Abstract
The disclosure relates to a laminated and beveled safety glass panel. More particularly, the safety glass panel comprises a panel having the appearance of a leaded glass panel that meets safety glass requirements. The glass panel is preferably constructed by taking an outer panel and bonding to it an inner glass panel, preferably annealed, having a glass joiner therebetween. At least one groove is machined into the outer glass panel and/or the inner glass panel simulating separate glass panel sections. Within the groove a bead, preferably formed of lead, is adhesively placed thereby yielding an overall beveled and leaded appearance.
