Description
GLAZING SECURITY SYSTEM
The present invention relates to a glazing security system and, in particular, to a system for use in securing a glazing panel in the frame of a window or door assembly.
Various proposals have been made for fixing panels, such as glazing panels, into an outwardly facing rebate of a frame. In the installation of such systems an external glazing bead, which is typically formed from a relatively rigid material, is fitted to the frame outwardly of the panel after the panel has been fitted, in order to hold the panel in place. It has been found that such an arrangement has severe drawbacks in that it is relatively easy for a burglar to remove the glazing bead, and hence the glazing panel from the outside in order to gain access through a window or other glazed opening.
Various proposals for secure glazing systems have been made and these include those described in
GB-A-2067641, GB-A-2198467, GB-A-2212545, and
GB-A-2235008.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a glazing security system for a panel assembly in which removal of the panel is made more difficult and time consuming to a potential burglar.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a glazing security system which comprises:
i) a first component which is provided with
means for attachment of the component to a
frame, the first component (i) being
provided on one longitudinal edge thereof
with at least one projection which acts as
a locking feature,
ii) a second component of generally L-shaped
cross-section which is adapted to slide
over component (i), the horizontal limb of
the L-shaped member having a flange
depending therefrom, the flange being
provided with at least one complementary
socket or slot adapted to receive the
projection on the first component and the
perpendicular limb of the L-shaped member
forming an upstand against which, in use, a
glazing panel bears, the locking feature on the first component being adapted to engage with the locking feature provided on the second component when the first component is moved transversely in relation to the second component.
The glazing security system of the present invention is a so-called "stand alone" system and is independent of the glass packing system used to prevent movement of the glazing panel in the frame.
The means for the attachment of the first component (i) to the frame may comprise screw holes through which screws are screwed into the frame, dowels, rivets, expanding fixings, adhesive, or a feature provided on the first component which mates with a complementary frame feature to prevent lateral movement perpendicular to the glazing panel.
The second component is of a generally L-shaped cross-section and is adapted to slide over component (i). Preferably a plurality of projections are provided on the longitudinal edge of the first component with a corresponding number of sockets or slots adapted to receive the projections being provided in the flange depending from the horizontal limb of the L-shaped member.
The components of the glazing security system of the present invention may be made from metal or a plastics material, as desired.
The present invention also includes within its scope:
a) a glazing panel having an inner face and an
outer face;
b) a frame which is adapted to receive the
panel which has a glazing security system
as hereinbefore defined fixed thereto, and
c) a seal which bears against the inner face
of the glazing panel and thereby causes the
outer face of the glazing panel to bear
against the upstand formed on the glazing
security system.
The present invention will be further described with reference to Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 illustrates a perspective view of the first component of the security device of the present invention;
Figure 2 illustrates a perspective view of the second component of the security device of the present invention;
Figure 3 illustrates in cross-section components (i) and (ii) of the glazing security device of the present invention fitted to a window frame before being locked together; and
Figure 4 illustrates in cross-section components (i) and (ii) of the glazing security device of the present invention fitted to a window frame and being locked together.
Referring to the drawings, a first component 2 which forms the base plate of the security fixing device is provided with two screw holes 1 through which screws are inserted to secure the component 2 to a frame. The base plate 2 is raised from the frame and supported by a plastic member 3 which also has appropriate screw holes for fixing the combination of the base plate 2 and the plastic member 3 to the frame. The longitudinal edge 10 of component 2 is provided with two projections 4 extending horizontally therefrom.
The second component 11 is shown in Figure 2.
The horizontal limb 12 of the second component or keeper plate has a flange 6 depending perpendicularly from the side edge 13 thereof. The flange 6 is provided with two horizontally extending slots 7.
The slots 7 are thus of appropriate dimensions for the projections 4 to fit into. The second component 11 has an upstanding portion which together with horizontal limb 12 is generally of L-shaped configuration.
The locking of components 2 and 11 together is generally carried out as illustrated with reference to Figures 3 and 4 where components 2 and 11 are shown in cross-section beneath glazing panel 13. The first component 2 is secured to a window frame 14, together with the plastic member 3. A glazing bead 15 is positioned in the window frame, the glazing bead 15 projecting to the outside of the window unit. The second component 11 is slid over the first component until it reaches a position where the slots 7 are complementary to the projections 4. The glazing panel 13 is inserted and bears against upstand 5 of the second component. The components 2 and 11 are then locked together by movement of component 11 and glazing panel 13 transversely so that projections 4 engage in slots 7.
The transverse movement of the glazing panel 13 and component 11 is effected by positioning an internal gasket 16 into the window frame between the frame and glass unit. The insertion of the gasket moves the glass and second component 11 transversely to the right as shown in Figures 3 and 4 and thus locks the second component 11 to the first component 2 of the security device of the invention.
The locking feature prevents the sideways removal of the component 11 by a burglar in the event that glazing bead 15 is removed from the window unit from the outside. Removal of the glazing security system may only be made by effecting removal of the gasket 16, thereby allowing separation of the components 2 and 11.
Claims (6)
1. A glazing security system which comprises:
i) a first component which is provided with
means for attachment of the component to a
frame, the first component (i) being
provided on one longitudinal edge thereof

projection on the first component and the
perpendicular limb of the L-shaped member
forming an upstand against which, in use, a

2. A glazing security system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the means for attachment of the first component (i) to the frame comprises screw holes, dowels, rivets, expanding fixings, adhesive, or a feature provided on the first component which mates with a complementary frame feature.
3. A glazing security system as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein a plurality of projections are provided on the first component with a corresponding number of sockets or slots adapted to receive the projections being provided in the flange depending from the horizontal limb of the L-shaped member.
4. A glazing securing system as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein the components are made from metal or a plastics material.
