Adhesive joining and reinforcement of glass packets in sash profiles
A wing profile has a glass package including several glass plates, wherein the wing profile has a reinforcement element made of plastic, which substantially is mounted on the wing profile below the entire support surface of the glass package. Between the reinforcement element and the glass package, a cohesive connection is provided by a plurality of adhesive elements.
SASH TILT BOLT AND CHECKRAIL BRACKET SYSTEMS FOR COASTAL IMPACT RESISTANT FENESTRATIONS
Embodiments herein relate to fenestrations, such as windows and doors, exhibiting coastal impact performance. In a first aspect, an impact-resistant fenestration unit can be included having a frame and a bottom sash. The bottom sash can have a bottom rail, a check rail, and opposed stiles and can be configured to pivot inward away from the frame assembly such that the check rail moves away from the frame assembly. A first side bracket can define a cavity to receive a portion of a bolt from a sash tilt bolt assembly. The first side bracket can be mounted on one of the two opposed side jambs at a height corresponding to a position of the check rail when the bottom sash can be in a closed position. The bolt can include a metal inner support member and a polymeric overmold portion. Other embodiments are also included herein.
COASTAL IMPACT RESISTANT FENESTRATIONS INCLUDING CORNER KEY WITH OVERLAP GEOMETRY
Embodiments herein relate to fenestrations, such as windows and doors, exhibiting coastal impact performance. In a first aspect, an impact-resistant fenestration unit can be included having a frame assembly including a sill, a head jamb, and two opposed side jambs. A bottom sash can be included having a bottom rail, a check rail, and two opposed stiles. A first corner key can be configured to engage the bottom sash at a first lower corner. The first corner key can include a support arm extending in a first direction onto or into a first stile of the two opposed stiles. A first reinforcement member disposed on or within the first stile. The first reinforcement member can include a first end and a second end. The first end can overlap a portion of the support arm of the first corner key. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Manufacturing method of resin frame
A resin frame includes frame members combined into a frame shape that includes a corner portion, and a joint portion joining a pair of the frame members which are adjacent to each other at the corner portion. The joint portion includes an entire-surface welded portion, in which end surfaces of the pair of the frame members are welded to each other over an entire surface in a thickness direction of a plate portion of the frame members, and a partial welded portion, in which the end surfaces of the pair of the frame members are welded to each other on one side of the entire surface in the thickness direction while another side of the entire surface in the thickness direction is not welded. The entire-surface welded portion and the partial welded portion are present at different portions on an outer periphery of the joint portion.
