  • Patent number: 10111351
    Abstract: We disclose a method for securing an infrared transmissive polymer to integrated panels, deadfronts, or transition plates, thus providing a reinforced polymer window through which the thermographer can scan an energized unit without being directly exposed to contact with internal components or having to remove said panels, deadfronts, or transition plates. We also disclose a device for securing the polymer consisting of a retention frame with half shear retainers that keep the polymer locked in place.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 21, 2015
    Date of Patent: October 23, 2018
    Assignee: Thomas & Betts International LLC

  • Patent number: 6802163
    Abstract: A plant-on is disclosed that saves labor and material cost in producing a raised belly band decorative relief for a masonry building. The plant-on reduces labor costs as it may be applied to the structure by a single person. It is designed for direct application of the masonry materials such as stucco to the plant-on, without requiring waterproofing, providing further labor cost saving. It is also economical in the use of masonry materials to plant-on the band by limiting the volume available, and it may be customized to provide a variety of profiles. The plant-on is constructed of composite or polymeric materials which resists water damage and wood destroying insect pests.

  • Patent number: 4993468
    Abstract: The invention concerns a window and screen system provided at the end thereof that permits a screen to be moved into position upon the opening of the window. One end of the screen is attached to the end wall of the window sash thereby allowing effective sealing when the window is closed as well as the complete hiding of the screen. The screen itself is provided with an elongated seal along each of the marginal edges. As the window opens the screen is retracted from a holding area through a seal and guide channels cooperate with the elongated seal to provide a screen sealed about each of its marginal edges regardless of the degree to which the window is opened.
