  • Publication number: 20140096448
    Abstract: Disclosed is an airtight window, which can provide a space for enabling the window to be tilted during the fitting thereof into a window frame, and which cuts off the communication between an indoor area and an outdoor area so as to increase thermal insulation and prevent noise when installed. An upper frame of a window frame has a square C-shape with an open bottom, and has an installation end tightly contacting an installation part of a building and bent ends which extend downwardly from both ends of the installation end and which are bent inwardly so as to face each other. A movable frame of the window frame also has a square C-shape with an open bottom, and both ends thereof are formed into stopper ends so as to be disposed on and caught at the bent ends of the upper frame.

  • Patent number: 5718083
    Abstract: A sliding door system includes a pair of sliding doors which ride on J-shaped tracks. A stopper, formed of a block of deformable material, has a J-shaped channel which generally matches the contour of the J-shaped tracks. One presses the stopper onto the inner track, at one of the ends of the track. When the inner door is moved to an extreme position, it abuts the stopper, and cannot reach the door frame. Thus, there is a recess between the door frame and the inner door. The recess makes it easy to move the inner door when it is desired to close the closet. Also, the stopper prevents an indentation, formed on the inner door, from being obscured by the outer door, when the inner door is opened. The stopper is made of an elastomeric material so that it can be easily inserted onto the track, without special tools. Thus, the stopper can be easily retrofitted onto existing tracks for sliding door systems, without modifying such systems.

  • Patent number: 4872498
    Abstract: The specification discloses a door light providing improved drainage, improved sealing between sashes, and improved sealing between frame components. Brackets are mounted on the sill at discrete locations to hold the screen and the movable sash off the sill to provide drainage and eliminate capillary action which would otherwise draw moisture to the frame interior. The meeting rails include resiliently deflectable interlock flanges which engage and are biased against one another when the movable sash is closed to improve the seal therebetween. A frame trim piece interfits with the frame body and deflects a resiliently deformable flap integral with the frame body to effect a weather seal between the trim piece and frame body.
