Abstract: A tubular hollow profile, particularly a spacer tube for the production of spacer frames for insulated glazing, has a profile wall. The profile wall is configured to be double-walled and has an outer wall made of metal, particularly stainless steel or aluminum, and an inner wall made of plastic, which are connected with one another, preferably in firm, i.e. non-displaceable manner. A device and a method for production of the hollow profile are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spacer tube (1) for the production of spacer frames for multi-pane insulated glazing having at least two glass panes, having a tube wall (2) that has a visible wall (6), a bottom wall (7) that lies opposite the former, and two side walls (8) that lie opposite one another, for a connection with a glass pane each, whereby at least one of the two side walls (8) is cold-strengthened, at least in partial regions, to increase the bending stiffness of the spacer tube (1), as well as a multi-pane insulated glazing having a spacer frame having at least one such spacer tube (1), and a device and a method for production of the spacer tube (1).

Abstract: The invention concerns a transom construction for the mounting between two glass panes, in particular window glass panes, in which the transoms that are assembled to form a transom cross consist of hollow profiles and at least two transverse profiles that are flush with each other are attached to a main hollow profile at a predetermined angle to create a transom cross and encompass the main profile in an overlapping manner. The connection of the hollow profiles to the transom construction is executed with the aid of connecting elements with insertion openings that extend in the longitudinal direction and can be solidly inserted into the transverse hollow profile. A four-edged connecting pin is also provided, which penetrates the insertion opening in the main hollow profile and is fitted into the recess in the connecting elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spacer tube of metal, in particular of aluminum, for frame or strut bars of an insulating glazing as spacer or respectively drying agent container between two continuous glass panes, a color stripe being imprinted on the inner wall of the spacer tube visible in the insulating glazing and preferably subsequently gas exchange openings are provided in the inner wall. Further the invention relates to a method for the production of a spacer tube, several color strips being imprinted in side-by-side arrangement on the surface of a metal strip, preferably simultaneously, using a rotary printing mechanism, the paint is dried, and the metal strip is divided longitudinally between the color stripes, and the resulting metal slats are shaped to form spacer tubes and are cut to length.

Abstract: A multilayer insulating glass having at least two panes of glass and a resistance heating element on a glass surface. The panes are separated by a spacer comprising two parallel hollow sections and an insulating web of unfoamed and cured polyurethane casting compound filling the interspace between the hollow sections. The web forms a hard and permanent bond with the hollow sections, creating a spacer having relatively high torsional rigidity and electrical insulation and having relatively low thermal conductivity.

Abstract: A plug connector for making a connection joint between an axially aligned pair of hollow spacer profiles of insulating glass panes defines a longitudinal axis and a center transverse axis transverse thereto and is configured as an essentially box-type cross section with a center web and a pair of side webs extending from the center web. A plurality of essentially triangular openings are located in the center web on both sides of the center transverse axis, each of the openings defining an apex pointing to the nearest end of the plug connector. The plug connector is further configured as a stamped and bent component made from sheet steel with an essentially U-shaped cross section, with the openings in the center web being configured as wall perforations fully circumscribed by the center web, and with the side webs having a plurality of bent-out elastic retainer catches.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hollow sash muntin section (11) of metal, in particular aluminum, for insulation glazing, with a longitudinal welding seam (12a) invisibly disposed in a recess (8) in the section.

Abstract: Filler material for placement in spacer elements of window glass. A length of flexible tubing has sections filled with a pourable absorption filler material, and has other sections empty of absorption material. The sectioned tube can be cut to the desired length without loss of absorption material if the tube is cut in the area of an unfilled tube section. If the separation point lies in the area of a filled tube section, then only a minor loss of the filler material in that tube section takes place. The loss of absorption material thus is avoided or significantly reduced.

Abstract: Connection of two spacer frame hollow profiles which are usable for the production of an insulating glazing and, possibly, are filled with a drying agent. The abutting edges of two hollow profile pieces are set against one another and a one-piece connecting body is seated in a hollow space defining a cavity on both sides of the abutting edges, the connecting body bridging across the abutting edges in a form-locking manner. The connecting body is a hardened fusion adhesive plug which is injected as a liquid through a wall of at least one of the profile pieces into the cavity.

Abstract: A curved corner bent from a hollow-profile construction to form a spacer frame of an insulating glazing, where an opening is provided in the inner wall and in the side walls of the hollow-profile construction in the corner zone, so that a free transverse edge on one side of the opening clamps over a free end portion on an opposite side of the opening when the hollow-profile construction is bent at a right angle to form the curved corner, and a process for the production of the corner, in which the opening is a rectangular cut-out into the inner wall and U-shaped cut-outs cut into the side walls, where the side walls are braced during the bending in such a way that the free transverse edge is guided onto the free end portion to provide flat side surfaces on the curved corner after the bending thereof.

Abstract: An improved desiccant package for use with double-glazed windows. The desiccant material is disposed in discrete islands of desiccant material, between a pair of elongate sheets of flexible material. The sheets are joined together to contain the desiccant within the joined sheets, and to prevent the desiccant from migrating away from the individual islands. Both sheets are impermeable to the desiccant, but at least one of the sheets is substantially permeable to moisture. The desiccant package is disposed within an elongate tubular spacing member for fitting between the two panes of a double-glazed window. The spacer member has a longitudinal side which faces the air space between the two panes of the double glazing, and this longitudinal side is perforated to allow the atmosphere inside the double glazing to communicate with the desiccant package within the spacer tube.
