The present disclosure involves a device for inserting through adjoining panes of glass, which may be oriented to apply pressure to opposing sides of the glass in one orientation. The device generally comprises a shaft that accepts a fastener, which may be moved to tighten or loosen pressure applied by the device upon the glass. In one embodiment, the device comprises one or more plates for insertion through and placement against opposite sides of the adjoining panes of glass, and which can be used to reduce or remove bowing along the surface of the glass prior to sealing.

A pressure plate for securing at least one glass pane or panel against a frame includes a particular configuration of opposed wings adjoined by at least one resilient web, where raised portions of the opposed wings are moveable across a space towards each other thereby to bend the at least one resilient web out of a rest condition about a line of flexure an amount in proportion to the amount of force applied to the opposed wings.

A dutchy for fastening to a frame, to secure at least one glass pane or panel against the frame, comprises opposed wings adjoined by at least one resilient web disposed substantially within a plane containing a line of flexure along which the at least one web bends. Each wing comprises at least an intermediate portion spaced from the frame, at least one foot for bearing against the glass pane, and at least one raised portion projecting forwardly beyond the front face of the web. A bearing surface for engagement by a fastener is disposed between the respective feet of the opposed wings. The raised portions of the wings are spaced apart along the line of flexure, such that when a force is applied to the bearing surface the web flexes elastically toward the frame, causing the opposed raised portions to move toward each other in proportion to the amount of the applied force.
