A flashing arrangement for windows including flashing elements attached to the window frame members for providing a waterproof flashing frame around the window frame. The flashing elements at the top member and side members of the window frame are made of profiles of an elastically deformable material and have a U-shaped cross section, where the first side flange is attached to the outside of the corresponding window frame member, while the other side flange provides sealing abutment with the un...

Apparatus for making two-pane thermal windows with the panes thereof separated by plastic filaments around the edge withdraws alternate glass sheets from a conveyor line, carries them at their four edges successively past an extruding station where a plastic filament is laid down on one face thereof, combines the sheets having a plastic filament thereon with the remaining sheets, and extrudes a further filament and applies a protective tape to the periphery of the assembly. Apparatus for the man...

A wind regulator for the side window of an automobile, said regulator comprising a sheet of transparent glazing material, such as plastic or glass, having edge portions of reduced thickness for insertion into the channel guides for a windowpane received within the opening. The edge portions are designed for insertion between the windowpane channel and the soft insulating material received therein and are sufficiently thin so as to avoid distorting the insulating material to a point where it inte...

A large recreational powerboat has a forward passenger area, a helm, and a rearward passenger area. A top deck covers the forward passenger area and extends upwardly over the helm. The rearward passenger area is exposed. A large skylight window is formed streamlined with the boat and is imposed into the top deck. The window extends upwardly and forward to the helm, thereby having portions functioning as a windshield for the boat. The windshield and the skylight window transmit abundant natural l...

A lock for sliding doors and windows which is positionable over the top rail of the door or window and includes first and second adjustable bolt members. Without requiring any connection to the rail of the door or window or the door or window frame, the first bolt member holds the door or window down against the lower channel of the frame and the second bolt member holds the door or window against the side of the upper channel of the frame, locking the door or window in any desired position.

Disclosed is an improved aircraft window having RF shielding. In one embodiment, a window shield comprises an electrically conductive, transparent, flexible film, which is applied by known processes to a window pane. This shield is grounded to the aircraft frame or exterior by a "tail" of conductive material, which is secured to a ground point in the vicinity of the window pane.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing windows in a foreground and a background in a data processing system. A buffer is monitored for user input in response to receiving a request to present a pop-up window in a foreground. A determination is made as to whether the application in the foreground is an interruptible application. The pop-up window is presented in the foreground if user input is absent and if the identified application is an interruptible application.

For coupling optical windows, in particular two fiberoptics windows, a diaphragm construction is used. This ensures a homogeneous pressure distribution over the window areas and prevents sliding or tilting movements of the windows. By reducing the weight of the components to be supported by the coupling to a minimum the elastic pressure to be exerted by the diaphragm construction can be restricted.

An electrically heated window in a road vehicle provided with sensing electrodes on the window for detecting the formation of condensation and an electronic switching circuit responsive to the sensing electrodes for energising the window heater when condensation formation is sensed. For optimum efficiency one of the sensing electrodes is spaced from the heater conductors by a distance of the order of half the distance between adjacent heater conductors, and for obtaining differential sensitivity...

Windows for vehicles particularly windscreens comprise sheets of glass adhesively bonded together by means of a hot melt adhesive which is an ethylene copolymer containing from 7 to 18% by weight of methacrylic acid and sufficient methyl methacrylate such that together the methyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid constitute from 20 to 35% by weight of the copolymer and the copolymer has a melt flow index of at least 0.1 and not more than 2. Also disclosed are ethylene copolymers as defined above...
