Water-resist means for aircraft windows
View Patent ↗The subject matter of the disclosed embodiments is a device for mounting a window glass including a seal covering a peripheral edge of the window glass and provided with a strip bearing against a peripheral flat of a frame of the window. The seal includes a flange engaging in the recess of the window and is provided with a squeegee lip bearing against the edge of the frame.
1. A device for mounting a window glass, comprising:
a seal covering a peripheral edge of the window glass and provided with a band for bearing against a peripheral flat of a frame for the window glass, the band including a plurality of sealing lips that extend outwardly from an outer surface of the band and bear against the frame, which seal includes:
a flange extending perpendicularly from a junction with the band to an upturned annular edge for engaging in a recess of the frame; and
a squeegee lip extending from the upturned annular edge of the flange toward a plane of the band, the squeegee lip extending away from the upturned annular edge in a single plane separate from and intersecting a plane of the band, the squeegee lip for bearing against an edge of the frame within the recess of the frame.
2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising that the flange has an internal face for bearing against a square for assembling the window glass and for being received in the recess.
3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the flange and the squeegee lip are adapted to fill a gap between the frame and the square.
4. The device according to claim 1 for mounting a window glass wherein the seal has a U-profile forming a rabbet receiving the peripheral edge of the window glass.
5. The device according to claim 4 wherein the band comprises a branch of the U-profile, which includes the plurality of sealing lips.
6. The device according to claim 1 wherein the squeegee lip is angled to bear against a splayed portion of the edge of the frame.
7. The device according to claim 1 wherein the seal includes a U-profile strip adapted to cover the peripheral edge of the window glass.
8. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the squeegee lip is formed by a flexible elastic web.
9. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sealing lips of the band create a gap between the band and the frame.
10. A seal for a device for mounting a window glass comprising:
a U-profile strip configured to cover a peripheral edge of the window glass;
a bearing band configured to bear against a peripheral flat of a frame for the window glass, the bearing band including at least one sealing lip extending outwardly from a surface of the bearing band that bears against the frame and the at least one sealing lip creates a gap between the bearing band and the frame;
a flange extending perpendicularly away from the bearing band from an interior edge of said bearing band to a flange end; and
a squeegee lip extending from the flange end toward a plane of the bearing band, the squeegee lip extending away from the flange end in a single plane separate from and intersecting the plane of the bearing band.
11. The seal of claim 10 wherein the flange end includes an upturned extension.
12. The seal of claim 10 wherein the squeegee lip comprises a flexible elastic web.
