Definitions

  • This invention relates to mounting strips for glass panes. More particularly, this invention relates to an extruded plastics mounting strip for mounting a glass pane in a window frame.
  • the conventional method of mounting a glass pane in a window frame for a house or other dwelling is by means of glaziers putty which is a type of pliable feller material made from whiting and raw linseed oil.
  • glaziers putty takes a relatively long time to dry out sufficiently before it can be painted. During the drying out period, the putty is very soft and can be removed relatively easily, thereby allowing for the easy removal of the glass pane and entry into the building.
  • Another disadvantage of the conventional method lies in the fact that it is a time consuming operation to mount glass with glaziers putty.
  • a mounting strip for mounting a glass pane in a frame comprises a mounting element having an engagement formation to engage the frame, and a recess for holding at least one edge of the pane.
  • the engagement formation is in the form of a lip formation for firmly engaging the frame.
  • the mounting element may be adapted to engage a frame which comprises, in cross-section, a base member and a side member extending perpendicular to the base member, the mounting element being in cross-section, substantially in the shape of a right angled triangle having first and a second legs defining the right angled legs of the triangle and an hypotenuse, the recess extending into the triangle from the hypotenuse, parallel with the first leg.
  • the lip formation preferably extends laterally away from the first leg and is adapted to engage the free end of the side member of the frame.
  • lengths of the mounting element may be extruded and cut to the size of a glass pane to be mounted and fitted to the edges of the pane. Thereafter, the pane, including the mounting strips is pushed into the window frame from the outside until the lip formation and the strips firmly engage the free ends of the side members of the frame. The hypotenuse portion of the strip is then visible from the outside of the window and provides an even and neat finish to the mounted glass pane.
  • the arrangement ensures that it is impossible to remove the mounting strip from the outside without first breaking the glass pane. It will be appreciated that the above feature overcomes, to a large extend, a security defficiency which is present in the known method of mounting glass windows. The arrangement could obviate the necessity of installing burglar bars on window frames if laminated security glass is used instead of ordinary glass sheeting.
  • the mounting element is extruded from a synthetic resinous material.
  • the synthetic resinous material preferably consists of a thermoplastic elastomer commonly known by the trade mark SANTOPRENE. or U.P.V.C.
  • the mounting element may be extruded in a variety of different colours.
  • a customer may order the strip in a colour of his choice. This would of course obviate the necessity of painting the strip.
  • a neutral coloured strip may be used and painted subsequent to mounting. It will be appreciated that the strip may be painted immediately after mounting, as there would be no drying out period as in the case with glaziers putty.
  • the extrusion preferably includes an elongate internal cavity adjacent the recess.
  • a method of mounting a glass pane in a frame comprises the steps of fitting lengths of mounting strips as defined above to the edges of the pane and pushing the pane into the frame so that the lip formation on the mounting strips firmly engage the frame.
  • a mounting strip 10 for mounting a glass pane comprises an extruded length of thermoplastic elastomer, commonly known as SANTOPRENE.
  • the strip 10 is generally in the shape of a right angled triangle having a first leg 11, a second leg 12, which legs define the right angled legs of the triangle and an hypotenuse 13.
  • a recess 14 is provided which extends from the hypotenuse 14 into the triangle parallel to first leg 11. Recess 14 serves to accommodate one edge of a glass pane (not shown).
  • a cavity 10.1 is provided during the extrusion process to economize on material used.
  • Frame 20 comprises a base member 20.1 and two side members 20.2 extending perpendicular to base member 20.1.
  • a glass pane 21 In use, the edge of a glass pane 21 is accommodated in recess 14 as shown. Thereafter, the pane 21, including mounting strips 10 fitted to its edges is pushed into frame 20 in direction A until lip formation 15 clips over and firmly engages the free end of the side member 20.2. Contact cement may be applied to the interface 22 between side member 20.2 and mounting strip 10.
  • mounting strips 10 are used in association with a window frame 30 which is in cross-section substantially channel shaped.
  • the space 31 under the mounted mounting strip 10 is filled with a filler strip of extruded synthetic resinous material 32.
  • the filler strip 32 also features a central cavity 32.1 which is included during the extrusion process to economize on material.
