Definitions
- This invention relates to a window frame construction for principal use in manufactured housing, the frame receiving and supporting at least one window, the frame for being mounted in a window opening provided in a wall structure of the manufactured unit.
- This particular frame includes an integrally formed “J-rail” or “J-channel” portion such that ends of vinyl or aluminum lap siding applied to the exterior of the housing unit are enclosed even when dimensional changes occur due to thermal effects.
- the frame of the invention has an inner portion that encloses edges of interior wall covering, this inner portion also having an integral J-rail.
- the manufactured housing industry has undergone a significant evolution in the past two decades. Initially the housing units were constructed using techniques previously employed for mobile homes: small structural frame members covered with a skin of sheet metallic material. The entire unit was wrapped with the skin material and then window openings were cut out to receive window units. These window units had mounting flanges extending around the edges, with these flanges receiving screws for fastening the frames into the structural members. The back surface of the flange normally carried a compound to seal against the building skin. (This structure is illustrated in FIG. 1 A).
- the manufacturers of the homes with lap siding were faced with the problem of encasing the ends of the vinyl/aluminum lap siding to exclude rain. Also, there is often small misalignment of ends of the siding since the pieces are cut from strips, and both vinyl and aluminum expand and contract significantly under extremes of temperature.
- the solution utilized by these manufacturers to the enclosure of the ends to meet the requirements was a separate “J-rail” or “J-channel” element attached to the building frame with suitable fasteners.
- the J-rail has a fastening flange for attachment to the building, an outwardly projecting portion to cover the siding ends, and a return portion to contact the outer surface of the lap siding so that the ends are enclosed even during construction of the siding.
- this element is abutted to the outer edge of flange of the window frame (see FIG. 1 B); and in other embodiments, this element overlaps the flange to hide the flange fasteners (see FIG. 1 C).
- the J-rail element satisfactorily seals the ends of the lap siding, there are certain drawbacks. For example, there are occasionally color differences between the material of the window frame and that of the J-Rail. There is also a problem that there is separate material that must be carried to (or stored at) a site of fabrication. The main problem is the extra time that is required for its installation-measuring, cutting and fastening of separate pieces. As described in the above-referenced publication, the side J-rail members are cut longer than the height of the window and are notched at the top. Then the free end of the top J-rail flange is mitered at each end, and bent at 90° to fit over the side members.
- a special J-rail configured corner unit is utilized (see above-referenced U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,800). Unless significant care is taken during the cutting, bending and fastening of the J-rail, gaps can occur such that the finished product is less than aesthetically attractive. Caulking is recommended around the window frames prior to this installation of the J-rail units.
- the window frames for these constructions are substantially the same as in earlier manufactured homes (and for retrofit installation) with a nailing flange near the outer portion of the unit.
- the window manufacturers apparently did not consider other known windows to be of use for this type of siding. Accordingly, they have not varied the window frames significantly to match the other building fabrication changes.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a window frame construction that significantly simplifies the installation of windows into housing units with a saving of materials and labor.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a universal window frame for use in manufactured housing that increases the speed of fabrication by significantly reducing the labor of installing windows in this type of housing.
- a window frame for being received in an opening of a wall of a structure, the window frame for receiving and supporting at least one window.
- This frame has a body portion circumscribing the wall opening with a window receptor intermediate an inner portion of the body portion extending toward an inner wall of the structure and an outer portion of the body portion extending proximate an outer frame wall of the structure.
- a J-rail portion is integrally formed with the body portion so as to project outwardly from the body portion to receive and cover ends of lap siding elements applied to the outer frame wall of the structure.
- This J-rail portion includes a flange portion to receive fasteners for securing the window frame to the outer frame wall of the structure, an outwardly-extending portion to cover the siding ends, and a return portion for overlapping ends of the lap siding elements, the ends being held between the flange portion and the return portion to provide a weather seal.
- the return portion has sufficient length to provide coverage of the lap siding ends under all conditions of dimensional change due to temperature variations.
- FIG. 1A is a drawing showing one embodiment of a state-of-the-art window frame as utilized in manufactured housing fabrication where the exterior of the housing unit is made up of sheet metal or the like.
