ABSTRACT:
The assembly of the present invention is particularly designed for the mounting of a windshield on a motor vehicle where the windshield is vulnerable to impact from outside or from inside the vehicle due to collision and the like, although the invention may have a more generalized application for the securing of a glass pane in window openings. Briefly the assembly comprises the following elements:
a windshield and an annular attaching member extending peripherally around and bonded to the windshield and extending radially from the outer edge of the windshield and being dimensioned and shaped for mounting in confronting relation to the conventional pinch weld flange of the vehicle, or equivalent;
an annular resiliently compressible gasket dimensioned and shaped for mounting between the attaching member and flange and providing a seal therebetween; and
fasteners for securing the attaching member and flange and placing the gasket under partial compression and which are formed to cofunction with the member and flange to provide a resiliently floating mounting of the windshield. A final piece of annular trim is adapted for securing by either the fasteners or the supporting member and provides a finished closure between the outer edge of the windshield and the adjacent vehicle body.
