8 Claims. The object of this invention is to provide imstrip, for removably securing a panel in a frame in sealed association with the same. While the improvement is particularly applicable to the .glazing of window sash it may be used advantageou'sly for other purposes.

A preferred embodiment of the invention is presented herein for the purpose of exempliflcation, but it will of course be appreciated that the inventipn'is susceptible of incorporation in other structurally modified forms coming equally within the scope of the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings: 1

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of part of a window sash glazed in accordance with the invention;

Fig. 2 is a transverse section through the sash, showing the parts'before application of the pane of glass to the rail member; l Fig. 3 is a similar view, showing the parts duringapplication of the glass;

Fig. 4 is a similar view, showing the parts after application of the glass;

Fig. 5 is a horizontal section through one side of a double glass window, in which glazing strips embodying the invention are so arranged as to form the sealing means betweenv the two sash frames; and

Figs. 6 and '7 are similar sections, showing modifications in, the contacting portions'of the .glazing strips.

As will be observed from the drawings, and more particularly Figs. 1-to .4 thereof, the sash includes a pane of glass l0, 'a rail member II and a rubber glazing strip I2. The rail-member II is and two spaced grooves l5 and IS. The glazing strip I2 is of one-piece construction and is provided with an outwardly projecting flange l'l which flts within the rear groove I5, an inwardly projecting flange l8 which is positioned behind the glass i0 between the margin of the latter and the rear wall M, a forwardly projecting web H which is located between the outer edge of the glass and the inner face l3 of the rail member, and a re'versely bent flange 20 at the front edge of theweb which projects first inwardly against the margin of the glass and then cut wardly into the front groove i6. 2

, The-inwardly projecting section 2| ofthe re versely bent flange 20 is preferably quite thin and flexible, whilethe outwardly projecting section 22 ofthe same flange is preferably thicker and stiffer than the section 2|, with the section 22 increasing in thickness from the bend 23 to the inner face l3 of the rail 'rnembersand being providecl at the front edge of the inner face I3 with a shoulder 24 which abuts with the latter. The section 22 is preferably spaced somewhat from the section 2|, and the progressive outward thickening which characterizes the section 22 is almost if not entirely due to the addition of stock to ,the front face 25 of such section, resulting in 4 a beveled front face which tapers forwardly and outwardly away from the glass to the front inner edge of. the rail member. The rail member itself, aside from the special characteristics above described,.may be of any desired construction and of any desired material.

With the improvement above described; glaz mg of the sash may be easilyaccomplished. After. I

the strip l2 has been fittedinto-the rail member II and before the glass III has been applied, the reversely bent flange 20 of the strip will assume the slightly humped position shown in Fig. 2, which view illustrates the cross-sectional shape which is given the strip at.the time of its. manuiacture. When the glass I0 is being applied, the hump at the location of the bend 23 in the strip is pushed down out of the way as shown in Fig. 3 to allow the glass to be moved rearwardly-past the hump. After the glass has been moved into engagement with theinwardly projecting flange l8, the free edge of the outwardlyprojecting section 22 of the reversely bent flange is forced inwardly and then snapped into the front groove l6 in the, rail member. The inherent resiliency of the strip, combined-with the sling-like support I given the flexible section 2| by the relatively rigid section 22, results in the glass I B being securely held in a readily removable yet effectively sealed manner. To remove the glass it is merely necessary to snap the free edge of the strip out of the front groove in the rail member.

In Fig. 5

glazing strips

26 and 21 constructed in accordance with the invention are shown applied to the two panes of glass 28 and 29 of a double glass window 30. The window 32 consists of a fixed outer sash 3| and a removable inner sash 32. The two-sashes 3| and 32 are clamped tightly together by any suitable means, such as wedging strips 33 on the order. of those disclosed V in the ccpending application of Christian M.

'Verhagen, Serial No. 76,919, filed .April 29, 1936,, and the space between the panes of glass is sealed by means of projections on the reversely bent flanges 35 of the glazing strips, which projections bear snugly against each other when the sashes II and 32 are brought together. The sashes 3! and 32 may be grooved out at to reduce the I C] aim ii 1. The combination with a panel, and a frame about the panel having a rear wall and two spaced inwardly opening grooves in front, of said wall, of a rubber retaining strip having an outwardly projecting flange which flts within the rear groove, an inwardly projecting flange which is positioned behind the panel between the margin of the latter and the rear wall, a forwardly projecting web which is located between the outer edge of the panel and the frame, and a reversely bent flange at the front edge of the web which projects flrst inwardly. against the margin ofthe panel and then outwardly into the front groove.

2. The combination with a panel, and a frame about the panel having arear wall and two spaced inwardly opening grooves in front of said wall, of a rubber retaining strip having an outwardly projecting flange which flts within the rear groove,.an inwardly projecting flange which is positioned-behind the panel between the margin of the latter and the rear wall,'a forwardly projecting web which is located between the outer edge of the panel and the frame, and a reversely bent flange at the front edge of the web which projects first inwardly against the margin of the panel and then outwardly into the groove, the exposed portion of the outwardly projecting section of the reversely bent flange being preferably thicker than the inwardly projecting section of such flange.

3. The combination with a panel, and a fram about the panel having a rear wall and two spaced inwardly opening grooves in front of said wall, of a rubber retaining strip having an outwardly projecting flange which fits within the rear groove, an inwardly projecting flange which is positioned behind the panel between the margin of the latter and the rear wall, a forwardly projecting web which is located between the outer edge of the paiiel and the frame, and a reversely bent flange at the front edge of the web which projects flrst inwardly against the margin of the panel and then outwardly into the front groove, the outwardly projecting section of the reversely bent flange being of gradually increasing thickness from the bend in the flange to the point where the flange enters the front groove, and

.being provided at such point with a shoulder for abutment with the frame adjacent the front edge of the latter.

4. The combination with a panel, and a frame about the panel having a rear wall and two spaced inwardly opening grooves in front of said wall, of a rubber retaining strip having an outwardly projecting flange which flts within the rear groove, a forwardly projecting web which is located between the outer edge of the panel and the frame, and a reversely bent flange at the front edge of the web which projects first inwardly against the margin of the panel and then outwardly into the front groove.

A rubberglazing strip characterized by an inwardly extending flange for engagement with the rear face of a pane of glass, an outwardly extending flange for insertion in'a groove in a surrounding sash frame, and a reversely bent flange which is adapted to extend first inwardly against the front face of the pane of glass and then outwardly into a second groove in the sash frame.

7. A'rubberglazing strip characterized by a reversely bent flange which is adapted to extend first inwardly against the front face of a pane of glass and then outwardly into a groove in a surrounding sash frame, the outwardly extending portion of the reversely bent flange being provided with a projection for sealing abutment with a corresponding projection on a glazing strip associated with a second pane of glass.

8. In window construction, the combination with two panes of glass, and two sash frames for supporting the same, of rubber glazing strips for mounting the panes in the frames, said sash JULIUS BREACKEVELT.
