Abstract: A process is described for installing an automobile glazing by direct gluing in which an extrusion nozzle deposits an adhesive mass in bead form on one of two surfaces to be glued. The bead can either be used directly for gluing or, after hardening, act as a profile placed on glazing which is used as an intermediary between the glazing and a second gluing bead. Embedded within the bead are a plurality of high tensile strength flexible wires. During the removal of the glazing the wires are used to shear the bead where they have been introduced, i.e., either in profile or in the second gluing bead. The wires are positioned so that each has to shear only a part of the section of profile or of the bead.

Abstract: A simulated architectural component such as a framed window or vent is formed by vacuum molding, and includes an undercut or recess on the laterally outer edges of a surrounding frame portion. The undercut is adapted to receive and conceal the abutting edges of aluminum or plastic siding panels of an exterior wall into which such component is installed. The undercut is formed during the vacuum molding process by the use of a split ring which is removed from the mold with the finished part and is thereafter separated from the part as permitted by its split construction.

Abstract: A window structure using a structural retainer support for converting a conventional window into a double insulated window. Sealant tape is applied to the inside periphery of the primary conventional window pane. A thin flat retainer is secured to the window adjacent to the sealant tape. The flat retainer has a flange that is integral with the retainer and extends from its midsection and lies parallel to the adjacent flat portion defining a channel therebetween. A second window pane lies in abutting contact with the flange of the retainer while also lying in abutting contact with the sealant strip which is tacky to provide a dead air space between the two window panes. A trim member is latched to the retainer by having a longitudinally extending strip means that latches into a latch means in the channel of the retainer. The trim member exerts pressure on the second window pane to firmly retain the pane against the sealant tape.
