Abstract
The invention relates to a retaining means (10) for fixing panel-form material, for example, glass panes (12) of a glass facing, to a substructure (14). The invention proposes constructing the retaining means (10) with a support (16), in which supporting elements (22) projecting pivotally to the side are insertable, to which the glass panes (121) can be displaceably fixed. The invention has the advantage that in a simple and inexpensive manner it permits stress-free fixing of glass panes (12) so that thermal expansion is compensated.
