  • Publication number: 20220307318
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulated glazing unit (1) adapted to be inserted in a door or window comprising a frame (2); at least two partially or totally transparent panes (4) associated with said frame (2) to define a gap (5); screening means (6) inserted in said gap (5) and adapted to be alternated at least between a retracted configuration in which they allow the passage of light through said gap (5) and a deployed configuration in which they at least partially block the passage of light in said gap (5); actuator means (8) comprising an electric motor (8a) operably associated with said screening means (6) to alternate them at least between the retracted configuration and the deployed configuration; power supply means (13) operably connected to said actuator means (8) and comprising a stationary portion (14) and a moving portion (15) adapted to be electrically connected/disconnected to/from said stationary portion (14), a control unit (9) in signal communication with said electric motor (8a) of sa

  • Patent number: 11236543
    Abstract: An insulating glazing system may include: at least two glass panes and a spacer element, wherein the at least two glass panes and the spacer element define a closed volume; a light ray shielding device within the closed volume, defining: transparent areas allowing passage of incident light rays with a given angle of incidence, whereas light rays having other angles of incidence are unable to pass through the transparent areas; and non-transparent areas configured to block the passage of the incident light rays, the non-transparent areas defining first and second surfaces; and a support means connected to the spacer element and operably associated with the shielding device. The shielding device may include a layer having retroreflective properties. The layer may at least partially cover one or both of the first and second surfaces of at least one of the areas of the non-transparent areas of the shielding device.

  • Publication number: 20210108457
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulated glazing unit (1) comprising a support frame (2); a pair of at least partially transparent panes (3) sealingly fixed to the frame (2) to define a gap (4); a screening element (5) that is adapted to be deployed within said gap (4) to be switched between an open configuration, and at least one closure configuration; a control unit (9) comprising an actuator module (10) associated with the screening element (5) to control deployment of the screening element (5); a pressure sensor (11) configured to send a signal representative of an internal pressure value (Pi) in said gap (4) to the control unit (9).

  • Publication number: 20210087871
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an insulated glazing (2) system (1) comprising at least two glass panes and a spacer element, said at least two glass panes and said spacer element defining a closed volume, a light ray shielding device (3) defining a plurality of transparent areas configured to allow the passage of incident light rays with a given angle of incidence, whereas light rays having other angles of radiation are unable to pass through said plurality of transparent areas and a plurality of non-transparent areas configured to block the passage of light rays, said non-transparent areas defining a first surface and a second surface, opposite to the first surface , said light ray shielding device (3) being situated within said closed volume, support means (32) mechanically connected to said spacer and operably associated with said light ray shielding device (3) to support it.
