Abstract
The invention is a glazing panel wall system having unique and advantageous glazing clips. The clips, several different embodiments of which are described, serve to hold the glazing panels and frame member face covers in place. The system comprises the various glazing clips; interconnected frame members, each frame member having recesses adapted for containing glazing panels and a channel adapted for engaging the clips; and face covers which are placed over the front face of the frame members. The invention thus provides a convenient, time-saving, and very effective way of constructing a glazing panel wall.
