FENESTRATION UNIT WITH TWO-PART FRAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011347 titled 'FENESTRATION UNIT WITH TWO-PART FRAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a fenestration unit, which is a window or door unit, consisting of a sash and a frame. The frame has multiple walls that support the sash. One of the walls has a cover coupling portion with two cantilevered coupling walls. The frame also includes an access cover with tabs that can engage with the cantilevered coupling walls.
- The patent application is for a fenestration unit design that includes a sash and a frame.
- The frame has multiple walls that provide support for the sash.
- One of the walls has a cover coupling portion with two cantilevered coupling walls.
- The frame also includes an access cover with tabs that can engage with the cantilevered coupling walls.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Residential and commercial windows and doors
- Skylights and glass roofs
- Curtain walls and glass facades in buildings
- Greenhouses and conservatories
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a secure and reliable coupling mechanism between the sash and frame
- Ensures proper alignment and sealing of the glazing unit
- Simplifies the installation and maintenance of the fenestration unit
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security and durability of fenestration units
- Improved energy efficiency through better sealing
- Easy installation and maintenance process
- Versatile design suitable for various types of fenestration units
Original Abstract Submitted
a fenestration unit includes a sash configured to receive a glazing unit, and a frame. the frame includes a plurality of walls configured to support the sash. a first wall of the plurality of walls includes a cover coupling portion having a first cantilevered coupling wall spaced apart from a second cantilevered coupling wall. the frame includes an access cover defining at least one tab configured to releasably engage with at least one of the first cantilevered coupling wall and the second cantilevered coupling wall.
