Abstract
A glazing system with an elastomeric glazing gasket, preferably of the lockstrip type, which has sealing wings and is prefabricated to continuously extend around the perimeter of a window opening. The system also includes means for mounting the gasket with the sealing wings in contact with the perimeter of the window opening.
Claims23
A glazing system comprising:
- a window opening having a perimeter surface;
- a prefabricated gasket continuously extending around the perimeter surface of said window opening;
- said gasket having a lite-receiving channel and sealing wings abutting said perimeter surface;
- nonembedded means for mounting said gasket secured on or above said perimeter surface such that said nonembedded means is covered by said gasket and said sealing wings are in sealing relationship against said window perimeter surface;
- and
- means for fastening said mounting means to said perimeter surface.
A glazing system continuously extending around a window opening, said window opening including a perimeter surface and an interior side and an exterior side to sealably receive and retain a lite therein, said system comprising:
- a nonembedded receiver adapted to be secured on or above the perimeter surface of said window opening, said receiver having a generally U-shaped channel open towards said window opening interior;
- means for fastening said receiver to said perimeter surface;
- an elastomeric gasket, said gasket having a lite-receiving channel open towards said window opening interior, a mounting spline and a pair of sealing wings, one of said pair of sealing wings being located on an interior side of said spline, the other of said pair being located on an exterior side of said spline;
- said spline and said U-shaped channel being sized so that said spline tightly fits into said channel to retain said gasket about said perimeter surface and maintain said pair of sealing wings in sealing relationship against said perimeter surface.
A glazing system continuously extending about a window opening in a wall having an inside and an outside, said window opening having a perimeter surface, said system comprising:
- an elongated nonembedded receiver extending on or above said perimeter surface, said receiver having, in cross-section, a U-shaped portion defining a channel opening away from said perimeter surface;
- means for fastening said receiver to said perimeter surface;
- and
- an elongated elastomeric gasket coextending with said receiver about said perimeter surface, said gasket having two sides, a lite-receiving channel, a spline tightly fitting in said channel of said receiver, an inside sealing wing on the side of said gasket towards said inside of said wall and an outside sealing wing on the side of said gasket towards said outside of said wall, said sealing wings in a sealing relationship against said perimeter surface.
A securing system comprising:
- a prefabricated gasket continuously extending around a perimeter surface of an opening, said gasket having a receiving channel and sealing wings abutting said perimeter surface;
- nonembedded means for mounting said gasket, said gasket mounting means adapted to be mounted on or above said perimeter surface such that said nomembedded means is covered by said gasket and said sealing wings are in a sealing relationship against said perimeter surface;
- and
- means for fastening said mounting means to said perimeter surface.
A securing system comprising:
- a gasket adapted to be positioned on a surface about an opening, said gasket including a channel for receiving a panel member and sealing wings for sealing the gasket against the surface of the opening;
- nonembedded means for securing said gasket to the surface of the opening, said means for securing positioned on or a desired distance above the surface of the opening such that said nonembedded means is covered by said gasket and said sealing wings are in a sealing relationship with the surface of the opening;
- and
- means for fastening said mounting means to the surface of the opening.
