In FIGS.
1A to 1C, the rafter arrangement 10 comprises a glazing bar 12 comprising a main support member 14, and a first cap engaging member 16 extending from an edge region 18 of the support member 14.
The glazing bar 12 is preferably formed of a steel material, but can be formed of any other suitable material, for example aluminium.
The cap engaging member 16 comprises first and second outwardly extending portions 20A, 20B extending in opposite directions from the support member 14, and at the opposite free edge regions of each of the outwardly extending portions 20A, 20B there is provided a securing portion 21A, 21B to which an elongate cap 22, formed of a suitable plastics material is secured, the cap 22 extending the length of the glazing bar 12.
Each of the securing portions 21A, 21B comprises an outwardly curved portion 23, an upwardly extending straight portion 24 running substantially parallel to the support member 14, and an inwardly curved portion 25.
The cap 22 comprises a base member 26 and side portions 27A, 27B which, extend upwardly from the base portion 26 to run parallel to the respective straight portions 24 of the securing portions 21A, 21B, and inwardly extending portions 28A, 28B, sealing members 29A, 29B extend from the inwardly extending portions 28A, 28B respectively and engage the glazing members 30A, 30B.
At the upper edge region 32 of the support member 14 there is provided a second cap engaging member 34 which comprises a first outwardly extending portion 36A extending on one side of the support member 14, and a second outwardly extending member 36B on the opposite side of the support member 14.
The first and second outwardly extending portions 36A, 36B point towards the first cap engaging member 16.
The second cap engaging member 34 engages a second elongate cap 38 which is provided with inwardly extending barbed members 40A, 40B each being provided with a plurality of upwardly facing barbs 42
