Abstract
An insulating glass pane includes at least two glass plates, a frame-shaped spacer made of a synthetic-based material and a muntin bar insert attached to the spacer. The spacer and the muntin bar insert are located between the two glass plates. The insulating glass pane contains at least one pair of magnets being two magnets which cooperate to position and hold the muntin bar insert in the insulating glass pane.
Claims6
An insulating glass pane comprising:
- at least two glass plates;
- a frame-shaped spacer made of a synthetic-based material and a muntin bar insert attached to the spacer, the spacer and the muntin bar insert being located between the two glass plates;
- wherein the insulating glass pane comprises at least one pair of magnets containing two magnets which cooperate to position and hold the muntin bar insert in the insulating glass pane;
- wherein the muntin bar insert comprises at least one muntin bar and a linear guide for one magnet of the magnet pair, wherein the other magnet of the magnet pair is inserted into the spacer, and wherein the linear guide is configured for movably guiding said magnet along a longitudinal direction of the at least one muntin bar when being attracted by the other magnet of the magnet pair.

A method for producing an insulating glass pane comprising at least two glass plates held at a distance by a spacer, having the following steps:
- the spacer made of a synthetic-based material is applied in the form of a frame onto a first of the glass plates;
- at least one magnet is inserted into the spacer before or after the spacer is applied to the first glass plate;
- a muntin bar insert containing at least one magnet is placed on the frame-shaped spacer wherein in each case a magnet in the muntin bar insert cooperates with a magnet in the spacer and forms a pair of magnets which holds the muntin bar insert in position;
- after the muntin bar insert has been put in place, the frame-shaped spacer is joined to a second of the glass plates wherein the spacer and the muntin bar insert are located between the first and second glass plates;
- wherein the muntin bar insert contains at least one muntin bar, wherein the magnet in the muntin bar insert is arranged in the at least one muntin bar in a manner being movable along a longitudinal direction of the at least one muntin bar, wherein the magnet in the muntin bar insert is pulled a little way out of the at least one muntin bar when being attracted by the magnet in the spacer.
