Abstract
A receptor buck and receptor system for securing a window or door frame. The receptor buck includes a longitudinal rack, a surface of the rack that includes an aperture for accepting a first fastener to fasten the rack to a wall opening surface, and another surface that includes another aperture for accepting a second fastener to fasten the window or door frame to the rack. The receptor system includes the rack, the first and second fasteners, and the fasteners extend in generally the same direction.
Claims42
A receptor buck for securing at least one of a window frame and a door frame, said receptor buck comprising:
- a rack extending in a generally longitudinal direction;
- a first surface on said rack and comprising a first aperture configured to accept a first fastener configured to fasten the rack to a surface of a wall opening of a structure, and
- a second surface on said rack and configured to receive a second aperture therein, the second aperture configured to accept a second fastener configured to fasten at least one of the window frame and the door frame to the rack, the second aperture further configured to accept the second fastener such that the second fastener extends in a generally same direction as the first fastener.
A receptor system for securing at least one of a window frame and a door frame, comprising:
- a receptor buck comprising a rack extending in a generally longitudinal direction;
- a first fastener configured to fasten the rack of said receptor buck to a surface of a wall opening of a structure through a first aperture on a first surface on the rack of said receptor buck;
- a second fastener configured to fasten at least one of the window frame and the door frame to the rack of said receptor buck through a second aperture on a second surface on the rack of said receptor buck;
- said second fastener extends in a generally same direction as the first fastener.
A method for securing at least one of a window frame and a door frame to a surface on a wall of a structure using a receptor buck, the receptor buck having a rack extending in a generally longitudinal direction, the method comprising:
- fastening the rack of the receptor buck to the surface of the wall opening through a first aperture on a first surface on the rack of the receptor buck using a first fastener;
- creating a second aperture in a second surface on the rack of the receptor buck;
- fastening the at least one of the window frame and the door frame to the rack of the receptor buck through the second aperture using a second fastener such that the second fastener extends in a generally same direction as the first fastener.
A method for fitting at least one of a window frame and a door frame to a surface of a wall opening of a structure using a receptor buck, the receptor buck comprising a rack extending in a generally longitudinal direction, wherein a dimension of the wall opening of the structure is smaller than a predetermined dimension, the method comprising:
- fastening the rack of the receptor buck to the surface of the wall opening through a first aperture on a first surface on the rack of the receptor buck using a first fastener;
- removing a shim originally configured to be inserted between at least one of the window frame and the door frame and the rack of the receptor buck, the shim extending in a generally same direction as the rack of the receptor buck;
- creating a second aperture in a second surface on the rack of the receptor buck;
- and
- fastening at least one of the window frame and the door frame to the rack of the receptor buck through the second aperture using a second fastener such that the second fastener extends in a generally same direction as the first fastener.
