Definitions
- the exemplary and non-limiting embodiments of this invention relate generally to an insulated glass unit and more particularly to fixing an intermediate film arrangement in the insulated glass unit (IGU) by means of a spacer.
- IGU insulated glass unit
- IGU insulated glass units
- Some IGU employ an intermediate film between the panes.
- film solutions there are some previously described ways of fixing a film.
- US4520611 discloses a film stretching member that imparts a force in a direction angularly displaced to the film surface.
- US4334398 shows (fig. 10) holding of films 1 by circular tubes 8 inserted into a spacer cavity.
- IGUs Insulating glazing units with three or more glass layers are too heavy for standard usage in sizes above a certain threshold.
- One way of lowering the weight of IGUs significantly is to substitute glass with lower density materials such as polymer sheets or films.
- the invention relates to an insulated glass unit according to claim 1 and use of the system according to claim 15.
- Another objective is to provide a spacer with a low profile which enables a large view area for the IGU.
- the present invention provides a spacer system for insulating glazing units in which the spacer 4 fixates one or more films 3 that are suspended inside the enclosed volume spanned by the spacer.
- the plane of the film 3 is substantially parallel with the panes 1,2.
- Figure 1 shows a cross section example of an insulated glass unit comprising a first pane 1 and a second pane 2 spaced apart by a spacer 4.
- a spacer 4 is sealed to provide a sealed enclosure between the panes 1,2.
- the seal (not shown) may be a first seal and a secondary seal which may optionally extend across the whole spacer exterior.
- the spacer 4 has two sides facing the panes 1,2 and an exterior (bottom) which faces away from the enclosed interior space.
- An intermediate film 3 is positioned in the enclosure by means of the spacer 4 and fixed by means of an insertable spring element 5.
- the film 3 is clamped between the spring 5 and spacer 4.
- the film 3 is inserted into a cavity of the spacer 4 and then covered and/or clamped by the spring element 5.
- the film 3 periphery is under the spring 5 and the film 3 is clamped between the spring 5 on one side and the cavity on the other side.
- the spacer 4 is adapted for fitting the film 3 in between the substantially rigid spacer 4 and the spring element 5.
- the spring 5 is in part wrapped by the film 3.
- the spring 5 covers the film 3 and keeps the film 3 in the cavity.
- the cavity may comprise a groove 4c and a shoulder 4e.
- the film 3 may be clamped by the spring 5 between the groove 4c and the shoulder 4e.
- the spacer 4 has a cavity configured to insert the spring element 5 whereby the film 3 is fixed and optionally also kept stretched.
- the spring element 5 presses the film 3 into a groove 4c by means of a slanted surface 4b (guide).
- the friction between the spring 5 and the film 3 may wedge the film 3 and spring 5 into the groove 4c and the slanted surface 4b optionally ensure to stretch the film 3 during assembly.
- slanted surface 4b is understood a surface slanted in relation to the plane of the installed film 3 and the slant is towards the spacer 4 side.
- a slant angle of 30 to 60 degrees compared to the plane of the stretched film may be employed.
- the slanted surface 4b may be a substantially straight line such as an inclined line.
- the spacer cavity comprises a slanted portion 4b, slanted in relation to the plane of the stretched film 3 and slant towards the spacer side and terminates in a groove 4c configured to accept one end of the spring element 5.
- the slanted surface 4b has a shoulder 4e opposite to the groove 4c configured to accept the second end of the spring element 5.
- the groove 4c may be substantially V shaped.
- the groove 4c is narrowing towards its inner end in order to guide the spring 5 and wedge the film 3.
- the spacer 4 may have a ledge 4f which extends in part over the groove 4c.
- the ledge 4f covers one end of the spring element 5 whereby the film is folded to provide a good hold.
- the ledge 4f extends over the spacer cavity.
- the ledge 4f extends over the spacer cavity and is opposite to a spring 5 fixating shoulder 4e.
- the ledge 4f bends the film 3 substantially transversally to the plane of the intermediate film 3.
- the ledge 4f defines the intermediate film 3 plane/position and enhances the film hold.
