Abstract: A screen assembly for installation in a fenestration product of the type having a window covering with a sliding operator. The screen assembly includes a screen frame having a screen material and is adapted to releasably attach to an interior side of the fenestration product. The screen assembly includes a screen operator slidable relative to the screen frame and releasably engagable with the sliding operator, such that the screen operator is operable from the interior side of the screen assembly.

Abstract: A connector for holding an internal muntin assembly away from a perimeter spacer of an insulating glass assembly until the assembler is ready to affix the muntin bar to the perimeter bar using an attachment device. The connector includes a positioning tab for holding the muntin bar away from the perimeter spacer to allow positioning of the muntin bar assembly until the positioning tab is moved relative to a baseplate so that the attachment device, such as thick double stick tape, is pressed to the perimeter spacer.

Abstract: A fenestration product such as a door or a window includes a plurality of frame members positioned in a surrounding relationship about a panel, each of the members having a pair of opposite open ends. A plurality of corner locks couple the beveled ends of the frame members together to form secure corners of the frame. A miter joint interface line is defined between the abutting, beveled ends of the members at each corner. Each corner lock comprises a generally L-shaped body having a pair of legs that are secured within the open ends of the corresponding frame members. A pair of parallel sealant channels extend along the back, top and front of the body and are disposed on opposite sides of and laterally offset from the interface line so that sealant filling the channels creates a pair of parallel seal paths between the lock and the frame that are laterally offset from the interface line.

Abstract: A slatted blind (10) includes a headrail (12) with a pair of ladder cords (16, 18) depending therefrom with slats (14) supported on the wefts (44, 52) extending between the warps (42a,b, 50a,b) of each cord and further includes a tilt mechanism (20) to extend one warp of each cord and to retract the other in order to tilt the slats. The preferred tilt mechanism (20) includes a pair of slides (60, 62) positioned on the bottom wall (26) of the headrail (12). The ends of the warps (42a,b, 50a,b) are coupled with the slides (60, 62) on opposed sides of respective cord holes (82, 90) defined through the slides (60, 62) and extend therethrough and also through respective cord openings (30, 32) in the bottom wall. Back and forth shifting of the slides (60, 62) along the bottom wall (26) alternately extend one warp of each cord and retract the other in order to tilt the slats.
