Egress Window Assembly

An egress window assembly adapted to fit into a window opening in a planar panel having an interior panel side and an exterior panel side thereof, the egress window assembly comprising:

• a first frame part adapted to seat within the window opening and to abut against one of the interior panel side and the exterior panel side around the periphery of the window opening;
• a second frame part adapted to seat within the window opening and to abut against the other of the interior panel side and the exterior panel side around the periphery of the window opening, the second frame part affixed to the first frame part with the panel interposed there between;
• an egress frame part detachably mounted to the second frame;
• and
• a release mechanism allowing the egress frame part to be manually detached from the second frame part, the release mechanism includes a slide bar shiftably carried by the second frame part for movement between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a rotatable handle carried by the first frame part for moving the slide bar between the locked position where the egress frame part is secured to the second frame part and unlocked position where the egress frame part can be manually pushed from the second frame part, the slide bar is shiftably carried by the skirt flange of the second frame part,
• the each of the first frame part and the second frame part has a peripheral sill flange and a peripheral skirt flange.
