Frames are disclosed for mounting windows within the walls of enclosures for isolating or sealing substances such as radioactive or other hazardous substances from the surrounding environment. In a first embodiment of the present invention, a window assembly includes a two-piece frame that is welded into the wall of an enclosure. In a second embodiment of the present invention, a window assembly includes a three-piece frame that is clamped to the wall of an enclosure. The frame assemblies may also be used to mount structures other than windows to enclosure walls, such as ducts or pipes intended for passing power, gas, vacuum, or other utilities into the interior of an enclosure.

The invention claimed is: 1. A frame system comprising: a non-glass wall surrounding an aperture therethrough; a first frame member having a ledge surrounding central opening in the first frame member and a raised portion extending perpendicular to and surrounding the ledge; a lip formed in the first frame member around an outer peripheral edge of the raised portion, the lip having a first surface abutting an inside surface of the non-glass wall and a second surface lying within an inside periphery of the aperture passing through the non-glass wall; a plurality of threaded holes formed in a mounting surface on the raised portion of the first frame member; a second frame member having a mounting surface and an opposing clamping surface surrounding a central opening in the second frame member, wherein the clamping surface of the second frame member abuts against an untapped region of an outside surface of the non-glass wall; a plurality of holes extending through the second frame member, wherein the plurality of holes extending through the second frame member is spaced for alignment with the plurality of threaded holes in the first frame member; a third frame member having a clamping surface surrounding a central opening in the third frame member, wherein the clamping surface of the third frame member is adapted to abut against the mounting surface of the second frame member and overlie the ledge of the first frame member; and a plurality of holes extending through the third frame member, wherein the plurality of holes extending through the third frame member is spaced for alignment with the plurality of threaded holes in the first frame member and the second and third frame members are fastened to the first frame member with a first plurality of threaded fasteners. 2. The frame system of claim 1, wherein the non-glass wall is a portion of a sealed enclosure, and further comprising: a plate having peripheral inner and outer portions surrounded by legs of a U-shaped gasket disposed about the plate, wherein the plate is seated on the ledge of the first frame member, and wherein the clamping surface of the third frame member is fastened to the mounting surface of the second frame member with the plurality of threaded fasteners and compresses the legs of the U-shaped gasket between the first and third frame members. 3. The frame system of claim 2, wherein the sealed enclosure comprises a glove box or a hot cell. 4. The frame system of claim 2, wherein the plate comprises a window. 5. The frame system of claim 4, wherein the window is impregnated with a radiation-absorbing material. 6. The frame system of claim 2, wherein the plate comprises one of steel, plastic, or a resin-based composite material. 7. The frame system of claim 2, wherein the plate comprises a rim of a duct or pipe. 8. The frame system of claim 1, further comprising a second plurality of threaded fasteners, wherein the second plurality of threaded fasteners underlies the third frame member and fastens the second frame member to the first frame member. 9. The frame system of claim 1, wherein the first frame member, the second frame member, and the third frame member each comprises stainless steel. 10. The frame system of claim 1, wherein either the lip of the first frame member includes a sealing element adapted to seal against the inner surface of the non-glass wall, the clamping surface of the second frame member includes a sealing element adapted to seal against an outer surface of the non-glass wall, or both the lip of the first frame member and the clamping surface of the second frame member include sealing elements. 11. The frame system of claim 10, wherein the sealing element has a keyhole-shaped cross section and is seated in a channel formed in the lip of the first frame member or the clamping surface of the second frame member. 12. A frame system, comprising: a non-glass wall; a first frame member having a ledge surrounding a central opening in the first frame member and a raised portion extending perpendicular to and surrounding the ledge; a lip formed in the first frame member around an outer edge of the raised portion, the lip having a first surface abutting against an inside surface of the non-glass wall and a second surface lying within an inside periphery of an aperture passing through the non-glass wall; a plurality of fastener-receiving holes formed in a mounting surface on the raised portion of the first frame member; a second frame member having a mounting surface and an opposing clamping surface surrounding a central opening in the second frame member, wherein the clamping surface of the second frame member abuts against an untapped region of an outside surface of the non-glass wall; a plurality of holes extending through the second frame member, wherein the plurality of holes extending through the second frame member is spaced for alignment with the plurality of fastener-receiving holes in the first frame member; a third frame member having a clamping surface surrounding a central opening in the third frame member, wherein the clamping surface of the third frame member is adapted to abut against the mounting surface of the second frame member and overlie the ledge of the first frame member; and a plurality of holes extending through the third frame member, wherein the plurality of holes extending through the third frame member is spaced for alignment with the plurality of fastener-receiving holes in the first frame member. 13. A frame system comprising: a non-glass wall surrounding an aperture therethrough; a first frame member having a ledge surrounding a central opening in the first frame member and a raised portion extending perpendicular to and surrounding the ledge; a lip formed in the first frame member around an outer peripheral edge of the raised portion, the lip having a first surface abutting a first surface of the non-glass wall and a second surface lying within an inside periphery of the aperture passing through the non-glass wall; a plurality of threaded holes formed in a mounting surface on the raised portion of the first frame member; a second frame member having a mounting surface and an opposing clamping surface surrounding a central opening in the second frame member, wherein the clamping surface of the second frame member abuts against a second surface of the non-glass wall; a plurality of holes extending through the second frame member, wherein the plurality of holes extending through the second frame member is spaced for alignment with the plurality of threaded holes in the first frame member; a third frame member having a clamping surface surrounding a central opening in the third frame member, wherein the clamping surface of the third frame member is adapted to abut against the mounting surface of the second frame member and overlie the ledge of the first frame member; a plurality of holes extending through the third frame member, wherein the plurality of holes extending through the third frame member is spaced for alignment with at least some of the plurality of threaded holes in the first frame member and the second and third frame members are fastened to the first frame member with a first plurality of threaded fasteners; and a second plurality of threaded fasteners, wherein the second plurality of threaded fasteners underlies the third frame member and fastens the second frame member to the first frame member.
