Abstract

Prismatic plates are float-mounted between glass panes of a composite window by means of a spacer which is attached to the inside of a bridge which connects the glass panes. This attachment comprises a dove-tailed groove and a prismatic component which fits into the groove. This connection allows the components to be displaced in the event of thermal expansion and also permits easy assembly.
