  • a pair of dovetail shaped recesses are provided in vertically opposed portions of these frame means and a suitably contoured plastic in sulating strip or runner 19 is engaged with these opposed dovetail shaped recesses to secure the top section components together but to prevent heat or cold transfer therebetween.
  • the outer section 17 has a dependent J-shaped flange 20 thereon for engaging a roller 21 suitably attached to a screen 22 whereby the screen 22 is positioned for sliding movement in the frame means to close the opening formed when the movable panel 12 is moved to expose some of the opening which the door or panel assembly 10 provides.
  • a guide strip 23 is normally secured to the sill flange 14 to aid in guiding movement of the screen 22 and retain it in proper position in the assembly while an inner vertically extending flange 24 or upright is suitably secured to the sill 13 to prevent undesired inward movement of the screen 22 and to provide a support for the lower margin of the fixed panel 11 in the panel assembly 10.
  • the panel assembly as described herembefore is substantially of conventional construction and the novel portion of the present invention particularly relates to the slidable or movable panel 12 and to the details of support and positioning thereof.
  • Such sill means, or floating sill 25 is carried by and positioned on the bottom sill 13, as by having the dependent lateral flanges 26 and 27 telescope into engagement with associated portions of the bottom sill.
  • Normally conventional weather stripping means 3! are carried by each of the flanges 26 and 27 on their inner surfaces for contact with the adjacent surfaces on the bottom sill to make the assembly of the slidable panel 12 with the frame substantially airtight at this connection.
  • the slidable panel 12 is shown in the drawings with an upper rail 32 and a bottom rail 33.
  • Some suitable member, usually glass or an insulated glass sheet or pane 34 is provided and is suitably attached to the upper and bottom or lower rails 32 and 33 for positioning the slidable sash in the panel assembly 10.
  • Any suitable vertical extending edge members or rails are usually provided for the slidable panel 12 normally to complete a frame means therearound.
  • the upper rail 32 normally engages some means operably carried by the frame for the assembly 10 and in this instance, the upper sash rail 32 is shown as having a pair of laterally spaced vertically upwardly extending legs 35 and 36 which may carry suitable weather stripping means 37 thereon to engage a dependent flange 38 which normally is resiliently and operably carried by the top portion of the frame of the assembly 10 whereby the slidable panel 12 is engaged with such flange 39 and its associated member for controlled or guided sliding movement only in a horizontal plane but with some limited vertical movement being permitted usually between the slidable panel 12 and the frame means provided therefor.
  • the lower or bottom rail 33 has a pair of laterally spaced vertically downwardly directed edge flanges 4t ⁇ and 41 which are snugly received and usually have some slight frictional engagement with a pair of vertically upwardly extending flanges 42 and 43 provided on a shoe 44.
  • This shoe or bottom support rail 44 when the components of the assembly 10 are operatively engaged, is then adapted to provide a supporting action for the slidable panel 12 in association with other means to be described hereinafter in more detail.
  • the sills and the shoe 44 normally are made from a non-magnetic metallic material, such as wood or aluminum, and such shoe has a pair of downwardly extending edge flanges 45 and 46 which are designed so as to overlap laterally and vertically the upper portions of the upwardly extending flanges 28 and 29 provided on the floating sill 25, all for a purpose to be described hereinafter in more detail.
  • FIG. 3 best shows that the bottom rail 33 removably engages the shoe 44, and a pair of vertically adjustable support means 47 are provided at or adjacent the lateral margins of the slidable panel 12, and particularly adjacent the ends of the bottom rail 33.
  • Each of these vertically adjustable support means may comprise a support 48 that is suitably fixedly secured between the edge flanges 4t] and 41 and which receive in a tapped vertically extending bore therein a threaded stud 49.
  • Such threaded stud 49 carries a suitable control nut or ring 50 in a fixed vertical position thereon, which nut 50 is provided with a plurality of radially inwardly extending, circumferentially spaced holes or bores 51 for receiving a suitable tool by which the nut 50 can be engaged for turning the stud 49 in relation to the block 43.
  • the vertical position of the lower end of the stud 49 which normally is of a reduced diameter as indicated at 52, and which is adapted to seat in a suitable recess or hole 53 provided in the upper surface of the shoe 44 can be varied to change the angular relation of the panel 12 to the shoe.
  • the vertically adjustable means 47 aid in maintaining the shoe 44 and bottom rail 33 in fixed association with each other and prevent any relative movement therebetween as the vertically adjustable support means 47 hence transmit most of the load carried by the bottom rail 33 onto the shoe 44 for supporting the slidable panel 12 in the window assembly 10.
  • FIG. 3 indicates that these control nuts 50 are exposed at the lateral margins of the slidable panel 12 to adjust the vertical positioning thereof and hence controlling the vertical or angular relationship of the glass panel 34 and means carried thereby with relation to the position of the shoe 44 on the floating sill 25, as described hereinafter in some further detail.
  • a block or pad 54 of resilient material that is positioned intermediate the edge flanges 42 and 43 of the shoe and engages the bottom rail 33 intermediate the ends thereof for load transfer to the shoe 44 at a central area thereof.
