Abstract

In the process of installing windows, it is known that manpower is a necessity to hold the horizontal extrusions in place while they are being fastened into the vertical extrusions on large window structures. In this invention, the "C" clamps secure the horizontal extrusions and allow the operator to move the extrusions by turning a manual wheel, either pulling the extrusions together or away from each other depending on which way the wheel is turned.

Description

Section 3:

As per section 93(d) of the Patent Rules a description of the "Windo Clamp"
invention is required.

Specifications:
The "Windo Clamp" invention is a manually operable tool used for assembling the aluminum extrusions on windows of all sizes. The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the need of two or three individuals in the process of fastening the horizontal and vertical aluminum extrusions to one another, where the window is to be installed, see figure # 1. No device is currently known of that can be used in such a matter as the "Windo Clamp", therefore by developing our invention we can eliminate any difficulties that may occur.

In the field of window assembly, manpower is the only way to assemble windows and in turn creates many inefficiencies, that are both time consuming and costly. The "Windo Clamp" invention was developed to eliminate the problem of manpower and become an operator friendly device that is both cost effective and time efficient.

"In my opinion the "Windo Clamp" invention overcomes any difficulties and inefficiencies by having a fully constructed "C" clamp made from 1 inch aluminum shown in figure # 2 with a telescoping square tube that moves as required by turning a manual wheel, to pull or push two pieces of aluminum together or away from each other with the effort of one individual.rather than several. There are also two handles (toggle clamps) that clamp to the aluminum for a secure hold so the operator can turn the manual wheel with very little effort, shown in figure # 3. This is a safe and reliable way for an individual to become dependant on a device rather than other individuals.
Overall the "Windo Clamp" is appropriate for anyone to use but yet geared towards a target group of glass/window assembly companies. This invention will allow the target group to take advantage of such an easy to use and cost effective way to assemble windows.

Section 4:

Description of the Drawings Figure #1 is an overview of the "Windo Clamp" showing all components Figure #2 illustrates the dimensions of the "C" clamp end plates Figure #3 shows the two toggle clamps that secure a hold on the extrusions

Claims (2)

1. The "Windo Clamp" is a manually operated tool to eliminate 2-3 people constructing extruded aluminum frames, this tool comprises of two aluminum "C" clamp end plates on a sliding handle with an acme thread, locking handles to hold extrusions in place, and a manual wheel that turns to pull or push the aluminum extrusions together or away from each other.
2. The tool defined in Claim 1, is an aluminum device that assists an operator in fastening the horizontal extrusions to the vertical extrusions when installing window frames by manually clamping the device to the extrusion using a toggle clamp.
