Abstract
A glazing system is provided in which box section beams support glazing bars by means of a series of longitudinal flanges having undercuts which receive longitudinal flanges on the glazing bars. Some of the undercuts are arranged in arcs centered on further undercuts in adjacent flanges so that the angle between the bars and the beams, or between two glazing panels supported by a single beam, can be adjusted during assembly. The system is suitable both for roofs and for curtain walling.
Claims3
A glazing system comprising a longitudinally extending box section beam, a spaced pair of parallel longitudinally extending side flanges extending from one wall of the beam, each of the flanges having an inwardly facing longitudinal undercut, a third longitudinal centre flange parallel to and midway between said flanges, said third flange having longitudinal undercuts on both sides, facing in opposite directions, the undercuts on each side being arranged on a circular arc centred on the oppositely facing undercut in a side flange and at different angles to said one wall, and at least one longitudinally extending glazing bar having flanges selectively engageable with oppositely facing undercuts in said centre flange and one of said side flanges.
