Abstract

A ledge that incorporates a spill sill as a portion of the ledge is disclosed. The ledge includes one or more ports and the spill sill is shaped in a manner that catches liquid as it overflows and directs the water to the port(s).

In addition to being functional, the ledge includes dimensions and/or configurations that make the ledge aesthetically pleasing.
