Patent number: 11199045Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be directed to the functional application and method of use of a jacking screw for adjusting a window frame. In accordance with the present disclosure, adjusting the jacking screw may cause a first portion of the window frame to be lifted or lowered with respect to a second portion of the window frame. In doing so, a desired alignment of a window installed in the window frame may be achieved. This process may eliminate the use of shimming the underlying surface, thereby making it easier to install the window frame on surfaces that are not perfectly level.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Matrex Window System Inc.Inventors: Norman Koster, Angelo Forgione

Patent number: 10844651Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be directed to the functional application and method of use of the compression gasket for sealing a window installed in a window frame. In accordance with the present disclosure, a compression gasket may comprise soft rubber portion that applies pressure against a window surface. The soft rubber portion may compress, causing a rigid plastic portion that to bow outwardly and engage inner surfaces of the window frame. The bowing out of the rigid plastic portion, which may include a leaf spring, may secure the compression gasket to the window frame. The compression gasket may be designed to stop water leakage that may occur between the window and the window frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Matrex Window System Inc.Inventors: Norman Koster, Angelo Forgione

Patent number: 10711514Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be directed towards a male and female gasket coupling for securing adjacent window frames. In accordance with the present disclosure, the male gasket may comprise a head portion that creates a seal inside a cavity of the female gasket. The female gasket may further be enabled to collapse on itself as it engages a surface of the male gasket. The seal may be maintained when the male and female gaskets move toward each other or when the male and female gaskets move away from each other due to fluctuations in temperature.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: MATREX WINDOW SYSTEM INC.Inventors: Norman Koster, Angelo Forgione

Patent number: 10689899Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be directed towards a gasket railing system including a rail, such that the rail includes a rail gasket at least partially disposed within the rail and a leg insertion guide disposed within the rail gasket. The leg insertion guide may form a leg insertion cavity configured to receive a window frame leg. The rail gasket may be made up of a pliable material, and the leg insertion guide may be made up of a rigid material. The window frame leg may be attached to at least one side of a window frame made up of four window sides. The window frame may fully encase a window pane. A first horizontal width of at least one of the window frame sides may be greater than or equal to one half of a horizontal width of the rail.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2018Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: MATREX WINDOW SYSTEM INC.Inventors: Norman Koster, Angelo Forgione

Patent number: 10590696Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be directed to the functional application and method of use of the sill track seal. In accordance with the present disclosure, a window sill track seal gasket may comprise a base portion which may be secured to a window sill frame and a protrusion portion which may be tapered and may extend upwardly from the base portion. The window sill frame may be configured for receiving a window. As a window is installed, the protrusion portion may engage a bottom surface of the window, flexing downwardly, and creating a seal between the distal end of the protrusion portion and the bottom surface of the window to prevent water leakage.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: MATREX WINDOW SYSTEM INC.Inventors: Norman Koster, Angelo Forgione

Publication number: 20200032577Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be directed to the functional application and method of use of a heel bead gasket and glass stop for sealing a window frame. In accordance with the present disclosure, the heel bead gasket may comprise a head portion and a heel portion, each held in place by a glass stop. The head portion and the heel portion of the heel bead gasket may each include soft rubber portions for engaging a surface of the window and an inner portion of a window sill, respectively. The glass stop may exert a forces on both the head and heel portions of the heel bead gasket so as to press the rubber portions against surfaces, thereby creating seals. Together, the heel bead gasket and glass stop may create a seal that prevents water from leaking through the sill of the window frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2018Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Norman Koster, Angelo Forgione
