Abstract:
A sealing pad for sealing between a door and a surrounding doorjamb. The sealing pad is adjustably mounted to a bottom corner of the doorjamb and includes a base and at least three lobes formed on the base. The base has a tail extending from an inside edge of the base and extending away from an inner lobe of the three lobes. The tail is configured to fit into a channel in the bottom corner of the doorjamb. When installed, the sealing pad is adjustable by sliding along the doorjamb with the tail in the channel.
Abstract:
A door system is provided for a motor vehicle. That door system includes (a) a first independently operable first, door, (b) an independently operable second door, (c) an articulating door interface carried on the first door and (d) a guide on the motor vehicle body. The guide displaces the articulating door interface between a door sealing position when the first door is closed and a door opening position when the first door is opened. A related method is also provided.
Abstract:
A system for mounting a panel within an existing window frame. The system includes an elongated deformable bulb, and an elongated carrier. The bulb has a resilient portion, a base section, an extension extending from the base section, and a crosspiece coupled to a distal end of the extension. The crosspiece includes a pair of shoulders at opposite ends of the crosspiece. Each shoulder protrudes laterally beyond the extension. The elongated carrier has a receiving slot opposite a panel gap. The receiving slot has a neck laterally narrower than an interior cavity of the receiving slot. The receiving slot is configured to securely receive the crosspiece of the bulb and to confine the shoulders of the crosspiece.
Abstract:
A door weather strip includes an installation base member operatively coupled on a peripheral edge of a door of an automobile and a hollow seal member integrally molded with an inner-cabin side of the installation base member. The hollow seal member makes elastic contact with a door opening edge of a body when the door is in a closed position. A prop forms a part of a wall of the hollow seal member. The prop is substantially linear in cross section and has a first protrusion formed on an end thereof. The protrusion protrudes toward the door and makes elastic contact with a panel of the door.
Abstract:
The enclosure comprises: a partition (1) of panels (2) provided with longitudinal grooves (3) and a space for mounting a door (6); and a door (6) comprising: an upper box (7); and two vertical posts (9) with vertical guides (30) for moving a closing element (10), in addition to longitudinal channels (15) defining passages, with the longitudinal grooves (3), for housing fastening elements (16, 17) that can be vertically moved between a position wherein the door (6) is held and a position wherein the door (6) is released. The door comprises means for ensuring peripheral tightness in the closed position.
Abstract:
A system for mounting a secondary panel within a window frame of an existing window. The system includes a rigid panel, an elongated deformable bulb, and an elongated carrier. The bulb has a resilient, rounded portion, a base section, an extension extending from the base section, and a crosspiece coupled to a distal end of the extension. The crosspiece includes a pair of shoulders at opposite ends of the crosspiece. Each shoulder extends laterally away from a centerline of the bulb and protrudes laterally beyond the extension. The elongated carrier has a receiving slot opposite a panel gap configured to receive an edge of the panel. The receiving slot has a neck laterally narrower than an interior cavity of the receiving slot. The receiving slot is configured to securely receive the crosspiece of the bulb and to confine the shoulders of the crosspiece.
Abstract:
An exterior wall structure includes first to fourth waterproofing members. Each of the first to fourth waterproofing members includes a fixing portion, a positioning portion, a separating portion, a supporting portion, and first and second seal portions. The positioning portion extends continuously with the fixing portion toward the exterior side. The positioning portion positions an exterior wall material by coming into abutment with an end face of the exterior wall material. The separating portion extends continuously with the positioning portion toward the sash body side so as to be located between the sash body and the exterior wall material. The first seal portion inhibits the entry of water by coming into abutment with the exterior wall material. The second seal portion inhibits the entry of water by coming into abutment with the sash body.
Abstract:
A weatherstrip and associated method of forming the weather-strip includes a body having a core formed of a first material and at least partially encapsulated in an extrusion material. A bright strip or metal show surface is integrated within the extrusion body to provide an aesthetically pleasing bright strip. The end of the bright strip is formed at an end of the weatherstrip to provide a one-piece structure.
Abstract:
A system for mounting a secondary panel within a window frame of an existing window. The system includes a rigid panel, an elongated deformable bulb, and an elongated carrier. The bulb has a resilient, rounded portion and a base section with at least one tongue extending from the base section. The carrier is configured to receive at least a portion of an edge of the panel within a panel gap and to receive, between opposing resilient prongs, the tongue of the bulb. The resilient prongs are configured to diverge to allow a distal end of the tongue to pass between the resilient prongs. Also disclosed is a system for mounting a flexible sheet within a window frame of an existing window.
Abstract:
A sash window includes a fixed frame in which at least one inner sliding frame can slide between an open position and a closed position of the window, and at least one sliding or fixed outer frame, seals being interposed between the fixed frame and the inner sliding frame, a sealing system including, for the inner sliding frame, two lateral seals, a top cross-member seal, for the outer frame, and a bottom cross-member seal. Additionally, the invention the sealing system includes intermediate seals that join on each side of the sliding frame the cross-member seals and the lateral seals, so as to form a continuity of sealing between these seals in the closed position of said inner sliding frame. The lateral junction region between the inner sliding frame and the outer frame is thus connected by a sealing system that makes them sealed vis-à-vis each other.
