ABSTRACT:
The storm panel system is utilized in conjunction with a substantially planar storm panel. A pair of rails are adapted to be mounted to opposing sides of adjacent wall portions surrounding a window or opening in a building. Each rail defines a first and a second continuous U-shaped channel. The first U-shaped channel is disposed in a plane substantially parallel to a storm panel plane defined by the storm panel. The second continuous U-shaped channel is disposed in a plane normal to the storm panel plane. The second channel has a channel mouth which abuts and is closed by the adjacent wall portions when the rail is mounted on the wall. Anchor bolts, nails, screws or other mounting devices are utilized to mount each rail on the adjacent wall portion. After the substantially planar storm panel is placed between the pair of rails covering the window or opening, a plurality of spring load clips is utilized to retain the storm panel on the building. Each spring load clip has a U-shaped leg which is adapted to be inserted into the first U-shaped channel by an interference fit. Each clip also includes a body section, preferably a solid triangular body section, which transfers horizontally directed forces from the storm panel to the U-shaped clip leg. Each clip also includes a contact leg normal to the U-shaped clip leg which has a terminal end which contacts the storm panel when the clip is inserted into the rail.
