ABSTRACT:
A fire and impact resistant window assembly comprising a multi-part centrally open marginal frame having an intermediate or inner groove which faces inwardly and first and second outer grooves which also face inwardly. The intermediate or inner groove receives marginal portions of a pane of fire glass which is thus secured in the frame and extends across the central opening thereof. The outer grooves respectively receive marginal portions of first and second panes of deflectable impact resistant polycarbonate and thus secure the panes in opposite spaced relationship with the fire glass. One pane of polycarbonate is approximately one half (1/2) inch in thickness and is spaced from the fire glass a distance of 0.35 inches. The other pane of polycarbonate is approximately one fourth (1/4) inch in thickness and is spaced from the fire glass a distance somewhat in excess of 0.35 inches. Impact loading as severe as a 44 magnum fired from a distance of 4 feet is thus accommodated on the one half (1/2) inch polycarbonate side.