- the spacer cavity has a protruding shoulder 4e opposite the groove 4c, and the shoulder 4e is configured to snap fix the spring element 5.
- the spring element 5 is fixed in the cavity by means of the groove 4c and shoulder 4e. This enhances the installation of the film 3 assembly.
- the spacer 4 comprises one or more grooves that are specially designed for containing a preferably metallic spring element 5 such as a leaf spring, resilient strip, a compressible wedge or a compressible shim.
- Figure 2 shows an embodiment with two films 3a and 3b. Hereby insulation may be further enhanced even though assembly requires more effort.
- the spacer 4 fixates one or more films 3.
- the spring 5 employs metallic (or less preferred polymer/rubber) spring elements that grip the film 3 tightly, thus dispersing the permanent pull from the film 3 into the spring element 5.
- the spring 5 is configured to resist a permanent pull from a film 3.
- the spring element 5 may comprise shims, wedges, leaf springs, stip springs etc.
- the spring element 5 is inserted on top of the film 3 in the cavity, so the spring element 5 covers at least part of the film 3 when fixed inside the cavity.
- the spring element 5 substantially is a plate spring compressed by bending to one side.
- plural spring elements 5 may be employed to clamp or sandwich the film 3.
- the spring element 5 is a longitudinal member extending along with the spacer 4.
- the spring element 5 is provided by discrete spring members distributed along the spacer 4. The spring element 5 when inserted has a permanent compression and press the film 3 against the cavity so that the film 3 is clamped between the spring 5 and groove 4c and preferably the film 3 is also clamped between the spring 5 and the shoulder 4e.
- the spacer 4 that holds the film 3 and spring elements 5 could be made of reinforced polyurethane that has good rigidity to resist a permanent pull from a film.
- the substantially high specific rigidity of reinforced polyurethanes is one approach to solving the issue of spacer bending when using a film with tension.
- This reinforced and rigid spacer 4 could for example be extruded, cast pultruded in such a way, that it is simultaneously part of the window frame design and/or so that it encapsulates glass sheets and/or polymer sheets (not shown) and optional intermediate sheets in addition to the film.
- the material of the structurally rigid spacer 4 is made of a metal or polymer; preferably polyurethane reinforced by e.g. glassfibres.
- the spacer 4 is made from metal i may be tubular and be roll formed.
- the spacer may be warm edge type.
- the spacer 4 is substantially rigid, and this is understood as rigid in order to be suitable to space apart the panes of an insulated glass unit while maintaining a stretched film 3 and accommodating the force from a spring element 5.
- Figure 4 illustrates how the film 3 stretch forces may provide a pressure effect, but the example also applies to the other figures.
- the vertical stretch force from the film 3 is turned by the cavity ledge 4f (or slant 4b) so the spring 5 is forced sideways.
- the other end of the spring distal from the vertical film 3 is pressed towards the shoulder 4e and this enhances the film 3 fix.
- This mechanism may also help to accommodate the thermal expansion and contraction.
- the spacer 4 may comprise a substantially solid and integral profile (in contrast to the conventional hollow tubular spacers), but the solid profile may of course comprise bubbles etc. Examples on fig. 3 and 4 illustrate that the spacer 4 may comprise a first substantially solid profile and may be combined with a second tubular metal profile 6.
- the second metal profile 6 may face the exterior.
- the spacer 4 may comprise plural parts such as a first part 4 configured to fix the film 3 and a second part 6 configured to space apart the IGU panes or configured to ensure a reduced gas leak.
- the first part 4 may be from polymer while the second part 6 may be from metal such as aluminium.
- the first part 4 faces the interior of the IGU while the second part 6 faces the exterior of the IGU.
- the second metal profile 6 may be a thin metal coating for enhancing the gas impermeability.
- the surfaces of both the spacer 4 element and the spring element 5 could be modified either structurally (e.g. wrt. roughness) or by coating thus modifying their coefficient of friction.
- the spacer 4 comprises solely metallic elements, an additional main advantage is the lack of organic materials (except from the film 3). This means, that there is no degassing of volatile organic compounds from the spacer system.
- the spring element 5 may be provided with a bend, profile or separate handle (not shown) for easier handling and assembly.
