  • the mounting flange of an L-profile is inserted between the peripheral face of the window and the sash member, whereby the mounting flange is thoroughly so positioned that one of the screws may enter an opening in the retaining flange as the L-profile is displaced perpendicularly to the window pane. Subsequently, the L-profile is displaced in the longitudinal direction of the sash member, whereby the screw is displaced along an inclined edge, thereby urging the retaining flange against the window pane.
  • the mounting procedure may be cumbersome, especially if several L-profiles are to be mounted.
  • GB 504,420 discloses a window assembly comprising a window sash carrying a window pane.
  • the window pane is held in place by means of a number of V-shaped guide strips having a first flange and a second flange.
  • the first flange is provided with angled slots movable on studs or the like fixed on the sash, whereby the second flange is pushed close to the pane.
  • the first flange is located between the peripheral face of the pane an opposed face of the sash.
  • the slots are provided with an enlarged portion at an end in order for a head of the studs or the like to enter the slot.
  • it in order to mount a V-shaped guide strip, it must be thoroughly positioned so that the head of the stud or the like is exactly at the enlarged portion of the slot, so that it may enter the slot. Consequently, the mounting procedure may be cumbersome.
  • DE 1 278 721 discloses a somehow similar window assembly, whereby the window pane is held in place by means of a profile, a mounting flange of which having angled slots movable on studs on the sash in order to press a retaining flange against the window pane.
  • the mounting flange is directed away from a side of the window pane.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a window assembly, whereby the mounting procedure is facilitated.
  • the groove is open for insertion of the fastening element through one of the end faces of the mounting flange, and the first end of the inclined edge is located at said end face.
  • the mounting flange forms a bridge over the groove at said end face. Thereby, stability and integrity of the retaining member may be ensured.
  • the groove comprises a substantially wedge-shaped opening section opening out in said end face of the mounting flange.
  • the opening of the groove in said end face of the mounting flange has a cross-sectional dimension that is at least 1,5, and preferably 2, times the largest diameter of a head of the fastening element.
  • the groove has a substantially tapered cross-section corresponding substantially to a head of the fastening element.
  • a screw having a countersunk head may be used as the fastening element.
  • the inclined edge of the groove is serrated.
  • the fastening element may better maintain its position along the inclined edge of the groove, thereby facilitating and securing the tensioning the retaining member against the window pane.
  • each sash member is provided with a profile covering the area between the peripheral face of the window pane and the sash member, and the profile is snap-connected to a flange of each retaining member.
  • the second side of the window pane may be sealed against the sash and/or the transition between the window pane and the sash may be covered visually for aesthetic reasons.

  • the present invention further relates to a method of mounting a window pane in a window sash being composed by four sash members each having a flange adapted to abut a first side of the window pane, whereby a number of fastening elements are fixed to the sash member, whereby the window pane is inserted into the window sash so that the first side of the window pane abuts the flange of each sash member, whereby a number of retaining members are mounted along each sash member so that a mounting flange of each retaining member is located in a space between a peripheral face of the window pane and the sash member, and whereby each retaining member is displaced in the longitudinal direction of the respective sash member so that a corresponding fastening element slides along an inclined edge of a groove of the mounting flange, thereby urging a retaining flange of said retaining member against a second side of the window pane.
  • the method is characterized by that the fastening element enters the groove of the mounting flange through an end face of the mounting flange during the displacement of the retaining member in the longitudinal direction of the respective sash member.
  • the fastening element passes a bridge formed over the groove in the mounting flange at said end face.
  • the fastening element is guided into the groove by a substantially wedge-shaped opening section opening out in said end face of the mounting flange.

  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective, partially cross-sectional view of a detail of the window assembly in Fig. 1 , whereby a retaining member 7 located in the cross-sectional plane has not been cut through.
  • the sash members 4 are made of wood, and the sash member 4 has a main body 8 with an inclined face 9 in order for water not to collect in the sash 2.
  • the sash members may be made of any suitable material, such as, for instance, a pultruded composite material.
  • the flange 5 abuts the first side 6 of the window pane 3 by means of an intermediate sealing strip 10.
  • the window pane 3 is shown as an isolating pane comprising three glass layers; however, any suitable pane may be employed.
  • the invention is advantageous in the case of window panes comprising more layers of glass mounted in a slimline sash, as in this case relatively little sash material may be available for mounting a retaining member outside the space between the peripheral face of the pane and the sash.
  • the retaining member 7 may be injection moulded; however, any suitable manufacturing method is possible.
  • each retaining member 7 has a mounting flange 11 and a retaining flange 12.

  • the groove 18 is open for insertion of the screw 17 through the first end face 14 or the second end face 15, respectively, of the mounting flange 11, and the first end 20 of the inclined edge 19 is located at said end face 14, 15 of the mounting flange 11.
  • the mounting flange 11 forms a bridge 22 over the groove 18 at said end face 14 of the mounting flange 11.
  • the bridge 22 may extend over a longer part of the groove 18, in fact it may extend over the entire groove.
  • the bridge 22 may provide stiffness and integrity to the retaining member 7. As shown in the figures, the bridge 22 is flush with a top face 33 of the retaining member 7; however, it may also protrude up from this top face 33.
  • the groove 18 comprises a substantially wedge-shaped opening section 23 opening out in the first end face 14 or the second end face 15, respectively, of the mounting flange 11.

  • the retaining member 7 advantageously is symmetrical about a not shown centreline so that it comprises two symmetrically arranged grooves 18 having wedge-shaped opening sections 23 at the respective end faces 14, 15.
  • the retaining member 7 may "find" and connect to a screw 17 by displacement in either direction longitudinally in relation to the sash member 4 and consequently the distribution and positioning of a number of retaining members 7 may be easier.
  • each retaining member may be mounted by the following steps:
