- a plywood board of 280mm x 250mm size and 18mm thickness is used as substrate to hold the test corner clip 100.
- Four corner clips 100 are used to hold a 150mm x 150mm glass panel 310 of 6mm thickness.
- Each corner clip 100 is fastened to the plywood board using two wood screws.
- the flat glass panel 310 is then replaced with an equivalent steel plate so that the load bearing capacity of screws and corner clip 100 can be measured.
- the corner clip 100 used in this test is made of Aluminum 5052 alloy using machining process and is give a golden color coating through anodisation process.
- FIG. 9 depicts the shear strength result of the corner clip.
- the maximum load carrying capacity of the individual corner clip will be around 100-125 kg irrespective of the span.
- the test setup is similar to the setup used for the shear test.
- the plywood substrate is held firmly by the INSTRON 5982 universal testing machine
- the flat glass panel 310 has been replaced with an equivalent steel plate with extended holding grip at the centre.
- the holding grip is pulled by the INSTRON 5982 universal testing machine at a rate of 1mm/min.
- FIG. 10 depicts the pull out strength result of the corner clip.
- the nylon side screw failed during the test after taking a maximum load of 200 kg.
- the shear strength and the pullout strength tests conducted on the corner clip 100 system shows that it is capable of taking a shear load of 250kgf when four corner clips 100 are used for installation. They can also take a pullout load of 200kgf.
- the glass panel 310 is much lighter than these values. For example a 1000mm x 1000mm glass panel with 6mm thickness will weigh 15kg. The weight of 3000mm x 3000mm glass panel having 6mm thickness will weigh 135kg.
- Majority of glass panel 310 are manufactured at sizes less than 3000mm x 3000mm dimension due to the manufacturing limitations of such glass panel 310 and difficulties in handling and transport. Hence even considering the 3000mm x 3000mm x 6mm size there is a safety factor of 1.5. Hence the corner clip 100 can be considered safe for installation of standard sizes of glass panel 310 available from the factory as well as from the open market.
- a plywood board of 280mm x 250mm size and 18mm thickness is used as substrate to hold the test channel clip 200.
- One single sided channel clip 202 and one double sided channel clip 201 is used to hold a 150mm x 150mm glass panel of 6mm thickness.
- the channel clip 200 is fastened to the plywood board using two wood screws in the bottom and two in the top.
- the Flat glass is then replaced with an equivalent steel plate so that the load bearing capacity of screws and channel clip 200 can be measured.
- the channel clip 200 used in this test is made of Aluminum 5052 alloy using machining process and is anodized to prevent corrosion.
- the maximum load carrying capacity of the single channel clip 200 for 1mm deformation is found to be 150kgf for the first trial.
- the channel clip 200 made up of different engineering polymer materials such as Nylocast, Acrylic, Derlin, polypropylene and polycarbonate.
- a new test method has been developed to understand the load carrying capability of the channel clip 200 by a shear pull using specially designed steel plates. The samples are studied on a universal testing machine at a deformation rate of 1mm/min. The maximum shear failure load and the deformation of the channel clip 200 is recorded during the study. The peak failure load and load to deform 1mm are used for understanding the strength of this channel clip 200 under shear load.
- Tests are performed on an INSTRON 5982 universal testing machine by using a tensile fixture. Though the final application is for holding the glass panel , a 150 mm x 150 mm specially designed steel plate is used to apply a shear load to the channel clip 200 (Schematic is shown in Fig. 1 ) throughout the experiments.
- the result obtained after the shear strength test of the channel clip 200 is shown in FIG.11 . It is observed that the Delrin and Polycarbonate channel clip 200 will have similar strengths under shear load. Since the projection clearance for the channel clip 200 is only 1 mm, it is more important to look at the load required to deform the channel clip 200 for 1 mm. Hence, for a maximum deformation of 1mm, Delrin has shown at least 7% higher strength compared to that of polycarbonate. The failure modes for most of the samples are similar and have shown yielding failure near the screws which connects the channel clip 200 and the base substrate (plywood). The failure mode for various samples is performed by brittle breakage and is shown in FIG.12 . Load-deformation response of different single channel glass mounting channel clip 200 under shear pull load.
- the maximum load carrying capability of Acrylic material for the channel clip 200 is 3 to 4 times lower compared to the other such as Nylocast, Delrin, Polypropylene and Polycarbonate.
