Abstract
A window assembly includes two or more glass sheets and a gasket formed by curing a polymeric gasket material in situ on the glass sheets to encapsulate a marginal peripheral edge thereof and form a hinge between the glass sheets. The hinge is formed as a narrow cross sectional area between portions of the gasket adhered to adjacent peripheral edges of the two glass sheets. The hinge permits the glass sheets to be moved relative to one another. Thus, the glass sheets and gasket can be formed in a substantially planar configuration, can be shipped in said planar configuration, and then can be adjusted to fit into openings in a vehicle or building in a desired configuration.
