Publication number: 20100229468Abstract: A door with a moveable window sash and a method of operating the same. The door includes vertical jambs with vertical channels. A window sash is movable in the vertical channels. A retractable screen assembly is attached to the door. The retractable screen assembly includes a roller, a flexible screen attached at a first end to the roller and at a second end to the movable window sash, and a biasing mechanism adapted to apply a continuous torque to the roller. The torque generates a positioning force on the window sash equal to at least 50% of the force of gravity acting on a window sash, such that the window sash can be positioned at an infinite number of locations along the vertical channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2010Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: PELLA CORPORATIONInventors: Richard Allen, Todd N.

Patent number: 7661226Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for an easy installation storm door for installation in a home. The door system may include a door panel that is mounted onto two vertical z-bar frames such that the door system can be installed in a left hinge or right hinge format. The z-bar frames are precut at the factory to be shorter than a standard doorframe so that they do not have to be cut during installation. Also included in the system are top and bottom expanders that fit onto a top and bottom side of the door panel so as to selectively adjust the vertical height of the door panel. The top and bottom expanders further insure a reasonable air and moisture barrier between the interior and exterior of the home. The door system further includes a lock assembly that is pre-installed such that it can be utilized whether the door system is installed in a left hinge or right hinge format.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2005Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Larson Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Keith Kibbel, Michael D. Gonnerman, Rashid Bharucha, Mark E. Abdella, Duane Pecinovsky, John M. Parkhurst, Gary L. Spoelstra, Todd N. Stratmoen, José Carlos Figueiredo da Cunha

Patent number: 7117639Abstract: A reversible door (10), having a defined top, includes two notches (11, 12) on opposite sides of the door. A template is provided to fit into one of the notches (11 or 12) and installer drilled holes are formed through the door proximate one of the notches (11 or 12). Then, a mortised handle assembly (15) is positioned through the holes formed in the notch. A hinge assembly is secured to the opposite side of the door from the handle assembly. A snap cover (14) is positioned in the notch that does not have the handle assembly (15). Therefore, the door (10) is reversible without having to be flipped end for end and provides for a reversible door having mortised hardware.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2001Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Larson Manufacturing Company of South Dakota, Inc.Inventors: Mark E.
