GLAZING STRIP Aug. 5, 1952' Filed Aug. 21, 1950 Rib/70rd 6. Cole Fig. 4

Patented Aug. 5, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GLAZING STRIP Richard 0. Cole, Milwaukee, Wis.

Application August 21, 1950, Serial No. 180,667

2 Claims.

The present invention relates to'new and useful improvements in glazing strips for holding window panes in a sash without the use of putty.

An important object of the invention is to provide a continuous metalglazing strip to extend entirely around the edges of the pane and constructed to yieldably bear against the pane to hold the same in a sash.

A further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is neat and attractive in appearance, relatively inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.

Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of the sash showing the glazing strip in attached position;

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on a line 2-2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a plan view of the strip; and,

Figure 4 is a similar view showing the strip bent to fit continuously at the edges of the pane.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 5 designates a strip of resilient metal which is bent at right angles along a longitudinal medial line 6 to form an attaching flange I and a window pane holding flange 8.

Attaching flange I is bent rearwardly along a longitudinal medial line 9 to provide diverging outer and inner flanges I and l I, one positioned behind the other, and formed with openings l2 to receive nails or other fasteners l3 for attaching to a window sash M.

The window pane holding flange 8 is also bent rearwardly along a longitudinal medial line I to provide diverging outer and inner flanges l6 and I I, one positioned behind the other, and with inner flange I1 bearing against a window pane l8 to hold the latter in the sash.

The strip '5 is constructed of a suitable length to extend entirely around the edges of the pane and the flange B is cut at proper intervals with 90 degree notches 19 to form a miter 20 at the corners of the pane while the flange I is bent at right angles along fold lines 2| in alinement with the notches.

In glazing the window, pane I8 is placed in the rabbet 22 of sash l4 and glazing strip 5 is attached at its flange 1 to the sash in a position with flange 8 bearing against the pane, as shown in Figure 1. The notches 19 close to provide a mitered finish at the corners of the pane when attaching flange I is folded along the fold lines 2| so that the glazing strip may extend continuously around the edges of the pane.

In view of the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings it is believed that a clear understanding of the construction, operation and advantages of the device will be quite apparent to those skilled in this art. A more detailed description is accordingly deemed unnecessary.

It is to be understood, however, that even though there is herein shown and described a preferred embodiment of the invention the same is susceptible to certain changes fully comprehended by the spirit of the invention as herein described and the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new 1s:

1. A glazing strip comprising a pair of V- shaped resilient flanges positioned at right angles to each other and united at one edge, each of said flanges including an inner flange and an outer flange, one of said V-shaped flanges being adapted for attaching to a window sash and the other of said V-shaped flanges opposing a pane to hold the same in the sash, and with the inner flange of said last-named V-shaped flange bearing against the pane.

2. A glazing strip comprising a pair of V- shaped resilient flanges positioned at right angles to each other and united at one edge, one of said flanges adapted for attaching to a window sash and the other of said flanges opposing a pane to hold the same in the sash, said strip extending continuously around the edges of the pane and said last named flange having notches at its outer edge to form mitered corners at the corners of the pane.
