ELECTRO-OPTIC WINDOW ASSEMBLY EMI SHIELD
First Claim
1. An aircraft window foam mounting assembly comprising:
- an exterior pressure pane frame including an inner surface and an outer surface;
a pressure pane in abutting contact with the inner surface of the exterior pressure pane frame;
a foam bezel proximate a periphery of the pressure pane and defining an inner opening, the foam bezel including an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall includes a channel;
an electrochromic element disposed in the opening and configured for reception in the channel of the inner wall; and
an electrically conductive member operably coupled to the foam bezel and extending from the inner wall to the outer wall.

Abstract
An aircraft window foam mounting assembly having an exterior pressure pane frame including an inner surface and an outer surface. A pressure pane is in abutting contact with the inner surface of the exterior pressure pane frame. A foam bezel is proximate a periphery of the pressure pane and defines an inner opening. The foam bezel includes an inner wall and an outer wall. The inner wall includes a channel. An electrochromic element is disposed in the opening and is configured for reception in the channel of the inner wall. An electrically conductive member is operably coupled to the foam bezel and extends from the inner wall to the outer wall.
