PITTSBURGH — The new Flex
seal Bomb Glass units open auto
matically in four triangular sec
tions when an explosive force
strikes. This release of pressure
prevents the window frame from be
ing blown in and greatly reduces the
possibilities of flying fragments.
The window consists of three lay
ers laminated into a single unit. The
outer layer is a sheet of glass, the
middle layer a sheet of polyvinyl
butyral plastic, and the inner layer
is four triangular shaped pieces of
glass. The plastic layer extends be
yond the glass edges and is bolted
to the window frame to serve as
hinges, permitting the four seg
i ments to open like doors when the
outer plate of glass is broken.
After an explosion of sufficient
force to open the bomb window, the
four segments may be returned to
position and retained there by a
bolt, as shown above, or even a wad
of chewing gum. The crevices may
then be closed with adhesive tape,
putty, clay or whatever is handy,
and the restored window again af
fords protection from cold, rain,
storms, etc., until such time as the
glass may be replaced.
