Abstract
An assembly for mechanically hanging a glazing element to a supporting structure uses an articulated fixing system allowing the plate to tilt about its support point on said system. It includes a cavity defining element engaging the glazing element and a carrying element connectable to the supporting structure and having a portion fittable in a cavity defined by said cavity defining element so as to form an articulated connection with said cavity defining element. The articulated connection has a bearing region and supports the glazing element for turning with a pendular motion about the bearing region. This makes possible a bending movement of controlled amplitude of the glazing element.
