Abstract
Abstract An exterior window unit for covering an opening in a building wall includes a frame sill which is slidable coupled with an elongated attachment plate member to be secured to a top surface of the fixed sill of a normally present window assembly in the building wall. To effect such coupling, the frame sill has a mounting fin having engaging means with a groove formed longitudinally therethrough. The attachment plate member has an engaging member which is complementary in cross-section to and received in the groove in the engaging means. The attachment plate member is thus positionable longitudinally relative to the mounting fin so as to be able to be interposed snugly between the side jambs of the normally present window assembly.
