Publication number: 20080086960Abstract: A blast-resistant window assembly (19), including a window opening (22), and a window (20) sized to fit within the window opening. The assembly further includes at least one anchor (28), which consists of a base plate (60) connected to the window opening. The anchors have a tongue (36), which is connected to the window and is fixed to the base plate at a shear region (61) that is configured so that under force of a blast against the window, the tongue shears away from the base plate, thereby absorbing energy of the blast.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2007Publication date: April 17, 2008Inventor: Mordechay Emek

Patent number: 7134243Abstract: There is described a profiled sash section for a window sash holding a window pane and intended for being installed in an outer frame of a blast resistant window. The sash section includes a main member enabling inter-engagement between the profiled sash member and the outer frame a window pane holding member for accommodating and securing an end portion of said window pane in the profiled sash member, and a reinforcing member designed to support the end portion of the window pane and to transmit blast pressure, if incidentally applied to the window pane, to the main member. For at least partially absorbing blast pressure energy applied to the window pane, the sash section is provided with damping means for deforming up to predetermined limit. Also described is a blast-resistant framework for a casement window, including the window sash assembled from the mentioned profiled sash sections and adapted for rigidly and air-tightly securing the window pane in the holders of the profiled sash members.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2002Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Arpal Aluminium Ltd.Inventor: Mordechay Emek
