A fenestration assembly includes a glazing unit includes a pane spacer between exterior and interior panes proximate glazing unit edges. A fenestration frame is coupled around the glazing unit and includes a frame core extending around the glazing unit. The frame core includes a unitary core wall including a composite material that is hollow and extends continuously from a core interior face to a core exterior face. A metal glazing cap is coupled with the frame core. The metal glazing cap having a cap end indirectly engaged with the glazing unit along the interior pane, and the cap end is remote from the pane spacer. Each of the core exterior face, the pane spacer and the metal glazing cap are thermally isolated from each other with the frame core including the unitary core wall.

A panel fastening device that is configured to move together a first frame of a first panel unit having a first glass panel mounted within the first frame and a second frame of a second panel unit having a second glass panel mounted within the second frame. The device includes a suction cup is configured to be coupled to and released from the first glass panel of the first panel unit, and a structure is configured to be pressed against and released from the second frame of the second panel unit.

A light-weight unitary window assembly for recreational vehicles and trailers. The window assembly uses a two piece design that seats within the wall or door opening and incorporates a fixed window pane integrally molded into one of the polymer frame halves. The window assembly also uses a plurality of weep holes that extend through the frame halves to vacate water from the window assembly to the exterior of the vehicle or trailer wall. In an exemplary embodiment, the window assembly also includes a sliding window pane that slides along a peripheral track and securely seats in a closed position using a plurality of contact pads to prevent window chatter. The window assembly also includes an integrated latch mechanism to secure the sliding pane.

A rear slider window assembly for a vehicle includes a fixed window panel and a movable window panel that is movable between a closed position and an opened position. The movable window panel includes a laminated movable window panel having an electrical element disposed between an inner glass panel and an outer glass panel. The first electrical element is in electrical connection with a wire harness of the vehicle via a flexible connector electrically connected to a first electrical connector at an inner surface of the movable window panel and to a second electrical connector at the inner surface of the fixed window panel. The first electrical connector is electrically connected to the first electrical element via a thin flat connector that extends from the first electrical connector and wraps around a perimeter edge of the inner glass panel of the movable window panel.

The improved sliding glass door or window includes several glass panels that are mounted free-floating in a split frame with an upper and lower section that permits the glass panels to form at least a portion of an external wall of a skybox or the like. The frame and the glass panels that form the portion of the external wall preserves the weatherproofing of the room while also maintaining the safety and security of the room. The glass panels include spaced apart stationary end panels and at least one movable intermediate panel and possibly more intermediate panels as desirable. The end panels each abut against respective room walls with a flexible strip to seal the sliding glass door or window to the walls. The movable intermediate panels may be moved interiorly toward a fixed wall to provide access to the exterior of the room. The intermediate panels seal against the stationary panels to seal the sliding glass door or window thereto.

The present invention relates to a heat insulation and support structure between a moving window (sliding window) and a fixed window constituting a sliding window system, or between a moving window and another moving window. More particularly, the present invention relates to a window chassis insulating structure and a glass panel supporting (mounting) structure including technical improvements in a center bar portion in which a window chassis of a movable window and a fixed window (or other movable window) overlap each other when a sliding window of a two-side supporting frame window having a two-sided supporting frame for supporting only both sides of a glass window constituting a sliding window system, is closed.

A window frame assembly includes a frame; a setting block including a block body secured to the frame; and a block lip extending outwards from the block body; a glazing bead secured to the frame and the setting block, a bead rib of the glazing bead positioned between the block lip and the frame, the glazing bead and the frame defining a glazing channel; and a lite defining a first edge, the first edge of the lite inserted into the glazing channel.

A rear slider window assembly for a vehicle includes a movable window panel that is movable along upper and lower rails of a fixed window panel. The lower rail includes a water drainage element having (i) a hole established through the lower rail and (ii) a drainage receiving conduit attached at the fixed window panel beneath the hole of the lower rail and spaced from the lower rail. The drainage receiving conduit includes a receiving portion disposed below the opening to receive water from the opening and a guiding portion to guide received water toward an exit of the drainage receiving conduit. The drainage receiving conduit provides a passageway for water to flow from the lower rail, through the hole of the lower rail, and into the drainage receiving conduit, which drains the water exterior the rear slider window assembly.

Devices, systems, and methods for a frame with a slidable segment are disclosed. The slidable segment is slidably mounted within the frame. A first motor is coupled to the slidable segment. The first motor has a first gear affixed to and driven by the first motor. A first gear track may be mounted to a first horizontal member of the frame, wherein teeth of the first gear align with tooth spaces of the first gear track. Rotating the first gear in a first rotational direction causes the first gear to pull the slidable segment in a first linear direction as the first gear walks along the first gear track. Rotating the first gear in a second rotational direction causes the first gear to pull the slidable segment in a second linear direction as the first gear walks along the first gear track.
