Publication number: 20230112853Abstract: An entryway door is capable of withstanding direct hit hurricane loads and subsequent water surge for long periods. A door slab is formed of reaction-injected-molded aliphatic polyurethane having an outward face, and inward face, and a peripheral edge, with a window opening formed therethrough. A ballistic glass-clad polycarbonate laminate window is provided which sized larger than the window opening. The laminate window having a central light transmissive region and an outer boarder region. A primer is applied to the outer boarder region of outward and inward faces of the laminate window. The door slab is reaction-injected-molded about the laminate window with the outer boarder region extending into and is bonded to a portion of the door slab forming the window opening. The preferred door in mounted to a structure in an outwardly opening manor with a seal entrapped between the periphery of the door and a door jam.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2021Publication date: April 13, 2023Applicant: V Tech Industries, L.P.Inventors: Arthur J.

Patent number: 8393120Abstract: The present invention provides a skylight frame design that is adapted to receive at least two panels of glass. The skylight frame comprises a stepped frame section that includes a lower step surface and an upper step surface. The lower step surface is adapted to receive a first glass panel so that a section of the first glass panel lies flush against the lower step surface. Similarly, the upper step surface is adapted to receive a second glass panel so that the second glass panel lies flush against the upper step surface. The skylight frame design of the invention is either incorporated into a skylight frame that may be attached to a curb unit on a roof or it may be an integral part of a skylight frame-curb assembly that also contains a curb section.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: V-Tech Patents, L.L.C.Inventors: Arthur J.

Patent number: 6863253Abstract: A support base for distributing a concentrated load over a contact surface is disclosed. The support base includes a body formed of moldable polymeric material having a top surface and a generally planar bottom surface. At least one recess is integrally formed in the top surface for receiving a support member. The support member transfers the concentrated load to the planar body. Furthermore, at least one through bore is provided in the support base, and the through bore extends from the top surface to the bottom surface of the support base for receiving a fastener. The through bore has a shaft portion and a relatively oversized cavity portion adjacent to the bottom surface for receiving fasteners such as nuts for securing bolts, as well as, bolt heads of different sizes and configurations. The support base has many advantages over the prior art for example, the base may be attached to different interface bracketry without be modified.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2003Date of Patent: March 8, 2005Assignee: Valentz Family Limited PartnershipInventors: Arthur J.

Patent number: 6592093Abstract: A support base is disclosed for distributing a concentrated load over a generally planar surface. The support base comprises a baseplate formed of a moldable polymeric material having a top surface and a generally planar bottom surface. A tubular sleeve is formed integral with the baseplate and extends from the top surface defining an upper portion and a lower cavity portion. A cap, also formed integral with the baseplate, is oriented at the distal end of the sleeve lower cavity portion, thus defining the cavity height. A through bore is formed through the cap generally coaxial with the cavity. An array of projections, formed integral with the baseplate, extend upward from a top surface of the cap and are spaced around the through bore such that the distal ends of the projections provide a generally planar upper mounting surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Portable Pipe Hangers, L.P.Inventor: Arthur J.
