A method for manufacturing a hermetically sealed window assembly. A first windowpane is provided, as is a first sealing member having inner and outer edges. The inner edge is positioned against the windowpane and pressed against it with sufficient force to produce a first contact pressure along a first junction. The junction is heated to produce a first temperature. The contact pressure and temperature are maintained until a diffusion bond is formed between the member and the windowpane. A second windowpane is provided, as is a second sealing member having inner and outer edges. The inner edge is positioned against the windowpane and pressed against it with sufficient force to produce a second contact pressure along a second junction. The junction is heated to produce a second temperature. The contact pressure and temperature are maintained until a diffusion bond is formed between the member and the windowpane. A spacer assembly is positioned between the first and second windowpanes for maintaining a gap therebetween. The outer ends of the sealing members are hermetically connected to one another, whereby a hermetically sealed cavity is defined between the windowpanes.

A gate has a frame, a gate door, a latch and a latch seat. The gate door is pivotally mounted in the frame. The latch is attached to a top corner of the gate door. The latch seat is attached to a top inner corner of the frame. The latch seat and the latch engage each other to latch the gate door to the frame. Unlatching the gate door requires multiple actions so children or pets are not able to open the gate. The safety of children is assured, and pets will not ruin objects isolated by the gate.

A combination of profiles for forming slider and double hung sash windows or patio doors includes a common outer profile and two different inner profiles so that one inner profile can be used to form the double hung and the other to form the slider. This allows the slider top inner to be cut away to form a floating section resting on the top of the sash. This allows the drain holes to be formed separately in the inner and the outer to be longitudinally offset to prevent direct air penetration. The sash frame is formed with a removable glass stop on one side which snaps into engagement at right angles to the glass surface of the sealed unit to allow formation of a tri-pane with 0.5 inch spacing and to allow the use of two strips of adhesive one on each side of the sealed unit with no need for drainage.

The adjustable louvered armor window system invention comprises angled louvers made of the lightweight opaque armor. For the front window a viewing window of ballistic glass can be installed, the rear or sides could be solid armor. The louvers have overlaps to provide for gap protection. When no threat is present, the louvers are in the full open position. Once a threat is detected, then the louvers are closed. The movement of the louvers can be accomplished by a push / pull cable, hydraulic pressure, air pressure or other means. The system in the fully open position allows for a complete unobstructed viewing area. In the semi-deployed or partial down position, the system provides partial ballistic coverage for the occupant, and still allows for some occupant vision capability. In the fully deployed, or fully closed position, the system provides full ballistic coverage for the occupant, with a small viewing area or port, which is made of ballistic grade transparent armor.

A safety gate assembly includes a frame which may be secured across a door opening, stairway or the like and comprises a base and two upstanding limbs and a gate. One side of the gate is connected by one or more pivotal connections to the one limb of the frame to permit pivotable movement of the gate with respect to the frame about a pivotal axis. The other side of the gate carries a latch member, which cooperates with a latch connected to the other limb of the frame. The latch defines a locked position, in which pivotable movement of the gate is prevented. The pivotal connection is constructed to permit linear movement of the gate relative to the frame in a direction parallel to the pivotal axis. The latch member cooperates with a biasing spring arranged to urge the latch member in the direction away from the said one side of the gate. The latch defines a recess, which is adapted to accommodate a portion of the latch member and laterally adjacent which is an entry ramp and extending vertically into which is an exit ramp. The entry ramp is constructed and arranged so that when the gate is pivoted into the closed position the latch member engages the entry ramp and is moved progressively against the force of the biasing means in the direction towards the said one side of the gate until the latch member is in registry with the recess and the biasing means then urges the latch member into the recess. Further pivotal movement of the gate is then prevented and the gate is in a locked position. The exit ramp is constructed and arranged so that when the gate is moved linearly upwardly, the latch member engages the exit ramp and is moved by it progressively in the direction towards the said one side of the gate until it is out of the recess, whereafter the gate may be moved pivotally into the open position.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to articles including anticondensation coatings that are exposed to an external environment, and / or methods of making the same. In certain example embodiments, the anticondensation coatings may be survivable in an outside environment. The coatings also may have a sufficiently low sheet resistance and hemispherical emissivity such that the glass surface is more likely to retain heat from the interior area, thereby reducing (and sometimes completely eliminating) the presence condensation thereon. The articles of certain example embodiments may be, for example, skylights, vehicle windows or windshields, IG units, VIG units, refrigerator / freezer doors, and / or the like.

The invention relates to a door (8) designed to be inserted between a cockpit and a cabin of an aircraft, the door comprising a cockpit side (8a) and a cabin side (8b). According to the invention, the door comprises at least one trapdoor (22) capable of closing off a passageway (20) passing through the door and secondly being opened towards the cabin side, the door also comprising a locking / unlocking mechanism (30) of the trapdoor arranged on the cockpit side and that can automatically unlock the trapdoor when the difference between a cockpit pressure and a cabin pressure corresponding to the air pressures applied on the cockpit side and the cabin side of the door respectively is greater than a predetermined value.

A barrier for the inside of a home. The barrier includes two partitions that slide relative to each other to increase and decrease a distance between ends of the barrier. The partitions slide into and out of confronting relationships with each other. The partitions engage each other at upper and lower locations and further at a medial location where an elongate member of one partition is received in a tube engaged to the other partition. A threaded piece upon being turned brings pressure to bear upon an end of the tube such that the partitions can be incrementally expanded apart and thereby pressurized between two locations within the home so as to block off one portion of the home. The threaded piece is slideable along the elongate member.

A laminated glass retention system for securing a laminated glass subassembly within a window sash or frame member or door panel or similar component includes a retention member applied to the laminated glass subassembly. The retention member generally can include a leg portion that engages of the laminated glass subassembly, and can further include a base portion that is coupled to the frame member in which the laminated glass subassembly is seated. The retention member helps retain the insulating glass subassembly within its frame member when subjected to high winds and wind-borne debris.
