  • Patent number: 4766709
    Abstract: A sturdy and reliable mount for a double-paned glass unit that is readily used with standard glass units and frames, that is easily installed, that eliminates the need for endcaps or exterior stops, and that uses a flexible connector member as part of the mount is disclosed. The application of such a securement as a secondary mount to back-up a primary mount for a double-paned glass unit, such as a structural silicone adherent, is a particularly advantageous use of the invention. An embodiment includes a resilient, or flexible, elastomeric member having a first portion received in a channel formed between the glass plates of a double-paned glass unit and a second portion extending beyond the perimeter of the glass unit. The second portion of the resilient member is fixed to the structure on which the glass unit is to be mounted, such as a building. The invention can also be used with a double-paned glass unit having an inset exterior glass plate.
