A device for mounting double-glazing onto a fixed frame is formed by two distinct members, the first of which at which is mechanically bonded to the double-glazing and the second is secured to the frame. The two members are coupled together by a pivotal connection. This device enables any stress applied to the glass to be considerably reduced, thus prolonging the life thereof and reducing the quantity of adhesive required.

In combination with insulating double-glazing formed by two sheets of glass held in place by a spacer bonded thereto, and a first sealant filling a space defined between said spacer and peripheral edges of said sheets of glass, a device for mounting the double-glazing to a fixed frame of border structure defining an opening in a wall, said device comprising: a first elongate connecting member extending along at least one pair of opposite peripheral edges of said sheets of glass, said first elongate connecting member including a strip portion at least partially embedded edgewise in said first sealant so as to be bonded to said sheets of glass at the edges thereof, and a pivot portion integral with said strip portion at a free edge thereof, said pivot portion comprising a plurality of sphere-shaped elements defining a pivotal axis parallel to the at least one pair of peripheral edges of said sheets of glass; a second elongate connecting member having a receiving portion defining a longitudinally extending bore therein and in which bore said pivot portion of the first connecting member is housed with the pivotal axis defined thereby extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of said bore, and a mounting portion coextensive with said receiving portion; and means for fixing said mounting portion to the frame such that the insulating double-glazing is capable of being fixedly mounted to the border structure through a pivotal connection established between said pivotal portion and said receiving portion to allow a partial relative deformation of said sheets of glass and the structure.
