A window reveal kit can include a window, a first connector, and at least one reveal trim. The window has an outer side, an inner side, and a frame portion about a perimeter of the window. The first connector can be formed on the frame portion, on the inner side of the window. The at least one reveal trim can have a second connector that is configured to engage the first connector so that the reveal trim extends from the first connector.

The present disclosure provides a frame component for a window or door that employs composite materials in a manner that is sufficiently structurally strong yet resists degradation due to unfavorable environmental conditions. In at least one embodiment the present disclosure provides a mullion for a frame for an opening having a core assembly having a longitudinally extending core and at least one end block, a first surface of the end block abutting a first end of the longitudinally extending core to result in the core assembly having a radial surface extending radially about the core assembly; and a longitudinally extending outer sheath, the longitudinally extending outer sheath enveloping the radial surface of the core assembly, an inner surface of the longitudinally extending outer sheath bonded to the radial surface of the core assembly in a continuous manner.

A component adapted to form a portion of a frame (e.g., a sill), door, trim piece, or the like. The component having a body comprised of at least one interior hollow portion that forms an opening at a first end of body, wherein the at least one interior hollow portion has a closed end such that water is prevented from traveling from a second end through the at least one interior hollow portion to the first end. A related method of manufacturing the component such as by injection molding, 3D printing, or multi-step extrusion is also provided.

A window reveal kit can include a window, a first connector, and at least one reveal trim. The window has an outer side, an inner side, and a frame portion about a perimeter of the window. The first connector can be formed on the frame portion, on the inner side of the window. The at least one reveal trim can have a second connector that is configured to engage the first connector so that the reveal trim extends from the first connector.

A frame assembly for a doorway defined by two substantially vertical sides and a substantially horizontal side comprises a header jamb having a top surface, a bottom surface, and one or two header jamb rebates. The top surface of the head jamb is adapted for fixedly mounting to the substantially horizontal side of the doorway and the header jamb rebates located on the bottom surface across the length of the header jamb define a header soffit. The frame assembly comprises two upright jambs each having an outer surface and a top end. The outer surface of each of the upright jambs is adapted for fixedly mounting to one of the two substantially vertical sides of the doorway. The top end of each of the upright jambs have a slot for receiving a portion of the header soffit such that, when assembled, the header soffit engages in the slots.

An apparatus for disposing of trash, including garbage and recyclables, through a pair of adjacent trash removal windows separated by a spacer into separate outdoor trash containers without having to leave a building. Each of the pair of trash removal windows are independently raised respective one of the trash containers simultaneously with the lid of a trash container so a user can dispose of trash through the opened window into the trash container. When the window is closed the lid of the trash container is closed at the same time.

A device for welding profiled elements in plastic material includes: a base frame supporting retaining members of respective profiled elements, to engage the profiled elements with corresponding zones to be welded facing one another; a heater for heating the weld zones of the profiled elements; a unit to move the retaining members, to shift the profiled elements between a first reciprocal away direction and a second reciprocal closer direction wherein the zones to be welded are coupled together; and a removal unit utilizing milling The removal unit includes: a supporting frame positioned in correspondence to the retaining members; at least one machining tool; a motor part associated with the tool; and a movement member of the tool, to move it between a first idle condition and a second working condition wherein it is placed between the profiled elements.
