Abstract: A building wall system has a plurality of panels positioned adjacent one another for securement to a frame structure of a building via a plurality of fasteners. A plurality of rails secures a façade to the panels. Each rail has a first, second and third portion. The first portion receives the fasteners to secure the bracket to the frame structure. The second portion provides a surface for securement with the façade. The second portion is spaced from the panel so that fasteners do not enter the panel. The third portion rests against the panel to provide rigidity for the rail.

Abstract: An articulating door generally includes a first door panel having a bottom section, the bottom section defining a first bottom portion, a second bottom portion and a first bottom channel therebetween. A second door panel is coupled for rotation with the first door panel. The first door panel and the second door panel moving between an open condition and a closed condition. The second door panel has a top section proximate the bottom section of the first door panel. The articulating door also includes a blocking member having a ramp portion. The blocking member extends from the top section of the second door panel. At least a portion of the blocking member is received by the first bottom channel of the first door panel in the closed condition. The ramp member is disposed between the first bottom portion of the first door panel and the top section of the second door panel.

Abstract: An overhead door includes a plurality of adjacent panels hinged to one another. Each panel includes a first and second side as well as a first and second edge. The first and second edges of adjacent panels are complementary with one another. The first edge includes a convex portion projecting from the panel and a seal contact portion substantially continuous with an apex of the convex portion. The second edge includes a concave portion complementary with the convex portion and a seal retaining portion substantially continuous with the concave portion. A seal is provided in a recess of the second edge to form a sealed joint with the seal contact portion of the first edge. A gap is formed between the concave and convex portions of adjacent hinge panels. The gap has a width or thickness between the concave and convex portion which is substantially constant. Also, the width or thickness remains substantially constant as adjacent panels are articulated or rotated with respect to one another about the hinge.

The first and second edges of adjacent panels are complementary with one another. The first edge includes a convex portion projecting from the panel and an abutting portion substantially continuous with an apex of the convex portion. The second edge includes a concave portion complementary with the convex portion and an abutting portion substantially continuous with the concave portion and which opposes the abutting portion of the first edge to form a butt joint. A gap is formed between the concave and convex portions of adjacent hinge panels. The gap has a width or thickness between the concave and convex portion which is constant. Also, the width or thickness remains constant as adjacent panels are articulated or rotated with respect to one another about the hinge.
