Patent number: 10093051Abstract: Methods of joining members, forming molded portions with members, securing inserts with members, and joined members, such as for a frame or a frame for a fenestration unit, formed thereby, are disclosed. One embodiment of the method includes placing a first member with a first cavity in a joining position, placing a second member proximate the first cavity of the first member in the joining position, injecting a resin into the first cavity, allowing the resin to solidify at least partially to join the first member and second member to form a joined member, and removing the joined member from the joining position. Optionally, the joined member can be formed in a fixture, can include molded portions formed by the resin, and/or can include inserts held in place by the resin. Further, members without cavities can form a cavity that can receive the resin.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Andersen CorporationInventors: Jim Eggert, Dale Thompson, Paul Machacek, James T.

Publication number: 20140086673Abstract: A mold for producing a variety of fenestration members having different predetermined lengths is disclosed. Generally, the mold has a first lineal mold part that has an extended length and a second lineal mold part also having an extended length. The mold may also have mold end parts that are adapted to form end features of the fenestration member. In use, the first lineal mold part and the second lineal mold part fit together to define a profile. The first and second mold end parts can be positioned in a range of positions to define the lengths of a variety of different molded fenestration members.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2013Publication date: March 27, 2014Applicant: Andersen CorporationInventors: Troy Rubenzer, Jim Eggert, Dale Thompson, Kathleen Barton, David J.
