This invention provides a sealing spacer for spacing apart two window panes to form a window assembly. The spacer has an elongated, flexible strip having opposed edge surfaces and opposed side surfaces. The spacer also has a fiber reinforced polymer layer over the elongated, flexible strip. The opposed edge surfaces undulate with crests and troughs. The spacer has an activatable sealant for directly sealingly securing the flexible strip to each of the two window panes. The activatable sealant is on each of the opposed side surfaces of the fiber reinforced polymer. The invention also provides methods for making the spacer and window assembly.

The present invention relates to a spacer 101 for forming a spacing between glass panes 201, 203, with a top part 103 and a lower metal foil 105, the two parts introduces an overlap 209, 211 parallel to the sidewalls of the spacer. By having overlapping regions at the side walls the spacer is stiffened and thereby spacers can be produced of quite thin material e.g. only thin metal foil.

An edge bond bracket for an insulating glass unit extends in a longitudinal direction with a constant cross-section and includes an at least substantially U-shaped bracket body made of a material having a specific thermal conductivity less than or equal to 0.3 W/(mK). The bracket body includes at least one base, a first side wall and a second side wall. At least two troughs are defined in the base between the first side wall and the second side wall for accommodating adhesive and a pane. A gas impermeable diffusion barrier layer is formed integrally on and/or in the bracket body, extends continuously between two troughs starting from an inner wall of one of the two troughs and ending on an inner wall of the other of the two troughs, and extends either along an outer side of the U-shape of the bracket body or through the bracket body.

A Vacuum Insulating Glazing Unit (VIGU) comprises two or more glass lites (panes) spaced apart from one another and hermetically bonded to an edge seal assembly therebetween. The resulting cavity between the lites is evacuated to create at least one insulating vacuum cavity within which are disposed a plurality of stand-off members to maintain separation between the lites. The edge seal assembly is preferably compliant in the longitudinal (i.e., edgewise) direction to allow longitudinal relative motion between the two lites (e.g., from thermal expansion). The longitudinal compliance may be obtained by imprinting a three-dimensional pattern into the edge seal material. The edge seal assembly is preferably bonded to the lites with a first bond portion that is hermetic and a second bond portion that is load-resistant. Methods for producing VIGUs and/or compliant edge seal assemblies and VIGU and edge seal apparatus are disclosed.

The present invention provides spacer stock for making a spacer frame for a multi-sheet unit. The spacer stock includes a first supporting surface; a second supporting surface opposite to, and facing away from, the first supporting surface; a base surface between and connecting the first and second supporting surfaces, and wherein the first and second supporting surfaces and base surface are made of plastic and rate of moisture and/or gas movement through portions of the first and second supporting surfaces is greater than the rate of moisture and/or gas movement, respectively through the base surface.
摘要:
An insulating unit has a pair of glass sheets about an edge assembly to provide a compartment between the sheets. The edge assembly has a U-shaped spacer made of metal, metal coated plastic, gas and moisture impervious polymer, or gas and moisture impervious film coated polymer. The outer legs of the spacer and the glass provide a long diffusion path to limit the diffusion of argon gas out of the compartment. The edge assembly has materials selected and sized to provide edge assembly having an RES-value of at least 75. A spacer for use in insulating units includes a plastic core having a gas impervious film e.g. a metal film or a halogenated polymer film. Also taught herein are techniques for making the unit and spacer.
摘要:
A spacer stock has a pair of outer legs joined by a base to provide the spacer stock with a generally U-shaped cross section. The outer legs are formed e.g. each leg has a pair of members having a hairpin cross section to reduce the degree of torsional twist of the spacer stock and/or spacer frame with the legs preferably only connected by the base having only one thermal conducting path e.g. through the base from one leg to the other leg. The spacer stock may be shaped or sections of spacer stock joined to provide a spacer frame. The spacer frame may be used to fabricate a multi-sheet glazing unit e.g. by securing a sheet to each of the outer legs with moisture impervious adhesive or sealant.
摘要:
For coating the glass edge of two wall elements (2, 3) forming interspace (5) for heat insulating structural and/or light element (1), metallic adhesive layer (4) is produced with the use of a physical (PVD) or chemical (CVD) deposition of the coating material from a gas or vapor phase on one side of each wall element (2, 3). On this adhesive layer (4) barrier layer (6) protecting the latter is deposited and the barrier layer is provided with subsequent solder layer (7). These solder layers (7) are bonded with sheet (8) that edges structural and/or light element (1) on the edge in a gastight manner.
摘要:
A method of soldering a first, vitreous component for example a sheet to at least one second component which is vitreous or metallic, in which the or each vitreous component is metallized in the joint region(s), the components are assembled together in the required relationship where they may be held by a clamp and the joint region(s) of the assembly is or are dipped in a bath of molten solder to bond it together as a unit. Such a unit may be constituted as an envelope containing one or more electrical circuit components, as a fluid flow directing unit or as a pane for incorporation into a leaded window.
