Abstract:

A door having four lineal door frame components, each of the lineal components having a cross-section defining an interior space extending in a longitudinal direction of the linear components. Four symmetric, L-shaped members are provided that each have a corner portion and two posts that extend from the corner portion at a right angle to one another. The posts each have a length and a plurality of fins extending therefrom along at least portions of the length. A metal reinforcement member is arranged in the hollow portion of the lineal components so as to extend substantially along the entire length of the lineal components and leave an empty portion of the hollow section at each end of the lineal components, which empty portions have a length equal to at least the length of the posts of the L-shaped body. The posts of the L-shaped members are mounted in the free hollow portions of the lineal components so that at least some of the fins engage an interior surface of the lineal components.

International Classification:

E05F011/28

US Classification:

049345000

Abstract:

A linear window operator having a receiver housing with an opening therein and a spring member adjacent the opening. The spring member projects upwardly in a rest position. A hinge bracket is provided which has a flexible member that extends to form a free end configured as a female receiver element. The receiver housing is mounted to the window frame and the hinge bracket is mounted to the window sash. A push rod is slidable through the opening in the receiver housing and has a first, male end connected to the female receiver of the hinge bracket. A second end of the push rod has a detent that is engageable with an engagement lip formed by the edge of the opening in the receiver housing.

Inventors:

Kurt Winner - Waipahu HI, US
Clint Tirpak - Waipahu HI, US

International Classification:

E05D 15/22

US Classification:

49161, 49181, 49506

Abstract:

A tilt in window with sashes movably mounted to the interior of the frame and inwardly pivotable. Each of the sashes is held within jamb channels by capture legs which overlap a portion of the interior side of the sashes to restrain the sashes from inward movement, when the window is normally closed. The sashes are movable within the jamb channels for a distance to permit sashes to be removed from being held by the retaining members. With such removal the sashes are able to be inwardly pivoted. In one embodiment, a bottom outwardly facing sill is sloped downward to prevent water accumulation with the sill being integrated with sloping jamb sections, in continuity with the sill. The frame has retention elements for snap in parallel placement of separate jamb members having channels with the capture legs for holding the sashes and channels for the counterbalance weights or springs.

Appl. No.:

8/858696

Inventors:

Kurt W. Winner - Honolulu HI

International Classification:

E05F 1124

US Classification:

74 8918

Abstract:

A casement and awning window operator consisting of four parts, a top cover, a base, a worm gear receivable in a pocket on the base and top and a geared actuating arm engaging the worm gear having an integral arm extending out of the operator. The cover is secured to the base by an adhesive applied to matching surfaces of the cover and base trapping the worm gear therein. The cover and base are made from two plastic halves in a generally horizontal parting plane thus presenting a large adhesive contact area in a plane putting the contact surfaces in shear and allowing insertion of the gear and arm prior to assembly. The cover and base may have molded parts providing a spring-like effect to control the friction of the operator to prevent it from rotating out of a set position.
