This invention is directed toward a window for a garage door panel, where the window has an opening that is surrounded by a body portion, and can be manufactured as part of the manufacture of a garage door panel, or retrofitted into an existing garage door panel. The window has a sliding door that can be slid open to allow for air ventilation, and has bars so that pets cannot escape through the window when it is open, and some combination of a sliding screen and optional security bars to keep insects out and keep pets in the garage. The optional security bars can be bolted or otherwise attached to the panel, thereby not only strengthening the panel but also making it harder for pets to escape and any burglars to enter.

The present embodiment relates to a refrigerator comprising: a cabinet forming a storage space; a door for opening and closing the storage space and provided with a receiving space; a see-through portion extending through the door and communicating with the receiving space; a door light for illuminating a rear space of the door; a transparent panel assembly for shielding the see-through portion and becoming transparent or opaque so as to selectively visualize the see-through portion according to On/Off states of the door light; and a heat insulating member, formed along a perimeter of the transparent panel assembly, for insulating a perimeter portion of the transparent panel assembly.

A spin window (100) can include an integrated camera (108) and a rotatable window (106) in a single integrated or modular unit. The spin window can include a stationary outer rim (120), a motor (138), a central hub (104) to couple the rotatable window to the motor, and a rotatable outer rim coupled to the rotatable window. The camera can be positioned behind the rotatable window so that it is protected from debris cast against the spin window. The spin window can be positioned within a machine tool safety enclosure.

An arrangement for flush-mounting an insulated glass unit (IG) in a door opening may include at least one frame member configured to be positioned between the door skins along at least one edge of the door opening, and at least one glazing strip having body with a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface and a flange extending away from the body at an acute angle relative to the top surface. With the IG positioned in the door opening and supported along one outer IG panel adjacent to one door skin, the flange is inserted into an opening or channel in the at least one frame member to bring the top surface of the body flush with the other door skin and to bring the bottom surface of the body into contact with an opposite outer IG panel to retain the IG in the opening.

A refrigerator includes: a cabinet forming a storage space; a door for opening and closing the storage space and provided with a receiving space; a see-through portion extending through the door and communicating with the receiving space; a door light for illuminating a rear space of the door; a transparent panel assembly for shielding the see-through portion and becoming transparent or opaque so as to selectively visualize the see-through portion according to On/Off states of the door light; and a heat insulating member, formed along a perimeter of the transparent panel assembly, for insulating a perimeter portion of the transparent panel assembly.

The door viewport with cross-door locking bar laterally spans the door frame with a viewport exterior lip on the door and an interior face plate near an interior of the door forming, in one instance, a mid-bar capture channel. Alternatively, the viewport has an interior extension coacting with a complementary interlocking element on the cross-bar's midpoint. Either construct holds the cross-door locking bar substantially at its mid-point. Cross-bar terminal end mounts removably attach the cross-bar to the door frame. One type of mount is an L-bracket. Another type of mount is a controllable transverse extension member forcing a door frame plate against the door frame. A user-controlled extension means forces the cross-door locking bar away from the door frame plate, with either a screw drive system or a grooved rod with spring loaded lever control.
