Abstract
A roof beam construction comprises a glazing bar 10, of inverted T-shape, and upper and lower cappings 12, 14 mounted on the glazing bar and extending laterally on each side thereof for embracing the edges of respective glazing panels 16, 18 located one on each side of the glazing bar. The upper and lower cappings having integrally formed gaskets 30, 32 which engage upper and lower surfaces respectively of the glazing panels. The upper edge of the glazing bar has a pair of channels 20 with internal hooks 22, while the upper capping member 12 has a pair of divergent legs 24 having hooks 26 for engagement with the hooks of the channels.
Description
ROOF BEAM CONSTRUCTION
This invention relates to a roof beam construction, for example for use at the apex of a conservatory roof.
According to the invention there is provided a roof beam construction comprising a glazing bar and upper and lower cappings mounted on the glazing bar and extending laterally on each side thereof for embracing the edges of respective glazing panels located one on each side of the glazing bar, the upper and lower cappings having integrally formed gaskets which engage upper and lower surfaces respectively of the glazing panels.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing whose single figure is a cross-sectional view of a roof beam construction according to the invention.
Referring to the drawing, the roof beam construction according to the embodiment of the invention comprises a glazing bar 10, generally of inverted T shaped cross-section, which is supported between roof beams (not shown). Upper and lower cappings 12, 14 respectively are mounted on the glazing bar 10 and extending laterally on either side thereof for embracing the edges of respective translucent double glazing panels 16, 18 located one on each side of the bar 10.

The glazing bar 10 is preferably extruded from a lightweight metal or metal alloy such as aluminium, and the upper and lower cappings 12, 14 are preferably extruded from a relatively rigid weather and UV resistant plastics material such as PVC.
The upper edge of the glazing bar 10 has a pair of substantially parallel channels 20 each having a stepped outer surface defining a respective downwardly facing hook 22, while the upper capping 12, which is generally of inverted V shaped cross-section, has a pair of downwardly and outwardly divergent resilient legs 24 each having a stepped outer surface defining a respective upwardly facing hook 26.
As seen in the figure, the legs 24 of the upper capping 12 engage in respective ones of the channels 20 of the glazing bar 10 such that the hooks 26 engage behind the hooks 22 to retain the upper capping 12 on the upper edge of the glazing bar 10. It will be understood that the legs 24 of the upper capping 12 are resiliently compressed towards one another as they are inserted into the channels 20, and spring outwardly to the positions shown in the figure as the hooks 22, 26 engage behind one another.
The lower capping 14 is formed as a channel engaging the cross-bar 28 of the T shaped cross-section glazing bar 10.
The upper and lower cappings 12 and 14 have integrally formed gaskets 30, 32 respectively which engage upper and lower surfaces respectively of the glazing panels 16 and 18. The gaskets 30, 32 are formed from rubber or other elastomeric material by co-extrusion with the PVC cappings 12 and 14 respectively.
Claims (5)
1. A roof beam construction comprising a glazing bar and upper and lower cappings mounted on the glazing 5 bar and extending laterally on each side thereof for embracing the edges of respective glazing panels located one on each side of the glazing bar, the upper and lower cappings having integrally formed gaskets which engage upper and lower surfaces respectively of 10 the glazing panels.
2. A roof beam construction as claimed in claim 1, wherein the glazing bar is generally of inverted T shaped cross-section.
3. A roof beam construction as claimed in claim 2, wherein the upper edge of the glazing bar has a pair of substantially parallel channels each having a stepped outer surface defining a respective downwardly facing 20 hook, and wherein the upper capping has a pair of downwardly and outwardly divergent resilient legs each having a stepped outer surface defining a respective upwardly facing hook, the legs of the upper capping engaging in respective ones of the channels of the 25 glazing bar such that the downwardly and upwardly facing hooks engage and retain the upper capping on the upper edge of the glazing bar.
4. A roof beam construction as claimed in claim 2 30 or 3, wherein the lower capping is formed as a channel engaging the cross-bar of the T shaped cross-section glazing bar.
5. A roof beam construction as claimed in any 35 preceding claim, wherein the glazing bar is extruded from a lightweight metal or metal alloy, and the upper and lower cappings are extruded from a plastics material.
