A cornerlock is used with a frame assembly which includes first and second frame members each having a plurality of walls extending between first and second ends. Each of the first and second frame members define an interior with the cornerlock extending into the interiors. An article is coupled to the first and second frame members. The cornerlock includes a first body member configured to mate with the interior of the first frame member and a second body member configured to mate with the interior of the second frame member. Each of the body members has a hinge end and are rotatably coupled together at the hinge ends. A collar defines a hole with at least one of the first and second body members extending through the hole such that the collar is disposed substantially at the hinge end for engaging each of the first and second frame members.

A door frame and a door frame component thereof. The door frame component includes an elongate body having first and second opposite sides which are structurally distinct from one another; the first side having a door stop which comprises an abutment for engaging by a door; the second side being configured for engaging a wall; and a third side extending across the first and second sides, wherein, a decorative portion is integrally formed on the third side, which extends beyond the second side in a direction away from the door stop such that the decorative portion and the second side embraces adjoining sides of said wall structure.

A modular glass door assembly includes a door, an inner frame, and an outer frame. The door has a glass door leaf and a doorframe mounted to the outer periphery of the glass door leaf. The inner frame is attached to the outer periphery of the doorframe and connected to the doorframe by two hinges up and down. The outer frame has four frame strips arranged around the outer periphery of the inner frame and each provided with a concave portion engaged with one respective convex portion of the inner frame. By this way, the inner frame and the outer frame can be directly assembled with each other or a fixed window panel can be added between the inner frame and the outer frame. Thus, the modular glass door assembly of the present invention has advantages of easy assembly and high scalability.

Disclosed is a pane unit (10), which comprises a frame structure (12) formed from a plurality of profiles (14), at least two outer panes (16, 16′), and at least one middle pane (18). The panes are each connected or attached to the frame structure (12). The pane unit (10) moreover comprises at least one functional element (20) used for the illumination of the at least one middle pane (18), which functional element (20) is inserted into at least one chamber (24) provided in the profiles (14). The plurality of profiles (14) are coupled with each other by means of at least one connection element (28), wherein the at least one connection element (28) engages with the profiles (14) in such a manner that the pane unit (10) is hermetically sealed.

A polymer window assembly includes a polymer window frame with a pair of jambs and a sill, and a glass unit carried by the window frame. A pair of brackets are attached to the jambs proximate corners between the jambs and the sill. Each bracket has an upright member, a horizontal member orthogonal to the upright member and a hook attached to a rear surface of the upright member. The brackets attach to the jambs so that the hook extends through a hole in the jamb, the upright member is adjacent a surface of the jamb and the horizontal member is disposed above (e.g., spaced above) the sill. The brackets support and transfer the weight of the glass unit to the jambs to inhibit (e.g., prevent) the sill from bearing the load of the glass unit, thereby inhibiting (e.g., preventing) the crushing or bowing of the sill by the glass unit and thereby inhibiting (e.g., preventing) the formation of gaps in the window assembly that allow for air and/or water infiltration through the window assembly.

A connecting element for connecting at least two profile elements, wherein the connecting element is rotatable about an axis of rotation to produce a clamping force, wherein the connecting element has at least one first connecting section and at least one second connecting section, which are each designed to be received in one of the profile elements, wherein the first connecting section has at least one first clamping face, wherein the at least one first clamping face has a predetermined clamping contour, wherein the second connecting section has at least one second clamping face, wherein the first clamping face faces the second connecting section and the second clamping face faces the first connecting section, wherein the first connecting section and the second connecting section are formed such that the profile elements connected by the connecting element extend obliquely relative to each other or crosswise.

A method of connecting hollow elongate members 12 which may be window frame members. The method comprising locating a plastics material insert 16 extending outwardly for a short distance from each hollow member 12, heating the inserts, and bringing the hollow members together such that the heated inserts 16 fuse together to connect the hollow members 12.

Disclosed are a built-in transfer hinge, a side hung door-window mounted with the built-in transfer hinge, a mounting method thereof, a horizontal pivoting window mounted with the built-in transfer hinge, and a mounting method for a hardware hinge therein. The built-in transfer hinge includes a frame connecting block, a sash connecting block, a hinge body (12), a two-link rod (13), a three-link rod (14), and a clutch rod (15). The two-link rod (13) and the three-link rod (14) are connected to the frame connecting block. One end of the hinge body (12) is connected to the two-link rod (13), the middle of the hinge body (12) is connected to the three-link rod (14), and the other end of the hinge body (12) is connected to the sash connecting block. The clutch rod (15) is connected between the sash connecting block and the three-link rod (14).
