    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) window to be substituted for and/or replace a non-vacuum insulated glass window in an existing window assembly frame structure is disclosed. A width of a VIG window is substantially less than that of existing non-vacuum insulated glass (IG) windows (e.g., a double, triple or quad pane windows). A replacement stop is provided that compensates for the difference between the larger width of a non-vacuum insulated glass window and a VIG window which has a smaller width, thereby enabling the VIG window to be easily and cost effectively installed in existing window configurations originally intended for non-vacuum insulated glass windows. The replacement stop may be used in the manufacture of VIG window units and/or to replace existing and/or already installed non-vacuum insulated glass windows.

    Abstract: A vacuum insulated glass (VIG) window unit installation configuration and method for installing a VIG window unit in a window frame that was designed to accommodate at least a thicker IG (insulating glass/integrated glass) window unit(s). The VIG window unit may be supported on a first side by a first stop portion of the frame and on a second side by a second stop portion of the frame. A spacer structure is provided along at least one side of the VIG window unit between the VIG window unit and at least one of the first and second stop portions, the spacer structure including at least one hollow area surrounded by a solid portion when viewed cross sectionally.

    Abstract: A multi-window sash comprising: a frame structure; a plurality of sash units, to each of which a panel is mounted which are connected with each other in a panel width direction, each of the sash units comprising bilateral vertical frame members, an upper frame member and a lower frame member which constitute a rectangular frame of the sash unit in combination thereof; and a mullion structure connecting adjacent two sash units and including at least a mullion having an expandable structure. The expandable mullion structure comprises a first mullion section attached to one sash unit and having one side surface in a panel width direction provided with a recessed portion and having water-tight member attachments and guide pieces which are attached to respective opposing inner surfaces of the recessed portion, water-tight members mounted to the respective water tight member attachments, and a second mullion structure attached to another one sash unit adjacent to the one sash unit and fitted to the recessed portion of the first mullion section in the panel width direction. The water-tight members are mounted so as to be pressed against both side end surfaces in a panel thickness direction of the second mullion section and the guide pieces are disposed so as to oppose to both the side end surfaces in the panel thickness direction of the second mullion section with gaps, respectively, to thereby impart an expandable function to the first and second mullion sections.

    Abstract: A framing assembly for a door light which includes a first frame, a second frame, and a plurality of channel sections. The first and second frames are formed from a plurality of frame sections. The channel sections are disposed within the hollow space defined by the two skins of a door panel. The first frame sections are attached to the channel sections by any conventional fastening means. The first frame sections are provided with integral latch members and the second frames are provided with integral clip members which cooperate to retain the second frame member within the opening in a hollow door panel without the use of any visible external hardware. The framing assembly of the present invention may be provided with pre-finished surfaces and can be installed in pre-existing doors without the need for special welding equipment or extensive modification to the door panel prior to installation.

    Abstract: A structure for mounting a panel in a panel mounting frame to form a door, window, or the like comprises bilateral vertical frame elements, an upper transverse frame element and a lower transverse frame element assembled to form a quadrangular panel mounting frame. Each of the bilateral vertical frame elements has a recessed groove and a receiving means. A first bead member is attached to each of the vertical frame elements by an attachment means inserted in the recessed groove. A second bead member is also attached to each of the vertical frame elements by an engaging means engaged with a receiving means. A panel is mounted so that each of its bilateral vertical edge portions is disposed between the first bead member and the second bead member.
