Patent number: 11384584Abstract: A deadbolt cushioning system includes: a deadbolt cushioning structure attached to a door frame so that when a door with a fully extended deadbolt closes from a wide open position toward a closed position the extended deadbolt impacts the deadbolt cushioning structure. The deadbolt cushioning structure for preventing the extended deadbolt from impacting the door frame and for preventing the extended deadbolt from impacting a strike plate attached to the door frame. The deadbolt cushioning structure may include at least first and second telescoping housings with a biasing structure (e.g., foam and/or spring) provided therebetween. When the deadbolt impacts the deadbolt cushioning structure the biasing structure compresses and the second housing slides relative to the first structure and moves toward the face of the door frame to which the first housing is affixed.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Inventor: Robert Rissone

Patent number: 10465439Abstract: Certain example embodiments relate to a sealing system for sealing the periphery of a door relative to a frame. The sealing system includes a multi point finger seal having at least three fingers of differing height and spacing so that a first finger may contact the door and contact of the first finger and second finger is precluded. A second finger is sized and spaced from a third finger so that a free edge of the second finger abuts the base of the third finger. A security seal is located at the bottom of the door and includes a security flap biased into the door, wherein a cam on the frame engages the flap upon closure of the door to urge the security flap toward the floor. The seal includes one or more perforations therein, causing the seal to breakaway and into pieces if removal is attempted.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Inventor: Robert Rissone

Publication number: 20180363363Abstract: A door viewer cover includes a base with a hole through the thickness of the base. The hole is sized to mate with a door viewer to allow a user to look through the hole and thus the door viewer. The hole is offset from a center of the base. A cover is stacked on the base so that the thickness of the cover and the thickness of the base are in series while the base and the cover have an overall parallel relationship. The cover is sized to completely block the hole to prevent looking through the hole. A connection between the base and the cover allows the base and the cover to pivot with respect to one another while maintaining the parallel relationship between the cover and the base.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2018Publication date: December 20, 2018Inventor: Robert RISSONE

Patent number: 8966841Abstract: A door threshold may comprise a main body formed from two feet. In certain example embodiments, a male-female connection between the feet may be used to adjust the depth of the door threshold. In certain other example embodiments, a center bridge insert to be used in connection with two female feet to adjust the depth of the door threshold. In still further example embodiments, one or more center layers may be disposed between two feet, with the size of the center layer(s) determining the depth of the door threshold. Also, the door threshold may include upper and lower members for sandwiching carpet and/or carpet padding therebetween which, in certain example embodiments, may grip the carpet to reduce the ease with which it may be pulled out from between the upper and lower members. Thus, certain example embodiments may reduce and/or eliminate the need for tacks proximate to the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Inventor: Robert Rissone

Patent number: 8418426Abstract: A door threshold may include upper and lower members for sandwiching carpet and/or carpet padding therebetween. The threshold may, in certain example embodiments, grip the carpet in order to prevent it from being pulled out from between the upper and lower threshold members. Thus, in certain example instances, the need for tacks (or carpet tack strip(s)) proximate the threshold can be reduced and/or eliminated. In certain example embodiments of this invention, the threshold structure may include a locating bracket that is provided proximate the door frame for frame alignment and security purposes, and/or one or more pans located under the threshold for locating and/or securing purposes. Levelers, shims and/or the like may be used in certain example embodiments in order to compensate for non-level flooring proximate the door.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Inventor: Robert Rissone
