Abstract
A window device comprising: a window, window frame, a window holder element, to which the window is attached along a periphery of the window, a window-motion dampening element, and a coupling device via which the window holder element is in engagement with the window frame. The coupling device comprises a projection and a guide recess and is arranged at the inner periphery of the window frame and, from a normal operation position of window, it allows motion of the window holder element in a first direction in which the window holder element is arranged to compress and deform the dampening element, but prevents the window holder element from moving in an opposite second direction.

A window device comprising:
- a window,
- window frame,
- a window holder element, to which the window is attached along a periphery of the window,
- a window-motion dampening element, and
- a coupling device via which the window holder element is in engagement with the window frame, wherein
- the dampening element is arranged between window holder element and the window frame and is arranged to be compressed and deformed by the window holder element upon motion of the window and the window holder element in a first direction, which is perpendicular to the main extension plane of the window,
- wherein
- the coupling device comprises a guide recess arranged in a first of an inner periphery of the window frame and the window holder element, said guide recess being elongated and extending in its longitudinal direction in said first direction, and a projection attached to a second of said inner periphery of the window frame and the window holder element, wherein the projection extends into the guide recess and is able of sliding in the guide recess in said first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction,
- and that, in a normal operation position of the window in which the dampening element is not compressed and is positioned between the window holder element and the window frame, the projection of the coupling device is located at a first end of the guide recess, such that motion of the window holder element in the second direction is prevented but motion of the window holder element in the first direction is allowed by the coupling device.
