A glass mounting arrangement for mounting a window glass in a window frame comprises a channel-shaped flexible strip which has apertures at intervals therealong. Each aperture sealingly receives an arm of a respective mounting clip. Each mounting clip has a U-shaped portion which seats in a recess in the channel of the strip. The strip with the clips mounted therein is placed on and along the peripheral edge of the window glass before the latter is offered up to the window frame. As the window glass is moved bodily towards the window frame, the arms contact the window frame and correctly position the window glass with respect to the window frame. The arms of the clips elastically deform to allow locking shoulders to pass over the edge of the frame, the arms thereafter resiling to secure the window glass in position. Lips provide additional sealing. The mounting arrangement is particularly suitable for use with a robot.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A glass mounting arrangement for securing a pane of window glass in a frame, comprising a flexible strip for providing a seal between an edge of the window glass and the frame, a least one clip for gripping the edge of the glass and for mechanically securing the glass relative to the frame, and means for locating and securing the clip relative to the strip, the clip including a U-shaped portion, said U-shaped portion embracing the said edge of the window glass, said clip further including securing means, operative when the strip with the clip secured thereon is fitted to the window glass, for lockingly engaging the frame, the securing means comprising a locking portion extending from the U-shaped portion for mechanically locking the clip relative to the frame after the clip has been secured to the strip.
2.
The arrangement according to claim 1, in which the securing means comprises an aperture defined in the strip and through which the locking portion of the clip passes.
3.
The arrangement according to claim 1, in which the securing means comprises a channel in the strip for receiving the U-shaped portion of the clip.
4.
The arrangement according to claim 3, in which the said channel extends longitudinally of the strip and embraces the edge of the window glass when the strip with the clip secured thereto is fitted to the edge of the glass, the U-shaped portion of the clip also embracing the said edge.
5.
The arrangement according to claim 3, in which the strip includes at least one flexible lip extending inwardly of the channel from an internal wall thereof for sealingly engaging a face of the window glass.
6.
The arrangement according to claim 1, in which the locking portion defines a locking formation for lockingly engaging the window frame.
7.
The arrangement according to claim 6, in which the locking portion is elastically deformable to enable the window glass with the strip and the clip fitted thereto to be moved into position on the window frame, the locking portion deforming during such movement upon contact with the frame and thereafter resiling to enable the locking formation to move into locking relationship with the frame
