Claims18
A device for attaching a panel to a facade, comprising an extrusion having:
- an arm, said arm terminating in an end portion, said end portion comprising at least one prong for contacting said panel and permitting the bending of the panel about said at least one prong;
- a platform, said platform being contiguous with said arm and extending from said arm, said platform further being spaced from said arm for forming a slot, said slot being configured to capture a portion of the panel;
- a leg, said leg being contiguous with said platform and extending outwardly therefrom;
- a base, said leg lying closer to said base than to said platform;
- a first fastener for holding said base to the facade;
- a second fastener for holding said leg to said base;
- and
- an aperture extending through said leg, said second fastener extending through said aperture.
