This disclosure is an automated method of opening and closing thermal insulation shutters used in combination with glass windows, glass sliding doors, glass walls or solar panels and the like disposed, in large buildings such as green houses, high rise commercial buildings, super markets, auto show rooms Etc. it would be advantageous to have an automated method to open and close the shutters, using electrical controls, or even computer program means to control the movement of the shutters, the shutters could be opened or closed on demand to suit the building energy requirements, allowing solar energy to enter depending on the conditions required but regardless, by removing the human element the thermal insulation shutters would become more efficient, when used to cover solar panels to improve efficiency, they would open by a light control switch to allow solar energy to heat the solar collectors and close when light is reduced to a predetermined level thereby allowing the solar collector to remain hot for longer periods of time improving the overall efficiency, thusly reducing the amount of conventional energy used to heat or cool said buildings, dwellings or commercial, our countries energy conservation program would be greatly enhanced.

Shutter shields (R), auto-mated thermal shutters for glass areas

A thermal Shutter Shield (R) device comprised of an outer periphery support frame which supports an outer glass area means and an inner glass area means in a parallel mode, the glass area means are normally called windows, glass sliding doors or glass walls including a glass peripheral frame and a glass panel installed therein, the device is further comprised of a Shutter Shield unit spaced between the glass areas, having one or more sets of horizontal and parallel extending tracks which are vertically spaced a distance at least equal to the height dimension of the glass area units, the tracks extend parallel to the plane of the glass area and beyond at least one side of the side edges of the glass area unit, a laminate insulative Shutter Shield is mounted in the track for movement between positions at the side of the glass area unit and in front thereof to block off the entirety of the glass area, the laminate insulative shield includes a frame movably supported on the track and has an imperforate surface layer and an insulation layer material mounted side by side in the frame, the imperforate surface provides a rigidifying support for the rather fragile insulation material, and a seal structure is provided for effecting a seal around the periphery of the glass panel and between the window unit and the insulative Shutter Shield, the Shutter Shield device including the inner and outer glass areas can be pre-assembled at the factory, installed in the outer periphery device support frame with the thermal shutters installed therebetween, the shutters can be manually traversed by actually reaching between the glass areas and pulling and/or pushing the thermal shutters to an opened or closed mode, or a mechanical manually cranked drive device can be used to traverse the shutters to an opened or closed mode, still further the thermal shutters can be automated by using a motorized method for driving the drive unit which will traverse the shutters to a opened or closed mode, the device being totally pre-assembled at the factory will actually reduce cost at the building site.

Shutter shields (TM) in combination with an outer and inner glass area

This invention relates to energy conserving structural elements, commonly called window or door frames with outer framing being adapted to be installed in building wall rough openings, said framing has a strip of compressible expandable thermal insulation fastened in a recess in said framing and an enveloping means maintains said thermal insulation in a compressed state until said structural element is installed in said building wall, said enveloping means is of tearable material that can be rendered inoperative allowing said thermal insulation to expand and fill said air gap, reducing heat transfer either direction through said air gap. This invention relates to all objects constructed to be inserted into other objects creating an air gap that should be sealed and thermally insulated.

Energy conserving building structural elements normally called window or

A bushing formed of insulation that can be installed in holes drilled in wood framing components, used to construct a building, such as a dwelling, these holes are drilled so plumbing pipes & electrical wiring can be installed in said framing components. Purpose of this invention is to close off & insulate these holes before the articles are installed, or after they are installed, either method would greatly reduce infiltration & heat transfer through these necessary drilled holes, reducing the energy usage in said building, helping our Countries energy conservation program.

Bushing, formed compressible insulation for insulating air space created

A thermal shutter device with vertical travel for use in combination with a window unit comprising a window frame & glass panels mounted in the window frame which is installed in a building outer periphery walls such as a dwelling, this device which is a thermal insulation construction comprising at least two thermal shutters with vertical travel & means to seal said thermal shutter device to create a sealed chamber between shutter device & window construction, the shutters can be of laminate construction with rigid insulation mounted in vertical track allowing shutters to slide up & down on compressible insulation slide means, when in closed mode they will greatly reduce heat transfer or infiltration either direction through said window construction, therefore reducing energy used to heat or cool said building, therefore helping our countries energy conservation program.

Shutter shields (R) vertical travel et al.

A solar panel device for use in combination with a window unit including a window frame and glass panels mounted in the window frame. The device is comprised of a shutter unit having one or more sets of horizontally and parallel extending tracks which are vertically spaced a distance at least equal to the height dimension of the window unit. The tracks extend parallel to the plane of the glass panel and beyond at least one of the side edges of the window unit. A laminate insulative shield is mounted in the track for movement between positions at the side of the window unit and in front thereof to block off the entirety of the glass panel. The laminate insulative shield includes a frame movably supported on the track and has an imperforate surface layer and an insulation material layer mounted side-by-side in the frame. The imperforate surface provides a rigidifying support for the rather fragile insulation material. A seal structure is provided for effecting a seal around the periphery of the glass panel and between the window unit and the insulative shield. A passageway is provided into and out of a chamber defined between the glass panel and the shield to facilitate the flow of fluid through the chamber. A solar energy absorbing material is applied to the imperforate surface.
