A glass panel system including: a lower guide track and an upper guide track; and a first glass panel coupled to the lower guide track and the upper guide track in such a way that the first glass panel is movable along the lower guide track and the upper guide track in their longitudinal direction a guide track placed by the side of the first glass panel; and at least one locking element fastened to the first glass panel and configured to engage the guide track, along which the locking element is movable when the first glass panel is moving. When coupled to the guide track, the locking element supports the first glass panel and is configured to prevent any movement caused by bending of the first glass panel in either one lateral direction or two opposite lateral directions with respect to the guide track.

Glass panel arrangement and a guide track for supporting a glass panel

A sunshade is installed to a glazing part, which comprises a transparent sheet with a first end edge and second end edge and a first side edge and second side edge. The side edges are free edges of the sheet. At least one first fastening element is attached close to the first end edge of the transparent sheet and at least one second fastening element is attached close to the second end edge of the transparent sheet, and the sunshade is suspended on the said fastening elements. The first and second fastening elements are attached to the side edges of the transparent sheet.

Method and fastening element for installing a sunshade in a glazing part

The fastener is intended to be attached to a glazing element, which has a glass sheet and at least one frame part setting against the surface of the glass sheet. The fastener has a support part and a fastening element to be inserted into the gap between the glass sheet and frame. The fastening element comprises a locking element for locking to the surface of the frame part facing the glass sheet. The fastener installed in place remains in place in the gap between the frame part and glass sheet by means of the locking element without any other attachment elements. The locking element can be a locking projection turning to an angle from the plane of the fastening element, a flexible locking tongue turning to an angle from the plane of the fastening element or a rigid locking tip. The support part may comprise gripping means for attaching to the edge rail of the sunshade. In the method the fastener is attached to a glazing element so that at least part of the fastening element of the fastener is inserted into the gap between the glass sheet and frame part and by locking the fastening element to the surface of the frame part facing the glass sheet.
