• An advantage of such a composite glazing provided with an attachment according to the invention is that it indicates the failure in the event of fire of the bonded assembly by lowering defined in the additional pane on the security elements.
• the additional glass may be provided with a heat reflecting coating, in order to better protect the substructure and / or the glazed element against a heat source and thus protect it for a period longer time against unacceptable heating. It is the judicious instance to provide the free surface of the additional pane with a heat-reflecting coating, because it is facing in the event of fire the heat source. For such applications, for example thin transparent layers based on a metal oxide have proved satisfactory.
• the additional window may be provided with at least one recess, through which extends a support for the security elements.
• the recess can be a circular through bore, but other shapes such as rectangular or elliptical recesses are also possible.
• the recess can also be provided in principle at the edge of the additional window.

• the safety elements suitably consist of O-rings, discs or ring segments or discs with an outside diameter or perimeter greater than the diameter of the bore.
• security elements can be cables or rods, for example in steel, which extend between two point supports or more.
• Fasteners according to the invention are suitable, in a use claimed as preferred, for glazing, in particular large-area and / or frameless glazing, oblique, above the head or from the ceiling, also and precisely in fire risk environments.
• FIG. 1 an embodiment of the fixing according to the invention of a composite glazing with a fire-resistant glass glued as additional glass,
• the fixing 1 for a composite glazing 2 consists of a support 3 and a clamping screw 4, which form a point support.
• the composite glazing 2 is produced as fire-resistant glazing, two sheets of glass 5 and 6 made of partially prestressed float glass being in this case laminated on a film of thermoplastic adhesive 7 made of polyvinyl butyral to form a glazed element in the form of composite glass 5, 7, 6.
• a fire-resistant pane of highly prestressed silicate glass also by means of an adhesive film 9 in polyvinyl butyral.
• the support 3 may for example be inserted and welded into the tube R of a sub-construction illustrated with its free end opposite the composite glazing 2.
• the usual means can also be provided for compensate for tolerances and / or elastic deformations due to external forces and thermal expansion. It s' means that the number of point supports (3, 4) for use in a composite glazing depends on the dimensions and weight of the composite; in general, each composite glazing will require several fixings with the required degrees of freedom.
• the fastener 1 is assembled to the laminated glazed element 5, 7, 6 by means of a clamp connection.
• a clamp connection there is provided in the laminated window 5, 7, 6, a bore 10 through which passes a bolt with external thread illustrated here diagrammatically, mounted on the clamping screw 4.
• This bolt is screwed into an internal thread corresponding also illustrated schematically, in the support 3. So that the attachment 1 engages only with the laminated glass 5, 7, 6, a round recess 11 is located in the additional glass 8, which the clamping screw 4 passes through without contact with the additional window.
• seals in particular O-rings 12 and 13.
• O-rings 12 and 13 may for example consist of an elastic synthetic material or a material based on aramid fiber and are intended to hermetically seal the bore 10 and protect the surfaces of the glass sheets 5 and 6 against damage by the tightening forces of the fastener 1.
• the seal must prevent humidity from entering under normal conditions and ensure airtightness; in the event of a fire, the passage of flames and flue gases to the substructure must also be delayed for as long as possible.
• a security element 42 is fixed to the clamping screw 4 with an interposed spacer washer 41, and this on the side of the additional window 8. Several of these security elements form the receiving plane separated from the free surface of the additional window 8.
• the spacer washer 41 serves as a support for the security element 42 and passes through the plane of the additional window.
• the connections between the clamping screw 4, the spacer washer 41 and the safety element 42 can for example be made by welding, so that during the screwing of the screw, the safety element 42 is simultaneously installed.
• the security element 42 is here produced in the form of a screw with a diameter greater than the diameter of the round recess 11, so that the additional window 8 is retained during a failure of the adhesive film 9.
• Such a receiving surface can however also be formed by safety elements in the form of a circular ring of corresponding outside diameter, by individual projections directed towards the outside or by hooks on the spacer washer or by the tightening of cables between two spacers or more. If the security elements are visible to the outside, they can also be used, if necessary, as structural elements for the general visual appearance of a glazing with one or more composite glazings, by varying their number, shape and / or color.

• the latter absorbs a large part of the heat energy, its total volume being able to heat up to an extent such that the film of adjacent glue 9 in polyvinyl butyral bottom (from around 105 ° C).
• the failure of the bonding assembly occurs in this case due to the poor thermal conductivity of the glass sheets and the polyvinyl butyral film, at a early stage that the laminated glass 5, 7, 6 has not yet been exposed to critical temperatures. Moreover, the separation of the individual panes 5 and 6 also in the event of any softening of the adhesive film 7 is prevented by fixing by common clamping by means of the point support (3, 4).
