Claims
- 1. An interior window sill cover comprising:a hollow, elongate window sill cover body configured and adapted to be affixed to a window sill; internal support walls disposed within said window sill cover body; wherein said window sill cover body comprises an elongate main body having a proximal end, and a convex, elongate, proximal terminal portion disposed on the proximal end of the main body; wherein said terminal portion includes a rear portion that is wider than a width of the proximal end of the main body, and a rear wall; wherein the terminal portion further includes a front wall, at least a portion of which is convex in shape, said front wall having a width that is wider than a width of the proximal end of the main body, and wherein at least a portion of the rear wall of said terminal portion extends downwardly from the proximal end of the main body to thereby form an exposed positioning wall residing beneath the main body for use in positioning the window sill cover body against an edge.
- 2. The interior window sill cover of claim 1 wherein the window sill cover body further comprises a lower wall and an upper wall spaced apart from said lower wall.
- 3. The interior window sill cover of claim 2 wherein the lower wall is a substantially planar member, and wherein the upper wall is a substantially planar member.
- 4. The interior window sill cover of claim 3 wherein the lower wall and the upper wall are disposed in a substantially parallel orientation with respect to each other.
- 5. The interior window sill cover of claim 2 wherein the internal support walls are disposed between the lower wall and the upper wall.
- 6. The interior window sill cover of claim 5 wherein the internal support walls are disposed in a substantially orthogonal orientation with respect to the upper wall.
- 7. The interior window sill cover of claim 2 further comprising a positioning wall extending downwardly from said lower wall in a non-parallel orientation with respect to said lower wall, and a retaining edge extending from said positioning wall in an at least partially proximal-to-distal direction.
- 8. The interior window sill cover of claim 7 wherein the retaining edge further comprises a plurality of interconnected, individual detachable segments to thereby enable said retaining edge to be rendered shorter by detachment of at least one of said detachable segments.
- 9. The interior window sill cover of claim 2 further comprising a distal side extending upwardly from the lower wall.
- 10. The interior window sill cover of claim 9 further comprising a distal overhang extending from the distal side in a proximal-to-distal direction, such that said distal side and said distal overhang collectively form a concave space.
- 11. The interior window sill cover of claim 1 wherein said window sill cover body comprises a convex, elongate, proximal terminal portion.
- 12. The interior window sill cover of claim 11 wherein the terminal portion is partially-cylindrical in shape.
- 13. The interior window sill cover of claim 12 wherein the terminal portion is hollow.
- 14. The interior window sill cover of claim 1, wherein the window sill cover body comprises a hollow, proximal terminal portion, and wherein said terminal portion comprises two lateral ends, each of which is configured for receiving a cap for closing said hollow terminal portion.
- 15. The interior window sill cover of claim 14 further comprising a cap disposed on each of said lateral ends, said cap comprising a generally planar outer member and an inner member disposed thereon for being received in the hollow terminal portion.
- 16. The interior window sill cover of claim 1 wherein the window sill cover body includes a rectangular attachment recess formed thereon.
