Patent number: 9677321Abstract: In one embodiment, a window spacer has an outer elongate strip with a first surface and a second surface. The window spacer also has first and second inner elongate strips that each has a first surface and a second surface. The inner elongate strips are arranged so that each of the first surfaces of the inner elongate strips is spaced from the second surface of the outer elongate strip. The inner elongate strips are also spaced from each other to form an elongate intermediate pane gap. Support legs extend between the outer elongate strip and the two inner elongate strips.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: GUARDIAN IG, LLCInventors: Raimo T. Nieminen, Richard Ahnen, Paul Terpstra, David Rapp, Eric B. Rapp

Patent number: 9187949Abstract: A spacer assembly has a first end and a second end. A first elongate strip extends from the first end to the second end and a second elongate strip is spaced from the first elongate strip, and also extends from the first end to the second end. A sealant is disposed between the first end and the second end and a first flap protrudes from the second end and overlaps a portion of the first end. In a variety of embodiments a primary seal is defined between the first end and the second end and a flap protruding from the second end and extending over the first end defines a secondary seal.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2012Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Guardian IG, LLCInventors: Paul Trpkovski, Raimo T. Nieminen