- Delrin and Polycarbonate are preferred candidates for manufacturing channel clip 200 due to its color matching with the glass panel 310 and transparent nature respectively.
- One or more materials such as polyester, thermoplastic polyurethanes, thermoplastic elastomers, polyimide, PEEK is also preferred to manufacture corner clip 100 and channel clip 200.
- the process 1300 of mounting glass panel using the corner clip is depicted in FIG.13 .
- the corner clip 100 is used to install glass panel 310 by mechanically holding the glass panel 310 in four corners on the mounting surface 330.
- This glass installation process 1300 further comprises the step 1310 of pasting first support member 130 on the base 120 and also pasting one or more second support member 320 on the glass panel 310 to give support to the glass panel 310 as well as counter the uneven surface of the mounting surface 330. Then marking hole location for each corner clip 100, drilling holes and then then mounting the corner clip 100.
- Two adjacent corner clips 100 are mounted at first and then glass panel 310 is slid in to those corner clips 100. Then the other two corner clips 100 are mounted 1320 to firmly hold the glass panel 310 on the mounting surface 330.
- a horizontal base line has to be marked on the mounting surface 330 of installation using a spirit level or laser plumb line.
- the glass panel 310 to be mounted is placed on the mounting surface 330 with its bottom aligned to the horizontal line marked on the mounting surface 330.
- the corner clip 100 assembly is inserted in to the four corners of the glass panel 310 in the same way how it will appear after installation.
- a sharp pencil is used to mark the edges of the corner clip 100 on the mounting surface 330 so that later base 120 can be placed and hole location can be marked.
- Glass panel 310 is then removed and the hole locations are marked and drilled to insert wall pegs.
- the bottom left and right corner clip 100 assembly is mounted on the mounting surface 330 with the slide arresting corner screw 410 firmly tightened 1330.
- the top corner clip 100 bases are fixed on the wall using the holes drilled before.
- the glass panel 310 is inserted in to the bottom corner clip 100 and held in position.
- the top corner clip 100 holding sections are slided diagonally from the corners to hold the glass panel 310 firmly 1340.
- the slide arresting screw 410 is installed on the top corner clip 100 and firmly tightened to prevent slipping 1350. This completes the glass installation and it is ready for use 1360.
- the process 1400 of mounting glass panel using the channel clip is depicted in FIG.14 .
- the channel clip 200 is used to install glass panel 310 by mechanically holding the glass panel 310 at the bottom and top edges.
- the glass panel 310 installation process comprising the step of pasting 1410 the first support member 230 on the base 210 of the single sided clip 202 and the base 250 of the double sided clip 201 and one or more second support member 320 is pasted on the rear side of the glass panel 310 to give support to the glass panel 310 as well as counter the uneven mounting surface 330. Then marking hole location for the channel clip 200 having a double sided clip 201 and a single sided clip 202, drilling holes and then mounting the channel clip 200.
- the single sided clip 202 is mounted at first 1420 and then glass panel 310 is slid 1430 in to the L-gripper 240. Then the top double sided clip 201 is mounted to firmly hold the glass panel 310 in place 1440.
- the glass panel 310 can be installed using two double sided clips 201 or one single sided clip 202 and one double sided clip 201.
- a horizontal base line has to be marked on the wall of installation using a spirit level or laser plumb line.
- the single sided clip 202 with support cushion is placed on the wall and aligned to the horizontal base line.
- the channel clip screw holes 150 are marked on the walls and holes are drilled and pegged. Using screws the bottom channel clip 200 is firmly mounted on the wall.
- a flat surface such as a metal rod or ruler is used to ensure that the channel clip screws are not excessively tightened to prevent following the walls uneven shape.
- the glass panel 310 to be mounted is slid in to the single sided clip 202 from the top. Sliding from the side of the channel clip should be avoided to prevent making scratches on the lacquer surface behind the glass.
- the top double sided clip 201 is placed 1450 on the top edge of the glass using I-gripper 220. Now a sharp pencil is used to mark the hole locations for the double sided clip 201. After hole locations are marked, then the glass panel 310 and double sided clip 201 is removed and holes are drilled and pegged. Again the glass panel 310 is placed in position and double sided clip 201 is fixed using screws to hold the glass panel 310 firmly. Now the glass installation is complete 1460.
- a suitable rubber coating needs to be applied to metal channel gripping edges where glass and the grip come in contact with each other. This will reduce chances of glass breakage on impacts during and after installation.