- FIG. 1B is drawing showing the use of the state-of-the-art window frame of FIG. 1A as utilized in manufactured housing fabrication where the exterior of the housing unit is lap siding, particularly vinyl or aluminum siding, and the ends of the siding are encased in a J-rail element positioned so as to abut the flange of the window frame.
- FIG. 1C is a drawing illustrating another utilization of a J-rail element for covering ends of lap siding, with this J-rail element overlapping the flange of the window unit.
- FIG. 1D is a drawing illustrating a modification of the state-of-the-art window frame that can be used with either installation practice illustrated in FIGS. 1B or 1 C.

- FIG. 3 is a cross sectional drawing of a jamb portion of a window frame according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view, partially in section, of a window frame of the present invention.
- FIG. 1A shown therein is an early wall/window structure as utilized in manufactured housing.
- the frame of the housing unit was typically a series of 2 in. ⁇ 2 in. elements 10 that were covered on the exterior with sheet metal 12 which was, in some embodiments, embossed or corrugated to give some improved visual appearance.
- sheet metal 12 which was, in some embodiments, embossed or corrugated to give some improved visual appearance.
- sheet metal 12 which was, in some embodiments, embossed or corrugated to give some improved visual appearance.
- the inner surface of this building frame was typically covered with panelling 16 , and the void between the layers was filled with insulation 18 .
- FIG. 1A illustrate upper and lower double-glazed window sashes, it will be understood that windows for a single-glazed sash are fabricated in a similar manner.
- Appropriate fasteners 24 secured the window unit to the wall, and a suitable mastic 26 on the reverse side of the flange provided sealing against the weather.
- lap siding was employed, as illustrated at 28 in FIG. 1B , this siding having a sloped surface
- the window unit 20 was installed in an opening in the wall by passing the fasteners 24 through the flange 22 into the frame members (typically into the studding 10 ′), or into sheathing 30 if such was used.
- the siding 28 was fastened to the exterior of the wall after a J-rail unit 32 was attached so as to abut the flange 22 , the J-rail covering the ends of the lap siding.
- a sealant 26 was typically employed to prevent ingress of moisture. With this construction the fasteners 24 through the flange 22 were visible in the completed building.
- FIG. 1 C A slight variation of this type of installation of a prefabricated window unit 20 is illustrated in FIG. 1 C.
- the J-rail unit 32 By installing the J-rail unit 32 over the flange 22 all of the fasteners 24 are hidden and improved weather sealing is accomplished.
- FIG. 1D illustrates an extension 34 on the body portion of the frame.
- This style of prefabricated window has also been used like that illustrated in FIGS. 1B and 1C together with a separate J-rail element 32 .
- the present invention is depicted at 36 in FIG. 2 wherein the sill portion of the invention is shown in a cut-away cross section.
- the window frame 36 is placed in an opening 38 in the building that is at least partially defined by a typical frame sill 40 and typical sheathing 42 .
- a typical wall stud 43 is illustrated.
- This window frame 36 has a body portion 44 that generally circumscribes the wall opening 38 and extends from proximate the exterior of the sheathing 42 to at least midway the thickness of the building wall, and an integral J-rail return portion 46 that extends beyond the sheathing.
- the body portion 44 is provided with a slot 48 to accept, in sliding relationship, a body extension portion 50 such that the window frame extends toward the interior 52 of the building wall. This will be described in greater detail hereinafter.
- the J-rail return portion 46 has three major components. There is a flange member 54 (typically about 11 ⁇ 2 inch wide) that provides for the attachment of the window frame 36 to the sheathing 42 using, for example, nails or screws 56 . There is an outwardly projecting member 58 having a length (typically about 3 ⁇ 4 inch) away from the sheathing 42 that is substantially the same as thickness of lap siding 60 , and a return portion 62 that, in this sill portion, extends downwardly so as to be parallel to the flange member 54 . The length of this return portion 62 , which is typically about 3 ⁇ 4 inch, is sufficient to cover the edge of the siding 60 even when the siding contracts under low temperatures.
- the distal edge of this return portion 62 has a reversely-directed bead 64 to prevent chaffing of the siding 60 during relative movement therebetween. Because this is the sill portion of the window frame, the outwardly extended portion 58 of the J-rail return 46 (and the outer edge 63 of the body portion 44 ) are sloped as indicated by the arrows at 66 to allow drainage of water.
