ABSTRACT:
Glass restraint system for windows, including a film, means for adhesively affixing it to a window pane, and a securing means for clamping the edges of the film to the window frame or mullion and providing an aesthetically pleasing cap and seal around the window. The securing means includes a trough-shaped baseplate with upwardly projecting sides, the outer surfaces of which have captivation grooves extending along the length of the baseplate, and an inverted trough-shaped cap having a top and two sides which fit over the baseplate. The sides of the cap are provided with inwardly protruding ribs on the inside faces that are configured to snap into the captivation grooves for securing the cap to the baseplate so that the cap and baseplate form a four-sided, substantially rectangular framing assembly. The cap also has at least one narrow protruding rib extending inwardly on the window facing side from the level of the cap top, the rib being configured so as to leave a small gap between the rib and the window pane. A flexible gasket is engaged by the rib or ribs and used to maintain a sealing pressure against the film covering the window to prevent moisture and other contaminants from accumulating behind the cap.
