This peripheral member is for use in a frame holding one or more window panes and in a framework for attachment along the inside of a window opening in a building structure. It has a hollow rectangular main body and a narrower rectangular extension. The main body and the extension form a right-angled inside corner where their adjoining sides present intersecting longitudinal recesses. These sides of the main body and the extension have longitudinal grooves located away from the inside corner. The remaining faces of the main body and the extension are flat, including a face on the extension that is a co-planar continuation of a corresponding face on the main body.

The combination of a window comprising; a flat rectangular window pane; a plurality of elongated peripheral members extending respectively along the edges of said window pane, each of said peripheral members having: an elongated main body of generally rectangular cross-section with a first side presenting an exposed flat face, an outer end presenting an exposed flat outer end face perpendicularly intersecting said exposed face of said firt side at a first outside corner on said main body, a second side presenting an exposed flat face perpendicularly intersecting said outer end face at a second outside corner on said main body and extending from said outer end face parallel to said exposed face of said first side, and an inner end extending substantially parallel to said outer end perpendicularly between said first and second sides and in close proximity to an adjacent edge of the window pane, said inner end forming a third outside corner with said exposed face of said second side; said inner end having a longitudinal groove therein near said third outside corner and spaced behind the rear face of the window pane, and said inner end having a longitudinal recess therein next to said inside corner and extending across the adjacent edge of the window and an elongated extension of generally rectangular cross-section joined to said main body at said inner end and projecting from said main body across the front face of the window pane, said extension having a first side presenting an exposed flat face which is a coplanar continuation of said exposed face of said first side of the main body, an outer end presenting an exposed end face intersecting and extending transversely from said exposed face of said first side of the extension at a fourth outside corner spaced from said inner end of the main body, and a second side extending next to the front face of the window pane generally parallel to said first side of the extension from said outer end of the extension to said inner end of the main body, said second side of the extension forming a fifth outside corner with said end face of the extension and forming an inside corner with said inner end of the main body; and a flexible and resilient glazing strip having a snap-in engagement between said peripheral member and the window pane, said glazing strip having a transverse flange on one end seated in said groove in said inner end of said main body of the peripheral member, an arcuate leg extending from said flange toward the rear face of the window pane, a front leg extending from said arcuate leg across the rear face of the window pane and toward said inner end of said main body of the peripheral member, and a flange extending forward from said front leg into said recess in said inner end of said main body of the peripheral member and engaging the adjacent edge of the window pane, said glazing strip holding said window pane against said second side of the extension on the peripheral member; and a framework for attachment along the edge of an opening for the window in a building, said framework comprising: a rectangular assembly of elongated peripheral members each adapted to extend along a corresponding edge of the opening and each having: an elongated main body of generally rectangular cross-section with a first side presenting an exposed flat face, an outer end presenting an exposed flat outer end face perpendicularly intersecting said exposed face of said first side at a first outside corner on said main body, a second side presenting an exposed flat face perpendicularly intersecting said outer end face at a second end corner on said main body and extending from said outer end face parallel to said exposed face of said first side, and an inner end extending substantially parallel to said outer end perpendicularly between said first and second sides, said inner end forming a third outside corner with said exposed face of said second side; and an elongated extension of generally rectangular cross-section joined to said main body at said inner end and projecting from said main body in the direction away from said outer end of the main body, said extension having a first side presenting an exposed flat face which is a coplanar continuation of said exposed face of said first side of the main body, an outer end presenting an exposed end face intersecting and extending transversely from said exposed face of said first side of the extension at a fourth outside corner spaced from said inner end of the main body, and a second side extending generally parallel to said first side of the extension from said outer end of the extension to said inner end of the main body, said second side of the extension forming a fifth outside corner with said end face of the extension and forming an inside corner with said inner end of the main body; each of said peripheral members of said framework having its said inner end extending from said second outside corner of an adjacent peripheral member on the window part-way across said second side of said adjacent peripheral member on the window; and each of said peripheral members of said framework having said second side of its extension extending from said second outside corner of said adjacent peripheral member on the window part-way across said outer end of said adjacent peripheral member on the window.
