WINDOW GRILLE CLIP AND ASSOCIATED WINDOW ASSEMBLY FOR SECTIONAL OVERHEAD DOOR PANELS

摘要

A sectional overhead door includes a window and associated grille and clip for mounting on the panel of the door. The window is mounted by a frame on both the front face and back face of the sectional door panel. The window grille is mounted to the front of the door panel and couples to the frame members on the front face of the panel. The underside of the grille is juxtaposed to the window or glazing element in the frame. The rear face of the grille includes a groove and the lateral sides of each grille member include a pair of rails or channels. A uniquely designed clip fits within the groove and channels. A forwardly projecting tang extends from the central body portion of the clip and is adapted to project into a hole or opening in the window frame when the clip slides relative to the grille member. Another aspect of this invention is that selected terminal ends of the grille members are similarly configured to include tabs that seat within notches in the window frame. The end of at least one of those grille members includes an enlarged tab that seats within an enlarged notch in one of the frame members of the window. This provides for a unique orientation of the grille for installation into the window frame of the overhead door panel.
