Providing glass structures with fixing device - by inserting metal profile along length and solidifying using glass mass

摘要

Providing glass bodies with at least two metal profile protrusions which can act as local fixing means consists of locating a metal profile (3) through a prepared opening (2) in a glass structure, filling the gap between the glass and profile with a heated glass mass which is in a molten condition and solidifying the latter to fix the position of the profile. USE/ADVANTAGE - In glass sculptures or lighting devices. Makes the handling of glass structures much easier and avoids the use of ugly anchoring devices.
