Patent number: 9441405Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: THERMOSEAL INDUSTRIES, LLCInventors: Richard A.

Patent number: 9402283Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2010Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Inventor: Richard A. Chubb

Patent number: 9016031Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Thermoseal Industries, L.L.C.Inventors: Richard Chubb, Ralph Wearsch

Patent number: 8176680Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2006Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Thermoseal Industries, L.L.C.Inventors: Richard A.
