  • Patent number: 9441405
    Abstract: The sliding door assembly has a non-metallic frame formed of extrusions of solid cross-section and a pair of non-metallic sashes slidably disposed in the frame to move laterally between a closed position and an open position relative to frame. The floor of the sill extrusion is sloped rearwardly and longitudinally downwardly toward a notch to direct water thereto for draining out of the frame. The frame can be dropped into a commercial refrigeration cabinet and each sash is removably mounted in the frame.

  • Patent number: 9402283
    Abstract: Each corner key assembly of an insulating glass unit is constructed of an electrically non-conductive housing having a pair of arms disposed in perpendicular relation to each other to engage with respective ends of a spacer system and a central post extending in parallel to one of the arms with an electrically conductive spring clip mounted in the post to engage a bus bar. The spring has a reversely curved portion extending from the post of the housing to lie flat against the opposed glass panes of the IG unit. Each corner key may be used as either a right-hand or as a left-hand corner key by being flipped over on itself.

  • Patent number: 9016031
    Abstract: The door is made with a triple-lite insulated glass unit and a frame of aluminum rails. The insulated glass unit has a stepped cross-section with the outer glass lite being larger than the inner glass lites. An opaque non-conductive ceramic frit forms a rectangularly shaped border to mask the mounting of the inner glass lite(s). An electrically conductive coating on the outer glass lite is insulated from the aluminum rails of the frame by a plastic strip disposed between the outer glass lite and each rail.

  • Patent number: 8176680
    Abstract: The frame and the sash of the sliding door assembly are each made of plastic. The frame extrusion profile utilizes an opposing open-leg or C-channel construction that creates an interior accessory slot that is utilized throughout the overall construction to create a carrier that can accept a wide variety of snap-in accessory extrusions or components. Similarly, the sash extrusion profile allows for the use of snap-in accessories.

  • Patent number: 8006984
    Abstract: The dolly is constructed with wheels to provide mobility and with posts to allow for stacking of one dolly on another for storage purposes and return shipment purposes. A long dolly may also be provided with laterally mounted posts for receiving and supporting a shorter, but wider, dolly thereon. Each corner post is provided with a dependent pin that is able to fit into an opening in the upper end of a post of a dolly below. Removable support feet are provided for supporting a loaded dolly for transport with the wheels in an elevated position.

  • Publication number: 20110043089
    Abstract: The door is constructed for a refrigerated cabinet and includes an IG unit of rectangular shape and a frame surrounding the unit. The frame is formed of a pair of horizontally disposed aluminum rails and a pair of vertically disposed plastic stiles. Each stile is secured at each end to a respective end of each of the rails by screws. Each rail and stile receives the IG unit in a recessed manner. Full perimeter gasketing of the door is obtained by a vertical gasket on the stile on the hinged side of the door and a pair of horizontal seals on the cabinet opposite the rails of the door.
