Benefits of technology
"The present invention relates to an insulating glass unit with a self-supporting structure, which eliminates the need for additional supporting profiles. The spacer profile of the unit has two opposed contact faces that are connected in a shear-resistant manner to the outer panes, and an articulated region that allows for rotation of the contact faces. This design reduces stresses in the adhesive layer and results in a more stable load-bearing behavior of the edge region. The use of a high-strength plastic material for the spacer profile and the adhesive layers helps to achieve a relatively low thermal conductivity and high strength. The invention also provides a solution for reducing tensile stresses caused by climate loads and high-strength adhesives."
Problems solved by technology
Although a few high-strength adhesives are already available for the facade region, adhesive bonding in the edge region is only possible if the profiles used there are tailored to these specific requirements.

Embodiment Construction
[0023]The insulating glass unit 1 according to the invention is composed of at least two outer panes 2, 3 and of an edge connection 4 which comprises a spacer profile 5. The spacer profile 5 is made of a high-strength plastic and has two opposed contact faces 12. The spacer profile additionally comprises at least one depression 14. The two contact faces 12 are connected in a shear-resistant manner to the respective inner sides of the two outer panes 2, 3. For this purpose, it is conceivable to provide an adhesive layer 11 which brings about this shear-resistant connection between the spacer profile 5 and the outer panes 2, 3.
[0024]If the pressure in the gap between the outer panes 2, 3 increases, for example as a result of heating through solar radiation, then—as can be seen in particular from the representation in FIG. 2—the two contact faces 12 of the spacer profile 5, arranged parallel to one another beforehand, rotate with respect to one another. This is possible since, with the...

Abstract
The invention relates to an insulating glass unit composed of at least two outer panes and of an edge connector which comprises a spacer profile. With the aim of reducing a relative displacement between the two outer panes under loading, it is proposed according to the invention that the spacer profile has two opposed contact faces which are connected in a shear-resistant manner to the outer panes via an adhesive layer, wherein the spacer profile additionally has at least one articulated region which is designed in such a way that the two contact faces can be rotated at least partially in order thereby to reduce stresses in the adhesive layer.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an insulating glass unit composed of at least two outer panes and of an edge connection which comprises a spacer profile.[0002]Such an insulating glass unit is generally known in principle from the prior art. It comprises the two outer panes, a first outer pane generally being arranged on the inside of a room, a house, a warehouse or a building in general, and a second outer pane being arranged on the outside of the building. A thermally insulating gap is arranged within the two outer panes. The advantage provided by this gap is particularly that of relatively high thermal and sound protection. The insulating glass unit therefore forms the customary manner of glazing nowadays. The edge connection normally consists of a metal or plastic hollow profile in which there is accommodated a desiccant for the function of drying the air enclosed within the gap of the insulating glass unit. Towards the outside there is also appl...
