  • Patent number: 9661940
    Abstract: The invention relates to a glass element (200) including at least one insulating glass panel including at least one first (10) and one second (11) glass sheet combined with one another via a spacer (12) which keeps same spaced apart from one another, said spacer extending along the side, upper and lower edges of said two glass sheets and between said at least two glass sheets, at least one inner space (15) including a layer of an insulating gas and closed by a first (13) and a second (14) peripheral seal arranged around said inner space, and at least one frame (201) which supports said at least one insulating glass panel, said frame including (i) a stationary bracket (21) and (ii) a movable bracket (22) which is hinged on the stationary bracket and which allows the opening and/or the closing of the glass element.

  • Publication number: 20140240858
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mirror including a glass substrate covered with a silver layer, which is in turn covered with at least one paint layer, wherein the intensity ratio of the crystallographic orientations (111)/(200) within the silver layer is less than 5.0. Said mirror is characterized in that the silver layer has a correlation length (CLz) (111), as measured by X-ray diffraction using the Scherrer method (i.e., using the Scherrer equation) of greater than 27.0 nm.
