The invention provides a glass door apparatus with a right and a left glass door leaf (10, 100) and functional end caps (40a, 40b, 240a, 240b), which respectively have a protrusion (52a, 52b, 252a, 252b), which, with respect to a lateral front face of the functional end cap protrudes laterally outwards in a manner at least substantially parallel to a pane face of a glass pane of one glass door leaf as well as away from said glass pane, and/or a cavity (54a, 54b, 254a, 254b) which, with respect to said lateral front face, protrudes laterally inwards in a manner is at least substantially parallel to said pane face and towards said glass pane and which, in the opposite direction, opens laterally outwardly, and wherein, in the closed state of glass door apparatus, the protrusion and/or the cavity is/are overlapped with a complementary counterpiece of the other glass door leaf.

A guide block for stabilizing an edge of a glass panel relative to a surface is disclosed. The guide block includes a block base having a body of variable size and shape configured for mounting on the surface. The block base defines at least one fastening screw receiving hole on top and on a side thereof. The guide block further includes a mounting member having a pin extending therefrom an inner side of the mounting member. The block base has a front and a rear such that the front is configured to receive the pin in a hole therethrough such that the block base and the mounting member stabilize the edge of the glass panel disposed therebetween and the rear is configured as a receiving channel for stabilizing an edge of a sliding glass door disposed therein.

A vacuum insulated glass unit frame assembly includes a rectangular vacuum insulated glass unit having two glass sheets separated by a sealed gap with a plurality of support structures, and a frame arrangement including a fixation system fixating the vacuum insulated glass unit at the frame arrangement, where the fixation system is arranged so as to allow edges of said vacuum insulated glass unit to thermally deflect in a deflection direction perpendicular to a frame opening plane due to a temperature difference between the two glass sheets, where the fixation system is configured so as to allow the magnitude of the thermal deflection to vary along the edge between the corners where the respective edge terminates.

A corner fitting for a door element, in particular for a glass door element, includes a first fitting element and a second fitting element, which each include, at least sectionwise, a locating portion. The locating portion includes an intermediate layer able to contact the door element. The fitting elements delimit the restraining area, wherein a holding element is in operative connection with a connecting element, which serves for supporting the door element on a center of rotation and/or an axis. At least one variably adjustable distancing element is disposed between the fitting elements outside the locating portions, wherein the distancing element forms a counter-bearing to the locating portions and the door element, which can be restrained in the restraining area.

A display case door assembly for a temperature-controlled storage device includes a vacuum panel, a hinge rail, and a lighting element. The vacuum panel includes a first vacuum pane, a second vacuum pane, and an evacuated gap between the first and second vacuum panes. The evacuated gap provides thermal insulation for the vacuum panel. The hinge rail is coupled to an edge of the vacuum panel and configured to rotate along with the vacuum panel between an open position and a closed position. The lighting element is coupled to at least one of the edge rail and the vacuum panel and configured to emit light toward an interior of the temperature-controlled storage device when the hinge rail and vacuum panel are in at least the closed position.

A window assembly may include a vacuum insulated glass unit and a frame assembly. The vacuum insulated glass unit may include first and second glass substrates defining a space therebetween that is at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure. One of the first and second glass substrates may include a vacuum port extending outward therefrom. The vacuum port may define a passage in communication with the space. The frame assembly supports the glass unit and may include a base member and a glazing member. The base member and the glazing member cooperate to define a slot in which an edge portion of the glass unit is received. The glazing member may include a cavity receiving the vacuum port.

The present disclosure relates to a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit frame assembly (10), wherein said vacuum insulated glass unit frame assembly (1) comprises: a vacuum insulated glass unit (1), and a frame (20) comprising elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d, 70) which frames said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) in a frame opening (21). The frame further comprises: holding parts (6) for fixating said vacuum insulated glass unit (1), andflexible connection arrangements (7) connecting the holding parts (6) to elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d). The flexible connection arrangements (7) are configured to flex when said vacuum insulated glass unit (1) exerts a bending moment (M) on the holding parts (6), so that said holding parts (6) will move relative to the elongated frame profile arrangements (20a-20d, 70) to which the individual holding part (6) is connected. The present disclosure moreover relates to a vacuum insulated glass unit and a frame.

A corner fitting for a door element, in particular for a glass door element, includes first and second fitting elements, which each include, at least sectionwise, a locating portion, which includes an intermediate layer able to contact the door element. The fitting elements delimit the restraining area, wherein a holding element is in operative connection with a connecting element, which serves for supporting the door element on a center of rotation and/or an axis. At least one exchangeable rigid distancing element is disposed between the fitting elements outside the locating portions. The distancing element forms a counter-bearing to the locating portions and the door element which can be restrained in the restraining area.
