The sliding element includes a sliding plate and a sealing device that includes at least one sealing element, which forms a sealing frame that is arranged on a rear side of the sliding plate and that extends peripherally along an edge of the sliding plate. The sliding plate includes a base plate and a flange plate, which is offset from the base plate, which is connected in one piece to the base plate and which is separated at its edge from the base plate by a circumferential anchor groove, which anchor groove serves for holding the at least one sealing element, which at least one sealing element includes an anchor member that is inserted into the anchor groove and that is connected via a connection body to a compression member.

The system includes a series of operable louvers mounted on a four-sided frame and connected on each side to the operating mechanism that allows for easy opening and closing of the louvers. Every part of the system that is exposing to the exterior of the building is separated from the interior part of the system by a low heat conductivity material as a thermal barrier. Each operable louver is composing of a four-sided main frame, two panes of glass (inner and outer) and a coupling mechanism on each side that connects to the operating mechanism. The main frame acts as the thermal break as well as a system that absorbs the energy created when an outside object impacts the window from the outside. The system incorporates sealing devices between all moving parts to eliminate water and air infiltration. The operating system allows for easy opening and closing of the window by rotating each louver with the crank mechanism assisted by springs.

An improved storm door for a building. The improved storm door includes a main portion and a plurality of edge portions that includes a top edge, a latch edge, and a hinge edge. The main portion is thicker than the edges of the plurality of edge portions, and is sized to secure an insulated glass panel therein. The edge portion is thinner than the main portion, and can secure an insulated gasket thereon. The insulated glass panel and insulated gasket improve insulation of the improved storm door, and seal an interior of the building from an exterior of the building.

An apparatus for providing a seal between a door jamb and a hinged door leaf of a shower, the apparatus having a flexible body configured to be attached to the door jamb and configured to contact the door leaf when the door leaf is in a closed position.

A sliding door assembly includes a door panel, a frame that supports the door panel and includes a bottom member with a lower profile and a top member with an upper profile, wherein the lower profile and the upper profile are parallel to one another. A lower sliding assembly is operatively coupled to a bottom of the door panel and engages the lower profile, and an upper sliding assembly is operatively coupled to a top of the door panel and engages the upper profile. A gasket interposes the door panel and a portion of the frame when the door panel is in a sealed position. The door panel is movable between the sealed position, where the gasket creates a sealed interface between the door panel and the frame, and a sliding position, where the door panel is moved laterally relative to the frame while remaining substantially perpendicular to a floor.

The invention relates to a hinge-sided finger protection device for a wing door, comprising at least a protective profile (1) and at least a fastening means (3) for fastening the protective profile (1) to a door frame (R) of the wing door. The protective profile (1) can be plugged onto the fastening means (3), wherein the protective profile (1) accommodates in itself the fastening means (3) in the plugged-on state. The protective profile (1) is non-destructively removable from the fastening means (3) and can be again plugged thereon. The at least one fastening means is preferably a clip (3).

A folding device as room closure has a frame and a chain of panels arranged therein. The panels are pivotably connected by alternate first and second hinge arrangements and foldable from a stretched-out closed position into an open accordion fold arrangement. First hinge arrangements are guided on guide rails of the frame; second hinge arrangements are deflected away from the frame. In the closed position, the panels are sealed relative to each other and to the frame by frame seals extending at least partially along a sealing plane. An adjusting strip in front of a lateral frame part is adjustable to adjust a spacing between adjustable strip and lateral frame part for spatial adaption to an adjacent panel. The adjusting strip has a sealing contact surface aligned with the sealing plane and resting against a seal arranged on the lateral frame part and extending into the guide rails.

A weatherseal has a stiffener and a foam profile. A first portion of the foam profile is connected to the stiffener. A second portion of the foam profile is joined to the first portion at a hinge. The first and second foam profile portions have inner surfaces facing substantially towards each other and outer surfaces facing substantially away from each other. The foam profile defines at least one continuous elongate lumen. A portion of the foam profile has a resin coating.

A water penetration prevention system includes an insert for being positioned along a track for a window, the insert having a first engaging portion disposed on a first side of the insert and a second engaging portion disposed on a second side of the insert. The system also includes a seal engaging member disposed between the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, the seal engaging member being selectively positionable between a first position that a second position. The seal engaging member, in the second position, applies a force on at least one of the first side of the insert and the second side of the insert that causes the at least one of the first side of the insert and the second side of the insert to sealingly engage a corresponding one of the window and a vertical wall of the track.

A vehicle weather strip according to the present invention includes a base that is attached to a door, a protrusion (a first elastic contact section) that comes into elastic contact with a sash of the door further in a door outer side direction than the base, a protrusion (a second elastic contact section) that comes into elastic contact with the sash further in the door outer side direction than the protrusion (the first elastic contact section). The protrusion (the second elastic contact section) is in contact with at least a molding in the sash.
