COMBINATION SEALING SYSTEM FOR SLIDING DOOR/WINDOW
A combined sealing system for connecting a panel to a frame includes a first sealing system and a second sealing system. The first sealing system connects a first surface of the panel to a first surface of the frame, and the first sealing system has a first movable member movable along a first direction. The second sealing system connects a second surface of the panel to a second surface of the frame, and the second sealing system has a second movable member movable along a second direction. The combined sealing system has an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration. In the unlocked configuration, the panel is movable relative to the frame along a third direction. The first and second directions not parallel to the third direction.
1 . A combined sealing system for connecting a panel to a frame, comprising:
a first sealing system for connecting a first surface of the panel to a first surface of the frame, the first sealing system having a first movable member movable along a first direction; and
a second sealing system for connecting a second surface of the panel to a second surface of the frame, the second sealing system having a second movable member movable along a second direction, wherein
the combined sealing system having an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration,
in the unlocked configuration, the panel movable relative to the frame along a third direction, and
the first and second directions not parallel to the third direction.
2 . The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the first surface of the panel is substantially perpendicular to the second surface of the panel.
3 . The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second directions are substantially perpendicular to the third direction.
4 . The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein engagement of the first sealing system causes engagement of the second sealing system.
5 . The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the panel linearly slides relative to the frame.
6 . The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second movable members is disposed within the frame.
7 . The combined sealing system of claim 4 , both of the first and second movable members are disposed within the frame.
8 . The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first and second movable members is a split anchor.
9 . The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction.
10 . The combined sealing system of claim 1 , further comprising a third sealing system, and in the locked configuration, the panel is connected to a second panel with the third sealing system.
11 . A combined sealing system for connecting a first panel to a frame and a second panel, the first panel linearly sliding relative to the frame and the second panel, comprising:
a first sealing system for connecting a first surface of the first panel to a first surface of the frame, the first sealing system positioned within the frame and having a first movable member movable along a first direction towards the first panel; and
a second sealing system for connecting a second surface of the first panel to a second surface of the frame, the second sealing system positioned within the frame and having a second movable member movable along a second direction substantially perpendicular to a plane defined by the first panel, wherein
the combined sealing system having an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration.
12 . The combined sealing system of claim 11 , wherein the first surface of the panel is substantially perpendicular to the second surface of the panel.
13 . The combined sealing system of claim 11 , further comprising a third sealing system for connecting a third surface of the first panel to a surface of the second panel.
14 . The combined sealing system of claim 13 , wherein engagement of the second sealing system causes engagement of the first sealing system and the third sealing system.
15 . The combined sealing system of claim 11 , wherein engagement of the second sealing system causes engagement of the first sealing system.
16 . The combined sealing system of claim 11 , wherein the second movable member is a split anchor.
