Abstract
An adjustable setting block assembly is disclosed for supporting and leveling infill panels such as window panes and the like. The setting block assembly includes a setting block and a thrust plate positioned adjacent the lower surface of the block. A bolt is threadingly engaged within a threaded bore in the block, and the bolt has a tip which bears against the thrust plate as the bolt is advanced within the threaded bore. A load exerted on the upper surface of the block, such as by a glass light resting on the block, is thus supported by the tip of the bolt bearing against the thrust plate. In the disclosed embodiment the tip of the bolt which bears against the thrust plate is radiused to facilitate limited pivotable movement between the bolt and the thrust plate. Also in the disclosed embodiment a pad is imposed against the upper surface of the block to provide a cushioned surface for supporting the glass lite. Preferably the thrust plate and pad are temporarily affixed to the block by an adhesive bond, such as that provided by double-sided tape.
