Abstract: Compound glass brick for a glass wall, characterized in that the compound glass brick is transparent (light-permeable) and comprises an assembly of at least two or more plates which are stacked one on another or next to one another are arranged with their plate surfaces facing one another, and are connected to one another at their plate surfaces by means of a force-transmitting adhesive bonding means, with all of the plates and all of the force-transmitting adhesive bonding means being composed of transparent material and in each case being transparent, and with at least the outer plates or all of the plates being glass plates, the plate surfaces of which are smooth as glass.

Abstract: The invention relates to an insulating glass unit composed of at least two outer panes and of an edge connector which comprises a spacer profile. With the aim of reducing a relative displacement between the two outer panes under loading, it is proposed according to the invention that the spacer profile has two opposed contact faces which are connected in a shear-resistant manner to the outer panes via an adhesive layer, wherein the spacer profile additionally has at least one articulated region which is designed in such a way that the two contact faces can be rotated at least partially in order thereby to reduce stresses in the adhesive layer.
