Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
In a glare-reducing window assembly, wherein a sheet of transparent glass having on its one surface a number of spaced opaque film pieces is fitted in a window frame encompassing the glass and having a portion lying upon a peripheral area of said one surface of the glass, the combination with said glass and said window frame, of an opaque film strip formed on and extending along said peripheral area of said one surface of the glass, said film strip being so arranged that the film strip extends toward the center of the glass beyond said portion of the window frame whereby the window frame is made invisible by the film strip to a viewer observing the opposite surface of the glass.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
122 words
In a glare-reducing window assembly, wherein a sheet of transparent glass having on its one surface a number of spaced opaque film pieces is fitted in a window frame encompassing the glass and having a portion lying upon a peripheral area of said one surface of the glass, the combination with said glass and said window frame, of an opaque film strip formed on and extending along said peripheral area of said one surface of the glass, said film strip being so arranged that the film strip extends toward the center of the glass beyond said portion of the window frame whereby the window frame is made invisible by the film strip to a viewer observing the opposite surface of the glass.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
153 words
In a glare-reducing window assembly, wherein a sheet of transparent glass having on its one surface a number of spaced opaque film pieces is fitted in a window frame having a seal member, said seal member having a strip portion extending along and lying upon a peripheral area of said one surface of the glass, the combination with said glass and said seal member, of an opaque film strip formed on and extending along the peripheral area of said one surface of the glass so that the peripheral area of the glass, the film strip and the seal member are laid upon one another in this sequence, said film strip being so arranged that the film strip extends toward the center of the glass beyond the strip portion of the seal member whereby the seal member is made invisible by the film strip to a viewer observing the opposite surface of the glass.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
153 words
In a glare-reducing window assembly, wherein a sheet of transparent glass having on its one surface a number of spaced opaque film pieces is fitted in a window frame having a seal member, said seal member having a strip portion extending along and lying upon a peripheral area of said one surface of the glass, the combination with said glass and said seal member, of an opaque film strip formed on and extending along the peripheral area of said one surface of the glass so that the peripheral area of the glass, the film strip and the seal member are laid upon one another in this sequence, said film strip being so arranged that the film strip extends toward the center of the glass beyond the strip portion of the seal member whereby the seal member is made invisible by the film strip to a viewer observing the opposite surface of the glass.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
120 words
A glare-reducing window assembly comprising a sheet of transparent glass having a pair of opposite flat surfaces, a window frame fitting therein the sheet of glass, a weather seal strip secured to the window frame and having a lip portion lying upon a peripheral area of one of said opposite surfaces, an opaque film strip formed on and extending along the peripheral area of said one of the opposite surfaces, said film strip being so arranged that the film strip extends toward the center of the glass beyond the lip portion of said weather strip, and a number of spaced opaque film pieces formed on and substantially uniformly distributed throughout the remaining area of said one of the opposite surfaces.
