Abstract:
A method for fabricating an insulated system such as, for instance, an insulated window unit, includes introducing an insulating material between adjacent walls (12a, 12b) and stabilizing the system. Particulate insulators preferably are introduced in the system by filling an expanded internal volume. Stabilization of the system can be carried out by reducing the pressure within the internal volume. A stabilized insulated system is fabricated by introducing an insulating material between adjacent walls and stabilizing the system. Also disclosed are processes and equipment for filling insulated systems, such as fenestration units, and insulated systems comprising mixed insulating' materials.
Abstract:
An assembly (14, 16) for securing two juxtaposed panels (64, 66) to a structure (74), each panel including a joining flange (68, 70) located at, or adjacent to, respective juxtaposed edges thereof. The assembly includes a retaining member (14) having a substantially planar surface (24) supporting at opposite edges thereof respective first flanges (26, 28) and a clamping member (16) having two spaced-apart legs (48, 40) depending from a web (36). Second flanges (46, 48) are each supported on a facing internal surface of a respective one of the legs so as to extend away from the web. Each leg engages a respective exposed surface of an adjacent joining flange, the first and second flanges being oriented in opposite directions so as to interlock when the clamping member is mounted on the retaining member and thereby limit lateral separation of the legs.

Abstract:
An impact protection apparatus has a body portion formed of a first resilient material and a number of members protruding radially outward from the body portion. The members are formed of a second resilient material which is the same as or different from the first resilient material. The impact protection apparatus has an adhesive material or a mechanical fastener disposed about the body portion and/or the members.The apparatus may be affixed to a surface.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung beschreibt ein Verbundsystem umfassend ein Hohlkammerprofil (10) aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff und ein Wärmeisolationselement (20), wobei das Hohlkammerprofil (10) wenigstens aus einem transparenten Oberteil (12) und einem strahlungsabsorbierenden Unterteil (14) besteht, welche durch in Längsrichtung verlaufende Stege (16) derart miteinander verbunden sind, dass parallele Strömungskanäle (30) gebildet werden, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Aussenseite des Unterteils (14) mit einem Wärmeisolationselement (20) verbunden ist.
Abstract:
In einem den Durchtritt von Feuer und Hitze hemmenden lichtdurchlässigen Hohlelement (2), insbesondere Hohlglas-Baustein, mit zwei Sichtflächen (2.1, 2.2) und umlaufenden Seitenwänden, die den Innenraum des Hohlelements (2) als innere Mantelfläche (2M) umschreiben, wobei mindestens eine der Flächen des Innenraums mit einer Schicht aus einem bei Temperaturerhöhung reagierenden, insbesondere aufschäumenden und/oder kühlwirksamen Material (5) versehen ist, ist die Schicht erfindungsgemäß entlang wenigstens eines Teils der inneren Mantelfläche (2M) angeordnet, so dass der wesentliche Anteil der Sichtflächen ungehindert lichtdurchlässig ist. Es werden verschiedene Varianten zum Anordnen des Materials und auch Wandelemente beschrieben, die unter Verwendung solcher Hohlelemente hergestellt sind.
Abstract:
A translucent panel (1) comprises a single body of translucent material. The single body comprising an outer weather skin (2), an inner liner skin (3) and a multiwall support (4) between the outer weather skin (2) and the inner liner skin (3). The inner liner skin (3), outer weather skin (2) and multiwall support (4) all being of translucent material. The panel (1) further comprises an integral overlap portion (10) at least one end and/or side thereof. The overlap portion (10) having a thickness close to the thickness of the outer weather skin.
Abstract:
A system for the placement of modular fill material forming co joined assemblies that promotes increased efficiency in fill material building methods by utilizing the capabilities of aerial conveyance devices, the pre-assembly of forms, the rapid bracing of forms, and the sequential placement of enclosure forms.
