Abstract
Abstract A facade screen for a building which can be assembled on site. Each screen consists essentially of I-shaped vertical members, sliding supports running on fins on the vertical members, and horizontal members affixed to the supports. Both vertical and horizontal members are adapted to receive flexible seals which extend between the members and glass or other panels forming part of the screen. Assembly of the frame uses a minimum of screwed fixtures, most of the parts being sprung or slid into position.
