Sectional operating rods and masking bars for casement door-bolt - adjust to door size with U-connectors and bars connected via toothed edges

The fittings may be utilised on doors or windows and may constitute the operating rods and masking sections for casement bolts. The fittings are for mounting in 'T' section grooves in the rebated edges of doors doors or windows and provide for length adjustment to suit frame widths. Adjustment is provided by toothed connectors incorporated on the conjunctive ends of two fittings. A typical detail has an inverted 'U' section connector (130) housing the conjunctive ends of two rectangular section pieces (116, 112) of masking. The inside walls of the connector (130) and the terminal edges of the masking sections (112, 116) have reciprocal triangular teeth (138).

SASH BALANCE FOR VERTICAL SLIDER WINDOW

A removable balance system for a sash movable vertically between a pair of window jambs. The balance system includes a U-shaped balance channel member and a double block and tackle system disposed within the U-shaped balance channel with a locking feature selectively operable between extending laterally outwardly from the shoe for engagement with an opening in the jamb channel and recessed within the shoe. In operation the locking feature is inserted into an upper most opening in the jamb channel and the cord of the double block and tackle is withdrawn to an extent sufficient for the locking feature to engage a second opening in the jamb channel thereby securing the balance system in place within each jamb providing a seat for the sash atop the two laterally disposed shoes.

SPRING BALANCE ASSEMBLY

The present invention provides a spring balance assembly for use with a sash window assembly slidable within a master frame. The spring balance assembly generally includes a plurality of stacked spring assemblies and pivot brake assembly. The spring assemblies include a coil spring and a support plate that rotatably supports the coil spring. Each coil spring has a free end, an intermediate portion, and a coiled portion, wherein the free ends are operably connected to the pivot brake assembly. The coil springs are configured to prevent a portion of the spring from excessive bowing and making prolonged contact with the wall of the mounting channel to which the balance assembly is affixed. In addition, the coil springs are wound in a manner that significantly reduces the occurrence of severe bowing of the coiled portion and engagement with the channel walls. The spring balance assembly of the present invention reduces contact with the channel walls and thereby reduces any friction and the ...

LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR ADJUSTABLE LEGS

An adjustable leg for a device includes first and second legs telescopically received relative to one another. The second leg has multiple adjustment holes. An externally located lever is supported relative to the first leg. The lever cooperates with a detent received in one of the adjustment holes in a latched position in which the first and second legs are fixed relative to one another. The lever includes an area spaced from the detent that is rotatable about a pivot from the latch position to an unlatched position in which the detent is disposed outside one of the adjustment holes. In the unlatched position, movement of the first and second legs in an axial direction relative to one another is permitted.

Gate adjustment system

A gate adjustment system has a bull-nose glide, a flat glide, a plurality of spacers, a gap size gauge, and a gap adjustment wedge. The glides are attached to the latch post and the latch side of a gate opposite one another. As the gate is shut, the bull-nose portion of the bull-nose glide impacts the rounded edge of the flat glide. The two curved surfaces allow the impact force to cause the gate to be lifted and pushed back into alignment. The gap adjustment wedge can be positioned between the top of the latch side and the latch post and pushed downwards into the gap until the gap is uniform from the top to the bottom. The gap size gauge then measures the size of the gap and that measurement is used to determine which of the plurality of spacers should be installed with the glides.
