Abstract
A detachable mounting of a window pane to a frame of a window opening is disclosed for use primarily in motor-vehicles. The window pane is provided on its edges with a profiled frame made of elastomer. This profiled frame has a U-shaped segment with an opening facing the fixing rim of the frame of the window opening, the internal cross-section of the segment widening outwards, so as to receive a mounting bead of adhesive. The flanges of the U-shaped segment are themselves provided on the inside with retaining projections. The profiled frame and the bead of adhesive do not adhere to each other, the joint being provided solely by mechanical interlocking between the retaining projections and the bead of adhesive after it cures. Because of the shape of the profiled frame, the window pane may be re-installed after having been temporarily removed from the window frame by pressing it toward the cured bead of adhesive which remains attached to the fixing rim, until there is complete interlocking of the two elements beyond the retaining projections.
