ABSTRACT:
A window and windhsield structure for vehicle bodies, and more particularly armored cars and the like provided with bulletproof glass windows and windshields. The window and windshield structure of the invention consists of a block or pane of bulletproof glass mounted in a frame having overall dimensions overlapping a porthole opening formed in the vehicle body. The lower portion of the frame is provided with a pair of rollers rollingly engaging the bottom surface of a channel permanently mounted in the interior of the body proximate the bottom edge of the opening. The framed block or pane of glass is held along its upper edge by means of an angle-iron channel strip removably mounted proximate the upper edge of the opening parallel to the lower angle-iron bracket. Windows for covering an opening in a panel disposed at an angle relative to the vertical, such as the windshield of a motor vehicle, are preferably provided with one or more rollers each having its axis of rotation disposed at a right angle relative to the axis of rotation of the rollers mounted at the bottom of the frame, the periphery of each roller engaging the inner wall surface of the removable top angle-iron channel strip, thus supporting part of the weight of the window, reducing friction and facilitating manual sliding of the window frame. The moveable window frame may be locked in any position by means of one or more wing bolts projecting through the side of the lower channel and engaging a lateral surface of the brackets holding the lower rollers.
