| 摘要 | A wall or other support has an opening in which one or more frameless glass panes of a window or door are located. The panes are secured to the adjacent support by hinges which are adjustable so as to permit adjustment of the pane or panes within the opening, and which have a portion directly connected with the respective pane, as by welding or bonding. Suitable latches or similar securing means are also provided, and at least one component of such latch or securing means is also directly connected to the respective pane or panes. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. In a structure of the character described, in combination, support means having an opening; at least one glass pane in said opening; mounting means mounting said pane to said support means for displacement with reference to said opening, said mounting means comprising at least one unit having a first section mounted directly on said pane, and a second section mounted on said support means and connected with said first section for relative displacement; and adjusting means for permitting positional adjustment of at least one of said sections so as to at least reduce the transmission of stresses into said glass pane. 2. In a structure as defined in claim 1, said one section having a portion provided with a relatively large-area contact face in contact with and mounted on one side of said glass pane. 3. In a structure as defined in claim 2, wherein said contact face is adhesively mounted on said glass pane. 4. In a structure as defined in claim 2, wherein said contact face is welded to said glass pane. 5. In a structure as defined in claim 1, one of said sections having a pin and the other section having a sleeve normally surrounding said pin so that said sections together constitute a hinge; and wherein said adjusting means comprises a spring surrounding said pin intermediate said sections. 6. In a structure as defined in claim 1, one of said sections having a pin and the other section having a sleeve normally surrounding said pin so that said sections together constitute a hinge; and wherein said adjusting means comprises an elastomeric cylindrical element interposed between said pin and sleeve so as to permit relative movement of said sections in direction longitudinally as well as transversely of said pin. 7. In a structure as defined in claim 1, wherein said pane is a window pane. 8. In a structure as defined in claim 1, wherein said pane is a door pane. 9. In a structure as defined in claim 1, wherein said adjusting means comprises fastening means for fastening said second section to said support means in such a manner as to be adjustable relative to said support means in a plurality of mutually inclined directions. 10. In a structure as defined in claim 9, said adjusting means comprising a mounting hole in said second section and a threaded fastener of substantially smaller cross-sectional area than said mounting hole, extending through the latter and into said support means. 11. In a structure as defined in claim 1; and further comprising elastically yieldable compensating means interposed between said glass pane and said first section. 12. In a structure as defined in claim 11, said first section having an outline, and said compensating means comprising at least one compensating element projecting outwardly beyond said outline and having edge portions and a thickness which decreases outwardly in direction towards said edge portions. 13. In a structure as defined in claim 11, said compensating means comprising at least two compensating elements interposed between said first section and said pane, and being spaced from one another. 14. In a structure as defined in claim 13; further comprising a guide rail mounted on said compensating elements, and a slide rail slidably guided on said guide rail, said first section being mounted on said slide rail. 15. In a structure as defined in claim 11, said glass pane having a projection, and said compensating means comprising at least one compensating element embracing said projection and interposed between the same and said first section. 16. In a structure as defined in claim 11, said glass pane having a depression, and said compensating means comprising at least one compensating element accommodated in said depression and interposed between said glass pane and said first section. 17. In a structure of the character described, in combination, support means having an opening; at least one glass pane in said opening and subject to expansion and contraction in at least one direction; mounting means mounting said glass pane to said support means for displacement with reference to said opening, said mounting means comprising at least one unit having a first section mounted directly on said glass pane and a second section mounted on said support means and connected with said first section for relative displacement in said one direction; and resilient adjusting means interposed between said sections and permitting positional adjustment of said sections relative to one another in said one direction during expansion and/or contraction of said glass pane so as to at least reduce the transmission of stresses to said glass pane. 18. In a structure of the character described, in combination, support means having an opening; at least one frame-less glass pane in said opening; a hinge mounting said glass pane in said opening and comprising a first hinge section fixedly mounted on said support means, and a cooperating second hinge section directly mounted on said glass pane; and a resilient compensating element interposed between said hinge sections so as to compensate for stresses resulting from differential thermal expansion and/or contraction of said support means and glass pane. |
