Patent ID: 8156698

Claim:
A system for mitigating the release of window glass fragments by an explosive blast pressure impact, comprising: a. a first material, having first and second ends, wherein said first material is either elastomeric or non-elastomeric; b. a second material, having first and second ends, wherein said second material is elastomeric when said first material is non-elastomeric, and wherein said second material is non-elastomeric when said first material is elastomeric; c. a cover for protecting said first material and said second material, wherein said cover comprises fasteners, wherein said fasteners are positioned to connect said cover to a wall or window frame that is proximal to an end of a window film; d. a window film bonding agent connected to said first end of said first material, wherein said window film bonding agent is disposed to attach to a proximal end of said window film; and e. a third material, having first and second ends, wherein said third material is non-elastomeric, wherein said cover releases said first and second materials upon said pressure impact of said explosive blast, wherein said first material is bonded along its second end edge to said first end edge of said second material, and wherein said second material is anchored along its second end to an inside of said cover.
