Abstract
An outside edge of a glass pane and a coextensive inside edge of a frame are connected together by a glass-mount assembly having a T-section outer seal strip fixed to an inner face of one of the edges and having an inwardly projecting T-leg and a U-section inner seal strip fixed to the other edge and forming an outwardly open groove snugly receiving the T-leg, and a plurality of screw fasteners each having a part bearing outward on the inner seal strip and a shank engaged in the T-leg of the inner seal strip. The outer strip is provided with a plurality of inwardly open threaded sleeves each receiving a respective one of the shanks. These sleeves can be part of one or more metal reinforcement profiles imbedded in the outer strip. Alternately the screw fasteners are self-tapping screws and the outer seal strip is formed with a plurality of inwardly open blind bores each receiving a respective one of the screws. Either way, the inner strip is formed with a plurality of counterbored through-going holes through each of which passes a respective one of the screws. The inner strip can be provided with an imbedded metallic reinforcement through which the screws pass. The outer-strip reinforcement is exposed at an inner face of the T-leg. In addition the inner-strip reinforcement is inwardly exposed and directly engaged by the screw parts, normally screw heads.
