Benefits of technology

[0007] The invention provides a method and apparatus for storing and protecting a window assembly on all exposed surfaces. The method and apparatus provide a bag that can be used following manufacture of the assembly up through the time that the window assembly is installed. The method and apparatus provide a bag configured to seal the window assembly therein

Problems solved by technology

The window assemblies are no different from any other product in that, without adequate protection during shipping, they can become easily damaged prior to their use in the field.
Unfortunately, this type of damage is liable to occur at any time subsequent to manufacturing up until the time the window assembly is installed.
In addition, a window assembly can also become marked or stained anytime prior to or after installation.
For example, during storage after manu

Embodiment Construction

[0018] The following detailed description is to be read with reference to the drawings, in which like elements in different drawings have been given like reference numerals. The drawings, which are not necessarily to scale, depict selected embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Skilled artisans will recognize that the examples provided herein have many useful alternatives that fall within the scope of the invention.

[0019] The structure of the system is generally referred to herein as a bag; however, the structure can also be referred to as a carrier, a container, a sack, or other like terms. Preferably, the structure of the system (i.e., the bag) is adapted for securely storing and protecting window assemblies therein. In certain embodiments, the bags are used to accommodate window assemblies for a time period following their manufacture up until after the assemblies are installed in the field. Typically, this time period accounts for after-assembly s...

Abstract

The invention provides methods and equipment for storing and protecting window assemblies. In certain embodiments, there is provided a bag configured to hold a window assembly therein following the assembly's manufacture up until after the installation of the assembly. The bag is configured to be sealed and to be form-fitted to the window assembly. As such, the likelihood of the bag allowing contaminants therein or catching on something and tearing is reduced. Following the installation of the window assembly, a portion of the bag is configured for removal from the exposed surfaces of the window assembly. A portion of the bag not removed is subsequently utilized as a protective barrier for the non-exposed surfaces of the window assembly. In certain embodiments, there is provided a method for storing and protecting a window assembly using a bag of the described nature.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] The present application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application 60 / 678,736, filed May 6, 2005, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to window assemblies. More particularly, this invention relates to mechanisms used for storing and protecting the assemblies during a period of time which extends from just after the window assembly is manufactured until after the window assembly is installed. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] In most industrialized countries, it is customary for manufacturers to distribute or ship products in packages. One primary reason for using such packaging is to protect the product during shipping so that the product is received by the consumer in generally the same condition as it was when initially sent from the manufacturer. As a result, the consumer is more likely to be satisfied with the product after removing it from the packa...
