Abstract
A blast-resistant glazing system comprises a sheet of blast-resistant glazing material, such as laminated glass, and an elongate retaining member. The retaining member has two spaced opposed lips for receiving an edge region of the glazing sheet therebetween. Each one of the lips lies adjacent a respective one of the major surfaces of the sheet. The glazing sheet is provided with a respective outwardly extending projection on each major surface of the sheet. Each projection interlocks with a respective one of the lips so that withdrawal of the edge region of the sheet from between the lips is resisted by engagement between the projections and the lips.
Claims21
A blast-resistant glazing system comprising:
- a sheet of blast-resistant glazing material;
- and
- a retaining member having two spaced opposed portions for receiving an edge region of the sheet therebetween with each one of the portions lying adjacent a respective major surface of the sheet;
- wherein the sheet and the retaining member are provided with respective formations extending at respective angles relative to the major surfaces of the sheet so that withdrawal of the edge region of the sheet from between the portions is resisted by engagement between the formations.
A blast-resistant glazing system comprising:
- a sheet of blast-resistant glazing material;
- and
- a retaining member, the retaining member having two spaced opposed portions for receiving an edge region of the sheet therebetween so that each portion lies adjacent a respective major surface of the sheet;
- wherein the sheet is provided with a projection extending outwardly from one of the major surfaces and the projection interlocks with one of the portions so that withdrawal of the edge region of the sheet from between the portions is resisted by engagement between the projection and the one of the portions.
A method of installing a blast-resistant glazing system comprising a sheet of blast-resistant glazing material and a retaining member having two spaced opposed portions for receiving an edge region of the sheet therebetween with each one of the portions lying adjacent a respective major surface of the sheet, the method comprising
- securing
- wherein the sheet and the retaining member are provided with respective formations extending at respective angles relative to the major surfaces of the sheet so that withdrawal of the edge region of the sheet from between the portions is resisted by engagement between the formations.
