Abstract

A combined sealing system for connecting a panel to a frame includes a first sealing system and a second sealing system. The panel pivots relative to the frame. The first sealing system connects a first surface of the panel to a first surface of the frame, and the second sealing system connects a second surface of the panel to a second surface of the frame. The first surface of the panel is different than the second surface of the panel, and the first and second sealing systems have a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration upon the panel being positioned within the frame.

Claims (35)

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; and

a second sealing system for connecting a second surface of the panel to a second surface of the frame, wherein

the first surface of the panel different than the second surface of the panel, and

the first and second sealing systems having a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration upon the panel being positioned within the frame, wherein the first sealing system includes

an anchor positioned in one of the frame and the panel and

a slot positioned in an other of the frame and the panel.

2. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the panel pivots relative to the frame.

3. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein sealing systems are provided to respectively connect all pairs of adjacent surfaces of the panel and the frame.

4. The combined sealing system of claim 3 , wherein engagement of the first sealing system causes engagement of all sealing systems.

5. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein engagement of the first sealing system causes engagement of the second sealing system.

6. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the first sealing system provides a seal between an entire first surface of the panel to the first surface of the frame.

7. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the first sealing system is adjacent to and engages the second sealing system.

8. The combined sealing system of claim 1 , wherein the anchor is positioned in the frame in an unlocked configuration and the slot is positioned in the panel.

9. The combined sealing system of claim 8 , wherein in the locked configuration, the anchor engages a surface of the slot to form a seal between the anchor and the slot.

10. 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; and

a second sealing system for connecting a second surface of the panel to a second surface of the frame, wherein

the first surface of the panel different than the second surface of the panel,

the first and second sealing systems having a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration upon the panel being positioned within the frame,

the first sealing system includes at least one cam positioned within the frame,

the cam engages a sealing frame,

the sealing frame engages the second sealing system,

the sealing frame engages a third sealing system and a fourth sealing system, and

the third and fourth sealing systems each include at least one adjacent pair of steps.

11. The combined sealing system of claim 10 , wherein the first surface of the panel is positioned opposite the second surface of the panel.

12. The combined sealing system of claim 10 , wherein relative movement between the adjacent pair of steps causes engagement of the third and fourth sealing systems.

13. The combined sealing system of claim 10 , wherein one of the adjacent pair of steps is connected to the sealing frame.

14. 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;

a second sealing system for connecting a second surface of the panel to a second surface of the frame; and

a sealing frame connecting the first sealing system to the second sealing system, wherein

the first surface of the panel different than the second surface of the panel, and

the first and second sealing systems having a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration upon the panel being positioned within the frame, wherein

the sealing frame engages a third sealing system and a fourth sealing system.
