A REVOLVING DOOR MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT
The disclosure relates to a revolving door mounting arrangement (1) for mounting a drive ring (2) of a revolving door (4), the mounting arrangement (2) comprising: at least one hook element (6) configured to be pivotably connected to a wall element (8) of the revolving door (4); and at least one connecting part (10) of the drive ring (2), which at least one connecting part (10) is configured to pivotally displace the at least one hook element (6) during mounting of the drive ring (2), and which at least one connecting part (10) is configured to rest on the at least one hook element (6) in a mounted condition of the drive ring (2). The hook element (6) comprises: a first surface (12) configured to permit the at least one connecting part (10) of the drive ring (2) to slide on and along the first surface (12) during mounting of the drive ring (2) for pivotally displacing the at least one hook element (6); and a second surface (14) configured to receive the at least one connecting part (10) of the drive ring (2) in the mounted condition of the drive ring (2). The disclosure further relates to a revolving door (4) comprising a drive ring (2). The disclosure further relates to a method for mounting a drive ring (2) of a revolving door (4) by means of a revolving door mounting arrangement (1).
PACKAGE DELIVERY DOOR
A package delivery door assembly is configured for being installed in an opening in a garage door. The assembly includes a frame having an outer peripheral planar portion configured to directly contact an outer surface of the garage door when the assembly is installed, and an inwardly extending flange portion configured to extend into the opening in the garage door when the assembly is installed. The assembly further includes two (or more) inner brackets. Each inner bracket has an inner planar portion and a ledge perpendicular to the inner planar portion. The ledges of the at least two inner brackets are configured to be coupled to the inwardly extending flange portion of the frame when the door assembly is installed, thereby avoiding additional holes being cut into the garage door. The assembly further includes a package delivery door hingedly attached to the frame.
SECURITY FEATURES FOR A SLIDING DOOR SYSTEM
A sliding door system having one or more sliding doors, door frames (e.g., static frames of different sizes for different wall thicknesses or adjustable frames that can be used to fit different wall thicknesses), sliding door hardware (e.g., tracks, wheels, soft closers, stops, or the like), header, door receiver, a plurality of seals, or the like. The sliding door system utilizes improvements to the components in order to provide security features, such as electromagnetic (EMC—EMI/RFI) shielding, sound resistance, blast resistance, forced entry and/or ballistic resistance, privacy features, light reduction, fire and/or smoke resistance, or the like to the sliding door system. In particular, the sliding door system allows for the use of the security features with the static or adjustable door frames described herein.
Dry install receptor system
A kit for maintaining the compression of a glazing leg gasket extending around the entire perimeter of a receptor frame. Once the glazing unit is installed within the receptor frame, the kit includes at least one sill anchor block disposed atop the sill of the receptor for engagement with the glazing frame and at least one head retention clip operable to apply a force to the glazing frame and against the receptor frame. The at least one head retention clip is adjustable to vary the compressive force applied to the glazing leg gasket.
Projecting fenestration assembly and methods for same
A projecting fenestration assembly includes a window shell having a plurality of component translucent panels. The window shell includes a shell frame having shell edges and a shell base. The plurality of component translucent panels are seated within the shell frame and surround a light cavity. A carriage frame is coupled with the window shell and supports the window shell. The carriage frame includes one or more carriage struts and a carriage tray extending from the one or more carriage struts to a tray end. The one or more carriage struts are coupled along the shell edges of the window shell. The carriage tray is coupled along the shell base.
Security insulated glass unit
An insulated glass unit having: an outer lite, an inner lite, and a shock absorbing spacer bar disposed between perimeter portions of the inner and outer lite, forming a cavity, the spacer bar having: an inner housing with a plurality of desiccant ports disposed between an internal desiccant chamber and the cavity; a desiccant encased within the desiccant chamber; a flexible outer housing in which the inner housing is nested; and a perimeter guard disposed on the outer surface of the spacer bar, said perimeter guard being configured to attach the spacer bar to each lite. The spacer bar is configured to be highly crush resistant, thus preventing the either lite from being dislodged during a forced entry attempt. The desiccant ports expose the desiccant to the cavity for humidity maintenance within said cavity. An additional lite and spacer bar may be implemented to form a three lite IGU.
Compound fenestration assembly mull joints and methods
Compound fenestration assembly mull joints, compound fenestration assemblies using those mull joints, and methods of making and using the same are described herein. The mull joints in compound fenestration assemblies as described herein use universal joining strips to form both sides of a mull joint, as well as other universal components such as, e.g., corner gussets, locator plates, end plugs, seal members, etc. that may be used as needed to form mull joints as required in a compound fenestration assembly.
Tower segment and manufacturing method
A tower segment, in particular for a tower of a wind turbine, a wind turbine, and a method for manufacturing a tower segment is provided. A tower segment, in particular for a tower of a wind turbine, comprising a casing segment with an inner casing surface, an outer casing surface and a cutout for a door, wherein the inner casing surface has a first inner reinforcing portion and/or the outer casing surface has an outer reinforcing portion, wherein the inner reinforcing portion and/or the outer reinforcing portion adjoin the cutout, and the inner reinforcing portion has an inner reinforcing plate and/or the outer reinforcing portion has an outer reinforcing plate.
CUSTOMIZABLE WINDOW AND DOOR SYSTEM FOR SEVERE WEATHER PROTECTION
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.
Jamb-hung secondary door and method of installation
A method of installing a combination door unit into a threshold of a house, comprising placing a combination door unit within a threshold opening of a house surrounded by a plurality of house frame studs. The combination door unit comprises a door frame, a threshold door hingedly coupled to the door frame, and a secondary door.
