FENESTRATION UNIT WITH SASH RETENTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240018823 titled 'FENESTRATION UNIT WITH SASH RETENTION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fenestration unit, which is a window or door unit, that includes a frame and a sash to support a glazing unit. The fenestration unit has a channel and a retainer base, both extending along a first axis. The retainer is removably coupled to the frame and the sash frame to retain the sash frame on the fenestration frame. The retainer has three arms, with one arm movably coupled to the channel and another arm movably coupled to the retainer base.
- The fenestration unit includes a frame and a sash frame to support a glazing unit.
- A channel is defined in either the frame or the sash frame, extending along a first axis.
- A retainer base is associated with the other of the frame or the sash frame, also extending along the first axis.
- A retainer is removably coupled to both the frame and the sash frame to retain the sash frame on the fenestration frame.
- The retainer has three arms, with one arm movably coupled to the channel and another arm movably coupled to the retainer base.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Window and door manufacturing industry
- Construction industry
- Architectural design industry
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the installation and removal of sash frames in fenestration units
- Provides a secure and removable attachment mechanism for sash frames
Benefits of this technology:
- Easy and efficient installation and removal of sash frames
- Allows for flexibility in fenestration unit design and customization
