Abstract: A movable building structure is configured to selectively enclose an area. The structure includes at least one side wall and an end wall attached thereto. The side wall comprises a number of individual panels that are independently movable along a track secured to the ground. The panels are selectively collapsible such that they may travel along the track and overlap one another when in a collapsed or stowed position. The structure may be configured in any number of intermediate positions wherein the panels are partially collapsed. Roof panels may be attached to the side walls for movement therewith, or alternatively, the roof panels may operate independent of the side walls to extend and retract between an open and collapsed configuration.

Abstract: A window assembly includes first, second, third, and fourth frame pieces connected together to form a rectangular frame. Each of the frame pieces has an inside face defining a glass-receiving groove and a muntin-engaging face orthogonal to the inside face and defining a muntin-receiving channel. A first muntin is oriented in the first frame piece muntin-receiving channel and the second frame piece muntin-receiving channel, and a second muntin is oriented in the third frame piece muntin-receiving channel and the fourth frame piece muntin-receiving channel. The first and second muntins cross over to engage at a first half lap joint. The frame pieces are connected to each other with rabbet joints. The window assembly can be part of a garage door arrangement. A method of making a window assembly includes connecting together the frame pieces with rabbet joints and orienting first and second muntins to engage at a lap joint.

Abstract: A roll-up door having one or more sections. Each section includes a foam plastic core between two opposed first and second sheet members. The first and second sheet members are generally similar in overall size, but can be fabricated from different materials. The core is housed between the sheet members and typically is fastened directly to the sheet members. The sections typically also include one or more border members around the periphery of the core. Adjacent panel sections are pivotally hinged. The border members located along the opposed mating portions of adjacent panel sections are stepped, thereby allowing the door to be raised or lowered. One or more panel sections may contain openings and securing means for one or more window assemblies.

Abstract: A roll-up door has a plurality of horizontally extended panels hinged together to permit the door to be moved between a vertical orientation and a horizontal orientation relative to a doorway. A frame has border side members, a center member, and a top member secured to the outside to the panels exposes portions of the front walls of the panels. The exposed portions of the panels have door facades whereby the garage door has the appearance of two or more doors.

Abstract: A combined swing door and roll-up door having upright front frame members projected outwardly from sheet members to provide a front facade of a plurality of swing doors. The sheet members have vertical grooves in their exterior surfaces extend generally parallel to the upright frame members.