- the body portion 44 of the window frame 36 is typically provided with a plurality of window sash retainer elements, such as depicted at 68 , 70 , and 72 as will be known to persons skilled in the art.
- the body portion 44 is provided with a slot 48 for slidably receiving a tongue portion 74 of the body extension portion 50 to adjust for wall thickness.
- This body extension portion 50 can terminate at the frame inner wall 52 of the building with a flange 76 which is fastened to the building frame as with nails or screws 78 . If the wall is relatively thin, the flange 76 would be at the position indicated at 77 .
- the body extension portion 50 can be terminated with a J-rail return 80 such that edges of interior wall covering 82 are covered, and that the wall covering 82 covers the fasteners 78 .
- the flange portion of the J-rail return substitutes for and serves the function of flange 76 .
- FIG. 2 also illustrates that portions of the window frame 36 are provided with means for joining the sill portion to jam portions, and a header portion to the jam portions. Typically, this is accomplished by providing screw-receiving bosses as at 84 . This will be discussed in greater detail in connection with a description of FIG. 4 .
- a typical jamb portion of the window frame 36 is shown in cross section in FIG. 3 .
- the embodiment of the window frame 36 illustrated has projections 88 , 90 which receive a window sash retainer 92 for securing the two sashes 94 , 96 each containing double glazing 98 , 100 .
- the void 102 between the sash retainer 82 and the window frame body member 44 is typically filled with foam insulation 104 .
- the window frame 36 can include, if desired, a window screen retainer flange 105 . Again, the sliding tongue 74 of the extension 50 in the slot 48 permits adjustment for wall thickness. Also, the interior can be terminated with a J-rail return 80 or simply by the flange 76 .
- FIG. 4 A further view of the present window frame 36 is shown in the perspective cut-away view in FIG. 4 . More specifically, this illustrates the header portion 36 A of the frame and a side jam portion 36 B, and means for joining these two portions. It will be understood that joining of other corners of the frame 36 are accomplished in a similar manner. As indicated, a portion of the header 36 A is removed at end 106 so that the J-rail return 46 thereof aligns with end 108 of J-rail return 46 of the jam portion 36 B. Although not shown, the projections 88 , 90 of the header portion 36 A are also cut back so as to have their ends in alignment with their corresponding parts of the jam portion 36 B.
- the header portion 36 A and the jam portion 36 B are joined by passing screws 110 through openings 112 in the header portion 36 A into the openings in the screw-retaining bosses 84 .
- This permits fixedly joining of the two components of the window frame 36 .
- this is the preferred method of joining the portions of the window frame 36 , it will be understood that other conventional joining methods can be used.
- the J-rail return 46 serves as a gutter element to any moisture falling upon siding of the housing unit.
- the assembled frame 36 can be inserted in an opening 38 of a building structure.
- This opening 38 can be in a building as manufactured, or in a building under renovation.
- the window frame 36 is fastened to the building using screws, nails, staples, etc. passing through the flange 54 .
- Lap siding 60 is then attached to the exterior of the building, with ends of the lap siding 60 being inserted into the slot formed by the flange 54 and the return portion 62 .
- This return portion 62 is sufficient in width to maintain coverage of the ends of the siding 60 even during contraction of the siding 60 at lowered temperatures.
- the bead 64 prevents chaffing of the siding 60 during any movement thereof.
- an inner portion of the window frame 36 is created by the addition of the extension 50 by inserting the tongue 74 into the slot 48 .
- the window frame can be adjusted for the thickness of the structure wall.
- the edge of the extension 50 can either terminate with the flanges 76 , or a J-rail return member 80 can be an integral component.
- the window frame has been developed that solves a problem of retaining and covering ends of lap siding with a singular structures, wherein the problem was solved in the prior art with separate structures. As a result, a considerable savings in time is achieved. Further, the result is a substantially improved aesthetic appearance of any building for which this improved window frame is used. While developed primarily for manufactured housing, the present window frame can be used in any building, either manufactured or stick built. It can be used in original construction, or can be installed during renovation of the building. Further, while designed primarily for use with lap siding applied to the exterior of the building, it can be used with other types of siding, some of which may abut the distal edge of the J-rail return portion 46 . In a preferred form, the window frame is fabricated from a suitable plastic material (typically vinyl) using conventional extrusion techniques.
- a suitable plastic material typically vinyl
