Problems solved by technology

While this configuration solves some of Greenlee's problems related to line of sight, the "open cell" configuration does not provide adequate support for the sealant when in contact with the glass pane
This shim / stiffener construction is not suitable for long-term sealed window assemblies as the spacer / element bond (i.e., adhesive layer) tends to lose tack and become leaky

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Referring to the accompanying drawings below, it can be seen that, figure 1 Illustrated is a composite structure such as, but not limited to, a window assembly 10 comprising a first base member 12 and a second base member 14 having facing, substantially parallel surfaces. The first and second base elements 12 and 14 are typically glazings of multilayer surface-ground construction. The base elements 12 and 14 are bonded together to form an enclosed space 16, the enclosed gap 16 is sealed by a composite tape structure (i.e., a sealant spacer strip) that includes a sealant 18 that is at least Spacer assembly 20 is partially enclosed. Elements 12 and 14 are made of glass. It should be understood, however, that the present invention has environmental applicability that is not limited by the type of building or structural material including, for example, cement, concrete, brick, stone, metal, plastic, and wood.

Abstract

A spacer and sealant strip comprising a sealant support member having a longitudinal axis and a planer surface bounded by first and second edges, a stiffener cooperating with said sealant support member, a shim in contact with said stiffener and said sealant support member, and a sealant.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a composite spacer and sealant particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of thermally insulating laminates such as windows. Background of the invention [0002] Typically, the process of assembling an insulated window assembly involves the following steps: placing one surface-finished structural sheet on top of another surface-ground structural sheet in a fixed, spaced-apart manner, and then polishing both surfaces A sealant composition is injected into the gap between the two structural members at and along the perimeter of the two structural members to form a sandwich structure with sealed air pockets between the structural members. In practice, the finished structural member is usually a glass plate, but may also be plastic and other such suitable materials. In order for the finished structural members to be properly spaced, spacer bars are typically inserted between the two structural members to maintain ...
