The angle or inclination of the stair as it climbs from one floor to the next.
Trim which is inclined; that is, neither vertical nor horizontal.
The angle of ascent, or slope, of a stairway. This is determined by the rise and run.
flat, inclined edge on gable roof.
Inclined edge of a roof that overhangs the gable end.
The fore or aft angle of the mast. Can be deliberately induced (by adjustment of the standing rigging) to flatten sails, balance steering, etc. Normally slightly aft.
describes the fore and aft inclination from vertical, e.g. inclination of a funnel, mast, stem, etc.
The sloping edge of a steep roof.
The angle formed by the intersection of the steered axis and a vertical line while the motorcycle is in an up right position.
Many stage floors, usually in theatres built for dance or variety, are higher at the back than at the front, to give the audience a better view. These stages are said to be "raked", and the "rake" is the angle of slope from back to front. In most modern theatres it is the audience seating that is raked, not the stage.
The slanting edge of a gable roof at the end wall of the house.
Refers to the slope of the roof at the end of a gable, where the outside part of the overhang forms an upside down V.
The edge of a roof at the intersection of the gable.
The inclined edge of a sloped roof over a wall from the eave to the ridge.
Term used to describe the angle fore and aft (as seen from a side view) of chair legs, and sometimes other members. Other specified in degrees more or less than a right angle.
Trim that runs parallel to the roof slope to form the finish between the wall and a gable roof extension.
A board used on a slant or incline.
The intersection of the plane of the roof and the plane of the gable.
An angle of inclination to the vertical.
The angle or slant of a non-vertical furniture leg.
Slope of a roof; the molding placed along the sloping edge of a gable to cover the edges of siding.
The angle, inclination or slope backwards at which, for example a chair back deviates from the vertical. (See Splay).
The slope of a roof; the sloping edge on a gable roof that may be covered with a bargeboard.
The horizontal part of a roof that extends beyond the exterior end wall.
The intersection of the roof and wall at the gable end.
The inclined overhang of a gable roof.
The inclination from a horizontal direction.
Slope or slanted
Trim members that run parallel to the roof slope and form the finish between the wall and a gable roof extension.
The angle of slope of a roof rafter, or the inclined portion of a cornice.
The sloped perimeter edge of a roof that runs from the eaves to the ridge. The rake typically runs perpendicular to the eaves and ridge.
The intersection of roof and endwall.
The inclined edge of a slope roof over a wall. (The edge above the gutter)
A stage that is slanted so that as an actor moves away from the audience, he gets higher. Few contemporary theaters have raked stages. It's more likely that the house (i.e. where the audience sits) will be raked.
1. A hand implement with spaced teeth for gathering or loosening material like grass, gravel, or earth. 2.The sloping edge of a pitched roof. 3. The trim of a building extending in an oblique line, as rake dado or molding. 4. The end of a wall that slopes or racks back.
Rake, measured in degrees, is the angle you choose for your neck that determines how far out your front wheel will sit. Generally Rake runs from about 32 degrees to 50 degrees.
link The angle at which the leading edge of the teeth are cut on a saw blade.
The angles of a slanted or splayed member, such as a chair back or table leg that is not strictly vertical.
the sloped edge of a roof at the first or last rafter.
A measurement of the top of the mast's tilt toward the bow or stern.
The angle, in relation to the perpendicular, of a boat's mast which can be raked forward or aft.
Theatre stages traditionally sloped upwards away from the audience, however theaters constructed after the beginning of the 20th century feature a raked audience section. This change back to the method of construction seen in Greek and Roman theatrers, (flat stage and terraced audience) was effected due the difficulty encountered when one tries to walk across a sloped surface, which had resulted in unnatural movement patterns to avoid the apperiance of limping caused by the non-level surface.
