Patent ID: 8443559

Claim:
A fastening device for first and second substrates of a multiple glazing unit, the device comprising: a retaining element placed between at least one of the first and second substrates facing one another and a supporting structure, the retaining element being configured to transfer loads of the first and second substrates to the supporting structure, wherein the retaining element includes: a sliding element that allows a relative movement between the first and second substrates, the sliding element including a first element, fixedly attached to the first substrate, and a second element, and a compensating element that compensates for dimensional variations, the compensating element including a two-part device with eccentric element including two rings, the two rings including a first inner ring disposed within a second outer ring, one of the rings being fixedly attached to the second substrate and the other one of the rings being fixedly attached to the second element of the sliding element, wherein the first and second elements of the sliding element are freely slidable one relative to the other in a direction perpendicular to the substrates in an assembled state of the retaining element attached between the first and second substrates.
