A kit for a frame assembly is disclosed. The kit comprises a first frame member, a second frame member, and a first and second counterpart of a corner connector. The first and second counterparts are co-operatively configured for connecting to obtain the corner connector. The first counterpart, the second counterpart, the first frame member, and the second frame member are co-operatively configured for assembly to define the frame assembly. The first frame member is coupled to the second frame member via the obtained corner connector. The corner connector is connected to the first frame member along a first side of the first frame member and is also connected along a second side of the first frame member, and the corner connector is connected to the second frame member along a first side of the second frame member and is also connected along a second side of the second frame member.

A framed assembly includes a first frame member providing an inner vertical wall extending between opposing front and back surfaces and defining a slot, and a second frame member positioned adjacent the first frame member at a corner joint and providing a horizontal wall extending between opposing front and back surfaces of the second frame member. A clip having opposing front and back sides provides a backing plate extending from the back side and a projection extending from the front side. The backing plate is received within an interior of the first frame member via the slot, and the projection is received within an interior of the second frame member adjacent the horizontal wall.

A frame assembly supporting an overhead door has a horizontal header connected to upright columns or posts with splice assemblies. Fasteners mounted on the columns cooperate with retainers on the splice assemblies to position and connect the columns to the header. Hinge assemblies pivotally mount the door on the header for movement between open and closed positions.

Examples of glass adjustment assemblies arc described. An example glass adjustment assembly includes a locking member and a clamp that includes a base member with side extensions on either side. The example glass adjustment assembly also includes a horizontal connection member. The side extensions of the clamp are to be slidably mounted to the horizontal connection member. The locking member is to be variably attached to the horizontal connection member. The variable attachment is to apply controlled pressure on the base member of the clamp which is transmitted to a glass panel through an adhesive tape. The pressure applied to the glass panel may generate tension in a frame structure, which reduces sag and allows for thin members of the frame structure. In some examples, external hardware can attach to the vertical and/or horizontal connection members.

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 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.

Joint for the angular connection of a pair of hollow profile members (50) having an angular configuration corresponding to the angle of the assembled profile members (50) and comprising a slide base portion (2, 2, 2), a sheet metal portion (1, 1) superimposed thereupon and a bolt (5) passing through the sheet metal portion (1, 1) and screwed into a nut (4) mounted onto the base portion (2, 2, 2), wherein tightening of bolt (5) pushes upwardly extending surfaces on either side of portion (1, 1) whereby their sharp edges indent the walls of the hollow profile members being connected. The indentation and efficient angular connection of the hollow profile members is enhanced through: a) forming of the sharp edges of the sheet metal to align an aberrant edge thereof in an indentation appropriate direction, b) appropriately orienting the sheet metal portion (1, 1) to comply with a set of predetermined geometrical parameters and c) selectively employing varying embodiments of the slide base portion to obtain rapprochement of the points of indentation of the walls being indented.

Windows and secure corner assemblies are generally described. The windows may include a sash having stiles arranged on vertical sides thereof and rails arranged on horizontal sides thereof. Primary reinforcement members may be arranged within the stiles. Secure corner assemblies may be configured to be arranged within corners of the sash formed by intersections of the stiles and the rails. The secure corner assemblies may include at least one secondary reinforcement member arranged on an external surface of one of the rails, such as a top rail. A tilt mechanism may be configured to be coupled to a primary reinforcement member and the at least one secondary reinforcement member, thereby providing a continuous reinforcement connection around the window sash. Vinyl windows using corner assemblies according to some embodiments may have increased pressure ratings compared to vinyl windows that do not include such corner assemblies.
