  • 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 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 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.
