Abstract

Second glazing (4) is surrounded by a frame having a flange (7) extending laterally therefrom, applied onto an existing glazing (1) via an intermediate sealing member (8). The second glazing (4) is pressed towards the existing glazing (1) air-tight or substantially air-tight sealing of the moulding onto (1) by a fillet a. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Method of applying a second glazing in spaced relationship over an existing glazing of a window The present invention relates to a method of applying a second glazing in spaced relationship over an existing glazing of a window and to a double glazed window produced by such method. It is known to provide double glazed windows to insulate against heat losses and noise. Such double glazing may be formed in several ways. According to a known method to obtain double glazing in a window, an additional window frame enclosing a glazing is mounted onto the frame of an existing window by means of screws or other fastening means. The double glazing obtained in this manner has the disadvantage that the spacing between both glazings is not air-tight so that dirt and moisture may penetrate into the spacing resulting in an obstruction of the view through the glazings.Also the additional window, mounted onto an existing window has a spoiling effect thereon.
There also exists a known double glazing comprising two sheets of glass mounted in spaced relationship to each other, which sheets are sealed at their edges in an airtight manner to one another.
Such double glazing is expensive. Further, in order to position the double glazing into the frame of an existing window, the existing single glazing has to be removed. This causes inconvenience to the occupants of the building.
It is an object of the present invention to at least minimize the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide a method of applying an additional glazing over an existing glazing of a window to obtain a double glazed window.
According to the invention the additional or second glazing is sealingly located around its outline, in a profile moulding or frame, preferably formed of aluminium, having a strip-shaped side flange, extending laterally therefrom, of which the free edge forms a stop edge, by means of which the profile moulding with the second glazing enclosed therein may be applied onto an existing glazing via an intermediate sealing member, and in which the second glazing is pressed or drawn towards the existing glazing to form an air-tight or substantially air-tight sealing of the profile moulding onto the existing glazing. As distinct from the known method, the second glazing is brought onto and supported by the originally existing glazing along its edge. Sealing both glazings to each other may be carried out in several ways.According to an embodiment of the invention, the sealing may be obtained by pressing the profile moulding onto the existing glazing by means of a masking frame mounted on the frame of the existing window. Also it is possible to use clamping means, mounted on the frame of the existing window, to press the profile moulding and intermediate sealing member onto the existing glazing of the window.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a partial vacuum is created in the spacing between both glazings, so that the second glazing, with its surrounding profile moulding or frame is drawn or sucked towards the existing glazing of the window.
After applying the second or additional glazing onto the first (or existing) glazing, the temperature of the spacing between both glazings may favourably be raised thereby causing part of the air present in the spacing to escape to the outside so that a reduced pressure is produced in the spacing when the temperature is lowered, such reduced pressure causing the second glazing to adhere to the first glazing. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the section of the profile moulding has the shape ofa-F-,the spacing between both parallel planes of the moulding being intended to receive the second glazing and the free end edge of the third plane being intended to form the stop or supporting edge.
Preferably the free end portions of the profile moulding are provided with thickenings to prevent the moulding from twisting or distorting during its extrusion.
The present invention will be further illustrated, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which the single Figure is a sectional view of a double glazing in accordance with the invention.
As illustrated an existing glazing 1 is mounted in its window frame 2 and fixed therein by means of a lath 3. A second glazing 4 is cemented between both parallel planes of an aluminium profile moulding having an -F- shaped section. The side flange 7 extends perpendicular to the planes 5 and 6 of the moulding. The free end edge of flange 7 forms the stop edge by means of which the moulding with the second glazing enclosed therein, is supported via an intermediate sealing member 8 onto the existing glazing 1. fillet 9 is mounted on the window frame 2 by means of which the profile moulding is pressed againstthe glazing 1.
1. A method of applying a second glazing in spaced relationship over an existing glazing of a window, in which the second glazing is enclosed along its outline into the profile moulding or frame having a strip shaped side flange extending laterally therefrom, of which the free edge forms a stop edge, by means of which the moulding with the second glazing enclosed therein is applied onto an existing glazing via an intermediate sealing member, and in which the second glazing is pressed or drawn towards the existing glazing to form an air-tight or substantially air-tight sealing of the moulding onto the existing glazing.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1, in which the profile moulding is pressed towards the existing glazing by means of a masking frame mounted on the window frame.
3. A method as claimed in claim 1, in which the profile moulding is pressed onto the existing glazing by a row of clamping means mounted on the window frame.
