Abstract

A multi-glazed window unit comprises a leaded-light panel 1 protected on one or both faces thereof by a sheet of clear glass 3 and spaced therefrom by peripheral spacer 2, and sealed by adhesive compound 4. The adhesive sealing compound 4 may be coated by a protective layer of metal foil 5. Such a window unit is manufactured by removing an existing leaded light from its original mounting frame. <IMAGE>

Description

A GLAZED WINDOW UNIT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREFOR The invention relates to a glazed window ~nit and to a method of manufacture of such a unit.
The invention is particularly concerned with the manufacture of a sealed multiple-glazed unit containing an existing leadedlight panel, which may include stained glass.
Leaded-light panels are usually mounted in a surrounding metal frame and so to convert an existing window cóntaining a leadedlight panel it is necessary to mount a sheet of clear glass in a separate frame abutting the existing frame of the window. Also, especially in the case of stained glass, it is desirable to protect the leaded-light panel from becolng dirty or damaged by mounting a sheet of clear glass spaced from each side of the leaded-light panel. This would need an additional separate frame abutting the existing frame of the window both inside and outside. An object of the invention is to incorporate a leadedlight panel which has been removed whole from the original frame into a sealed multi-glazed unit for mounting into a new frame to replace the original frame.
According to the invention, a multi-glaze window unit comprises a leaded-light panel which has been removed whole from an existing frame; a peripheral spacer frame adjacent at least one face of the leaded-light panel mounted to abut a marginal portion of the face of the leaded-light panel around the whole periphery thereof;; a sheet of clear glass, or other glazing material hereinafter called "glass", abutting the or each of the spacer frames at a marginal portion of its face nearer to the leaded-light panel around the whole periphery of the clear glass sheet, whereby the or each clear glass sheet is spaced uniformly from the adjacent face of the leaded-light panel and an adhesive sealing means between the or each spacer frame, the leaded-light panel and the or each clear glass sheet, thereby to secure the or each clear glass sheet to the leaded-light panel to form the sealed unit.
Preferably, the multi-glazed window unit comprises the leadedlight panel; a pair of peripheral spacer frames each abutting a marginal portion of a respective face of the leaded-light panel and a pair of clear glass sheets, mounted one on each of the peripheral spacer frames, thereby forming a triple-glazed sealed unit comprising the leaded-light panel and spaced from each face thereof by a respective peripheral spacer frame an outer clear glass sheet.
The unit according to either of the two immediately preceding paragraphs may have a protective layer secured to the edges of the unit around its whole periphery and also to marginal portions of the outer face of the unit. The protective layer may be a metal foil sheet.
The invention also includes a method of manufacture of a unit according to any of the three immediately preceding paragraphs consisting in the step of removing the leaded-light panel whole from its existing frame; cleaning the faces of the leadedlight panel; mounting a peripheral spacer frame on one or each face of the leaded-light panel; mounting a clear glass sheet on the or each peripheral spacer frame and securing the components of the unit together by applying the adhesive sealing means as aforesaid. The aforesaid protective layer may then be secured to the unit. The adhesive sealing means is conveniently an adhesive mastic sealing compound.
By way of example, a method of manufacturing a sealed tripleglazed unit in accordance with the invention is now described.
The existing leaded-light panel is removed from its original frame by carefully chipping away the putty frame one side and by applying an acid or other solvent to the putty on the opposite side. The leaded-light panel is carefully removed whole by applying the solvent to remove stubborn pieces of putty. The leaded-light panel is then cleaned and the existing frame is removed and may be destroyed, as it is no longer needed.
The leaded-light panel is then sandwiched between two sheets of clear glass, or other clear glazing material, which are spaced uniformly from each face of the leaded-light panel by a pair of peripheral spacer frames, preferably made of aluminium spacer bars. These have recessed faces adjacent marginal portions of the respective faces of the leaded-light panel and the clear glass sheets into which a mastic sealing compound is introduced.
This compound is strongly adhesive and so adheres to both the leaded-light panel and the clear glass sheets, thereby forming a triple-glazed sealed unit. The whole unit is then covered around its peripheral edges and around marginal portions of the outer faces of the clear glass sheets by a metal foil layer, for example, aluminium foil. The unit is then mounted in a new frame, for example of wood, which is fitted into the window opening in the building.
A typical cross-section of an edge portion of the unit is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which the leaded-light panel is 1; the peripheral frames are 2; the clear glass sheets are 3; the mastic adhesive and sealing compound is 4 and the protective edge layer is 5.
Although the leaded-light panel, particularly where it is of stained glass, is, in the foregoing example, protected on both faces by a clear glass sheet to form a triple glazed sealed unit, the leaded-light panel may be projected on only one face with a clear glass sheet to form a double-glazed sealed unit. In the latter case only one peripheral spacer frame would be employed.

Claims (9)

1. A multi-glazed window unit comprising a leaded light panel; a sheet of clear glass or other glazing material, herein called "glass", spaced from one or each face of the leaded-light panel; a peripheral spacer frame or frames mounted to abut the leaded-light panel around the whole periphery thereof and to abut the or each clear glass sheet at a marginal portion of its face nearer to the leaded-light panel around the whole periphery of the or the respective clear glass sheet, whereby the or each clear glass sheet is spaced uniformly from the adjacent face of the leaded-light panel, and an adhesive sealing means embracing the periphery of the or each spacer frame and a marginal portion of the clear glass sheet and the leaded-light panel, where there is only one clear glass sheet, or of each clear glass sheet, where the leaded-light panel is positioned between two clear glass sheets, thereby to form a sealed glazing unit.
2. A multi-glazed window unit as claimed in Claim 1 in which the leaded-light panel is removed whole from an existing frame before being assembled in the sealed glazing unit.
3. A multi-glazed window unit as claimed in Claim 1 or 2 comprising the leaded-light panel; a pair of peripheral spacer frames each abutting a marginal portion of a respective face of the leaded-light panel and a pair of clear glass sheets, mounted one on each of the peripheral spacer frames, thereby forming a triple-glazed sealed unit comprising the leaded-light panel and spaced from each face thereof by a respective peripheral spacer frame an outer clear glass sheet.
4. A multi-glazed window unit as claimed in any preceding claim including a protective layer secured to the peripheral surface and to marginal portions of the end faces of the unit.
5. A multi-glazed window unit as claimed in Claim 4 in which the protective layer is a sheet of metal foil.
6. A multi-glazed window unit constructed and arranged substantially as described herein and shown in the accompanying drawing.
7. A method of manufacturing a multi-glazed window unit according to Claim 2 and any of Claims 3-6 when dependent on Claim 2 consisting in the steps of removing the leaded-light panel whole from its existing frame; cleaning the faces of the leaded light panel; mounting a peripheral spacer frame on one or each face of the leaded-light panel; mounting a clear glass sheet on the or each peripheral spacer frame and securing the components of the unit together by applying the adhesive sealing means as aforesaid.
8. The method according to Claim 7 in which a protective layer is secured to the peripheral surface and to the marginal portions of the end faces of the unit.
9. The method according to Claim 7 or 8 in which the adhesive sealing means is an adhesive mastic sealing compound.
