  • Patent number: 8202599
    Abstract: To provide a cost-effective, stable vacuum insulation panel (10) having at least one lead-through (20) in a main surface (16) of an insulating material supporting body (14) and having a vacuum-tight film envelope (17), it is proposed that the lead-through (20) is formed as a bush (30) with an outer side (32) facing the insulating material supporting body (14) and that on the first bush end (36) is provided a first, preformed collar (37) extending radially away from the bush (30) into the main surface (16) and, opposite said collar, is provided a second collar (39) formed by thermal deformation of the second bush end (38), wherein the vacuum-tight film envelope (17) is welded to the collars (37, 39). A corresponding method for producing the panel is also described.

  • Patent number: 7125596
    Abstract: A vacuum insulation panel, comprising a thermally insulating plate with an planar topside and underside and a narrow side in an enclosure comprising a metal-containing film (foil), with a subatmospheric pressure prevailing in the enclosure and the enclosure surrounding the thermally insulating plate in a vacuum-tight manner. The enclosure has, on the narrow side, a weld seam with a projecting section of the foil. The narrow sides of the plate are beveled and the vacuum insulation panel is in the form of a parallelepiped. The weld seam with the projecting section of foil is arranged in such a manner that it allows the vacuum insulation panels to be assembled without gaps to form an insulating enclosure.
