A molding assembly for establishing an electrical connection between an electrified planar element, which is formed with a peripheral electrical contact, and an electrical device includes a plastic frame element having an electrical conductor. The plastic frame element is adapted to be disposed along a peripheral portion of the electrified planar element that includes the peripheral contact. The plastic frame element extends between two ends. The electrical conductor extends between the two ends of the plastic frame element on a side facing the electrified planar element so that, during attachment of the plastic frame element to the peripheral portion, an electrical connection is automatically establishable between the electrical conductor and the peripheral contact.

A roller carriage for the reception of a sliding door includes a roller module for the displaceable affixing at a roller running path and a basic body for the attachment to the sliding door. The roller module is configured of a first material and the basic body of a second material. The first material conducts structure-borne sound in a first sound conducting range and dampens the structure-borne sound in a second sound conducting range. The second material dampens structure-borne sound in the first sound conducting range and conducts structure-borne sound in the second sound conducting range.

An insulating glazing unit, includes at least two glass panes and a circumferential spacer profile between the at least two glass panes near edges of the at least two glass panes, for use in a window, a door, or a façade glazing, which has in each case an electrically conductive frame surrounding the edges of the insulating glazing, wherein at least one RFID transponder is attached to the insulating glazing unit as an identification element, and wherein the at least one RFID transponder is arranged at a corner of the insulating glazing unit, and wherein an end of the at least one RFID transponder pointing toward the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit is not more than 30 cm from the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for constructing and installing architectural walls that are secured to a floor and/or a ceiling and that that include an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism may allow the architectural wall to be selectively adjusted horizontally relative to the floor and/or ceiling so that a vertical positioning of the wall may be achieved. The adjustment mechanism may also allow the architectural wall to fit securely to a floor and/or ceiling.

A window glazing system includes an elongate elastomeric element having a right triangular cross section defining two leg surfaces and a hypotenuse surface with chamfers on the legs at the hypotenuse. A window pane is placed in a window frame and the interior frame and the window pane are appropriately coated with construction adhesive. The legs of the elongate element are forced into the intersection of the pane and the interior frame to spread and to be retained by the adhesive. The adhesive is then additionally forced into the chamfers and the entire assembly cleaned with solvent.

A window assembly for installing in a window framing (also referred to as a “window casing”) of a wall of a building. The window assembly is configured to have a frameless appearance when installed with the finish surround installed around the interior and/or exterior of the window. The window assembly also allows the glass panel to be removed with a minimum of removal of the finish surround, such as without removing any of the finish surround, or only removing the finish surround around several sides of the only one of the interior or exterior of the window. For example, in most cases, only the interior finish surround around the right side and left side of the installed window frame needs to be removed to remove and replace the glass panel. Furthermore, the window assembly includes an integrated drain for draining moisture which leaks into the window assembly.

A stile and rail ballistic security door containing bullet proof materials within a metal or synthetic material frame including a plurality of window panes and thermal break means to eliminate condensation problems therein. The door contains a multi-layer exterior core providing extra strength and rigidity.

A retention system may comprise a bracket, a bar system, a seal and a bonded washer. The bracket may have a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the second portion may be operatively coupled together at an angle θ. The bracket may also have a texture. The bracket may define a mounting surface. The bar system may comprise a bar installable in the bracket. The seal may be installable in the bracket and disposed beneath the mounting surface. The bonded washer may be installable on and compressible against the mounting surface.

A spacer for insulated glazing units having at least one polymeric main body with a wall thickness d having a first pane contact surface and a second pane contact surface running parallel thereto, one first glazing interior surface, one second glazing interior surface, one outer surface, one first hollow chamber, and one second hollow chamber. A groove for receiving a pane runs parallel to the first pane contact surface and the second pane contact surface between the first glazing interior surface and the second glazing interior surface. The first hollow chamber adjoins the first glazing interior surface and the second hollow chamber adjoins the second glazing interior surface. The lateral flanks of the groove are formed by the walls of the first hollow chamber and the second hollow chamber, and the wall thickness d′ in the region of the lateral flanks is less than the wall thickness d of the polymeric main body.

A fenestration opening is provided with opposing receptors on opposite sides of the fenestration opening. Each of the receptors is configured to capture and opposing end of a glazed panel with a capture feature or features on each receptor that hold the respective end of the glazed panel from moving laterally, in or out of the fenestration opening. The glazed panel is installed by angling the glazed panel with respect to the fenestration opening and inserting one end of the glazed panel into engagement with one of the receptors, then moving the opposite end of the glazed panel so that the panel is aligned between the receptors, and then moving the panel so that the opposite end of the receptor is captured by the opposite receptor.
