  • Patent number: 10550623
    Abstract: Provided is a fenestration kit comprising a vinyl based welded fenestration chassis and chassis covers for covering the chassis inside surface, outside surface, or both. The kit may be a window sash frame kit, a door panel frame kit, a window frame kit, or a door frame kit. These kits will be referred to generally as fenestration frame kits. The chassis covers are provided with stops which cooperate with corresponding stops on the chassis frame to prevent relative longitudinal movement between the covers and the chassis. The chassis covers are provided with engagement members which cooperate with corresponding engagement members provided on the chassis to connect the covers to the chassis.

  • Patent number: 7992841
    Abstract: A combination of a rail, an upright, and a slide connector for attaching the rail to the upright includes a first connector part including a mounting arm secured to an underside surface of the rail adjacent one end thereof and a tongue depending generally downwardly from the mounting arm, and a second connector part including a mounting base secured to a side surface of the upright and a generally planar engagement body extending laterally outwardly from the mounting base. The engagement body has a slot therein for receiving the tongue when the rail is translated along an engagement axis from a disengaged position in which the first and second parts are generally free to move relative to each other to an engaged position in which the first and second parts are substantially inhibited from moving relative to each other, thereby attaching the rail to the upright.
