<p>PURPOSE: A safety glass structure is provided for a safety glass window structure capable of functionally resisting extreme weather conditions resulting from hurricanes, tornadoes and the like. CONSTITUTION: A safety glass structure (20) which is resistant to extreme wind- and impact-conditions. In particular, the safety glass structure (20) comprises a frame forming an opening and defining an outer rigid channel (1); a laminated glass panel (10) within the opening comprising first and second glass layers (5, 6) bonded to an interlayer of plasticized polyvinyl butyral (7); an inner rigid channel (8) within the frame circumscribing the periphery of and bonded to said laminated glass panel (10) by a self-sealing adhesive (9) which permits no or minimal relative movement between the border area of the panel (10) and said inner rigid channel (8); and said inner rigid channel (8) being mounted in and bonded to the outer rigid channel (1) with a resilient material (11) which permits the panel (10) to flex within its border when exposed to said extreme wind- and impact-conditions. The safety glass structure of the present invention may be used in residential or commercial structures to preserve the integrity of the building in extreme weather conditions.</p> |
