Abstract
An insulated glass enclosure for a refrigerated display case includes a glass top panel, a glass front panel, and two glass side panels. The front panel and the side panels each include spaced inner and outer glass panes. The upper edges of the front panel and the side panels are bonded to the top panel; and the front edges of the side panels are bonded to the front panel. A spacer is bonded between the free edges of the inner and outer glass panes of the front panel and the side panels to complete the insulated glass panels.
Claims21
A refrigerated display case comprising:
- a cabinet;
- a glass supported by the cabinet and comprising:
- a glass top panel;
- a front panel having spaced inner and outer glass panes, each of the inner and outer glass panes having an upper edge bonded to the top panel, each of the inner and outer glass panels further having two side edges;
- and
- two side panels each having spaced inner and outer glass panes, each of the inner and outer glass panes having an upper edge bonded to the top panel, each of the inner and outer glass panels further having and a front edge bonded to the front panel.
An insulated glass enclosure for a refrigerated display case comprising:
- an inner enclosure having a top panel, a front panel bonded directly to the top panel, and opposed side panels each bonded directly to the top panel and the front panel;
- and
- an outer enclosure having a top panel, a front panel bonded directly to the top panel, and opposed side panels each bonded directly to the top panel and the front panel;
- the inner enclosure fitted within the outer enclosure defining a gap between the inner and outer enclosures;
- and
- a spacer fitted between and bonded to the inner and the outer enclosures to hermetically seal the gap.
An insulated glass enclosure for a display case comprising:
- a first glass panel;
- and
- a second glass panel having a first edge bonded directly to the first glass panel.
A method of manufacturing an insulated glass enclosure for a refrigerated display case comprising:
- providing an inner enclosure of inner glass panels bonded directly to one another;
- providing an outer enclosure of outer glass panels bonded directly to one another;
- placing the inner enclosure inside the outer enclosure with the inner panels spaced from the outer panels to define a gap between the inner and outer enclosures;
- and
- sealing the inner and outer enclosures by inserting a spacer in the gap between the inner and outer enclosures and bonding the inner and outer enclosures to the spacer.
