I is a sectional perspective view of my improved glazing bar and cap.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of rib carrying soft metal glazing bar.
Fig. 3 is a modification of Fig. 2.
I form a soft metal glazing bar A with corrugated cap B, in one piece, with
channels C for moisture or condensation, and projections D for the glass E to rest
upon. This bar has also a lower vertical rib F, preferably enlarged at its lower
end G; its horizontal arms H being each supported by a hard metal arm or arms J,
having each a vertical rib K, which encase the vertical rib F of the soft metal
glazing bar, the said ribs being secured together preferably by bolts, rivets, or
screws L, see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 so making a strong, durable, and efficient
glazing bar.
Or the metal clips or ribs K may terminate immediately below the enlarged
part G, and have only one bolt or screw see Fig. 3.
