Abstract
There are disclosed spacer elements for use in insulated glass assemblies of the single and multiple atmosphere type which incorporate non-thermally conductive materials as the main structural support member in the assembly. The result is a lightweight, warm edge assembly.
Claims13
An insulated glass assembly comprising:
- a pair of glass lites;
- an elastically deformable tubular body having a first substrate engaging member associated therewith;
- a second substrate engaging member spaced from said first substrate engaging member, said second substrate engaging member being operatively associated with said body;
- and
- an angularly disposed support member extending between said first substrate engaging member and said second substrate engaging member whereby when a glass lite is engaged with a respective substrate engaging member, said body facilitates limited resilient compression of said assembly.
