<p>The invention disclosed consists of a window or door assembly consisting of a pivotal door or window pane (36), at least one pane retaining frame members (28) and at least one hinge member (24) mountable with the pane retaining member. The assembly is distinguished to conventional assemblies in that there is provided a bead of sealing material (22), preferably silicone rubber, adjoining abutting edges of the pivotal pane (36) with a fixed pane (10) of the window or door. The seal (22) remains in place while the panel (36) is being pivoted. The combination reduces the amount of framing required in the construction of a window while at the same time increasing the amount of glass with a nearly invisible joint between the pivotal pane and the fixed pane.</p> |
