Patent number: 11913268Abstract: A glass panel system comprising an upper and lower guide track and at least two adjacent glass panels which are movable along the lower and upper guide tracks. The lower guide track is configured to support at least two glass panels. The upper guide track comprises two opposite side walls, an elongated groove and a free space formed between the two side walls. One of the glass panels leans against both the side walls by one guide element and against one of the two side walls and against another glass panel by another guide element. One of the glass panels leans, on one hand, against one of the two side walls and against another glass panel by one guide element and, on the other hand, against the other side wall and against another glass panel by another guide element. The guide elements are arranged in the free space.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: LUMON INVEST OYInventor: Esa Hilliaho

Patent number: 11519181Abstract: A locking arrangement, including a panel with a locking groove; an edge strip with a first form; as well as a locking element placed at least partly or entirely between the edge strip and the panel. The locking element includes a protrusion inserted in the locking groove of the panel and configured to prevent the panel from detaching from the edge strip, and a second form matching with and received by the first form of the edge strip, and configured to prevent the locking element from detaching from the edge strip. In the presented method for assembling the locking arrangement, in its first step, the locking element is placed against the panel so that the protrusion is inserted in the locking groove of the panel, after which they are installed in the edge strip.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: LUMON INVEST OYInventor: Esa Hilliaho

Publication number: 20180291662Abstract: The panel of the panel system is movable and is intended to be positioned and connected between an essentially parallel lower guide and upper guide of the system in order to move the panel on the lower guide. The panel, for example, its lath, includes at least one claw configured to grip the lower guide, which is connected to the panel so the claw is able to move in the vertical direction when the panel is vertical. When pulled away from the panel, the claw may be attached to the lower guide. The claw tends to retract by itself towards the panel, away from the lower guide, which may include a rail to which the claw is attached and on which the panel may rest as it moves along the lower guide. As an extension of the rail may be an auxiliary rail, including, for example, a guide surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2016Publication date: October 11, 2018Applicant: LUMON INVEST OYInventor: Esa HILLIAHO

Patent number: 10094168Abstract: A sunshade is installed to a glazing part, which comprises a transparent sheet with a first end edge and second end edge and a first side edge and second side edge. The side edges are free edges of the sheet. At least one first fastening element is attached close to the first end edge of the transparent sheet and at least one second fastening element is attached close to the second end edge of the transparent sheet, and the sunshade is suspended on the said fastening elements. The first and second fastening elements are attached to the side edges of the transparent sheet.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Suomen Visor OyInventors: Teuvo Haapalahti, Esa Hilliaho, Markku Lehtonen, Markku Pulkkinen, Chad Simonson

Patent number: 9896839Abstract: The panel system includes lower and upper guides and at least one panel located between and connected to them, to move the panel on the lower guide. The panel system includes a hinge element fixed to the panel and allows the panel to be opened by turning essentially around a rotation axis. The panel system further includes at least two locking housings positioned successively on the upper guide. The locking housings include two opposite locking recesses, defining a circle with radius R3 and between which remains a passage with width P2. The hinge element can travel from one locking housing to another through the passage. The distance between the locking housings is distance P1, configured to be less than two times radius R3. The hinge element may include two locking cams and in addition a guiding edge remaining between them. The panel system locking arrangement includes the hinge element.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: LUMON INVEST OYInventor: Esa Hilliaho

Publication number: 20160186487Abstract: In the method a sunshade is installed to a glazing part, which comprises a transparent sheet (10) with a first end edge and second end edge and a first side edge (16) and second side edge (18). The side edges are free edges of the sheet. In the method at least one first fastening element (20) is attached close to the first end edge of the transparent sheet and at least one second fastening element is attached close to the second end edge of the transparent sheet, and the sunshade (100 is suspended on the said fastening elements. The first and second fastening elements are attached to the side edges of the transparent sheet. Typically the sunshade can comprise at least one guide wire (24), which has a first end and second end. In this case the first end of the guide wire is attached to the first fastening element and the second end of the guide wire is attached to the second fastening element.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2015Publication date: June 30, 2016Applicant: Suomen Visor OyInventors: Teuvo Haapalahti, Esa Hilliaho, Markku Lehtonen, Markku Pulkkinen, Chad Simonson

Patent number: 9228343Abstract: A panel system including a sheet-like movable panel; a lower profile carrying the panel weight and acting as a panel guide track; an upper profile supporting the panel from above and acting as a panel guide track; and an opening guide track placed in parallel with the lower profile, carrying the panel weight and acting as a panel guide track. The panel can move from the lower profile onto the opening guide track and simultaneously pivot to an open position, in which the panel weight is carried by both the lower profile and the opening guide track. In an embodiment, an opening angle of the panel with respect to the lower profile in the open position is smaller than 90° or 85°, or not greater than 45°, or is preferably from 10° to 15°. In an example, the panel system further includes a sheet-like immovable panel with an open position.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: LUMON INVEST OYInventor: Esa Hilliaho

Publication number: 20150284952Abstract: An eave piece, as well as a system for a roof construction, comprising: an eave piece which is prefabricated and intended to be fixed as an extension to a roof beam, which roof beam is substantially horizontal or inclined when installed in the use position; and a front beam which is prefabricated, substantially horizontal, intended to be placed transversely with respect to the roof beam, and configured to support the eave piece and thereby also the roof beam. The lower surface of the eave piece is provided with a recess, in which at least the top surface of the front beam can be received. Structures to be placed against each other are provided on the bottom of the recess on one hand and on the top surface of the front beam on the other hand, their form following at least partly the shape of a circular arch. The structures are, for the installation, also configured to allow use positions of the eave piece with a varying inclination with respect to the front beam.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2013Publication date: October 8, 2015Applicant: LUMON INVEST OYInventor: Esa Hilliaho
