion or structure 7 from which a transparent or translucent section generally indicated at 9 extends downwardly. Lower portion 11 is secured to the lower end of transparent or translucent portion 9.

[0040]As best seen in FIG. 2, top portion 7 is preferably made up of a box structure 13 and a top cover member 15, which is placed over the top of the box structure 13. Box structure 13 is made up of three separate portions 17, 19, and 21. According to the preferred embodiments these portions 17, 19 and 21 are all cut from a piece of the same milled stock or stock having a constant cross-section or repeating pattern. These parts 17, 19 and 21 are preferably miter-cut at each corner at a 45° angle to allow assembly of the box, which is secured by glue, finishing nails, or some other securin...