  • Such block 54 can be made of any suitable height and length and from any suitable material such as foamed polyurethane, cellular rubber, or the like, so that the vertical positioning of the bottom rail 33 and means carried thereby can still be varied with relation to the shoe 44 by the end supports 47 but with some load transfer to the shoe being effected intermediate such support means 47, as well.
  • FIG. 4 shows such block positioned adjacent an end of the shoe 44 but normally the block would be spaced appreciably from the panel and shoe ends.
  • a block of neoprene sponge about 12 to 14 inches long would be placed centered on a shoe, for example, about 48 inches long.
  • the shoe 44 and slidable panel 12 of which such shoe is a part is adapted to be magnetically floated in the assembly 10.
  • a plurality of elongate permanent magnets 55 FIG. 3, are. shown suitably secured to and carried by the shoe 44 on the lower surface thereof.
  • these magnets 55 each have a pair of elongate north and south poles provided therein and extending the length thereof.
  • These magnets 55 can be made from conventional materials by known processes and usually each magnet strip 55 is flexible and has a metal backing strip 56.
  • these magnets 55 can extend the effective length of the shoe 44, or if desired, a number of parallel elongate magnets of the same general construction can be used but one continuous flexible magnetic strip may be used, dependent upon the load to be supported.
  • Other permanent magnets can be used in place of the magnets 55, as desired, but preferably some type of a permanent magnet means is provided and is suitably secured to the shoe 44 to be positioned on an exposed lower surface area thereof.
  • the companion magnetic action for supporting the shoe 44 and means carried thereby is provided by a plurality of elongate permanent magnetic strips 57 that are suitably secured to and extend longitudinally of the floating sill 25 at the upper portion thereof.
  • magnets 55 also have metal backmg strips or plates 58 on their lower surfaces so that again permanent elongate poles are provided which normally extend the effective length of the magnets 57 which normally would be the exposed length of the floating sill 25.
  • the magnets 55 and 57 should be of equal strength and be provided in equal numbers on the shoe 44 and floating sill 25 whereby they can be positioned in immediately adjacent relationship and have like poles positioned immediately adjacent each other.
  • the weight supported 'by the shoe 44 can be determined and the number of and length of the magnets 55 and 57 required to float the shoe 44 and means supported thereby can be determined.
  • a plurality of the magnet strips can be positioned in adjacent parallel relationship as shown in the drawings, or when lighter windows, panels, doors or the like are provided in the assembly, then possibly only one or two of the magnet strips would be required on each component.
  • the strength of the magnets 55 and 57 can be varied by varying the mass of magnetic material carried thereby, and the thickness and/or width of the magnet strips can be changed, while the strength of the strips can be further controlled by the processing to which they are subjected in permanently magnetizing the strips and any suitable metallic or other particles embedded therein to provide the desired permanent magnetization action in the magnet strips.
  • the magnetic poles provided therein may not be exactly equal in strength.
  • we partially control such lateral forces by the provision of a plurality of low friction, plastic tguide strips 59 that are carried by the lower ends of the flanges 45 and 46 to provide a guide action by engaging an associated groove 60 formed in each of the laterally outer surfaces of the upwardly extending flanges 28 and 29.
  • Several of the strips 59 each about 4 inches long may be carried at spaced portions of the flanges 45 and 46.
  • a plurality of low friction plastic guide means such as set screws 61, FIGS. 4 and 5, are operatively engaged with threaded recesses provided in the dependent shoe flanges 45 and 46 adjacent but usually slightly spaced from the end of the flange.
  • These low friction studs or set screws, or equivalent means are adapted to extend through the flanges 45 and 46 and they have flat inner ends that slidably engage the upper edge portions of the floating sill flanges 28 and 29.
  • the shoe 44 may be considered a separate member in relation to the panel means 12.
  • the low friction guides 59, and the set screws 61 are made from a relatively hard, durable, machinable but low friction plastic material such as Delrin which is an acetal resin manufactured by The Cadillac Plastic Co. of Kalamazoo, Mich. The material is commercially available and can be readily worked and/or shaped or molded to a desired form.

  • the movable panel 12 can be positioned so as to extend at a slight angle of other than with relation to the positioning of the shoe 44 so that a tight, closed assembly can be provided for the door 12 even under these adverse operative conditions.
  • the floating sill 25 can adjust its position slightly on the bottom sill 13 in case such sill is not exactly horizontally positioned.
  • the movable door 12 can readily be provided with a selfclosing action. This is because the weight of the movable panel 12, being expressed through magnetic action onto the floating sill 25, tends to push it downwardly and hence increase the normal floating air gap which normally exists between the movable panel 12 and its support means.
  • Such air cushion provided for the movable panel usually is in the order of .050 to about .060 inch.
  • the movable door has a tendency to move towards its closed position at all times, particularly if a very slight angle such as only about one to three degrees is provided in the positioning of the bottom sill 13 to incline such sill at a slight angle towards one side of the frame means to urge the movable panel 12 in a closing direction.
