AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing window seal profiles require costly and error-prone manual cleaning to remove sealant from attachment points, making them less suitable for automated manufacturing.
Method used
A window seal profile with a second hollow chamber for fastener engagement, allowing attachment of external components without penetrating the glass sheets and preventing sealant entry into the fastener chamber.
Benefits of technology
Enables cost-effective, automated manufacturing of windows by eliminating the need for glass drilling and sealant removal, while maintaining the sealing integrity of the window.

Abstract
The invention relates to a profile for sealing a window, and a window with such a profile. The window comprises at least two substantially parallel glass sheets extending at a transversal distance to each other by interposing the profile between the at least two glass sheets along at least a part of a circumference thereof. The profile comprises as seen in cross section, a first hollow space enclosed by walls for receiving a moisture absorbent, a first wall of the first hollow space on the inner side being perforated in order to be in fluid communication with the space between the glass sheets when the seal is arranged between them. According to the invention, the profile further comprises, as seen in cross section, a second hollow chamber enclosed by walls opposite the first wall which is perforated.
