Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0972905A2] A method for mounting glass facade panels (70) at a spacing from a support wall (14) has struts incorporating ball and socket joints, with one of the joints (15) near to the plane of the glass to reduce stresses from thermal expansion. The socket cup (28) is inside a support sleeve (30) in a fitting through a hole in the glass and with a support flange (34) on the inside of the glass. The ball joint (26) is fitted to the end of a sleeve (18) screwed inside the support strut (16) and is retained by a clip (72) fitted into the socket sleeve and gripping under the ball profile.
