Abstract

A decorative art glass grid system is intended for use in a double window pane unit. The unit itself fits into a window frame. The grid system comprises at least two notched elongated members to form a grid, a set of holding feet slidably positioned in the terminuses of the elongated members and, optionally, a set of resting pads positioned in the elongated members. Each notched elongated member has a first groove extending along one wall of the member to receive an edge of an art glass pane, a second groove extending along an opposite wall of the member to receive an edge of another art glass pane, an interior channel, and a notch in a third wall of the member. The notch is configured to have a dove tail-shaped receiving section and a centered recessed section to receive another notched elongated member in a locked and substantially wobble-free manner. Each holding foot has a substantially flat base which has a groove in one face to receive the edge of an art glass pane and a post extending substantially vertically from the flat base to fit into the interior channel of the notched elongated member to hold it in place. Each resting pad has a flexible head portion which receives an edge of an art glass pane. The grid system is readily adapted to any size window frame and art glass pane. It is readily assembled in the field and securely holds decorative art glass panes in a secure manner.
