WINDOW ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR A MOBILE PLATFORM

摘要

A window assembly (10) for a mobile platform, for example, a commercial aircraft. The window assembly includes a reveal member (14) that is retained within an opening (28) in an interior panel (24) of the mobile platform without the use of independent retaining clips or adhesives. In one embodiment the reveal member is generally rectangular in shape and includes a flange adjacent to each of the four corners thereof. The flanges engage the opening in the structural panel (24) so that the reveal member can be held in a precise position within the opening in the interior structural panel without external fastening clips or adhesives. The window assembly is lighter in weight than existing window assemblies, and can also be easily removed without special tools or disassembly procedures, and also is retrofittable to existing mobile platforms.
