Abstract

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.

Abstract

A system for improving the alignment of building product frame members. The system includes a first and second clip member each with an arcuate edge releasably positioned into a channel within the opposed frame members. A longitudinally extending banding strap looped through openings in both first and second clip member. The first end of the longitudinally extending banding strap is inserted into a banding strap tensioning apparatus and tension is applied to the first end as well as to a longitudinally disposed segment of the banding strap that is also inserted into the banding strap tensioning apparatus. Once the specified span is achieved, the overlapping first end and longitudinally disposed segment are bonded together using the banding member tensioning apparatus thereby preventing movement of the first and second frame members away from one another. Sealant is applied to the frame members and the banding strap clip members are removed.

Abstract

A universal clip assembly for use in restraining in position two window frame members post-assembly until sealant applied to the frame members fully cures. The universal clip assembly includes an upper panel, a lower panel and a hook plate disposed between the upper and lower panels. Each panel includes one or more protrusions extending outwardly from an interior surface of the panel. Interior surfaces of the upper and lower panels are positioned to face one another and the one or more protrusion from each of the upper and lower panels passes into an opening in the opposite panel as well as openings in the hook plate to secure the hook plate in position therebetween the panels.

Abstract

A window system includes a window frame spatially separated from a subframe. The subframe has a receptor leg spatially separated from a wedge bead by a thermal break. The receptor leg includes a channel for directing liquid away from the subframe; a first gasket disposed between the receptor leg and the window frame at a first location; and a second gasket disposed between the receptor leg and the window frame at a second location. Liquid passing between the first gasket and the window frame is directed into the channel via the second gasket.

Abstract

A window system has a window frame that surrounds a window unit. The window frame has a glazing leg with an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall forms a J-shaped stem, which forms a J-shaped channel between the inner wall and the outer wall. A first gasket engages with the outer wall, and is maintained in compression between the outer wall and the window unit. Likewise, a second gasket engages with the inner wall, and is maintained in compression between the inner wall and the window unit.
