A window latch for a sliding window having a sliding sash including a latch plate and a housing. The housing includes an engagement element movable relative to the housing from a locked position operatively engaged with the latch plate to an unlocked position disengaged from the latch plate. A handle is operatively coupled to the engagement element and movable from a first position to a second position in a first direction corresponding to the direction the sliding sash to which the handle is attached moves to an open position. The handle operatively moves the engagement element from the locked position to the unlocked position as the handle is moved in the first direction toward the second position.

Example aspects of a fenestration system and a method for insulating a fenestration system are disclosed. The fenestration system can comprise a frame comprising a first frame side, the first frame side comprising an interior wall, the interior wall defining a sealing slot; and a seal comprising a connector portion engaging the sealing slot and an extension portion extending from the connector portion.

A window lift assembly (3) of a motor vehicle window (5) has a window pane (4) that can be divided into a first pane region (6) and a second pane region (7) in a width direction (8) of the window pane (4). A first window lift (9) carries the window pane (4) in the first pane region (6) and a second window lift (10) carries the window pane (4) in the second pane region (7). The two window lifts (9,10) are actuable independently of each other to move the window pane (4) rectilinearly up and down, to incline the window pane (4) and/or to move the window pane (4) up and down in an inclined manner.

A panel support and panel processing system that provides a single frame assembly for use on a panel processing line in transporting and installing panels, such as glass panels, the frame assembly having a frame with at least one hook that engages a carrier on a processing line to move the frame from one station to the next, and that enables lifting and stacking of multiple frames for transport to and installation at a building site without having to remove the panel, such as a glass panel, from the frame, at which point the frame and panel assembly are secured in situ.

One illustrative kit disclosed herein includes a package and a plurality of individual sections of a moldable material positioned within the package, wherein each of the individual sections of the moldable material have an axial length. In this example, when viewed in a cross-section taken through the individual sections of moldable material in a direction transverse to the axial length, each of the individual sections of the moldable material have a non-rectangular cross-sectional configuration for at least a portion of the axial length of each of the individual sections of the moldable material.

A door assembly system including a door assembly frame and a plurality of doors, each door being movably coupled to the door assembly frame. The system further includes an electrically activatable component coupled to the door assembly frame and operatively coupled to at least one door to selectively lock or unlock the at least one door. The door assembly frame is configured to be removably attached to a storage device frame having a plurality of compartments such that each door covers one of the compartments. The electrically activatable component is configured to be operatively connected to a controller coupled to the storage device frame.

A closure assembly includes a housing, a sensor, a door, and a primary actuator. The sensor is disposed within the housing. The door is supported by the housing and is movable between a closed position and an open position. The sensor is exposed when the door is in the open position. The primary actuator is operable to (i) apply a first force on the door to move the door from the closed position to the open position and (ii) apply a second force on the door to move the door from the closed position to the open position when the first force does not move the door into the open position.

The invention relates to glazing (1) comprising a first glazing sheet (10; 10A, 10B) forming a substrate on which at least one film of an electrochemical system (12) is formed, said system having optical and/or energy-related properties that are electrically controllable, a second glazing sheet (14) forming a counter-substrate, and a third glazing sheet (18). The substrate has characteristics that allow it to be obtained by being cut from a motherboard on which motherboard at least one film or the electro-chemical system (12) is formed. The substrate is located between the counter-substrate (14) and the third glazing sheet (18) and is set back relative to the counter-substrate (14) and relative to the third glazing sheet (18) over the entire circumference of the substrate (10; 10A, 10B).
