Flush egress window assembly

A window assembly comprising:

• a pane;
• a hinge;
• and
• a latch assembly comprising:
• a latch bolt housing mounted to the pane;
• a latch bolt slidingly mounted to the latch bolt housing for movement in a plane substantially parallel to the plane of the pane between a first position and a second position;
• a biasing member operative to urge the latch bolt toward the first position;
• and
• a release handle remote from the latch bolt and operative to move the latch bolt from the first position toward the second position against a biasing force of the biasing member;
• wherein the latch assembly and the hinge each is attached to the pane solely by adhesive bonding to an interior surface of the pane.

A window assembly comprising:

• a pane having an interior surface, an exterior surface, and a peripheral edge;
• a window frame extending around a full perimeter of the pane inward of the peripheral edge of the pane and attached to the pane solely by adhesive bonding to the interior surface of the pane;
• and
• a hinge member attached to the pane solely by adhesive bonding to the interior surface of the pane and operably connected to the window frame.

A window assembly comprising:

• a pane having an interior surface, an exterior surface, a top peripheral edge, a bottom peripheral edge, and two side peripheral edges;
• a window opening frame comprising a header with a hinge portion, a footer with a latching portion, and two sides;
• a hinge attached to the pane solely by adhesive bonding to the interior surface of the pane proximate the top peripheral edge of the pane and hingedly attached to the hinge portion of the header;
• a latch assembly comprising:
• a latch bolt having one or more compound mounting pin slots, the latch bolt having a beveled latch portion wherein the latch portion is operative to engage the latching portion of the footer;
• a latch bolt housing attached to the pane solely by adhesive bonding to the interior surface of the pane proximate the bottom peripheral edge of the pane and defining a cavity open in a direction substantially away from the top peripheral edge of the pane, comprising at least one mounting pin within the cavity extending in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the pane into a corresponding mounting pin slot for compound sliding movement of the latch bolt between a latched position and an unlatched position;
• a spring mounted to the latch bolt housing, operative to urge the latch bolt into the latched position;
• and
• a release handle mounted to the pane remote from the latch bolt, operative to move the latch bolt into the unlatched position against a force of the spring;
• wherein the pane extends beyond the window frame to at least partially overlay each of the frame sides.
