Abstract
A decorative pane is disclosed comprising of a double glazed or triple glazed unit encapsulating a decorative plastic substrate 12 that is secured and supported through contact with the inner faces of the front and back pane of the glass 15. Preferably an injection moulded decorative element 16 is added to the substrate therefore providing a 4 ply window composition. Protrusions may be provided, each 5-10mm high on the front and back of the substrate to contact with the glass. The substrate is preferably flexible PETG. Silicone sealant is provided around outside of the window cavity to seal it shut. This decorative pane has manufacturing benefits and still presents a more aesthetic window.
Description
DESCRIPTION
DECORATIVE PANE
Field Of Invention
This invention relates to a decorative pane
Background to invention
Currently decorative glass panels have a number of characteristics relating to their core composition. Most typically decorative elements are applied (usually bonded) to one pane of the two panes that form a traditional double glazed unit.
It is also known for decorative panels to have a three ply composition where the decorative panel is positioned in the centre between two outer sheets of glass each being equally spaced from one another. In the case of a three ply or triple glazed' insulated unit current techniques mean that the perimeter of the central decorative panel will end flush with the outer edge of the spacer sections provided and be of the same size as the front and rear glass panes. The spacer is adhered to the front mid back panes of glass but is stepped in from the perimeter to provide a cavity for sealing.
Once the decorative panel is assembled a silicone sealant is applied to the cavity that is provided by the assembly of the two outer glass panes with the stepped spacer and bonds these elements together. Therefore secure positioning of the central decorative pane is reliant solely on the spacers provided. Indeed in many cases a rebate is formed into a single thickness of spacer that is designed to accept the thickness of a third central decorative pane of glass avoiding the need for two separate ply's of spacer.
The current invention allows for a decorative substrate to be losely positioned inside of the spacer of an insulated glass unit without the need for bonding or being mechanically fixed in any way.
The inventor furthemore has discovered a significant second element to the invention. It is known to injection mold clear resins onto glass but there are many limtiations with such technique in terms of cost and manufacture. The inventor realises significant unique benefits in injection molding decorative elements that are totally independent to the glass.
These decorative elements can then be fixed to the plastic substrate previously described and encapsualed into a double glazed unit. The technique results in a 4 ply composition of 2 outer panes of toughened glass, a plastic substrate coupled with an injection molded decorative element. Each element is individual and does not require bonding to the other. 2
Summary of Invention
The present invention recognises the significant benefits of inserting a decorative panel inside of the spacer itself.
-
The make up of the insulated decorative unit will therefore be as follows. Firstly a spacer is adhered to the inner face of one of the two outer panes and is stepped in on average between 4-7 mm from the perimeter of the glass. The decorative central panel is then positioned above the spacer and can simply be dropped into the cavity provided with no need for adhesion or locating of the perimetre into the spacer of the insulated glass unit.
The significance of the central panel is that it is of plastic composition (preferably a very flexible PETG) and by using a suitable depth of spacer can be held securely between two panes of toughened glass either in the form of a double glazed or triple glazed insulated unit. The final step is to fill the cavity around the perimeter of the unit with a silicone sealant.
As a second part of the invention injection molded decorative sections can be secured to the plastic substrate by a variety of fastening techniques.
In addition, within the forming process of the decorative plastic panel raised protrusions of 5-10mm are engineered to both the front and back of the decorative substrate. These raised elements will come into contact with the inner front and inner back glass panes once the insulated unit is assembled. This design method provides support for the decorative substrate and allows for the use of less expensive and thinner materials that would not be self supporting.
Detailed Description
Figure 1 shows the composition of the decorative unit. Referring to figure 1, a section through a decorative, double glazed pane 10 is shown composed of two outer panes of glass 11, 11' encapsulating an internal decorative substrate 12. The air cavity is denoted by 13. The substrate is secured between and in contact with the 2 inner panes of glass 15.
The substrate finishes just before the edge of the spacers provided 14.
Figure 2 illustrates the technique when an injection molded decorative element is added as indicated by 16. Protection is sought for this unique 4 ply composition.
