  • Patent number: 9791759
    Abstract: A multiple glazing with variable scattering by liquid crystals includes first and second flat float glass sheets sealed on the edge of their internal faces by a sealing joint, in particular made of a given sealing material, in particular essentially organic, first and second electrodes, and a layer of liquid crystals with an average thickness E between 15 and 60 ?m inclusive of these values and incorporating spacers. The thickness A of each of the first and second glass sheets is less than or equal to 5.5 mm, and each of the internal faces coated with the first and second electrodes has a dioptric defect score, expressed in millidioptres, of less than 12E/15 where the thickness E of the liquid crystals is in ?m.

  • Publication number: 20110113694
    Abstract: A sliding wall including at least one panel configured to slide and a multiple glazing unit that includes at least two glass sheets separated by at least one basically flat interlayer fixed via one of its faces to edge faces of the glass sheets on at least part of a periphery of the glazing unit. The glazing unit has no interlayer along at least part of one of its edges to create a lateral opening, a space between the two glass sheets forming a receiving area for the panel configured to slide in by being introduced through the lateral opening.

  • Patent number: 6488796
    Abstract: A method of producing a vacuum between two glass sheets to form an insulating glazing. One of the sheets has a hole drilled in its thickness. Spacers are placed between the two glass sheets with the sealing joint being placed around the periphery of the sheets. A vacuum is created between the sheets through the hole which is then closed. The spacers are fixed on one of the sheets by bonding with a mineral compound covering at least the bonding zones on the glass sheet. The second sheet is placed on the spacers and on the peripheral sealing joint. The peripheral sealing and the bonding with the spacers are simultaneously effected by raising the temperature.

  • Publication number: 20020162278
    Abstract: A window or door has at least one folding panel or sliding door and a frame is installed in a chamber wall including an opening to be closed. The edges of the window or door are fixed on the chamber wall to be closed such that the window or door remains parallel to the wall and is not inserted into the thickness of the wall. Thus, there is no empty space to fill up, and the operation of creating a seal, which is often difficult to carry out successfully, is no longer necessary.

  • Patent number: 6138434
    Abstract: A glazed element having a high insulating ability is composed of at least two glass sheets, between which a vacuum has been created, separated from each other by mounts distributed over their entire surface. The sheets are joined together around their periphery by an inorganic seal. The glazed element has at least one hole scaled in a vacuum-tight manner around its periphery with the aid of an inorganic seal.

  • Patent number: 6051820
    Abstract: An insulating glazed element composed of at least two glass sheets separated from each other by a small space in which a vacuum has been created is provided with a heating element on an internal face of at least one of the glass sheets. Two current supply collecting lines are positioned on at least part of the internal face of the at least one of said glass sheets. The heating element includes at least one conductive layer deposited on at least part of the internal face of the at least one of the glass sheets. The conductive layer extends between the two current supply collecting lines.

  • Patent number: 5540514
    Abstract: An assembly for mechanically hanging a glazing element to a supporting structure uses an articulated fixing system allowing the plate to tilt about its support point on said system. It includes a cavity defining element engaging the glazing element and a carrying element connectable to the supporting structure and having a portion fittable in a cavity defined by said cavity defining element so as to form an articulated connection with said cavity defining element. The articulated connection has a bearing region and supports the glazing element for turning with a pendular motion about the bearing region. This makes possible a bending movement of controlled amplitude of the glazing element.

  • Patent number: 4957572
    Abstract: In order to form a bead of organic material having a butyl rubber base and a viscosity greater than 35000 poises, the material in a drum is heated and pumped by a reciprocating pump and delivered to an output nozzle via a conduit. A lock chamber in the conduit is delimited by valves. A variable volume chamber connected to the lock chamber or upstream of the lock chamber is able to selectively take in or discharge organic material for maintaining a constant pressure at the nozzle.
