A spacer for a multi-pane insulating glazing unit includes a spacer body made from a first material with first and second hollow desiccant chambers extending in a longitudinal direction and a longitudinal groove between the first and second chambers open to a first side of the spacer for holding an intermediate pane of the glazing unit, the groove being delimited in a width direction by first and second side walls and having a bottom wall, and the spacer body having a gas barrier on a second side opposite the first side. The first side wall and/or the second side wall and/or the bottom wall of the groove include at least two electrically conductive portions electrically isolated from each other and configured to make electrical contact with at least one electrical contact of the intermediate pane.

Examples of the present disclosure provide an overhead door panel. The overhead door panel includes a pair of parallel glass panes, a metal frame with parallel lateral stiles oriented perpendicular to the pair of parallel glass panes, a first seal system located at a first lateral stile, and a second seal system located at a second lateral stile, wherein the first seal system and the second seal system engage with at least one glass pane of the pair of parallel glass panes and a lateral stile of the parallel lateral stiles of the metal frame such that the first seal system and the second seal system are between the at least one glass pane and the lateral stile.

A spacer supports first and second panes of an insulating unit wherein the spacer also compressively supports a third inner pane between the first and second panes. The spacer defines a channel that receives the outer perimeter edge of the third pane. The spacer on either side of a channel neck is deformed when the third pane is inserted into the channel. The resiliency of the spacer material causes the spacer material on both sides of the channel neck to compressively engage the third pane of glass. The spacer thus holds the inner spacer without the need for an adhesive disposed in the channel. This configuration closes the channel against the pane preventing the internal surface of the channel from being viewed which provides a desirable appearance to the inner portion of the insulating glass unit.

An insulating window unit for a building including adjacent glazed panels linked to each other by at least one translucent connection element having a structural function, wherein each glazed panel is a multiple glazing unit including plural sheets of glass enclosing at least one closed space between the sheets and including at least one translucent seal along a connection edge of same facing the other adjacent glazed panel.

An insulating glazing includes first and second panes, a spacer, a glazing interior, and an outer interpane space. The first pane is attached to a first pane contact surface and a first side surface of the spacer, the second pane is attached to a second pane contact surface and a second side surface of the spacer, the spacer includes a polymeric main body and a reinforcing profile including an inner face, an outer face, and two side surfaces, the inner face of the reinforcing profile is materially joined at least in some sections to the outer surface of the polymeric body and the width of the reinforcing profile is less than or equal to the width of the polymeric body, and no outer seal is introduced into the outer interpane space, and the outer face of the reinforcing profile is an exposed surface of the insulating glazing facing the surroundings.

An insulating glazing unit, having a first pane, a second pane, and a third pane and a circumferential spacer is described. The spacer includes a polymeric main body described as a first pane contact surface and a second pane contact surface, a first hollow chamber and a second hollow chamber, an outer surface a groove to accommodate a pane where the lateral flanks of the groove are formed by the walls of the first hollow chamber and of the second hollow chamber, the outer surface is divided into a first outer surface, a second outer surface, and a bearing edge, the bearing edge runs substantially perpendicular to the pane contact surfaces and connects the first outer surface and the second outer surface to one another, the first outer surface and the second outer surface enclose in each case an angle α (alpha) of 100°<α<160° with the bearing edge, where wherein the panes are connected via one seal each to the pane contact surfaces, the third pane is inserted into the groove of the spacer (I).

A flexible spacer body has two opposing faces adapted to engage the inner surfaces of glazing structures to define an insulating glazing unit. The spacer body may be desiccated polymeric foam such as a silicone foam rubber or EPDM. An adhesive capable of bonding the spacer body to the glazing structure is carried by both of the faces. The adhesive may be from about 0.050 mm to about 1.524 mm thick. The adhesive material also has the properties of low argon gas and low moisture permeability. The adhesive comprises polymers where butyl rubber and/or polyisobutylene polymers together make up the majority of the polymers. The adhesive may also comprise other materials as needed to make it pressure sensitive and to impart a water resistant bond to glass glazing structures. The space assembly may include additional materials to secure the adhesive to the spacer body.

A spacer for multipane insulating glazing units includes a polymeric main body having two pane contact surfaces running parallel to one another, a glazing interior surface and, an adhesive bonding surface. The pane contact surfaces, and the adhesive bonding surface are connected directly or via connection surfaces. The spacer also includes an insulation film, which is applied on the adhesive bonding surface.

A spacer for insulating glazing units with a polymeric main body composed of a first pane contact surface and a second pane contact surface running parallel thereto, a first glazing interior surface, a second glazing interior surface, an outer surface, a first hollow chamber, and a second hollow chamber, is realized with a groove to accommodate a pane runs parallel to the first pane contact surface and second pane contact surface between the first glazing interior surface and the second glazing interior surface, the first hollow chamber being adjacent the first glazing interior surface and the second hollow chamber being adjacent the second glazing interior surface, where the lateral flanks of the groove are formed by the walls of the first hollow chamber and the second hollow chamber, and a gas-permeable insert is contained in the groove or at least two inserts are mounted at a distance of at least 1 mm from one another.

A spacer for insulating glazing units is presented. The spacer has a polymeric main body with features that include a first pane contact surface, a second pane contact surface, a first glazing interior surface, a second glazing interior surface, an outer surface, a first hollow chamber, and a second hollow chamber.
