A horizontally sliding window can block a draft, rainwater, dust, and noise from being introduced through a gap between a window casing and a window while the window is closed, thereby improving indoor heat insulating and soundproof functions of the window. A horizontally sliding window includes a square frame-shaped window casing having a transverse frame and a longitudinal frame assembled therein and a window disposed on an inner side of the window casing. Moving frames are respectively interposed between the transverse frame and an upper end portion of the window and between the transverse frame and a lower end portion of the window, each including first and second cover members extending from opposite sides thereof to cover indoor and outdoor sides of the transverse frame, respectively, and having a roller rotatably coupled between the first and second cover members so as to operate in contact with the transverse frame.

A door panel is included in a nacelle assembly for use with a gas turbine engine to block and allow access selectively to the gas turbine engine. The nacelle assembly includes a nacelle wall, a sleeve, and the door panel. The nacelle wall is arranged at least partway around the gas turbine engine and formed to define an opening that extends through the nacelle wall. The door panel is located in the opening and movable relative to the nacelle wall. The sleeve is coupled with one of the nacelle wall and the door panel and configured to move relative to the nacelle wall or the door panel toward and away from the other of the nacelle wall and door panel to adjust a size of a gap between the door panel and the nacelle wall.

Disclosed is a sliding door or window. The sliding door or window includes a door/window frame, a swing fastening mechanism is disposed at a lower end of a side of the door/window frame, and a locking structure is mounted on an upper end of the side of the door/window frame. The swing fastening mechanism and the locking structure are each provided with a snakelike groove inside which a shaft operative to slide along a groove orientation is arranged. A handle disposed on the door/window frame is operative to drive the shaft to slide in the snakelike groove, thereby forcing the swing fastening mechanism or/and the locking structure to swing.

A weather strip assembly for applying to opposite swing doors configured such that a front end portion of a front door and a rear end portion of a rear door of the opposite swing doors are rotatably connected to a vehicle body respectively to allow sides of a vehicle to be open or closed and airtightly sealing a rear end portion of the front door and a front end portion of the rear door, may include a main sealing member mounted to rotate between the rear end portion of the front door and the front end portion of the rear door to airtightly seal between the rear end portion of the front door and the front end portion of the rear door while rotating when one of the front and rear doors is opened or closed.

The present disclosure relates to an air tight door including a frame having three frame members disposed, respectively, at a first lateral side, a second lateral side, and an upper side of an opening; and a longitudinal member disposed at a lower side of the opening. The door is rotatably connected to the frame member disposed at the first lateral side of the opening so as to open and/or close the opening. A first sealing disposed at each of the three frame members closely contacts the door in a closed state; and a second sealing elevatably disposed at a lower end of the door descends from the lower end of the door to closely contact the longitudinal member in the closed state. A locking device fixes a position of the door in the closed state; and an actuating device is configured to unlock the locking device.

A sealing system for a storage enclosure is disclosed. The sealing system includes a sealing member having a first sealing portion, and a second sealing portion that extends from the first sealing portion. The second sealing portion including a first leg and a second leg. The first leg extends from the first sealing portion at a first angle, and the second leg extends from the first sealing portion at a second angle. The second angle is larger than the first angle.

The present invention reduces leakage of water into an automotive vehicle, regardless of an inclination at which the automotive vehicle is parked and/or a volume of water. A sealing member of a sliding door in accordance with the present invention includes: a first inner wall (21); a first curved wall (22); a connection wall (24) connecting between the first inner wall (21) and the first curved wall (22); and a first water-conveying part (8) provided on a vehicle-exterior side surface of the first inner wall (21), the connection wall (24) having a hole (h1) at a position opposed to a front tip of the first water-conveying part (8), the hole (h1) being formed so as to lead to a hollow part (25), the water received by the first water-conveying part (8) flowing into the hollow part (25) through the hole (h1).

A method of making a composite pipe has the steps of (a) providing one or more sources of composite tape, the composite tape being formed of reinforcing fibres embedded in a thermoplastic matrix; (b) helically winding the composite tape(s) around a cylinder under the application of heat to form a pipe comprising fused, concentric layers of adjacently positioned, helically-wound composite tape; (c) scanning a region where edges of wound composite tape are expected to be, to generate scanning information; (d) controlling the gap between further adjacent windings by (1) using the scanning information to determine wound composite tape edge position(s), and (2) using the determined wound composite tape edge position(s) to adjust the winding process during winding; (e) repeating steps (c) and (d). The invention also relates to a corresponding apparatus for making a composite pipe.
