A window system for a building includes a panel and a first element assembly that supports the panel and includes a cross member and a pressure plate laterally offset from the cross member. A glazing pocket is defined between the cross member and the pressure plate, and a thermal separator is positioned within the glazing pocket and extends between the pressure plate and the cross member. The thermal separator includes a tongue extension and a rod gasket seals an interface between the tongue extension and the cross member.

A structural assembly for a frame includes a first rail, a second rail, a third rail, a fourth rail, a first pivotable bracket member coupling the first and second rails, and a second pivotable bracket member coupling the third and fourth rails. The first rail includes a first end, a second end, and a first groove extending a distance between the first end and the second end thereof. The second rail includes a first end, a second end, and a second groove extending a distance between the first end and the second end thereof. The third rail includes a first end, a second end, and a third groove extending a distance between the first end and the second end thereof. The fourth rail includes a first end, a second end, and a fourth groove extending a distance between the first end and the second end thereof.

An apparatus for enclosing a storage area of a vehicle is described. A first door encloses a first portion of one side of the storage area. A second door encloses a second portion of the one side of the storage area. A first pair of hinges is associated with the first door. Each of the first pair of hinges are located at opposite ends of a first edge of the first door and enable the first door to move between an open position and a closed position with respect to the first portion of the storage area. A second pair of hinges is associated with the second door. Each of the second pair of hinges are located at opposite ends of a first edge of the second door and enable the second door to move between an open position and a closed position with respect to the second portion of the storage area. A first pair of latches associated with the first door latch the first door into the closed position. A second pair of latches associated with the second door latch the second door into the closed position. A first latching lever releases the first pair of latches latching the first door into the closed position and a second latching lever releases the second pair of latches latching the second door into the closed position.

Provided is a window system including a first window that extends in a first direction, and that partially overlaps a second window in the first direction. The second window extends in the first direction, and is offset from the first window in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction. The window system includes a connector that is configured to connect the first window and the second window, and that is disposed in an area between the first window and the second window in the second direction and where the first window partially overlaps the second window in the first direction.

An intruder resistant screen providing improved strength. The improved intruder resistant screen comprises a frame, a woven wire intruder resistant mesh covering an opening enclosed by the frame, a plurality of clamp elements engaging with frame members to hold the mesh by a leveraged clamping action and at least one fastener holding each clamping member to the frame member. Each fastener has a drilling portion, a shank portion, a head and a thread. The frame comprises multiple frame members joined by corner stakes and there are two or more clamp elements engaging each frame member.
