Abstract
A glass panel designed to block the transmission of selected radiation, especially heat rays, is produced by coating a face of a first glass pane with a layer of a material (e.g. metal) reflecting or absorbing the rays to be blocked, spacedly juxtaposing a second glass pane with the coated face of the first pane, introducing a preferably transparent synthetic resin such as polymethylmethacrylate or silicone rubber in a flowable state into the intervening space, and letting the resin harden in that space. The resin may be injected through an inlet port in a profiled frame temporarily surrounding the assembly, this frame also having a venting aperture at a level above that of the inlet port.
Claims12
A method of making a glass panel able to block certain radiation, comprising the steps of:
- (a) coating one face of a first glass plate with a layer that is substantially nontransmissive for the radiation to be blocked by vapor deposition of said layer on said one face of said first glass plate;
- (b) spacedly juxtaposing a second glass plate with said one face of said first glass plate;
- (c) Thereafter filling the space separating said glass plates with a liquid polymerizable mass of a synthetic resin which, upon hardening, adheres to said layer;
- and
- (d) allowing said mass to harden in said space.
