Abstract: A curtain wall mounting system for cantilevered support of at least one structure. The system includes an anchor plate adapted to integrally mount with a web section of a curtain wall. The curtain wall web section includes either a hollow tongue web extending outwardly of the curtain wall vertical mullion or an integrally formed flange region extending outwardly of the curtain wall vertical mullion. The anchor plate has at least one generally planer body portion with a first set of mating apertures adapted for alignment with the first set of fastening apertures of the web. The first set of apertures are oriented generally perpendicular to the tension forces transmitted by the anchor plate. The anchor plate also includes a second set of apertures adapted for securing of structures outwardly from the curtain wall.

Abstract: A mullion sealing bridge and method for use in a curtain wall system. In one aspect, the bridge is placed at an intersection horizontal and vertical mullions to divert fluid along the curtain wall system. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: Disclosed is a moisture collection bridge and method for use in a curtain wall system. In one aspect, the moisture collection bridge is placed at an intersection of a vertical mullion and one or more horizontal members. The moisture collection bridge is formed to collect fluid in a recess and divert the fluid out of the curtain wall system through an outlet. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: Disclosed is a bridging member, formed of flexible or non-flexible material, for use with a curtain wall system for building exteriors. The curtain wall system includes a vertical mullion operable to attach to a horizontal member. A sealing member is secured in a void created by the intersection of the vertical mullion and the horizontal member. The sealing member includes a substantially planar top surface and a lip portion extending from a bottom surface of the sealing member.

Abstract: A retainer and weatherseal for structurally bonded glazing, which includes an elongate retainer profile having a generally H-shaped transverse cross section, thereby forming a pair of elongate U-shaped retaining channels; and securing device for securing the profile coextensively along a curtainwall framing member, such that one side of the pair of retaining channels is urged against the framing member. The retainer may be in combination with a curtainwall framing member, which includes a framing member having securing device longitudinally along the outward face of the framing member, for receiving the securing device and which are reciprocally configured, the retainer being secured to the framing member with the securing device interlocked in the securing device. The retainer and framing member combination are utilized in a curtainwall framing system having structurally bonded glazing wherein each of the intermediate vertical framing members of the system include the retainer and framing member.

Abstract: An insulating composite frame member is disclosed which comprises an elongated gutter member and an elongated face member disposed in parallel, spaced apart relation. First and second facing flanges project toward one another from the gutter member and the face member respectively. A thermal isolator comprised of a thermally insulating material has first and second jaw-like clamps formed on opposite sides thereof which engage the first and second facing flanges respectively to secure the gutter member and the face member to the isolator. The frame member further includes means formed on the gutter member and the face member for crimping against the clamps of the isolator to lock the isolator to the gutter member and the face member. In the disclosed embodiment the isolator is adhesively bonded to the gutter member and to the frame member in addition to the mechanical coupling provided by the jaw-like clamps of the isolator.

Abstract: A gasket for mounting to a pivotably mounted structure such as an operable window or door is disclosed. The gasket comprises a rigid body member comprised of a first material. A flexible hinge is formed integrally with a lower portion of the rigid body member, the flexible hinge being formed of a second material which is less rigid than the first material comprising the rigid body member. A rigid wiper is formed integrally with a lower portion of the flexible hinge and extending downward therefrom, the rigid wiper being formed of a third material which is more rigid than the second material comprising the flexible hinge. The disclosed gasket reduces the amount of drag created as the window or door is operated, thereby facilitating operation of the window or door.
