Abstract: A receiving method is provided comprising the following steps. First, a receiving device is provided, wherein the receiving device comprises a chamber, a plurality of spacers, a spacer moving module, a first cover unit, a second cover unit, a control unit and an input interface. Then, an order is inputted to the input surface, wherein the input surface sends a control signal according to the order, and the control unit controls movements of the first cover unit, the second cover unit and the spacer moving module according to the control signal.

Abstract: A new and improved window assembly includes a window frame, and a window sash having an open-tilted and a closed position. The window sash has pivot pins that engage kidney shaped receptacles located on the window frame. The kidney shaped receptacles permit movement of the window sash into the open-tilted or closed position. The design of the present invention minimizes the parts needed to assemble the window assembly making such a window assembly cheaper to manufacture and easier to assemble.

Abstract: A window assembly comprises a rigid first frame (1) defining an opening; and a glazed second frame (9) adapted to be fitted into and close off the opening in the first frame (1), the second frame (9) being of a plastics material and having a resilient part (27) integral therewith which permits the second frame (9) to be moved in one direction into the opening and thereafter coacts with the first frame (1) to prevent the second frame (9) from being withdrawn from the first frame (1) in the direction which is opposite to the first direction.

Abstract: A window has an inner sash and outer sash that are removable from the frame. A pivotal step is located along an outer surface of the inner sash. For a double-hung window, there are two pivotal steps, one along each side of the outer surface of the inner sash. For a horizontal slider window, there is one pivotal step along a top of the outer surface of the inner sash. When the inner sash is tilted inward or removed from the frame, the pivotal step can be rotated inward to allow the outer sash to be tilted inward or removed. When the pivotal step is in an operating position in the window, it greatly reduces the air flow from an exterior of the window to an interior of the window around the sashes. With previous windows, there is no step immediately adjacent to an outer surface of the inner sash or, if there is such a step, the presence of the step makes the removal of the sashes cumbersome.

Abstract: A packaged replacement window includes a rectangular carton and two wood window sash, one overlying the other, within the carton. In addition, the packaged window includes two jamb weatherstrip and balance assemblies which are folded intermediate their ends and lie along the side walls of the carton outwardly from the side edges of the sash. The jamb weatherstrip and balance assemblies when removed from the carton will open to a straight condition, and in that condition the jamb weatherstrip and balance assemblies may be installed along the sides of a window opening where the sash may be engaged with them. A lid fits over the carton to completely enclose the sash and the jamb weatherstrip and balance assemblies that are within the carton. All the components necessary to install the replacement window are contained within the package which is easily stored, transported, and otherwise handled.

Abstract: A stationary window frame slidably mounts a pair of sash assemblies that are retained in the frame by fixed retainer bars limited to the lower half of the frame and by a pivotally suspended retainer for the upper half. The sash assemblies may be removed from the frame in their raised positions after displacement of the pivoted retainer to a release position.

Abstract: Lower guide for a sliding partition for bath and shower rooms with sliding doors suspended from above extending down into a guide slot of an elongated lower guide member open at the top and confined by two lateral guide walls and a bottom. Pivotal means are provided for swinging the lateral guide wall outward about a horizontal swivel axis with the height of the swung-out wall from its highest point to the bottom of the guide member smaller than the distance between the bottom of the doors and the bottom of the guide member. The swinging guide wall is supported between lateral frame parts with pivot pins extending into vertical slots in each end of the guide wall to permit raising it and then swinging it out. This permits ready cleaning of accumulated dirt in the slot without disassembly and reassembly of the elongated lower guide member.

Abstract: A rectangular window frame defined by four frame members, has two spline members supported by a pair of laterally spaced frame members. The spline members are formed with blade portions arranged to retain a sash in the window frame. One on both of the spline members are longitudinally slidable in a tubular frame portion against a spring bias and each is normally retained at one end in a socket formed in an adjacent frame member. The spring bias is provided by a coil spring in the tubular frame portion bearing against the other end of the spline member. When the spline member is disengaged from the pocket it is rotatable out of the way to permit the sash to be installed in or removed from the window frame. The blade portion of each longitudinally slidable spline member may be formed with an aperture or slot to receive a tool for longitudinally sliding the spline member to disengage it from the retaining socket.
