Abstract: A planar window or door and frame is provided having the window or door hinged at one side to the frame so that the window or door swings outwardly and inwardly in relation to the frame, and having the top of the window or door spaced slightly beneath the adjacent portion of the frame to permit relative swinging movement between window and frame. A continuous row of resilient fibers is mounted on the frame adjacent the top of the window or door so that it covers the space between the top of the window or door and the adjacent portion of the frame when the window is closed. This row of resilient fibers extends across the width of the window or door so that as the window or door swings to open or closed positions the row of fibers deforms incrementally along the moving juncture between the top of the window or door and the frame to thereby provide a continuous seal against rainwater and wind leakage between the window or door top and the frame.

Abstract: A window conversion assembly is provided for use with a building window frame having a head jamb, opposed side jambs, and a bottom sill, the window assembly including a headpiece for mounting against the head jamb of the frame, a sill piece for mounting against the sill of the frame, with one or both of the headpiece and sill piece being resiliently mounted against the frame for accommodating any out-of-squareness of the frame, side members for mounting against the side jambs of the frame, and upper and lower sash windows for mounting within the headpiece, sill piece and side members to form a completed window assembly. The window assembly features full perimeter weather-stripping, utilizing high leaf weather-strips and corresponding deep receiving grooves in the windows to provide weather seals along the horizontal as well as vertical junctures between the window sashes and frame assembly members.

Abstract: A combination casing and frame for use both as the window casing and as a storm window frame for a double-hung structural window and adapted to be mounted directly against the frame of the structural window includes unitary top, side, and sill members, each of the top and side members having a casing portion adapted to overlie a portion of the structural window frame, structure for slidably mounting sashes on the side members, latch-engaging structure provided in the side members, and latches movably mounted on opposite sides of the sill member in retractable engagement with the latch-engaging structure, for mounting the sill member on the side members and demounting the sill member.
