APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR WINDLOCKING A BUILDING OPENING

摘要

A track system (3900) for use in a windlocking apparatus is disclosed and claimed. One embodiment includes a housing piece (3902) and an interfitting piece (3901). The housing piece (3902) includes a channel (3910) and the interfitting piece (3901) includes a key (3909) which slidingly mates with the channel (3910). The housing piece (3902) and the interfitting piece (3901) each have flanges (3905, 3908) having smooth contours (3907, 3906, 3903, 3904) thereon. Another embodiment employs a track (3500) having a first piece (3501) and a second piece (3514) with the first piece (3501) having at least one groove (3504) therein and the second piece (3514) having at least one protrusion (3519) thereon. The protrusion (3519) of the second piece (3514) interfits with the groove (3504) of the first piece (3501) interlocking the first (3501) and the second (3514) pieces together.
