Patent number: 10267084Abstract: In a method of supplying an element for covering a non-vision area in a curtain wall on an architectural structure, a plurality of shadow boxes is prefabricated at a location remote from both a unitized curtain wall assembly shop and the architectural structure. The shadow boxes are prefabricated by sealing an interior spacer between a vision glass panel and a back structure. The back structure includes an insulating material surrounded by a rigid envelope. The vision glass panel, the back structure and the interior spacer define a hermetically sealed void therein. A structural seal is applied about the interior spacer and is affixed to the peripheral edge of the vision glass, the interior spacer and the back structure. The plurality of shadow boxes is then delivered to a selected one of the unitized curtain wall assembly shop and the architectural site.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignees: Rainlight Studio LLC, Dow Silicones CorporationInventors: Stephen Weinryb, Neil McClelland

Publication number: 20150225947Abstract: In a modular glazing system, a plurality of rafter units is affixed to stiffener arms of a plurality of node stiffeners so as to connect the node stiffeners and so that the rafter units define at least one polygonal shape. A frame unit is affixed to each rafter unit. An elongated spacer is placed on each frame unit. The elongate spacer has a glazing placement surface with a predetermined angular relationship to the frame unit. A glazing unit, having a shape corresponding to the polygonal shape defined by at least three rafter units, is placed on the glazing placement surface of the elongated spacer on each frame. Each glazing unit is sealed to the glazing placement surfaces and to the frame units.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 9, 2015Publication date: August 13, 2015Applicant: HOK PRODUCT DESIGN, LLCInventors: Neil McClelland, Nina Choe
