Individual frame pieces top, bottom and sides, are cut to desired lengths and joined to form a glazable frame. Shapes other than of rectangular geometry are obtainable through use of variously angled joiners. Peripheral grooving on both frame faces is receptive of a spline that secures the planar mesh or membrane to the frame. which is then dogged to or otherwise secured in place on/over an opening such as a window, door or the like. Corner elements of the construct also serve as joiners; and, one spline may also comprise a weather strip.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 5, 1997 and granted May 14, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 5, 2017.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 5, 2019.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
