Abstract: A plastic material is injected in the fluid state into a flexible closed mold (2, 3) comprising a molding cavity (6) in which is placed the edge of the glass pane (5). The plastic material is injected into the cavity (6) of the mold in the inert state and is then activated by high-frequency electromagnetic radiation or by microwave radiation. An insert (22) is placed in the cavity (6) of the mold before the injection of the plastic material. The injection and the subsequent hardening of the plastic material are carried out inside the cavity of the mold (6) [sic] in which cavity are arranged, during these operations, the edge (5a) of the glass pane (5), and the insert (22) in their definitive relative position on the glass pane in the shaped state. The invention can be used to produce glass panes for motor vehicles, comprising inserts consisting of trim strips, for a decorative purpose, or of elements such as ducts, cables or fastening screws having a functional purpose.

The column member is equipped with perpendicular connectors which are inserted into openings of the prefabricated walls. The connectors are sufficiently longer than the thickness of the wall and engage onto the connecting member. The connecting member includes a mesh area to restrict the flow of concrete poured into cavities defined by two walls and a plurality of connecting members. Concrete may be poured into all or selective cavities depending on the use and purpose of the wall structure. The prefabricated wall may comprise a base wall, a mesh, a screen, a brace, an insulation, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A sheet metal mini-wall parapet structure is provided. The structure is basically a U-shaped member formed of sheet metal. At one lower corner of the U-shaped member is formed the cleat used to attach the conventional coping member. The cleat is formed by extending one leg of the U-shaped member downwardly and folding it over in a continuous fashion with an extension from the bottom of the U-shaped member. The upright legs of the U-shaped member are staggered in height so that when a top member is attached, the top member is sloped in one direction so that any water accumulating on the top of the mini-wall parapet is drained toward the roof. The top member is usually of 3/4" pressure treated plywood which is screwed into bent over flanges along the tops of each leg of the U-shaped member. Before the top member is screwed into place, the void within the sheet metal legs can be filled with insulation to minimize heat loss through the mini-wall parapet.
