COLLAPSIBLE DRIP COVER FOR SLIDING FENESTRATION UNIT
A drip cover for a fenestration unit. The fenestration unit includes a frame and a slideable panel supported for sliding movement within the frame. A gap is defined between the slideable panel and the frame. The drip cover includes a mounting member configured to attach to the slideable panel. The drip cover also includes an overhang that projects from the mounting member and that is configured to cover over the gap when the mounting member is attached to the slideable panel. The overhang is supported for resilient flexure relative to the mounting member between a neutral position and a flexed position. The overhang is resiliently biased toward the neutral position. The overhang, when the mounting member is attached to the slideable panel, is configured to contact a surface, thereby resiliently flexing the overhang between the neutral position and the flexed position, as the slideable panel slides relative to the surface.
Mullion joinery for window frame assembly
The disclosure relates generally to a window assembly designed to facilitate the construction process by providing a simple and efficient method for joining mullion members and frame members along a window joint. The assembly includes a mullion end cap with a seal extending around the periphery of the end cap to help minimize moisture entry into the window assembly via the window joints. In addition, the seal includes fastener bosses designed to seal against fasteners extending therethrough to help seal the joint without need for separately applying a silicone or other sealant in a post-assembly process.

WIRE REGULATOR
A task is to provide a wire regulator that can prevent a wire and a guide rail from rusting and prevent an operation failure of the wire regulator. A first rain water guide part 170 that prevents rain water from entering an ascending wire end housing part 157, a descending wire end housing part 163 and a gutter part 161 is provided at a part above a lower end of the ascending wire end housing part 157 of a slider 103, and the first rain water guide part 170 includes first eaves 171, and second eaves 173 that overlap the first eaves 171 on a lower side of the first eaves 171 and in a drop direction R of the rain water.
Panel doors and related method
A door is provided that includes a door panel having a periphery and opposite first and second panel surfaces, stiles and rails collectively surrounding the panel, and sealant. The stiles have channeled stile surfaces extending across a thickness of the stiles and facing one another. The rails have channeled rail surfaces extending across a thickness of the rails and facing one another. The channeled stile surfaces and the channeled rail surfaces include channels with open ends that receive the periphery of the panel, first grooves positioned at first interfaces of the first panel surface and first edges of the open ends of the channels, and second grooves positioned at second interfaces of the second panel surface and second edges of the open ends of the channels. The sealant is received in the first and second grooves, preferably forming a water-proof seal.

Fenestration frame with glazing stop
Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses, systems, and methods that include a fenestration unit. In certain instances, the fenestration units, and methods of re-glazing the fenestration units, described herein may be re-glazed from an interior space.
DOOR SYSTEMS
A door sill has a substrate having a recessed upward open channel formed therein, an extruded aluminum deck that at least partially receives the substrate, at least one threshold cap, an interior face cap that covers a portion of the substrate, and a lock key. A first portion of the threshold cap is coupled to the extruded aluminum deck. A second portion of the threshold cap is positioned in the recessed upward open channel adjacent a portion of the interior face cap. A portion of the lock key is press fitted intermediate the second portion of the threshold cap and the portion of the interior face cap. A seal is formed between the second portion of the threshold cap and the interior face cap. The seal is positioned proximate the inside wall of the upward open channel formed in the substrate above the bottom surface of the upward open channel.
Pressure compensated glass unit
A glass unit including a spacer, a front glass pane attached to a front side of the spacer, a back glass pane attached to a back side of the spacer, and a pressure equalization conduit defined by and within the spacer, wherein the pressure equalization conduit has a first end and a second end, wherein the pressure equalization conduit contains a desiccant and is in fluid communication with an exterior of the glass unit at a first end port adjacent to the first end and with an interior space of the glass unit at a second end port adjacent to the second end. The glass unit may further include one or more intermediate layers contained within the interior space and one or more floating suspension systems for supporting the intermediate layers.
