Abstract
The present invention relates to an arrangement of mounting sections for the fastening of a pane of glass, particularly an outer wall or roof glazing, on a facade substructure. The edge of a pane of glass is to be gripped in firm application by a mounting section and nevertheless the danger of the breaking of the edge of the pane of glass is to be avoided. For this purpose, each mounting section is so developed, arranged or supported outside the edge of the pane of glass that, upon a bending of the pane, it carries out a predetermined turning movement around an axis of turn lying parallel to the edge of the pane of glass and outside of it. Furthermore, each mounting section is so developed with flexural elasticity in combination with the facade substructure bearing it or the play between mounting section and substructure that it can yield, following a bending of the edge of the pane of glass, within certain limits.
