| 20110025090 | RIGIDIFIED WINDOW SYSTEM - A rigidified window system includes a window and at least one supporting brace. The at least one supporting brace is bonded to the surface of the window using an adhesive offering a predetermined elasticity to the bond. Moreover, the quantity, shape, width, length and height and material used to manufacture the at least one supporting brace are selected in order to allow a certain flexibility of said window and the at least one supporting brace. The elasticity of the bond and the flexibility of the window and the at least one supporting brace provide absorption of the forces created by an impact, the absorption being shared between the window, the bond and the at least one supporting brace. | 02-03-2011 |
