  • Multiple pane glass unit with electrically conductive transparent film for use as radiation shield
    Patent number: 4613530
    Abstract: A glass unit having at least a pair of glass panes spaced from and on opposite sides of an electrically conductive transparent film in a taut condition. The glass panes are separated by a pair of spacer tubes between which the outer peripheral margin of the plastic film extends. A sealant covers the outer peripheries of the spacer tubes and spans the distance between the outer peripheries of the panes. An electrical lead electrically connected directly or through a wire cloth to the film couples the film to electrical ground. The glass unit is transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the 400 to 700 nm range but opaque to electromagnetic radiation in the range of 10.sup.10 to 10.sup.4 nm.
