Abstract

A Two-part glazing strip comprising a first part having flat webs (11, 12) disposed at right angles to one another, a plurality of spaced generally triangular members (13) forming with the web (11) a continuous rebate for location of the edge region of a sheet of glass. The second part of the strip consists of a resilient strip 16 which by way of an elongate rib (17) is attached, by snap action, to the members (13) having undercut grooves therein. The part 16 forms a seal along its edges respectively with the sheet of glass and a window frame rebate. The part (10) is attached to the window frame such as by pins or screws. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION A glazing strip THIS INVENTION concerns a two-part glazing strip.
An object of the invention is to provide a device for mounting a sheet of glass in a window frame, which avoids the use of putty, and is preferably removable for replacement of a broken pane. The device is expected to reduce the time taken to glaze a window frame and to provide an aesthetically improved finish.
According to the present invention there is provided a two-part glazing strip comprising a first part being rebated to receive an edge and the adjacent peripheral region of a sheet of glass and including means enabling ment of the said first part to a window frame, and a second part of strip form attachable to the first part to provide a bevel or inclined surface extending outwardly from the glass surface in a manner similar to that provided by putty in a conventional glazing process.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings in which: Figure 1 is a transverse cross-section of the glazing strip in use; Figure 2 is a perspective view of one part of the glazing strip; and Figure 3 is a perspective view showing two lengths of the part illustrated in Fig. 2, joined together to form a corner.
Referring now to the drawings, the two-part glazing strip comprises a first part 10 consisting of two elongate webs 11 and 12 disposed at right angles one to the other, the width of web 11 being less than that of web 12, and the webs being matched with the dimensions of the rebate of a standard window frame. In this regard, the strip can be produced in different sizes to fit different standard frames.
The part 10 also includes a plurality of spaced generally triangular members 13 attached to or integral with webs 11 and/or 12, which are rebated at 14 to receive an edge and the adjacent peripheral region of a sheet of glass, and each member 13 includes an undercut groove 15 for a purpose to be described.
The part 10 is preferably integrally moulded from a rigid plastics material or alternatively can be fabricated in plastics or aluminium.
The members 13 can be of elongate form and produced separately by moulding or by continuous extrusion and subsequently cut to length, and attached to the webs 11 and 12.
The glazing strip also includes a second elongate part 16 which as can be seen from Fig. 1, includes a rib 17 on one face which is of such a shape as to be introduced into the grooves 15 of part 10 with a snap action. For this purpose, the part 16 is preferably made from a resilient plastics material such as polypropylene. The edge regions of part 16 are of reduces thickness as can be seen in Fig. 1.
One side of each member 13 forms a support for the part 16.
It is considered that the glazing strip will be supplied with the two parts attached together as shown in Fig. 1 and in certain standard lengths which will be slightly greater than a range of standard window frame dimensions.
The user will separate part 16 from part 10 and cut a part 10 for each of the horizontal and vertical edges of a sheet of glass to be fitted. For convenience, the horizontal lengths can be cut to match the horizontal dimensions of the window frame, and the vertical pieces whilst having an overall length equivalent to the vertical dimension of the frame will have their webs 11 cut at the upper and lower ends as illustrated at 20 in Fig. 3 thus to form corners with the horizontal pieces. The parts 10 thus prepared will be attached to the edges of the sheet of glass as shown in Fig.
1, and the glass with parts 10 attached will then be introduced into the rebate of the frame. If required, the rebate can be prepainted and the parts can be introduced while the paint is still wet thus to form a seal. The parts 10 are then urged outwardly into intimate contact with the frame surfaces and can be secured thereto with pins or screws at spaced locations.
Once the glass with the parts 10 attached is firmly secured in place, then appropriate lengths of part 16 will be cut to the full horizontal widths and snapped into place on their upper and lower horizontal associated parts 10. A template which will be provided with the glazing strip can then be used to cut the upper and lower extremities of the associated vertical parts 16 at an appropriate angle to abut the end regions of the horizontal parts 16 to form what will appear to be a mitred joint. An appropriate compound can be used to seal the joint between the parts 16 at the corners.
As can be seen from Fig. 1. the effect of snapping the parts 16 into place on the parts 10 causes the edge regions of part 16 to distort thus providing a firm seal against the respective surfaces of the glass and the frame rebate.
The web 11 of each part 10 forms a seal between the opposite glass surface and the adjacent surface of the frame rebate and preferably protrudes slightly above the frame rebate to facilitate painting of the frame. Alternatively, the protruding portion of web 11 can be trimmed with a knife after installatiob. It will be appreciated that installation of the pane of glass using the two-part glazing strip herein described can be carried out more quickly and easily than the conventional system using putty. Also, a broken pane can easily be replaced by easing the parts 16 out of engagement with the parts 10 and replacing them after installating a new piece of glass. In this regard, it will be necessary for the parts 10 to be removable from the frame rebate.

Claims (10)

1. A two-part glazing strip comprising a first part being rebated to receive an edge and the adjacent peripheral region of a sheet of glass and including means enabling attachment of the said first part to a window frame, and a second part of strip form attachable to the first part to provide a bevel or inclined surface extending outwardly from the glass surface in a manner similar to that provided by putty in a conventional glazing process.
2. A two-part glazing strip according to Claim 1 wherein said first part comprises a pair of elongate webs disposed at right angles one to the other and at least one generally triangular member forming with one of said webs, said rebate for receiving an edge and the adjacent peripheral region of a sheet of glass, said at least one triangular member providing a supporting surface for said second part and means for attachment thereof.
3. A two-part glazing strip according to Claim 2, wherein said elongate webs form said means enabling attachment of the first part to a window frame, such as by pins or screws.
4. A two-part glazing strip according to Claim 2, wherein said means on said at least one member for attachment of said second part includes an undercut groove, said second part including a rib for introduction into said groove with a snap action.
5. A two-part glazing strip according to Claim 1, wherein said first part is formed by moulding and of a rigid plastics material.
6. A two-part glazing strip according to Claim 1. wherein said second part is made from a resilient plastics material.
7. A two-part glazing strip according to Claim 2, wherein a plurality of said triangular members are provided at spaced intervals along said elongate webs.
8. A two-part glazing strip according to Claim 2, wherein said triangular member is produced in elongate form by plastics extrusion and attached to said elongate webs by adhesion.
9. A two-part glazing strip according to any preceding claim wherein said second part is of reduced thickness in its edge regions thus to be distorted when attached to said first part to provide a seal against the respective surfaces of a sheet of glass and a window frame rebate.
10. A two-part glazing strip substantially as hereinbefore described, with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
