Claim:
A mounting structure which is arranged on two abutting glass panels ( 1 , 2 ), so that the glass panels are connected with each other, the mounting structure comprising: two pairs of clamping plates ( 3 , 4 ), with the clamping plates of one of said pairs being fixed to opposite sides of one of said glass panels, and with the clamping plates of the other pair being fixed to opposite sides of the other one of said glass panels, with the inner sides of the clamping plates abutting the corresponding sides of the glass panels ( 1 , 2 ), wherein the clamping plates ( 3 , 4 ) of each pair of clamping plates have, at the outer sides thereof, undercut longitudinal slots ( 5 ) with a bottom and undercut shoulders ( 8 ), with the clamping plates of one pair ( 4 ) abutting at least one clamping plate of the other pair ( 3 ) in a manner that the undercut slots of the abutting clamping plates are mutually aligned; and a connecting plate ( 6 ) located in the mutually aligned longitudinal slots of two of the abutting clamping plates and fixed to the abutting clamping plates ( 3 , 4 ) by locking screws ( 7 ) which are threaded through the connecting plate ( 6 ) and abut against the bottom of the mutually aligned longitudinal slots ( 5 ) to push the connecting plate against the inner sides of the undercut shoulders ( 8 ) of the respective undercut slot ( 5 ) in the abutting clamping plates ( 3 , 4 ), thereby connecting the abutting clamping plates together.
