Abstract
A glass panel support for use with a glass fin wall and configured to be coupled to a building structure. The glass panel support may comprise an anchor, a tension bar, and a gravity plate. The anchor may be configured to be coupled to the building structure. The tension bar may be coupled to the anchor and extends downwardly therefrom. The gravity plate may comprise a pair of opposing support arms that extend outwardly from the tension bar. The upper surface of the gravity plate is configured to support a portion of the glass panel.
Claims21
A glass panel support configured to be coupled to a building structure and to support a glass panel comprising:
- a glass fin wall comprising a glass fin;
- an anchor configured to be coupled to the building structure;
- a tension bar coupled to the anchor and extending downwardly therefrom;
- a gravity plate comprising a pair of opposing support arms that extend outwardly from the tension bar, wherein an upper surface of the gravity plate is configured to support a portion of the glass panel;
- and
- a structural elastomer coupled to and connecting an inner surface of the glass panel to a front facing surface of the glass fin wall.
A glass panel support configured to be coupled to a building structure and to support a glass panel comprising:
- a glass fin wall comprising a glass fin;
- an anchor configured to be coupled to the building structure;
- a tension bar coupled to the anchor, oriented perpendicular thereto, and extending downwardly therefrom;
