Abstract
The retaining system is for an architectural glazing strip having spring material encased in an elastomer to extend from an anchorage edge of the strip to a glass-engaging edge of the strip. It includes anchorage means for securing the anchorage edge of the strip in place around the periphery of a glass panel so the glass-engaging edge of the strip is cantilevered outward for pressing against the glass panel. A length of a retainer strip that is generally wedge shaped in cross section is driven into a recess in the anhcorage extending along the anchorage edge of the glazing strip opposite the glass panel so that the wedge-shaped strip supports the glazing strip in an installed position with the glass-engaging edge pressing against the glass panel with a predetermined force. Interference means between the recess and the wedge-shaped strip retains the wedge-shaped strip in place.
