Claim 11:
12. A thermal break device for an opening of a building structure and configured to provide a thermal break between an interior of the building structure and an exterior of the building structure, the thermal break device comprising:
an elongated sill member including a leading end, a trailing end opposite the leading end along a longitudinal direction, opposed side ends spaced apart along a transverse direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, a bottom surface, and an upper surface opposite the bottom surface along a vertical direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction;
an elongated base member extending from the elongated sill member in the vertical direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, the elongated base member defining an inner surface, an outer surface spaced apart from the inner surface in the longitudinal direction such that the inner surface is substantially perpendicular to the trailing end of the elongated sill member, the elongated base member further defining a lower terminal end spaced apart from the elongated sill member in the vertical direction, wherein the inner surface of the elongated base member at the lower terminal end does not extend in the longitudinal direction, such that, the elongated sill member and the elongated base member define a substantially L-shaped body having a receiving pocket sized to receive insulation therein;
a first plurality of studs, wherein an entire length of the first plurality of studs extends from the bottom surface of the elongated sill member so as to be substantially parallel to the vertical direction; and
a second plurality of studs, wherein an entire length of the second plurality of studs extends from the inner surface of the elongated base member so as to be substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction.
