Abstract

An elongate glazing strip for glazing glass, panels or the like comprises a tubular first portion for containing intumescent material and adapted to fit, in use, between a pane of glass, a panel or the like (20) and a frame or glazing bar (21), and a second, glazing portion having a lip (15) for extending over a part of a frame or glazing bar, in use, the glazing portion (14) in use extending from a pane of glass, a panel or the like over at least part of an inner peripheral surface of a frame or glazing bar. The strip has a bulbous portion (13) to assist frictional engagement of the strip. <IMAGE>

Description

IMPROVEMENTS IN GLAZING The invention relates to glazing, and more particularly to glazing glass or panels with frames while including intumescent material at the periphery of the glass or panel.
It is well known to include intumescent material where a pane of glass or an infill panel is held in a frame, and a conventional method involves placing strips of intumescent material, commonly of rectangular section and protected by a corresponding rectangular section tubular sleeve of a material such as plastics, between the frame and the pane or panel and between the pane or panel and a glazing bar used to secure the pane or panel to the frame. Once the glazing bar is fixed, the joint is sealed by pointing with a material such as mastic. Thus for a complete joint, several separate operations are required.
According to the invention, there is provided an elongate glazing strip for glazing glass, panels or the like, which strip comprises a tubular first portion for containing intumescent material and adapted to fit, in use, between a pane of glass, a panel or the like and a frame or a glazing bar, and a second, glazing portion, having a lip for extending over a part of a frame or glazing bar, in use, the glazing portion in use extending between a pane of glass, a panel or the like and the inner periphery of a frame or glazing bar.
The tubular first portion is preferably generally rectangular in section, as is preferably the intumescent material.
The tubular first portion preferably includes protrusion means extending laterally outwardly for increasing frictional contact between the strip and surfaces between which the first portion lies, in use.
The protrusion means may comprise an outwardly bowed portion extending along the length of the strip. The protrusion means advantageously lies on the same side of the strip as the lip of the glazing portion.
The strip is preferably an extrusion of plastics material, such as polyvinylchloride.
The glazing portion preferably has an external glazing surface which, in use, lies at an oblique angle to the plane of a pane of glass, panel or the like being glazed.
The invention further provides a glazing strip according to the invention containing intumescent material.
The invention further provides a frame surrounding a pane of glass, a panel or the like glazed by glazing strips according to the invention.
By way of example, one embodiment of a glazing strip according to the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale of a glazing strip according to the invention; and Figure 2 is an actual size sectional view illustrating location of the glazing strip of Figure 1 located between a pane of glass and a frame.
As shown in Figure 1, a glazing strip, in this case an extrusion of polyvinylchloride, has a first portion 11 which is tubular and which contains a rectangular section strip of intumescent material 12.
The portion 11 is generally rectangular in section in order to locate the intumescent material 12 but a bulbous portion 13 is provided to increase pressure and thereby frictional location of the strip between a pane of glass, panel or the like and a frame or glazing bar in which glazing is to take place. The profile of the portion 11 is produced easily by extrusion but it is not impossible for the strip to be manufactured in other ways and of materials other than polyvinylchloride.
The strip also has a glazing portion 14 which includes a lip 15 adapted to extend over at least part of an inner peripheral surface of a frame or glazing bar in use. The glazing portion 14 has an outer surface 16 extending at an oblique angle to the plane of surface 17 which lies against a pane of glass, panel or the like in use. In this particular embodiment, the angle is 1200 between the surface 16 and the pane of glass, panel or the like but it will be appreciated that different angles may be used.
Figure 2 shows a partly completed glazed assembly where a pane of glass 20 (it will be appreciated that it could be a panel or other planar element), is to be glazed against a frame 21. In this particular arrangement, the frame 21 has a rib 22 against which the glass 20 abuts, the glazing strip being placed between the glass 20 and the rib 22. As can be seen in Figure 2, the bulbous portion 13 is compressed and this assists in retention of the glazing strip in the correct place. The lip 15 extends across part of the inner peripheral surface of the rib 22 and seals between that surface and the glass 20. The assembly is shown in complete form for purposes of clarity but a glazing bar would be necessary on the side of the glass 20 remote from the rib 22 and another glazing strip placed between the glazing bar and the glass 20. The other glazing strip may be the same as that shown in Figure 2 including intumescent material 12 or it may be a conventional glazing strip.
Intumescent materials are well known and any suitable intumescent material may be used, for example one based on sodium silicate. Properties of intumescent materials for use where fire retardant properties are required are well known.
The advantage of this embodiment of a glazing strip according to the invention is that glazing can essentially be carried out in a single operation and yet intumescent material can be included. The strip has not only a carrier for intumescent material but also a glazing portion, thereby obviating the need for a separate pointing operation involving material such as mastic.

Claims (15)

1. An elongate strip for glazing glass, panels or the like comprising a tubular, first portion for containing intumescent material and adapted to fit, in use, between a pane of glass, a panel or the like and a frame or glazing bar, and a second, glazing portion having a lip for extending over a part of a frame or glazing bar, in use, the glazing portion in use extending from a pane of glass, a panel or the like over at least part of an inner peripheral surface of a frame or glazing bar.
2. A strip according to Claim 1, wherein said first portion contains intumescent material.
3. A strip according to Claim 2, wherein said intumescent material is based on sodium silicate.
4. A strip according to Claim 2 or Claim 3, wherein said intumescent material is of generally rectangular section.
5. A strip according to any one of the preceding Claims, wherein said first portion is of generally rectangular section.
6. A strip according to any one of the preceding Claims, wherein said first portion includes protrusion means extending laterally outwardly therefrom.
7. A strip according to Claim 6, wherein said protrusion means comprises an outwardly bowed portion extending along the length of said strip.
8. A strip according to Claim 7, wherein, in use, said outwardly bowed portion is compressed in contact with said pane of glass, panel or the like, or with said frame or glazing bar.
9. A strip according to any one of Claims 6 to 8, wherein said protrusion means lies on the same side of said strip as does said lip.
10. A strip according to any one of the preceding Claims, wherein said strip consists of an extrusion of plastics material.
11. A strip according to any one of the preceding Claims, wherein said plastics material is polyvinylchloride.
12. A strip according to any one of the preceding Claims, wherein said second portion is provided with an external, glazing surface, which, in use, lies at an oblique angle to the plane of a pane of glass, panel or the like being glazed.
13. A strip according to Claim 12, wherein said angle is about 120 degrees.
14. An elongate glazing strip substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and as shown in the accompanying drawings.
