Abstract: A door handle assembly having a latch bolt mechanism and a retaining mechanism positioned within a housing. A shaft having a lever handle is positioned within a through hole in the latch bolt mechanism. The lever handle can be rotated in a first direction from a first position to a second position, and in a second opposite direction from the first position to a third position to provide access to an area of a door panel otherwise obstructed by the lever handle.

Abstract: A window retention system includes a door frame having an exterior panel, an interior panel, an opening therethrough defining an inner peripheral channel, the exterior panel includes an upright portion extending along the channel so as to be directed toward the interior panel; and a resiliently flexible window retainer strip yieldably interlocked with and thereby detachably mounted on the door frame. The retainer strip has a longitudinal axis and a first upright portion spaced from and in opposing relation with the upright portion of the exterior panel so as to delimit a first track in the channel and retain the window element therein. The strip includes a second upright portion laterally spaced from the first upright portion. The second upright portion is biased towards and yieldingly interlocks with the channel. A flange extends from the first upright portion of the strip to engage one of the door frame panels and thereby secure the first upright portion of the strip against rotation in a vertical plane.

Abstract: A mounting system includes either a double wing bracket or a single wing bracket. A double wing bracket includes a U-shaped member adapted to embrace the opposite sides of a vertical pallet rack frame member. A plate is attached to the U-shaped member and includes holes for mounting hinge members. The hinge members are used to mount a door display frame for pivotal movement about a door display frame axis. A door frame and a door are mounted within the door display frame.

Abstract: A hinge-emulating gap concealing strip for a door includes an elongated strip having an length generally corresponding to the length of the hinge assembly. The strip has a generally J-shaped cross-section. The strip includes a straight portion adapted mount on the side edge panel of the door, adjacent the gap that normally exists between a side edge panel and the frame or Z bar attached thereto. The strip has an arcuate portion extending forwarding and outwardly from the straight portion. The arcuate portion extends over the gap so as to form a generally convex arch which protrudes outwardly beyond the exterior panel of the door and resembles the convex arch of the hinge assembly. The straight portion of the strip is attached to the side edge panel. Thus, the hinge-emulating gap concealing the strip spans the gap with a strip that emulates the appearance of the hinge to as to enhance the symmetry of the installed door. Brush strips can also be mounted on the J-shaped strip.

Abstract: A cover device for a door closure mechanism includes a detachably mounted shell which has a generally C-shaped cross section and is formed by an elongated wall. The wall has an inside surface which terminates laterally in opposing side edges. An elongated trough extends adjacent the inside surface of the wall and is adapted to receive the door closure housing. A pair of opposing jaw members protrude from the inside surface of the wall adjacent each of the side edges respectively. The opposing jaw members define a lateral opening, the lateral opening is smaller than the diameter of trough. The jaw members are resiliently or elastically deflectable in an outward direction to enlarge the throat opening so as to permit the door closure housing to be inserted laterally into the trough. Once the jaw members have been deflected over the full diameter of the housing, the jaw members spring inwardly to frictionally retain the cover on the door closure housing of the door closure mechanism.

Abstract: A door, such as a storm door, including a body having an aperture therethrough for receiving at least one window element. The body has joined but spaced apart exterior and interior panels. The exterior panel has an integrally formed weep hole therethrough which intersects the aperture and thereby puts the aperture in fluid communication with an exterior surface of the exterior panel so as to allow moisture to drain from the aperture. The weep hole can be concealed in a recessed lower portion of a molding member which is integrally formed with the exterior panel. Thus, the weep hole is concealed from normal view and the attractiveness of the door is not compromised. Additional weep holes can be added as needed for proper drainage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a top mounted interior door closer utilizing as a drive mechanism a yieldable actuator which is exercised during the opening and retraction which is desirably mounted in an encasement having a closing rod extending from one end. The closing rod is secured to a pair of flanking members along a vertical axis, which members, in turn, are positioned for movement in a track. The closer is sandwiched in place interiorly by having elongate slot at the top of the door means of a cover plate. The elongate slot passes a closing link pin pivotally secured to the shaft or bushing joining the rollers or blocks.

Abstract: A vented glass door includes a rectangular frame having a glass window fitted in the center thereof. At least one air passageway is provided commencing at the rear surface of the frame members, and passing through the frame members themselves and outwardly through an outlet opening at the edges of the frame members.

Abstract: A glazing seal is used in combination with a rectangular door frame and a rectangular window frame. The door frame includes a window opening and the window frame is fitted within the window opening. The window frame surrounds a sheet of glass having a perimetric edge. The sealing member has a first portion extending around the perimetric edge of the glass and sealingly engaging the edge of the glass and the window frame. The sealing member also has a second portion thereof fitted between the window frame and the door frame to provide a substantially airtight seal there between.

Abstract: A door display device is adapted to be mounted to a vertical support, and includes a rectangular display frame having a rectangular display opening therein. The display frame is pivotally mounted to a vertical support for pivotal movement about a vertical display axis. A door assembly may be fitted within the display opening of the rectangular display frame and secured in place. Indicia panels may be provided within the rectangular display opening of the display frame.
