Abstract (en)

[origin: US6546690B1] An especially stable glass module (3) that is resistant to bending stress and releases no shards when shattered. The module can be employed to construct an area of a wall, roof, or ceiling entirely of glass and without frames or fittings of metal or another material. The module (3) consists at least two components (31 and 35) fastened total surface to total surface by cement or laminating adhesive. At least one component is a length of glass L or U structural section. The lengths are preferably of clear or ornamental glass, rolled glass, or reinforced glass, wire-reinforced glass or single-pane safety glass for instance. A wall, roof, or ceiling area composed of such modules will not need auxiliary support and will comply with strict specifications for the safety of anyone under it.
