Appl. No.:

09/880774

Jeffrey H. Diamond - Palm Beach FL

Assignee:

Aranar, Inc. - West Palm Beach FL

International Classification:

E06B 716

52202, 52DIG 12, 523098, 427154, 427244, 427421, 4274072

Abstract:

A method of protecting glass panes in window structures installed in buildings includes applying a polymeric foam layer to the glass pane before the storm has arrived and peeling the polymeric foam layer from the glass pane after the storm has passed. The polymeric foam layer can be a polyurethane foam, provided as a one-component system or a two-component system, and the polyurethane foam can be sprayed onto the exterior surface of the glass pane to prevent damage thereto including shattering while absorbing energy from wind-borne debris. A window structure installed in a building includes a glass pane mounted to a frame with a polyurethane foam layer disposed thereon for protection of the glass pane during storms.

Abstract:

A stabilized window structure and method for stabilizing a window structure having a window frame entirely or substantially entirely devoid of glass includes a patch removably secured over the window frame to cover the opening in its entirety and a body of unifying material disposed over and bonded to the patch to form a cohesive mass therewith. Alternatively, a pre-formed, polymeric foam panel is removably secured over the window frame to cover the entirety of the opening. A method of removing a shattered window pane involves using pre-existing cracks in the pane to define the formation of separately removable, disconnected cohesive masses. A method of removing shards from a track of a window structure involves removing the shards as part of a single cohesive mass, as pieces of a single cohesive mass or as separate, disconnected cohesive masses.

Abstract:

A compressible structure for temporarily protecting a glass pane of a window structure includes a shaping member for removable securement on the window structure and defining a cavity over the glass pane and a layer of solidified compressible material in said cavity providing protection for the glass pane. A window protection system includes a shaping member and a supply system for supplying a compressible material in fluidic form to a cavity of the shaping member, wherein the fluidic compressible material sets to form a layer of solidified compressible material. A protected window structure comprises a window structure and a panel of solidified compressible foam material disposed over at least a portion of one or more glass panes of the window structure.

Abstract:

A stabilized window structure includes a window frame, a shattered window pane disposed in the window frame, and a layer of unifying material bonded to the window pane to form a cohesive mass removable from the frame as one or more integral and unitary pieces. A method of stabilizing and removing a shattered window pane from a window frame includes the steps of applying a layer of unifying material to an exterior surface and/or an interior surface of the shattered window pane, bonding the layer of unifying material to the window pane to form a cohesive mass therewith, and removing the cohesive mass from the window frame as one or more integral and unitary pieces.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A ported stabilized window structure includes a light transmissible patch secured over an opening of the window structure, a body of unifying material bonded to the patch to form a cohesive mass, and a port in the cohesive mass providing visualization and/or light transmission. The port is formed by a passage in the body of unifying material and by a segment of the patch that is maintained free of the unifying material. A system for ported stabilization of a window structure provides the components used to obtain a ported stabilized window structure. A method for ported stabilization of a window structure involves covering an opening of the window structure with a light transmissible patch, shielding a segment of the patch, applying a body of unifying material to the patch around the shielded segment to form a passage in the body of unifying material, and providing visualization and/or light transmission via a port formed by the passage and by the shielded segment.
