Abstract: A windshield assembly comprises a support panel, a windshield, and a frame, surrounding the windshield. The frame comprises a frame inboard leg, which is in contact with an inboard windshield surface. A hinge pivotally couples a frame-inboard-leg top portion of the frame inboard leg to the support panel and has a pivot axis. A channel is provided in the support panel. At least a portion of the frame-inboard-leg bottom portion, at least a portion of the frame-inboard-leg first lateral portion, and at least a portion of the frame-inboard-leg second lateral portion are located in the channel. The channel comprises a channel base leg. A seal is located in the channel between the channel base leg and the frame inboard leg.

Abstract: A windshield assembly (110) comprises a support panel (102), a windshield (112), and a frame (140), surrounding the windshield (112). The frame comprises a frame inboard leg (142), which is in contact with an inboard windshield surface (114). A hinge (160) pivotally couples a frame-inboard-leg top portion (148) of the frame inboard leg (142) to the support panel (102) and has a pivot axis. A channel (161) is provided in the support panel (102). At least a portion of the frame-inboard-leg bottom portion (150), at least a portion of the frame-inboard-leg first lateral portion (152), and at least a portion of the frame-inboard-leg second lateral portion (154) are located in the channel (161). The channel (161) comprises a channel base leg (162). A seal (180) is located in the channel (161) between the channel base leg (162) and the frame inboard leg (142).
