Abstract: A sensor device for a filter assembly is provided with at least one sensor element that detects an operating parameter of the filter assembly. A fire protection material at least partially encloses the sensor element. The sensor element is a water sensor. The fire protection material comprises an intumescent material.

Abstract: An extrusion for use in a floor assembly including a load bearing horizontal portion and at least one horizontal support member in a substantially parallel horizontal plane, and a plurality of leg members extending downwardly from the load bearing horizontal portion. The extrusion also includes a tongue extending outwardly from a first outside surface thereof and a receiving portion provided at the second outside surface thereof that is sized and positioned to receive therein a tongue of a second extrusion forming a part of the floor assembly. The second outside surface also includes at least one aperture that is sized and positioned to receive therethrough at least one fastener for securing the extrusion to a rigid underlying support such as a plurality of wood joists.

Abstract: An extrusion for use in a floor assembly that is secured to a rigid underlying support. The extrusion has an exposed surface and a base section underlying the exposed surface. The extrusion is made of a first extruded material, preferably a hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and more preferably a co-extrusion of a recycled polyvinyl chloride substrate covered by a weatherable polyvinyl chloride capstock. The base section has at least a portion thereof including a second extruded material which is interposed between the plastic extrusion and the rigid underlying support when the plastic extrusion is secured to the rigid underlying support. The second extruded material resists undesired squeaking sounds from occurring when weight bearing loads move on the floor assembly. A floor assembly adapted to be secured to an underlying rigid support and a complete floor assembly and rigid underlying support are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for producing an extrusion having a wood grain appearance. A first extruder including a die and a second extruder which includes a housing and a screw is provided, the screw having a portion disposed within the housing and a portion projecting outwardly from the housing. The second extruder is secured to the die of the first extruder by a pipe, the pipe receiving the outwardly projecting portion of the second extruder screw. A first material is extruded through the first extruder die to produce an extrusion and a second material is introduced into the second extruder. The second material is delivered through the second extruder and the pipe means to bond the second material to at least a portion of the surface of the extrusion to provide an extrusion with at least a portion of its surface having a wood grain appearance. An associated second extruder as well as an apparatus for producing an extrusion having a wood grain appearance is also provided.

Abstract: A window assembly having a window latch construction is disclosed. The window assembly comprises a window frame having parting bead mounted therein and a window sash having mounted thereon a parting bead cam rotatable from a first position to a second position. When the parting bead cam is in a first position, the window sash can slide vertically with respect to the window frame. When the parting bead cam is in a second position, the window sash can tilt angularly with respect to the window frame.
