There is provided a kit of parts configurable for assembly within a window assembly, that defines a window opening, and includes a frame and a sash, wherein the sash is slidably mounted relative to the frame for slidable movement relative to the frame from a first position to a second position, wherein the kit comprises a frame member of the above-described frame, a sash member of the above-described sash; wherein: the frame member defines a retainer; and the frame, the retainer, and the sash are co-operatively configured such that, while the sash is disposed relative to the frame in the first position, the retainer is interfering with movement of the sash member in an inwardly direction, and while the sash is disposed relative to the frame in the second position, there is an absence of interference to movement of the sash member in the inwardly direction. There is also provided a window construction obtainable from assembly of at least the parts of the kit of parts.

A movable partition system includes a movable partition, a floating jamb attached to an end of the movable partition and located within a pocket configured to retain the movable partition when in a retracted position, at least two base plates attached to the floating jamb, and at least two jamb stops attached to opposing interior walls of the pocket. Each of the at least two jamb stops are configured to engage a respective base plate of the floating jamb, wherein the floating jamb, the at least two base plates, and the at least two jamb stops are configured such that disengaging the floating jamb from a secure position within the pocket when the movable partition is in an extended position requires disengaging one of the at least two jamb stops from the respective base plate on each side of the movable partition. Methods of providing a security barrier are disclosed.

An enclosed space is provided that includes a ceiling, base structure, a plurality of walls, at least one sliding door, a controller, an input air fan and an air outlet. The height and inclination of the base structure are adjustable. The base structure has a first profile; a second profile; and one or more bolts for arranging a tilting angle between the first profile and the second profile. At least one of the walls include an opening for accessing the enclosed space. The door includes two parallel glass panels. The input air fan includes an air filter and the air outlet includes a flow meter configured to provide flow information to the controller.

A sliding door or panel system is provided. The system can have a roller assembly that is mounted onto a sill. The system can have a moveable door or panel with a blade extending from a bottom rail of the door or panel. The blade can rest on the rollers and the rollers facilitate the door or panel moving longitudinally along the sill. The sill can be installed below a top surface of a floor, making the system less visible. The system can include a brush insert that protects against debris entering the sill. The brush insert can be removed from the sill to allow access to the rollers.

A fenestration system may comprise a closure element, such as a door or window. The closure element is movable relative to a frame between open and closed positions. The frame surrounds a fenestration opening, such as a doorway. The fenestration system may also comprise a carrier mounted to the closure element and movable relative to the closure element between extended and retracted positions. A weather strip is attached to the carrier and arranged to contact the frame in the extended position of the carrier. One or more retraction magnets may be arranged to exert a first magnetic force on the carrier to move the carrier into the retracted position in the open position of the closure element. One or more extension magnets may be arranged to exert a second magnetic force on the carrier to move the carrier into the extended position in the closed position of the closure element.

A customizable storm protection system for protection and aesthetics comprises a first jamb, a second jamb, a header, and a sill, each with a glazing recess, and each with a receptacle for inserting a screw boss that runs a length of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill, wherein joined define a frame for the opening in a building. A customizable storm protection system may further comprise glazing received by the glazing recess of each of the first jamb, the second jamb, the header, and the sill. A customizable storm protection system may further comprise a storm track configured to the frame to, wherein the storm track identifies fastener locations for the screw boss within the frame, and wherein the storm track comprises a cap, a stanchion, and an attachment layer for attachment to the frame. The system enables different openings in a building to be individually customized for different types of storm protection while maintaining a uniform exterior appearance.

The present invention relates to a movable wall storage device comprised of a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, a floor and a roof. The bottom edges of the roof are further comprised of a track that receives a roller located on the top edges of the first and second side walls. In this manner, the side walls can be slid along the track to expose the interior surface of the device. The device may also be comprised of a movable sub-floor that slides outwards from the interior space. Both the sub-floor and the sidewalls allow a user to easily place or remove large items into the interior space of the device, without having to step into the interior space or struggle to move the item through a door or other similar structure.

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 rain deflector apparatus provides a declined body surface to deflect water away from a sliding glass door (or similar structure) and a one or more compliant portion in order to prevent water and debris from collecting in the track and making its way under the door. In a preferred embodiment, the rain deflector apparatus is secured to the door or door track by a one or more attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism(s) is/are selected such that their holding force to the track or other structure is sufficient to keep the upper edge of the apparatus pressed up against the glass and the lower edge in sealed relation to the track or floor.

Exemplary implementations of a thermally-efficient slidable fenestration assembly are glass window systems or glass door systems having one or more sliding glass panels. The fenestration assemblies are adapted to be mounted in an architectural structure such as a building or house. Accessory channels in the fenestration framework may be provided to facilitate nail-fin, retro-fit or screen adaptors as means to attach the assembly to the surrounding architecture. Stiles, tracks and rails of the assembly are specifically configured to reduce heat transfer across the fenestration assembly, while simultaneously maintaining the structural integrity and durability of the overall assembly. Certain stile, track and rail components may comprise materials of relatively low conductivities. Preferred stile configurations include interlock elements arranged to reduce the assembly's vulnerability to tampering from a position outside of the fenestration.
