Abstract: The device includes two sub-assemblies (1) for mounting the rail (2) for supporting the curtain on the leaves (3) of the window, each sub-assembly having a plate (5) and an offset arm (6). The plate is formed so as to be able to be fixed to the upper edge of a leaf (3), in the vicinity of the pivot axis thereof, and includes mounting elements (14) for pivotably mounting the offset arm thereon, along an axis extending, after mounting on the leaf (3), parallel to the pivot axis of the leaf. The offset arm (6) is formed to offset the rail (2) relative to the wall; it is pivotably mounted on the plate (5) by the mounting elements and is pivotably connected to the rail (2) at a point thereof which is longitudinally fixed, also along an axis parallel to the pivot axis of the leaf (3).

Abstract: A door assembly includes a door body; a panel, typically a window, which is slidably mounted on the door body; a retractable screen mounted on the door; and a removable connection between the screen and the panel. Preferably, the connection is a peelably removable connection. The connection may include a self-mating reclosable fastener, a hook and loop fastener or the like. The connection may include one or more magnets, preferably in the form of flexible magnetic strips. The door assembly thus simplifies the installation of the screen and its removal and replacement.

Abstract: A screen assembly for installation in a fenestration product of the type having a window covering with a sliding operator. The screen assembly includes a screen frame having a screen material and is adapted to releasably attach to an interior side of the fenestration product. The screen assembly includes a screen operator slidable relative to the screen frame and releasably engagable with the sliding operator, such that the screen operator is operable from the interior side of the screen assembly.

Abstract: A tilt-slide type sunroof of a motor vehicle having a sliding panel for opening or closing a roof opening formed in a roof panel. A housing is provided below the roof panel and separated therefrom, having a housing opening corresponding to the roof opening, and forming a space disposed rearwardly of the roof opening, capable of receiving the sliding panel in cooperation with the roof panel. A shade is provided on the sliding panel for covering the housing opening from above when the roof opening is closed by the sliding panel. The shade is constructed such that an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the shade is made displaceable upward from the housing opening higher than a rear end portion of said shade, the length of the shade is such that when the intermediate portion of the shade is displaced upward, the rear end of the shade is positioned in the space.

Abstract: An improved wall ventilator for use in building constructions comprising a housing having peripheral wall members defining a ventilating passageway therethrough, a supporting lattice extending across the passageway and defining a narrow elongate slot, a manually adjustable louver section having a plurality of panels extending in side by side relation across the passageway behind the support lattice and being interconnected for pivotal movement about adjacent side edges of each other, hinge means pivotally interconnecting an end one of the plurality of panels to an adjacent side wall portion of the housing, and a manually engageable control knob attached to the opposite end one of the plurality of panels extending through the lattice slot and slideable therealong to fold and unfold the panels upon themselves about their interconnected side edges to open and close the ventilating passageway of the housing.
