Abstract:

A large opening rolling door of the articulating type has multiple horizontally and vertically distributed insulative glass panes supported by a plurality of vertically disposed and horizontally disposed heat transmitting metal frame members arranged in vertical and horizontal regions respectively between adjacent glass panes. The horizontal frame members have opposed and closed or open and recessed edge volumes in the closed condition of the door; preformed, self-supporting, self-camming and self-compressing and cooperating male and female insulator bands that interfit with the open and recessed edge volumes, or insulation filled beams, in the closed condition of the door define insulation in the horizontal regions. Vertical frame members define a substantially enclosed volume in which a preformed, self-supporting insulator band is inserted into the volume to insulate the vertical regions and thus substantially the entire door against heat transmission therethrough.
