Fastener systems for roofing systems are disclosed for fastening a fabric, mesh, or base sheet to a roof deck prior to application of a liquid applied roof coating. The fastening assemblies may be attached to an uncleaned or unprimed roof deck and a fabric is laid atop the fasteners. The fasteners secure the fabric using mechanical binding or chemical bonding without penetrating or dimpling the fabric.

A window frame assembly for installation within a garage door having front and rear exposed surfaces and one or more window openings. The assembly includes front and rear window frame members which are installed within the door openings in the garage door. The front and rear members are brought toward each other to sandwich the borders of each of the window openings while also capturing an associated transparent pane. A series of fastening members are used to hold the front and rear frame members securely against each other. The front and rear window frame members are made of synthetic polymeric starting stock starting materials which, together with the transparent panes, are able to withstand hurricane force winds and associated blowing debris.

The invention relates to a method for producing a fiber-reinforced, polymeric continuous profiled element (1), wherein the continuous profiled element (1), having preferably at least one hollow chamber (2, 2), comprises a core profile (10) which can be produced by means of a pultrusion process, and wherein during the pultrusion process at least one continuous strand having reinforcement fibers (5) is integrated into the polymer matrix (4) of the core profile (10). According to the invention, the curing of the core profile (10) is carried out by means of a dual-cure method.

The process for the manufacture of windows/doors (1), characterized by the fact that it comprises the following steps: providing at least one inner panel (2) for windows/doors; providing a plurality of plastic profiled elements (3) for windows/doors, each of the profiled elements (3) comprising at least two areas to seal (5), coupleable to the areas to seal (5) of the other profiled elements (3), and at least one longitudinal slot (6), in which a respective perimeter side (4) of the inner panel (2) is insertable; performing a step of mechanical machining by chip removal on at least one of the areas to seal (5); heating the areas to seal (5); coupling the heated areas to seal (5) to one another by pressing the profiled elements (3) one against the other to maintain the areas to seal (5) in mutual contact and define the frame for windows/doors, the coupling taking place with the inner panel (2) inserted in the longitudinal slots (6) to define a window/door (1) which is composed by the frame and by the inner panel (2) contained in the frame.

A method for welding two hollow profiled rods made of plastic to form a window frame. The profiled rods to be joined together are heated to a predetermined temperature by inserting a welding plate between their connecting surfaces and pressing the same against the welding plate, forming outer and inner beads, and the profiled rods are pressed together under pressure after removing the welding plate, with a simultaneous increase in the size of the weld bead. For all cross sections of the profiled rods and the plastics used for manufacturing the window frames, to obtain a type of shadow groove on the top side and/or front side and on the bottom side and/or rear side of the finished window frame in the area of or near the connecting sites of the finished window frame, only the outer beads formed on the visible surface of the subsequent window frame in the area of or near the connecting sites of the two profiled rods are pressed slightly inward after removing the welding plate forming an oblique edge, and then are removed together with the inner beads, and then the connecting surfaces of the two profiled rods are joined together.

At least two profiled parts (1) are fixed to profile supports (2) that can be moved relative to each other. The profiled parts (1) are each partially melted at an end joining face (10) with a heating element (5) in a melting step and, after the heating element (5) has been removed, the partially melted joining faces (10) of the profiled parts are pressed against each other in a joining step, until the molten materials brought into contact with each other there cool down and solidify, forming a welded connection. To avoid or reduce occurrence or development of a welding bead, in a separating step that is carried out before the joining step, a mating tool (6, 29) is guided through the melt along the separating edge (9) of the limiting element (3), in order to separate the excess melt (7) that has escaped over the separating edge (9).

The machine (1) for sealing plastic profiled elements comprises: a base frame (6); a pair of retention members (7, 8), adapted to retain respective plastic profiled elements (P) having respective areas to seal (Z) with a first main edge (2a), a second main edge (3a), a first lateral edge (4a) and a second lateral edge (5a); a heat-sealing element with heated plate (11); sliding means (9, 10) of the retention members (7, 8); removing means (13, 14) adapted to remove material from the areas to seal (Z) at least at the first lateral edges (4a); lateral containment means (23, 24), which are adapted to abut on the areas to seal (Z) at the first lateral edges (4a) for the containment of a lateral sealing bead (S) and which comprise at least a V-shaped element (23) having two sides (25) arranged in a V pattern which are adapted to abut on at least a portion of respective first lateral faces (4) of the profiled elements (P).

An apparatus for manufacturing rectangular frames of plastic material includes an apparatus frame and welding heads. A material clamp cooperates with an associated frame member to hold the associated frame member in a desired location during a frame assembly operation. A heat plate is movably attached to each welding head. The heat plate can be selectively positioned to an operating position. The material clamp positions the associated frame member in close proximity to the heat plate to heat a set of ends of the associated frame member utilizing only radiation and convection of heat developed by the heat plate. The plurality of welding heads exert pressure on adjoining associated frame members after the heat plate is removed from the operating position in order to weld the adjoining associated frame members together to form a rectangular frame.

The machine (1) for sealing plastic profiled elements comprises: a base frame (6); retention means (7, 8) of at least a profiled element (P) of plastic material having a first main face (2), a second main face (3), a first lateral face (4), a second lateral face (5) and respective areas to seal (Z), the retention means (7, 8) being associated with the base frame (6) and comprising a first support element (7) movable along a first direction of sliding (A) and a second support element (8) mounted on the first support element (7) and movable relative thereto along a second direction of sliding (B); a heat-sealing element with heated plate (11), having two mutually opposite surfaces on which the areas to seal (Z) to be heated are placeable in contact; sliding means (9, 10) of the retention means (7, 8) adapted to shift the profiled elements (P) between a position of reciprocal moving away and a position of mutual approach wherein the heated areas to seal (Z) are joined together; wherein the machine (1) comprises positioning means (13, 14) associated with the support elements (7, 8) and adapted to receive a portion of one of the lateral faces (4, 5); locking means (15, 28) movably associated with the retention means (7, 8) and adapted to keep the profiled elements (P) in a locking configuration wherein one of the main faces (2, 3) is kept into contact with one of the support elements (7, 8) and one of the lateral faces (4, 5) is arranged into contact with the positioning means (13, 14), and wherein the locking means (15, 28) prevent the profiled elements (P) from rotating around the longitudinal axis of the profiled elements themselves.
