Abstract
The device for clearance-free mounting of panes of glass embodying the invention comprises blocks each having a through passage of oblong section in which can freely pass a fastening screw intended to be screwed into a threaded bore of the support of a pane of glass, the blocks also having an oblique face susceptible of sliding and self-adjusting against an edge of the pane of glass. The invention notably enables a protective pane of glass to be fixed to a viewing screen.
Claims9
A device for clearance-free mounting of a pane of glass onto a rigid support by means of at least one block applying on an edge of said pane and having:
- a bearing face applied on said support,
- a through passage along an axis perpendicular to said support, in which can freely pass a fastening screw intended to be screwed into said support, said passage penetrating said block having an oblong section in a plane parallel to said support, extending along a longitudinal axis perpendicular to said edge, and
- an oblique face extending from said bearing face, which applies on said edge on at least a point belonging to said longitudinal axis, this face sliding and self-adjusting against the edge of said pane of glass during screwing of said screw.
A device for clearance-free mounting of a pane of glass onto a rigid support by means of at least one block applying on an edge of said pane and having:
- a bearing face applied on said support,
- a through passage along an axis perpendicular to said support, in which can freely pass a fastening screw intended to be screwed into said support, said passage having an oblong section along a plane parallel to said support, extending along a longitudinal axis perpendicular to said edge,
- an oblique face extending from said bearing face, which applies on said edge on at least a point belonging to said longitudinal axis, and
- a material with a high coefficient of friction covering one of the edges of the passage susceptible of coming into contact with the head of the screw,
- said oblique face sliding and self-adjusting against the edge of said pane of glass during screwing of said screw, a screwing movement of the screw inducing through said material a force to be applied on the block towards the edge of the pane of glass.
A device for clearance-free mounting of a pane of glass onto a rigid support by means of at least one block applying on an edge of said pane and having:
- a bearing face applied on said support,
- an oblique face extending from said bearing face, which applies on at least a point of said edge, and
- a through passage along an axis perpendicular to said support, in which can freely pass a fastening screw intended to be screwed into said support, said passage having a U-shaped section along a plane parallel to said support open towards a side opposite the oblique face,
- said oblique face sliding and self-adjusting against the edge of said pane of glass during screwing of said screw.
