A glazing system for window panes and other panels utilizes separate but generally similar L-sectioned elastomeric stops on each side of the pane. The stops are fitted into a double-grooved supporting frame or reglet structure having an outer groove surrounding the pane and which opens outwardly in a direction perpendicular to the pane, and having an inner groove opening in a direction inwardly of but parallel to the pane and spaced rearwardly from the plane of the pane. The outer stop has one leg retained in the outer groove and its other leg projecting parallel to and overlying and bearing inwardly against the pane. The inner stop has one leg retained in the inner groove and its other leg projecting perpendicular to the pane, with the end of such last-mentioned leg butting against the pane. In another embodiment of the invention the inner stop is of a modified U-section, having a glass holding leg and a retaining leg, said legs being parallel to each other.
Means for positioning a windowpane panel or the like in a building structure comprising in combination with a rigid frame structure for receiving and positioning the panel, said frame structure including a pair of channels bordering the panel and one of which opens on one side of the panel and the other of which opens on the other side of the panel, but neither of which channels opens toward the panel, a pair of elastomeric stop members, each of which includes a stop retaining leg flange fitted in one of said channels and a panel holding leg flange integral with and spaced from the stop retaining leg flange and overlying and bearing against a face of the panel.
Means for positioning in a building structure a windowpane panel or the like having substantially parallel inner and outer surfaces, comprising in combination a pair of elastomeric stop members each of which includes a retaining leg and a panel holding leg, said legs being at a substantial angle to each other, means for supporting one of said stop members with its panel holding leg parallel to and overlying one surface of the panel, and means for supporting the other stop member with its panel holding leg perpendiculalr to the other surface of the panel and its end bearing against the panel.
