Abstract

ABSTRACT
A glazing system for use with either vertical, horizontal or inclined glazing consists of flat glazing material having parallel surfaces and linear edges and a two part glazing bar consisting of two substantially rigid sectional strips of extruded light metal, hard or hard elastic plastics material, wherein the strips each have a leg engaging over the edge of the glazing material, said legs each having a surface disposed substantially parallel to the glazing material and being substantially parallel to each other, each of which legs are in contact with one of the two surfaces of the glazing material, and wherein the two strips further include means providing a snap connection between them which forms a connecting web between the legs, at least one leg having on its surface the glazing material and parallel thereto and inwardly of the edge thereof an integral web. The web serves to remain in direct contact with the glazing material and a glazing system is thus provided which makes no use of soft resilient sealing materials but where the glazing material is contacted solely by parts of the rigid glazing bar, water channels being provided for the removal of any water which may run down the inner or outer surfaces of the glazing material.

Description

-- ~069765 This invention concerns glazing bars and more particularly a two-part glazing bar consisting of two sectional strips which are detachable from one another. The two strips are joined together by a releasable web and each have at least one leg by means of which the glazing material is held in place from each side. Sectional bars of this kind are customary in the installation of fixedly mounted glazing and serve predominantly to seal the expansion joints between adjacent glazing elements. In this case, they are symmetrical in construction, i.e. both sectional strips have a leg on each side of the connecting web.
In order to connect the bar to the glazing material in a watertight manner, soft elastic strips are generally inserted at the point of contact between the bar and the glazing material. It is an object of the invention to provide a substantially watertight connection between the glazing and the glazing bar without using a soft elastic intermediate layer. At the same time, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, water running off the glazing pane, for example condensation occurring on the inside of the glass, is prevented from running over a transverse bar from one pan to another or, in the case of glazing in an inclined position, for example in a greenhouse, from dripping off such transverse bar.

1~69765 According to the invention there is provided a glazing system consisting of flat glazing material having parallel surfaces and linear edges and a two part glazing bar consisting of two substan- -tially rigid sectional strips of extruded light metal, hard or hard elastic plastics material, wherein the strips each have a leg engaging over the edge of the glazing material, said legs each having a surface disposed substantially parallel to the glazing material and being substantially parallel to each other, each of which legs are in contact with one of the two surfaces of the glazing material, and wherein the two strips further include means providing a snap connection between them which forms a connecting web between the legs, at least one leg having on its surface facing the glazing material and parallel thereto and inwardly of the edge thereof an integral web which makes direct con-tact with the surface of the glazing material and forms wi~h the glazing material and with the surface of the leg a water channel on each side of said integral web.
The accompanying drawing shows in cross section a preferred embodiment of the invention in the form of a two legged sectional glazing bar used as a butt joint.
The two part sectional glazing bar consists of two sectional strips 1 and 2 which are connected together by means of a detachable connecting web 3, 4. Each strip has on each side of the connecting web, a leg 5, 6, the legs, in use, being more or less parallel to one another. According to this invention at least one of the legs 5 has inside the inner surface of the glazing a web 7 extending along the length of the strip. This web 7 represents the sole contact between the leg 5 and the glazing material, which means that the inner surface of the leg on both sides of the web 7 is spaced from the glazing material by an amount corresponding to the height of the web. If both the .~

1C~697~S
strips which make up the glazing bar are not constructed in this way and according to the invention, at least the strip used on the inside of the glazing is provided with webs 7.
Between the web 7 and the inner surface of the leg 5, water channels 11 and 12 are formed on each side of the web 7 after assembly. With a horizontal or inclined installation of glazing, water which has penetrated into the sectional space 13 from outside or which has formed as condensation on the inside of the glazing material 14 collects in the channels 11 or 12 and is prevented by the web 7 from passing through to the other side of the glazing.
When the bar is mounted as a transverse bar in vertical glazing, it has proved advantageous if the web 7 is narrower at its junction 8 with the leg than at the top 9 which contacts the glazing element so that the water collects in the channel formed at the base of the web and is kept away from the area of contact of top 9 with the glazing 14, which is only watertight to a limited extent. The water collecting in the channels is conducted to the ends of the sectional bar, with the result that it no longer passes to the other side of the glazing, or runs away over the bar or drips from it. It is not necessary to have any water removal system for the ~. .

condensation collecting in the outer channels 12 if condensation is only expected to form for short periods and the water can evaporate out of the channel unaided.
Sectional glazing bars according to the invention can be of one sided construction, so that they can extend around the periphery of a sheet of glazing material or they can, as shown, be of symmetrical construction to act as a butt joint. The two sectional strips 1 and 2 may be connected to one another, in any desired manner, by means of a releasable web. Resilient or snap connections wherein an edge bead 15 engages in sprung tongues 4 are particularly suitable. The sectional strips 1 and 2 may be made from light metal or from a hard or hard/elastic plastics material by extrusion.
They are suitable for installing vertical, inclined or horizontal glazing made from planar glazing materials, such as for example mineral glass, wire reinforced glass, plastics sheets and, for example, hollow sectional sheets made of plastics, consisting of two planar covering layers and intermediate webs extending perpendicular to said layers.
In order to make facilitate assembly, a threaded groove 16 may be provided in the connecting web 3.

THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION IN WHICH AN EXCLUSIVE
PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
1. A glazing system consisting of flat glazing material having parallel surfaces and linear edges and a two part glazing bar consisting of two substantially rigid sectional strips of extruded light metal, hard or hard elastic plastics material, wherein the strips each have a leg engaging over the edge of the glazing material, said legs each having a surface disposed substantially parallel to the glazing material and being substantially parallel to each other, each of which legs are in contact with one of the two surfaces of the glazing material, and wherein the two strips further include means providing a snap connection between them which forms a connecting web between the legs, at least one leg having on its surface facing the glazing material and parallel thereto and inwardly of the edge thereof an integral web which makes direct contact with the surface of the glazing material and forms with the glazing material and with the surface of the leg a water channel on each side of said integral web.
2. A glazing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein each strip has a leg on each side thereof.
3. A glazing system as claimed in claim 2 wherein each of the legs on one of said strips is provided with an integral web extending along the length of the strip.
4. A glazing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said integral web extending along the length of the strip is narrower at its junction with said leg than at its end which serves to contact the glazing material.
5. A glazing system as claimed in claim 3 wherein said integral web extending along the length of the strip is narrower at its junction with said leg than at its end which serves to contact the glazing material.
