Description

1 TARIFF DECORATIVE TILE PROFILES WITHIN INSULATED GLASS SYSTEMS MECHANICAL, COMPATIBLE WITH VARYING GAP DIMENSIONS. INTERLOCKING, COLOR TOLERANT AND VIBRATION DAMPENING. IMPROVEMENT MADE TO THE CENTERING ELEMENT 5 This invention describes the use of decorative tiling within double-glazed (insulating glass) systems. the profiles wobbling, rattling and making noises by touching the glass surfaces, and coated (comfort glass, synergy glass, etc.) glass surfaces are protected from damage. Innovative insulated glass systems include a range of decorative tile profiles (10 options). mechanically interlocking, color-tolerant, and vibration-damping, compatible with gap dimensions. It is related to the improvements made to the centering element. In current technology, decorative tiling is used in double-glazed (insulating glass) systems. The slats are placed in the space between the two panes of glass. The thickness of the slats is 15 cm between the two panes of glass. because the gap between them is smaller (for example, 8 mm thick in a 16 mm gap) (when the slats are installed) wind, opening and closing of doors / windows, or building vibrations As a result, the slats hit the glass surface, causing an annoying noise. The technical solutions currently available on the market are often referred to as "teardrop" or "drop silicone". These transparent silicone pieces, called adhesive on one side, are applied to the grid profiles in 20°C increments. They are glued together. However, these existing solutions lead to the following technical and aesthetic problems: This leads to... Falling off and high repair costs, adhesive silicone parts, inside insulated glass. Due to temperature changes, humidity, and aging over time, its adhesive properties decrease by 25. It loses its grip and falls into the gap between the two panes of glass. The piece falls inside the glass. Because it is stuck or has slipped down, it cannot be repaired later, the problem To fix this, the glass needs to be completely removed and remanufactured, which is very... This leads to high costs and hardship. Disruption of visual integrity and aesthetic defect, adhesive transparent silicone pieces; wood 2 veneered (golden oak, mahogany, etc.), anthracite grey or custom colored grid profiles When applied, it stands out noticeably as a transparent stain, the product. It creates an irrelevant and unpleasant image. Risk of damage to comfort glass and synergy glass surfaces, falling off of adhesive parts 5 or the grid profiles come into direct contact with the glass surface as a result of slipping or Friction from hard objects, especially on the inner surface of comfort glass and synergy glass. This damages the delicate coating layers and causes scratches. Due to the risk involved, grid pattern application is used in window frames that utilize comfort glass and synergy glass. avoiding doing so. 10 The inadequacy of concealed connection tile systems is the presence of a visible plastic connection from the outside. In concealed connection grid modules that do not contain any elements, the profiles are completely empty. It remains there and makes a louder noise by hitting the glass surface. Outside Because there is no connecting piece, there is no mechanism to hold the profile in place. 15 Insufficient standard dimensions result in different insulating glass bead widths and spacing (12 mm, Silicone pads of a constant thickness (14 mm, 16 mm, etc.) provide an ideal fit for any gap. It is unable to apply pressure, is insufficient, or is applying excessive pressure. The invention eliminates all the technical, aesthetic, and logistical problems listed above. Providing a flawless solution in both standard and concealed connection tile systems. It was developed for this purpose. This invention, in particular, is a concealed connection 25 where no external connecting elements are visible. Ensuring the centering of free-standing profiles in grid systems, grid By means of flexible snap tabs, it passes through the profile transition hole opened on the profile. Mechanically locked without the need for any adhesive, different types of insulated glass. Available in variable height sizes to suit the gaps (e.g., 12.5 for a 12 mm gap). For every gap, such as 14.5 mm for a 14 mm gap, 16.5 mm for a 16 mm gap, etc., each gap is 30 mm. (Manufactured to specific dimensions, providing approximately 0.5 mm of stretch / compression allowance), dome / 3 The mushroom-shaped cap structure is manufactured to perfectly match the profile color, and both sides of the strip... When applied to the side, it stands out by centering the grid profile exactly in the middle of the two panes of glass. It is emerging. This invention prevents falling off or adhesive loosening over time thanks to its mechanical claw locking mechanism. or there is no risk of it coming loose. High-risk tasks like removing or replacing the glass are not involved. It eliminates costly service problems. Thanks to its 0.5 mm stretch allowance, it is available in 12 mm and 14 mm sizes. Perfect centering and excellent sound in all insulating glass gaps of 16 mm etc. (9) It provides damping. In concealed connection grid systems where specialized profiles are left unused. It provides complete fixation. Because it is manufactured to match the profile color exactly, it is called "teardrop / drop silicone". 10 It eliminates the unsightly stain appearance on the parts. Delicate comfort glass and synergy. Protecting glass surfaces from scratches, allowing for safe tiling on these types of glass. It enables its use. This invention can be further illustrated only by way of illustration, as shown in the attached drawings. This is explained in detail in these drawings; Figure 1.

Improvements made to the centering element result in a grid profile (8) in terms of general structure. insulated glass frame (gap) (9), grid centering and fixing element (10), dome (mushroom cap structure) (11), flexible snap tabs (12), profile through hole (13), is occurring. In the invention, mechanical interlocking and locking is achieved by drilling into the desired points of the grid profile (8,). or by means of a drilling die, the profile through hole (13) is opened. Profile through hole (13) is drilled by entering from the front surface of the profile and exiting from the back surface. The grid centering and fixing element (10), with flexible snap tabs underneath (12), The profile passage hole (13) flexes inwards and enters the hole when pushed, and the inside of the hole 20 After passing through the perimeter, it opens due to its own elasticity, providing a claw-like locking mechanism. This allows the part to be profiled without the use of any adhesives, tapes, or external chemicals. It is mechanically secured, completely eliminating the risk of falling. In the invention, precise centering and stepped compression allowance (~0.5 mm), grid profile (8), 25 one grid centering and fixing piece in each of the holes on the bottom and top surfaces element (10) is installed. The grid centering and fixing elements (10), its dimensions, according to the insulated glass frame (gap) (9) in which it will be used For example, if the gap between two panes of glass (9) is 16 mm, profile and two grid centering and fixing elements (10) attached to it, total 30 It is manufactured with an outer dimension of approximately 16.5 mm. Similarly, the gap is 14 mm. If the gap is 12 mm, the total measurement is 14.5 mm; if the gap is 12 mm, the total measurement is 12.5 mm. It is adjusted. When the insulated glass panels are joined and compressed, the 0.5 mm remaining outside... excess, dome (mushroom cap structure) (11), stretching by undergoing elastic deformation This stretching pressure traps the grid profile (8) exactly in the middle of both panes of glass and It completely prevents shaking and rattling. 5 The invention features concealed connection tile compatibility, where the connecting elements are not visible. In grid applications made with a connection module, the profiles are left completely free. For this, the developed grid centering and fixing element (10) perfectly centers the profile. It completely prevents rattling and banging on the glass. 10 The invention combines comfort glass and synergy glass safety with flexible plastics made from soft-textured plastic. dome (mushroom cap structure) (11) applies a slight elastic pressure to the glass surface and Because it holds the profile suspended in the air, the delicate inner surface of comfort glass and synergy glass is protected. It does not damage coatings, scratch or wear them down. 15 The invention involves the production of a grid centering and fixing element with exact color and size matching.
