Abstract

A window construction for vehicles such as motor coaches is disclosed which includes a window panel that overlaps on the exterior of the vehicle body at least one of the edge portions defining the window opening. In particular, the window includes a window panel which is mounted to the vehicle body and on the exterior thereof at least partly covers the edges of the vehicle body which define the window opening, especially the window jams. Mounting the window panel flush with an exterior surface of the vehicle body facilitates insulation and sealing of the window and allows placement of draft seals between the exterior surface of the vehicle body and the panel so that they do not protrude into the window opening.
The hardware used to fasten the window panel to the vehicle body is affixed to the panel in a marginal portion which extends beyond the window opening so that the hardware does not protrude substantially into the window opening and into the field of view. The window panel includes a central portion for substantially covering the window opening and a marginal portion integral with and extending outwardly from the central portion for covering at least one of the edge portions defining the window opening, preferably at least one of the window jams. When the vehicle includes two or more adjacent windows separated by a post, generally the respective window jams, the marginal portions of the window panels for the adjacent openings cooperatively cover an outside surface of the post. With this construction, the panels provide a smooth substantially continuous outer surface uninterrupted by window jams or posts. This not only provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance from the outside of the vehicle, but also facilitates cleaning of the vehicle and reduces wind noise.
