Abstract:
A window assembly is disclosed that allows a person to easily clean the exterior side of a windowpane, and prolongs the life of the window assembly. A window assembly (200) according to the present invention comprises a fixed window frame (202), tilt-latch assemblies (1, 2), and upper and lower window sashes (203, 204) comprised of a plurality of window sash rails, wherein each window sash rail has an outer wall (302), a front wall (300), and a rear wall (304). The tilt-latch assemblies (1, 2) secure the upper and lower window sashes (203, 204) within the fixed window frame (202). The tilt-latch assembly (1) is inserted into a slot (301) that is located on the outer wall (302) of the window sash rail for receiving a tilt-latch assembly (1). A lip (314) is located between a corner edge (212), wherein two sash rails meet to form a corner, and the outer edge (310) of the slot (308). The lip (314) can help prevent stress failure of the window sash rail.
