Shipping system with pre-hung door
A shipping system for a pre-hung door having a door panel hinged to a frame. The shipping system includes a bracket configured to wrap at least partially around a portion of the frame, the bracket having a first leg for extending between the door panel and the frame. The first leg may include an opening passing therethrough. The opening is intended to align with an edge bore of the door panel and with a catch bore in the frame. The shipping system also includes a door plug for insertion into a face bore of the door panel to reside at least partially within the edge bore of the door panel. The door plug is designed to releasably engage the opening of the bracket by rotation of the door plug. The bracket is removable from the pre-hung door after the pre-hung door is installed in a rough opening.
Rear slider window assembly
A rear slider window assembly for a vehicle includes a movable window panel that is movable along channels of a fixed window panel via guide pins. A first guide pin moves along a first channel, which as a slot established therealong and therethrough. An electrical connector electrically connects electrical terminals at the fixed window panel to electrical terminals at the movable window panel, and includes a pin follower that extends through the slot of the first channel to electrically connect to a flexible cable connected to terminals at the fixed window panel and to electrical terminals at the movable window panel. The lower rail may include a water drainage element including (i) a hole established through the lower rail and (ii) a drainage receiving conduit attached at the fixed window panel beneath the hole of the lower rail and spaced from the lower rail.
Multi-piece bezel for electro-optic window assembly
A window mounting assembly includes a multi-piece bezel having a first portion having an attachment feature, and a second portion having a retention feature. The retention feature is configured to engage the attachment feature such that an inner opening is defined having an inner wall. The inner wall defines a channel. An electro-optic element is disposed in the opening and configured for reception in the channel of the inner wall.
Panel-in-panel wall system
A structural wall panel system for use in light gauge construction to form a wall with door or window openings. The system includes a structural frame defining a wall opening sized and configured to receive a wall panel. A non-structural wall panel is removably fixed within the wall opening of the structural frame. The wall panel may include at least one opening for a door or window. The wall panel is mounted within the wall opening using a plurality of catch clips. The catch clips are mounted to the structural frame and they precisely position and retain the wall panel within the wall opening of the frame.
REFRIGERATOR
Disclosed herein is a refrigerator may include a cabinet, a door which opens a front of the cabinet, a panel disposed in front of the door, and a coupling unit which couples the panel with the door. And the coupling unit may include a first adjustor provided to adjust a position of the panel in a left and right direction, a second adjustor provided to adjust a position of the panel in an up and down direction, and a third adjustor provided to adjust a position of the panel in a front and rear direction.
High Efficiency External Daylighting Devices
A external light control device for equatorially located building utilizes tilting external light shelves that are capable of tilting backward (toward the building) from a vertical orientation to reflect low am (or late pm) sun away from occupants, but are deployed at a tilt away from the building exterior to capture more sun closer to noon time. The structure preferably integrate IR rejecting coating for incident light which is re-directed by TIR surface disposed normal to the thin film layers in a multi-layer IR reflective coating. The panel may be monolithic or comprise tilting louvers, which can be metallic, dielectric, or TIR reflectors. The louvers preferably also tilt in response to the determined sun position with the panel to optimize light utilization.
Support bracket for window installation and methods of use
Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods for installing a closure assembly into a framed opening having sheathing arranged around the framed opening. The apparatuses, systems, and methods may include use of at least one support bracket along the framed opening and the sheathing.
Channel and cap extrusion system
An extrusion profile and cap system is provided. The extrusion profile may be made of metals, polymers, ceramics, and the like. The extrusion profile may include an outer perimeter forming an internal cavity. At least one channel may be formed along the outer perimeter and protruding into the internal cavity. The cap is releasably attachable to the extrusion profile and may cover at least a portion of the channel. The cap may hide bolts, screws, angle bars, wires and the like within the channel.

Securable pet door
A securable pet door is disclosed. The securable pet door may comprise at least one door, at least one knob, one or more windows, at least one frame, and/or at least one hinge. The knob may comprise a latch for secure closing. When the pet door comprises at least one hinge, the hinge(s) may be inserted into at least one hinge recess so that the door may be securely locked via at least one locking mechanism. The different elements of the securable pet door are configured to be oriented in a predetermined, securable, or customizable manner. The door is configured to open from, slide into, revolve within, or move in some other non-limiting equivalent way from or relative to the frame(s).
