Abstract
A structure for mounting a panel in a panel mounting frame to form a door, window, or the like comprises bilateral vertical frame elements, an upper transverse frame element and a lower transverse frame element assembled to form a quadrangular panel mounting frame. Each of the bilateral vertical frame elements has a recessed groove and a receiving means. A first bead member is attached to each of the vertical frame elements by an attachment means inserted in the recessed groove. A second bead member is also attached to each of the vertical frame elements by an engaging means engaged with a receiving means. A panel is mounted so that each of its bilateral vertical edge portions is disposed between the first bead member and the second bead member.
