Provided is a protective cover for a weighing instrument in which movement of a sliding door does not degrade over time. A protective cover (2) for a weighing instrument includes sliding doors (2L, 2R) defining a weighing chamber (5), an upper frame (11) formed at an upper edge of the sliding door, a lower frame (12) formed at a lower edge of the sliding door, an upper guide rail (17) disposed on the upper frame, and a lower guide rail (18) disposed under the lower frame, where the upper guide rail suspends the upper frame, and between the upper guide rail and the upper frame, balls (215) are disposed at a plurality of positions in a moving direction of the sliding door.

A frame assembly, for use in window and door applications configured to retain a panel, comprising a frame with a cover assembly and a support assembly having a track assembly, and a sill assembly and a header assembly both interconnected to a securing surface. The cover assembly is interconnected to the support assembly. The sill assembly comprises a roller member disposed in supporting relation to the track assembly, and the header assembly is disposed in supporting relation to the support assembly so that the frame is movable relative to both the header assembly and the sill assembly. At least a portion of the frame comprises a predetermined thickness and a predetermined width. The predetermined thickness is substantially less than the predetermined width so that both cooperatively and concurrently enhance viewing through the panel and the frame's stability.

A building component includes a frame including a first material and cladding connected to the frame. The building component also includes a thermal break defined by the frame intermediate a first side and a second side of the building component and an insulating material within the thermal break. The building component further includes an insulated glass unit including a first glass pane and a second glass pane spaced from the first glass pane. The first glass pane and the second glass pane define a pocket therebetween. The thermal break and the pocket define a continuous thermal break when the building component is in a closed position.

A sliding door assembly includes a door frame with a top trim member, a bottom sill, and side jambs connected between the top trim member and the bottom sill, and a primary sliding panel secured in the door frame. The top trim member includes a track configured to support a weight of the primary sliding panel and prevent the primary sliding panel from coming off the track. Other features include an interlock mechanism to limit relative movement using multiple sliding doors and a brake mechanism to secure the doors in position when the door handle is released. A drop window includes features to accommodate for manufacturing tolerances and box frame assemblies that are out of square.

A building component includes a first glass pane connected to a second glass pane to form an insulated glass unit. The first glass pane and the second glass pane define a pocket therebetween. The insulated glass unit is positioned in a frame. The building component includes an insulating material in the middle portion of the frame. The insulating material defines a continuous frame thermal break extending through the frame. The frame thermal break is aligned with the pocket. The frame thermal break has a width of at least 1 inch. The pocket has a width that is less than the width of the frame thermal break.

The present disclosure concerns a foundation window assembly comprising a window frame comprising a plurality of frame members, and at least one casing connector arranged on at least one of said plurality of frame members; and a window casing comprising a plurality of casing members defining together a frame-receiving opening, wherein at least one of said plurality of casing members defines a frame-abutting shoulder at least partially delimited by a casing flange portion and a frame-engaging portion. A frame-engaging recess is formed in the frame-engaging portion, the frame-engaging recess at least partially circumscribing the frame-receiving opening, the casing connector being removably engageable into the frame-engaging recess when the window frame is inserted into the frame-receiving opening. The present disclosure also concerns a method for installing a foundation window frame into a foundation wall.

A door system includes a track spanning a doorway defined by a trailing jamb and an opposing lead jamb, a sidelite panel coupled to the trailing jamb by a swing clear hinge, and first and second slide panels moveable within the track. The trailing jamb includes a jamb face facing in a first direction. The swing clear hinge includes a fixed portion engaged with a revolving portion. The fixed portion is offset from the jamb face in a second direction and secured by a jamb attachment member to the jamb face. The first and second slide panels have an open configuration in the track with the revolving portion offset from the jamb face in the second direction. The panels are configured to pivot out of the track into a breakout configuration. The sidelite panel is offset from the jamb face in the second direction in the breakout configuration.

A combination door assembly includes a frame that may be coupled to a wall of a building. A door is hingedly coupled to the frame such that the door is positionable between an open position and a closed position. The door comprises a first half that is slidably coupled to a second half. The second half is positionable in an open position when the door is positioned in the closed position. Thus, the second half is configured to allow egress and entry to the building when the door is in the closed position.

A building component includes an insulated glass unit including a first glass pane and a second glass pane defining a pocket therebetween, and a frame supporting the insulated glass unit. A central plane extends through the pocket and is spaced equal distances from the first glass pane and the second glass pane. The building component further includes an insulating material in the middle portion of the frame. The insulating material defines a continuous frame thermal break circumscribing the insulated glass unit and extending through the frame. The central plane extends through a center of the frame thermal break and forms a common central plane of the building component with substantially equal portions of the frame thermal break extending on each side of the common central plane when the building component is in a closed position.

A frame assembly, for use in window and door applications configured to retain a panel, comprising a frame with a cover assembly and a support assembly having a track assembly, and a sill assembly and a header assembly both interconnected to a securing surface. The cover assembly is interconnected to the support assembly. The sill assembly comprises a roller member disposed in supporting relation to the track assembly, and the header assembly is disposed in supporting relation to the support assembly so that the frame is movable relative to both the header assembly and the sill assembly. At least a portion of the frame comprises a predetermined thickness and a predetermined width. The predetermined thickness is substantially less than the predetermined width so that both cooperatively and concurrently enhance viewing through the panel and the frame's stability.
