  • Publication number: 20040031306
    Abstract: A width conversion tool used to form a crease in the rear surface of a panel profile. The conversion tool has two legs with a gap formed therebetween which the rear surface slides through. A crease is formed in the rear surface by rollers and/or raised surfaces which protrude into the gap and deform the rear surface as it passes through the gap.

  • Publication number: 20030070370
    Abstract: A window wrap used to accommodate and protect various thicknesses of drywall around a rough window frame, which forms a window frame with perfectly square corners. The window wrap has a jamb/sill extension and a wall extension, each extending perpendicular to each other. The wall extension has a front surface, a rear surface, and a distal surface extending between the front and rear surfaces, and is adjustable to fit various thicknesses of drywall panel. A layer of primer or adhesive laminate is applied to the front surface of each extension so that paint can bond to the front surface. The jamb/sill extension of the window wrap may also be made similar to the wall extension and used to form any depth of jamb/sill.

  • Publication number: 20030005660
    Abstract: A finishing device used to form a corner between two panels of drywall has a flexible joint extending along a predetermined axis. Two wings are connected to and extend outwardly in a diverging relation from the flexible joint to form a corner having an adjustable angle. Each wing has a front surface, a rear surface, and an edge distal from the flexible joint. The device is adjustable to fit various thicknesses of drywall panel. A layer of primer or adhesive laminate is applied to the front surface of the wings so that paint can bond to the front surface. The finishing device is capable of forming both inside and outside corners. To form inside and outside corners, the finishing device bends along the flexible joint.

  • Patent number: 6146048
    Abstract: A connector and method for connecting two drywall corner finishing devices. The connector connects and/or aligns the two drywall corner finishing devices positioned end to end by being inserted into corresponding openings located in the profile of the drywall corner finishing devices. The side members of the connector are pinched in, reducing the size and shape of the cross-section of the connector so as to fit within the corresponding openings. When released the side members deflect back pressing out against the sidewall of the openings.

  • Patent number: 5916101
    Abstract: A finishing device used to form a corner between two panels of drywall has a flexible joint extending along a predetermined axis. Two wings are connected to and extend outwardly in a diverging relation from the flexible joint to form a corner having an adjustable angle. Each wing has a front surface, a rear surface, and an edge distal from the flexible joint. This edge abuts one of said drywall panels and has a thickness approximately equal to the thickness of the drywall panel. Alternatively, the edge has an adjustable thickness to fit various thicknesses of drywall panel. A layer of primer or adhesive laminate is applied to the front surface of the wings so that paint can bond to the front surface. The finishing device is capable of forming both inside and outside corners. To form inside corners, the finishing device bends along the flexible joint.

The finishing device is capable of forming both inside and outside corners. To form inside corners, the finishing device bends along the flexible joint. To form outside corners, strips parallel to the flexible joint are removed from the rear surface of the wings and the finishing device is folded along the openings thus created.

  • Patent number: 4663885
    Abstract: An improved security window cover is provided having a peripheral frame structure and a security shielding door or cover hingedly attached to the frame. The frame has at least two walls intended to conform to the interior building wall adjacent the window and at least two other walls intended to ultimately conform to the shape, contour and dimensions of the inner circumferential edge of the wall opening in which the window is installed. The inner circumferential walls of the frame have a degree of flexibility, thereby allowing the installer to quickly and easily bend or shape the inner circumferential wall to conform to the inner circumferential edge of the wall opening in which the window is installed.The shielding door may have a ridge medial and parallel to the edges of the door and on the side thereof facing the outside of the building.

  • Patent number: 4555867
    Abstract: An improved security window cover having a peripheral frame structure and a security shielding door or cover hingedly attached to the frame. The frame has walls which conform to the interior building wall adjacent the window and walls which conform to the shape, contour and dimensions of the inner circumferential edge of the wall opening in which the window is installed. The inner circumferential walls of the frame have partial rigid joints joining them to one another which create a degree of flexibility for fit and installation. The shielding door preferably has a lip or ridge on the outside which is medial and parallel to the edges of the door which serves to strengthen the door, protect the frame installation means and act as a guide and support for insulation.
