Abstract
Abstract A heat-insulating frame assembly for use at a corner of a curtain wall construction has an inner frame member having a pair of mutually perpendicular outer walls and an outer frame member having a pair of outer walls extending normally to each other and parallel to the outer walls of the inner frame member. The inner and outer frame members are interconnected by screws fastening the outer walls of the inner and outer frame members through heat-insulating spacers.
