ABSTRACT:
A support frame for receiving and retaining a panel of glass as part of a wall or door assembly. This support frame includes an integrally, formed body of uniform cross section and unibody construction having (i) a pair of opposing side walls joined by (ii) an interconnecting support bridge which extends between opposing inner faces of the side walls and includes an upper and a lower face. The inner faces of the side walls and upper face of the support bridge define a channel configured to receive the panel of glass at one edge. The support bridge includes a recessed slot formed into one of the faces to sufficient depth to form a hinge axis operable with respect to the opposing side walls for enabling rotational displacement of the inner faces against the inserted glass panel in a gripping manner. Screws are inserted through an opening in one side wall into a threaded opening in the second side wall and operate to draw the two side walls into gripping contact at the glass panel.
