Patent number: 9316040Abstract: A system for field mulling a plurality of fenestration assemblies in an opening includes a first fenestration assembly positioned in the opening. The first fenestration assembly has a mull halve. A second fenestration assembly is positioned in the opening adjacent to the first fenestration assembly. The second fenestration assembly has a mull halve and is positioned so that the second fenestration assembly mull halve is adjacent to the first fenestration assembly mull halve. At least one H-shaped mull connector is coupled to the first fenestration assembly mull halve and the second fenestration assembly mull halve.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: MILGARD MANUFACTURING INCORPORATEDInventors: Melvin Saunders, Michael Kuneman

Patent number: 9091116Abstract: A mull binder system includes a mull binder that couples a first and second window frame and provides a seal along the grooves. The first window frame has an exterior side, an opposing interior side and at least a first side and a second side extending perpendicular to the exterior side and interior side, the first side including a groove therein. A second window frame has an exterior side, an opposing interior side and a first side and a second side extending perpendicular to the exterior side and interior side, the second side including a groove therein. The mull binder has a first and second arm coupled thereto. Each arm has a plurality of flexible barbs extending therefrom. The barbs on the first arm and second arm are received within the groove of the first window frame and second window frame respectively.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2011Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: Milgard Manufacturing IncorporatedInventors: Melvin Saunders, Chris Roderick, Michael Kuneman

Patent number: 8490347Abstract: A corner joint for a window or door frame includes first and second frame members each having a mitered end, at least one cavity in each mitered end and at least one side wall opening into each cavity. A screw boss is disposed in the cavity of the first frame member, and a detent lug on a flexible resilient portion of the screw boss is received in the side wall opening of the first frame member. A corner key has a first leg received in the cavity of the first frame member over the screw boss to hold the screw boss in place, and a second leg received in the cavity of the second frame member. A screw extends through the side wall opening in the second frame member and through the corner key, and is threaded into the screw boss to clamp the mitered ends of the frame members together. A sealing gasket may be captured between the mitered ends of the frame members.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Milgard Manufacturing IncorporatedInventors: Jess J.
