Claims14
A panel adapted for windows or doors comprising:
- (a) a supported element including at least one sheet material member;
- and,
- (b) means for supporting said supported element, said supporting means including
- (1) a plurality of riders having a base portion and a pair of wing portions extending from an edge normal thereto, and each said rider disposed at spaced locations around said supported element with said base portion located in opposed relation to the side of said supported element and each said wing portion placed in projection to and slightly spaced from and disposed exteriorly of a respective outside face of said supported element,
- (2) attachment means carried by each said base adapted for removable attachment of a frame,
- (3) securing means comprising a layer of adhesive disposed over an area substantially equal to the area of each said wing portion of said riders having a capability of providing an elastic bond between said wing portions and said faces of said supported element, and
- (4) a frame supported by said attachment means to circumscribe said supported element.
