Patent number: 9797185Abstract: A self-locking handrail system includes a female profile and a male profile. The female profile includes a first leg, a first locking extension that is approximately parallel to the first leg, having a gap formed therebetween, and a first vertical leg extending from the first locking extension approximately orthogonal to the first locking extension. The male profile includes a second vertical leg, and a second locking extension extending from a free end of the second locking extension, forming a fulcrum. A panel is positioned between the first vertical leg and the second vertical leg. A bar is positioned between the panel and the second vertical leg, the bar having first and second surfaces opposite one another that are not parallel with one another, causing the female and male profiles to engage by tilting the second vertical leg outward from the panel and about the fulcrum.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: City Glass & Glazing (P) Ltd.Inventor: Arakkal Abdul Khader Abdul Lathief

Patent number: 9683402Abstract: A self-locking glazing system includes a female profile having a first locking extension and a first leg extending therefrom, the first leg having a first tip. The system includes a male profile having a second locking extension and a second leg extending therefrom, the second leg having a second tip that is approximately opposite the first tip, and a thermal break material positioned between the female and male profiles. When a panel is positioned between the first and second tips, the female profile and the male profile are caused to engage against the thermal break material.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2014Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: City Glass & Glazing (P) Ltd.Inventor: Arakkal Abdul Khader Abdul Lathief

Patent number: 9540861Abstract: A self-locking support system includes a female profile having a first profile leg extending approximately orthogonally from a base, a first locking leg extending from the first profile leg, and a first tip extending from the first profile leg, wherein a gap is formed between the base and the first profile leg, and a first male profile having a fulcrum formed at an intersection of a second profile leg and a second locking leg, the second profile leg having a second tip extending therefrom. When the second locking leg is inserted into the gap, and a locking bead is positioned between the first and second tips, the first male profile is caused to rotate about the fulcrum and the first and second locking legs are caused to engage against each other.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: CITY GLASS & GLAZING (P) LTD.Inventor: Arakkal Abdul Khader Abdul Lathief

Publication number: 20140115982Abstract: The current invention relates to a unique and compact self-lock glazing mechanism for heavy glazing needs, composed of two aluminum extrusion profiles—a male profile and a female profile—designed in such a way to self-lock glass panels using rubber beading; the said glazing system functions when glass panel is placed on the setting blocks over the upper leg of the said female profile with a pair of spacers between the vertical tip of the said female profile and the said glass panel, and then the horizontal leg of the said male profile is inserted with its locking tip facing upward into the gap between the lower and upper legs of the said female profile; the locking tips of both the male and female profiles are then engaged by tilting the said male profile on its built-in fulcrum by pulling the vertical leg outward and introducing a pair of wedges into the space so created between the said glass panel and the said vertical tip of the male profile to keep the lock engaged and the said profiles get arrested; eveType: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2014Publication date: May 1, 2014Inventor: Arakkal Abdul Khader Abdul Lathief

Patent number: 8621793Abstract: A self-lock glazing mechanism of two aluminum extrusion profiles, a male profile and a female profile, to self-lock glass panels using beadings. The mechanism functions when a glass panel is positioned on setting blocks over the flat surface of the upper leg of the female profile—with spacers between the vertical leg of the female profile and the glass panel and the male profile with the locking tip facing upward on its horizontal leg inserted into the gap between the upper leg and the lower leg of the female profile against the female locking tip above. The locking tips of both male and female profiles are then engaged by tilting the vertical leg of the male profile outward about its built-in fulcrum, and inserting wedges into the space created between the glass panel and the vertical leg of the male profile, for keeping the glass panel locked in position.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2008Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: City Glass & Glazing (P) Ltd.Inventor: Arakkal Abdul Khader Abdul Lathief
