  • Patent number: 5546713
    Abstract: A framing system is provided for supporting glazing elements on a substrate, such as a building framework or an existing glazing system. The framing system includes a plurality of frames surrounding and supporting respective glazing elements. A plurality of frame members are joined to form sides of each frame. Each frame member includes a rabbet for receiving the glazing element having a pair of spaced sides and a base connecting said spaced sides, and a flange extending outwardly from the rabbet base. Flanges of frame members overlap with flanges of adjacent frame members of adjacent frames. Fasteners extend through the flanges for attaching the framing system to the substrate.
