ABSTRACT:
A device, for supporting a heavyweight panel in a curtain wall unit or partition having a rectangular frame, comprises a horizontal support plate adapted to support the panel at its lower edge thereof, and a vertical plate extending downwardly and centrally from the horizontal support plate. At least one projection is disposed on the underside or upper side of the horizontal support plate adjacent to an interior edge thereof for being fitted in at least one opening in an interior part of a lower horizontal frame member. The device also may have a plurality of parallel first reinforcing ribs on an interior face of the vertical plate and a plurality of parallel second reinforcing ribs on an exterior face of the vertical plate. Each of the first reinforcing ribs have an interior face lying at a right angle with respect to the underside face of the horizontal support plate for intimate contact with an exterior vertical wall of the interior frame member part when the projection is fitted in the opening in the same interior frame member part. In another form, the first reinforcing ribs are ommitted, and the projection is upwardly directed.
