A spacer construction for insulating glass for windows comprised of thin sheets of metal, such as stainless steel, formed with a first bottom side panel wherein the first bottom side panel joins first and second spaced, typically diverging, lateral side walls or panels. A second inside wall of the spacer assembly is spaced from the bottom side of the first section or channel and joins, typically by welding, to the lateral side walls of the first section thereby forming a tube or chamber into which desiccant may be placed. A cushion material layer is positioned over and on the bottom side panel and is covered by a polymeric sheet affixed or bonded to the lateral sides to form an internal chamber filled with desiccant. The desiccant is positioned to impact against the film or sheet bonded to the bottom side panel and at least a portion of the lateral side walls of the channel enabling the assembly to effectively accommodate bending forces and stress upon bending of the spacer.

A spacer is provided for an insulating glazing unit that includes at least two spaced-apart glazing panes connected along their edges via the spacer in a mounted state in which the spacer is mounted at the edges to limit an interspace, which is defined between the glazing planes and is filled with gas. The spacer has an inner wall (14) connecting side walls (11, 12) on an inner side that faces the interspace. The inner wall (14) includes a recess portion (14rs, 14rt, 14rc) that enables the length of the inner wall to change in the width direction in response to an external pressure force or an external tensional force applied to the side walls (11, 12).

A spacer for multipane insulated glazings, includes a polymeric main body, including two pane contact surfaces running parallel to one another, a glazing interior surface, and a base surface, wherein the pane contact surfaces and the base surface are connected to one another directly or via connecting surfaces and an insulating film, which has at least one metallic or ceramic layer and is applied on the polymeric main body, wherein the insulating film covers the base surface and the two pane contact surfaces completely and the glazing interior surface at least partially.

The invention relates generally to the field of construction, and in particular to the use of a glass unit instead of the opening sashes of windows and doors, without using sash profiles into which conventional insulating glass units or insulating glass units with one protruding outer pane are usually fixed. The adaptive insulating glass unit is intended for use on windows and doors pre-installed in an opening or facade, as well as for use in the production of new windows and doors, which in turn are used for glazing door and window openings (fixed glazing or one with a sash opening inward, sideways, outward or upward off the frame) in residential buildings, in public and industrial buildings, display structures. The technical result of the invention is a quicker and more accurate assembly of multi-chambered insulating glass units with glued-in profiles, increased light transmission, thermal insulation and soundproofing properties of existing window and door systems without the need to reconfigure production processes, without the need to readjust and replace equipment used in the production of windows, as well as increased light transmission, thermal insulation and soundproofing properties of window and door systems pre-installed in the openings and facades of buildings without the need to reinstall them. The adaptive insulating glass unit designed to be used instead of the opening sashes of windows and doors, without the use of sash profiles into which conventional insulating glass units or insulating glass units with one protruding outer pane are usually fixed, offers new prospects for the design of new window and door systems. The adaptive insulating glass unit contains two outer panes and at least one inner pane, spaced from each other by spacer frames placed between the panes. Moreover, the outer panes are always larger than the inner ones, and between them there is a profile inserted all the way to all the inner panes and simultaneously to one of the outer panes and glued to said outer pane by means of hard glue with additional fixation of the glued profile to another outer pane through the aid of a spacer element, with the gap formed between the profile and the outer pane to which the profile is not glued by means of hard glue filled with elastic glue and sealant, with the outer part of the profile adapted to fixing fittings and seals, which adapt the adaptive insulating glass unit to specific window systems.

The disclosure relates to a door for a freezer or refrigerator cabinet, including an insulating glass unit with at least two panes, which are joined by means of spacers for the creation of a gas-filled intervening space. The panes each have a transparent region and all spacers are designed to be free of desiccant, and a desiccant reservoir, which is in fluidic connection with the intervening space between the at least two panes.

Certain example embodiments relate to electric, potentially-driven shades usable with insulating glass (IG) units, IG units including such shades, and/or associated methods. In such a unit, a dynamic shade is located between the substrates defining the IG unit, and is movable between retracted and extended positions. The dynamic shade includes on-glass layers including a transparent conductor and an insulator or dielectric film, as well as a shutter. The shutter includes a resilient polymer-based layer and layers on opposing surfaces thereof. A first voltage is applied to the transparent conductors to cause the shutter to extend to a closed position.

A device for filling spacer frames with hollow-section strips has a storage tank for free-flowing, hygroscopic fill material, such as a molecular sieve. A line that leads to the spacer frame to be filled extends from the storage tank and empties into a fill opening in the wall of the spacer frame. The amount of the fill material poured into the spacer frame is determined by the amount of the fill material removed from the storage tank being detected. The amount of the fill material removed from the storage tank is detected by measuring the travel of a piston that rests with pressure on the fill material in the storage tank. The degree of filling is verified by the amount of the fill material removed from the storage tank being compared to the preset amount of the fill material that is to be poured into the spacer frame.

A spacer for insulated glass units includes a main body co-extruded from first and second plastics, the second plastic having lower thermal conductivity and higher flexibility than the first plastic. The main body includes first and second side walls arranged parallel to each other, a glazing interior wall connecting to the side walls, an outer wall, which is arranged substantially parallel to the glazing interior wall and connects the side walls to one another directly or via connecting walls, and a cavity, which is enclosed by the side walls, the glazing interior wall, and the outer wall or by the side walls, the glazing interior wall, the outer wall, and the connecting walls. The main body is designed as a hollow profile formed from the second plastic, in which hollow profile the first plastic is arranged, at least in some regions, on the inside directly adjacent the hollow profile.

A security unit protects a glazing unit supported by a window frame The window frame defines a void that is in communication with an air space through external air vents. The window frame has a side panel that defines side panel holes. The security unit includes a security panel that is spaced apart from the glazing unit to define an air cavity and is secured to a vertical tubular bar that is secured to a side panel of the window frame. The vertical tubular bar defines a passage therethrough in communication with the air cavity through air cavity vents and defines passage holes aligned the side panel holes. Air circulates from the air cavity to the air space through the air cavity vents, the passage holes, the side panel holes and external air vents.
