Bossier City, Louisiana Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Gordon Sales Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its innovative telescoping wall gap filler assembly. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 12024881, titled ‘Telescoping wall gap filler assembly’, introduces a dynamic solution for sealing gaps between interior partition walls and exterior building surfaces.
The assembly features two sliding frame members that form an adjustable cavity, accommodating various gap sizes. Inside this cavity, expandable foam insulation exerts outward pressure, ensuring a snug fit between the wall surfaces. Additionally, rigid or semi-rigid sound insulation materials are incorporated to enhance acoustic performance.
This design addresses common challenges in modern construction, such as thermal bridging and sound leakage, by providing a flexible yet secure seal. The use of metallic extrusions for the frame members ensures durability and ease of installation. Furthermore, the assembly includes features like splice pockets for alignment and vibration-dampening materials to enhance stability.
Based in Bossier City, Louisiana, Gordon Sales, Inc. specializes in architectural building components. Their latest patent exemplifies a commitment to developing practical solutions that meet the evolving needs of the construction industry. By addressing both structural and acoustic concerns, this innovation offers a comprehensive approach to building envelope integrity.
