A Vacuum Insulating Glazing Unit (VIGU) comprises two or more glass lites (panes) spaced apart from one another and hermetically bonded to an edge seal assembly therebetween. The resulting cavity between the lites is evacuated to create at least one insulating vacuum cavity within which are disposed a plurality of stand-off members to maintain separation between the lites. The edge seal assembly is preferably compliant in the longitudinal (i.e., edgewise) direction to allow longitudinal relative motion between the two lites (e.g., from thermal expansion). The longitudinal compliance may be obtained by imprinting a three-dimensional pattern into the edge seal material. The edge seal assembly is preferably bonded to the lites with a first bond portion that is hermetic and a second bond portion that is load-resistant. Methods for producing VIGUs and/or compliant edge seal assemblies and VIGU and edge seal apparatus are disclosed.

STAND-OFF CONSTRUCTION FOR VACUUM INSULATED GLASS

Номер: US20130316099A1
Принадлежит: EVERSEALED WINDOWS, INC.

A stand-off is necessary to separate two glass lites (panes of glass) in a vacuum insulated glazing system. This stand-off must provide sufficient mechanical support to keep the lites apart despite one atmosphere pressure pushing the lites together. For systems that are designed with flexible edge seals, there will be movement of one lite relative to the other during diurnal cycling, and the stand-offs will therefore be scraped against at least one of the lite surfaces. Because many mechanically robust materials suitable for stand-offs have high friction, it is beneficial to apply a lubricant to the surface of the stand-off. However, it is also beneficial to adhere the stand-off to one lite during the manufacturing operation, and this need opposes the need for good lubricity. This invention describes means for optimizing the composition of a stand-off to meet these conflicting needs. 1. A vacuum insulated glass unit comprising:a first glass sheet having an inner surface and an outer surface;a second glass sheet having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface of the second glass sheet being disposed substantially parallel to, but spaced apart from, the inner surface of the first glass sheet so as to define a cavity therebetween; anda plurality of stand-offs disposed in the cavity, the plurality of stand-offs being formed from material having a bulk compressive yield strength, each stand-off having a first contact surface in contact with the inner surface of the first glass sheet and a second contact surface in contact with the inner surface of the second glass sheet;wherein at least one of the first and second contact surfaces of each stand-off includes a low-friction coating layer.2.

VACUUM INSULATING GLAZING, A SEALING, AND A METHOD OF PRODUCING VACUUM INSULATING GLAZING

Номер: US20150030789A1
Принадлежит: Asahi Glass Company, Limited

A vacuum insulating glazing includes first and second glass substrates that are stacked with a gap set at a pressure less than an atmospheric pressure, and the gap is sealed peripherally by a sealing. The sealing includes a metal component and a glass layer that bonds the metal component and the glass substrates. A material for the metal component is selected from materials whose tensile strength X (N/mm) and breaking elongation Y (%) satisfy a relationship Y≧0.10X by a room temperature tensile test (tensile speed: 1 mm/min) that is performed after the materials are kept at 490° C. for 40 minutes in an atmosphere.

Pillar delivery films for vacuum insulated glass units are disclosed. The delivery films include a support film or pocket tape, a sacrificial material on the support film, and a plurality of pillars. The pillars are at least partially embedded in the sacrificial material or formed within sacrificial material molds, and the sacrificial material is capable of being removed while leaving the pillars substantially intact. Methods of transferring pillars to a substrate using the pillar delivery films are disclosed. In order to make an insulated glass unit, the delivery films are laminated to a receptor such as a glass pane, and the support film and sacrificial material are removed to leave the pillars remaining on the glass. 1. A method for transferring pillars from a delivery film to a receptor surface , comprising:providing a delivery film having a support film, a sacrificial material layer on the support film, and a plurality of pillars, wherein each pillar is at least partially embedded within the sacrificial material layer;laminating the delivery film to a receptor surface with the pillars facing the receptor surface;removing the support film while leaving the pillars on the receptor surface and at least a portion of the sacrificial material on the pillars; andremoving the sacrificial material while leaving the pillars remaining and substantially intact on the receptor surface.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing step includes:forming the pillars on the support film from an uncured pillar material; andcuring the pillar material.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing step includes forming the pillars within a mold composed of the sacrificial material.4.

GLAZING SYSTEM

Номер: US20140115982A1
Принадлежит:

The current invention relates to a unique and compact self-lock glazing mechanism for heavy glazing needs, composed of two aluminum extrusion profiles—a male profile and a female profile—designed in such a way to self-lock glass panels using rubber beading; the said glazing system functions when glass panel is placed on the setting blocks over the upper leg of the said female profile with a pair of spacers between the vertical tip of the said female profile and the said glass panel, and then the horizontal leg of the said male profile is inserted with its locking tip facing upward into the gap between the lower and upper legs of the said female profile; the locking tips of both the male and female profiles are then engaged by tilting the said male profile on its built-in fulcrum by pulling the vertical leg outward and introducing a pair of wedges into the space so created between the said glass panel and the said vertical tip of the male profile to keep the lock engaged and the said profiles get arrested; eventually the said glass panel is locked in the said glazing system; and the said mechanism further tightens its grip on the edges of the locked glass panel when the spacers and wedges are replaced by grooved rubber beadings of appropriate resilience which enables the said glass panel to remain in equilibrium throughout the life of the rubber beading; the introduction of the rubber beadings into the system lends a unique dynamism to the mechanism due to the built in fulcrum built in the said male profile, the inherent resilience of rubber causes a mating action in the said locking chamber and the resulting equal and opposite reaction keep the glass panel in an equilibrium; this balancing act of forces remains in the locking system throughout the life of the rubber beading as a dynamic phenomenon. 1. A self-lock glazing system , composed of two aluminum profiles designed in such a way comprising: a male profile and a female profile to self-lock glass panels using ...
