H=section mullion for releasable mounting of glazed panels - has sub-flanges and houses clips retaining panel ends and masking strips

摘要

The 'H' section post (1) and clip (13) assembly may be deployed as a mullion and affords a rapidly demountable fixation for glazed (23) or plain (22) cavity-panels. The section (1) is symmetrical about two perpendicularly orientated axes and may have eight projecting sub-flanges (7, 30). The main 'H' receives winged 'U' section spring steel clips (13) in each channel, and the wings (14) of the clips clamp panel edges against sub-flanges (7). The assembly may also receive clip-on external (26) and internal masking sections (29). The channels formed by the basic 'H' may have longitudinal rib formations on the opposed inner walls and serving to locate the body of the clip (13) in reciprocal form. Four of the sub-flanges (7) may project squarely and externally from each leg (6) of the 'H' to form an 'L' shaped seat (5) for each panel end, and the wings of the clips clamp the resp. panels (22, 24) on their seats.
