a. 'r_^k4 M_41uTJ: -W1xj1^WvW COMPLETE SPECIFICATION FOR THE INVENTION ENTITLED:- "VENTILATED SOUNDPROOF GLASS" The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me:r la TITLE: VENTILATED SOUNDPROOF GLASS 4 4 *9 4 4 .4 i This invention relates to ventilated soundproof glass which can be used in offices, houses or any other building, providing a soundproofing effect while still maintaining ventilation.
Ordinary glass is not very effective in preventing noise or other sounds waves from propagation. It is true that there is a type of glass being made of two layers of glass with a thin film in between, which 10 provides a much better soundproofing effect than ordinary glass. Nevertheless, when this type of glass is installed in a building, it is necessary to provide an air-conditioning system in' the building because the glass is not capable of letting air go through.
Ih cities where noise pollution is a very serious problem, people tend to use the afore-mentioned glass in the large buildings, thus consuming more energy in ventilation due to the continual use of airconditioning.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, this invention in one aspect resides broadly in a ventilated soundproof glass comprising: at least a first and a second sheet of glass with one sheet of plastic film there between, wherein said sheets 'of glass and said sheet of plastic film have a plurality of holes therein respectively; said holes of first and second sheet of glass, and said sheet of plastic film
S*
I k t C' S e 2 -2being in different horizontal and vertical positions, one side of said first sheet of glass and one side of said second sheet of glass adjacent to said sheet of plastic film having a plurality of grooves arranged thereon between said holes of said first sheet of glass and said second sheet of glass respectively.
Therefore, the present invention discloses a new type of glass which permits air to go through the glass while still preventing the sound from passing through 10 it.
In order that this invention may be more readily S' understood and put into practical effect, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate typical embodiments of the present invention, and wherein:- S t Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of ventilated soundproof glass in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is a plane view of the ventilated 20 soundproof glass of FIG. 1; Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the ventilated soundproof glass as seen from line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of a portion of FIG.
Fig. 5 is an exploded view of an embodiment of the ventilated soundproof glass of FIG. 1; j Fig. 6 is an exploded view of a second embodiment of ventilated soundproof glass in accordance with the -3present invention; and Fig. 7 is an exploded view of a third embodiment of ventilated soundproof glass in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to Fig. 1, an embodiment of a sheet of ventilated soundproof glass according to the present invention is shown. It can be seen that the ventilated soundproof glass consists of three parts, namely, a first sheet of glass 1, a second sheet of glass 4 and a 10 sheet of plastic film 2 there between. The first sheet of glass 1 and second sheet of glass 4 can be made of ordinary glass or acrylic-plastics.
t Now, with further reference to Fig. 2, it can be t t seen that the first sheet of glass 1, the second sheet of glass 4 and the sheet of plastic film 2 all have a I plurality of round holes arranged therein, respectively. The round holes in the first sheet of glass 1 are seen as solid circles 11 in Fig. 2, the round holes in the second sheet of glass 4 are represented by dotted circles 41, and the round circles in the sheet of plastic film 2 are represented by semidotted circles 21, respectively. These round holes in the three separate sheets are all in different vertical and horizontal positions. The first sheet of glass 1 has a plurality of vertical and horizontal grooves 12, being rectangular in cross-section, between the round holes at one side thereof adjacent to the sheet of f 4 plastic film 2, forming a pattern much like that of a large screen.. Each of the round holes 11, 21, 41 of the first sheet 1, the plastic film 2, and the second sheet 4, respectively, are aligned with particular intersections of the grooves 12 and 42, so as to allow for ventilation between the respective holes. The second sheet of glass 4 has also a plurality of grooves 42 at one side thereof adjacent to the sheet of plastic film 2, the grooves having exactly the same pattern as 10 that of the first sheet of glass 1.
S:-Now referring to Figs. 3 and 4, it can be observed that the air first'goes through the round holes 11 in the first sheet of glass 1, then passes through the holes 21 in the sheet of plastic film 2 by way of the grooves 12 .in the first sheet of glass 1, and then r t continues to proceed on through the grooves 42 in the t t second sheet of glass 4, and finally exits through ,"lt the round holes 41 in the second sheet of glass 4.
When'the ventilated soundproof glass is installed in a I 20 building, the building can be ventilated through the use of the ventilated soundproof glass in a manner as described above. While the sound waves, although being able to propagate through the round holes also, are substantially reduced due to the long paths of the grooves. The effect of the -sound waves propagating therethrough is much like that of a silencer.
Furthermore, the plastic film 2 also contributes to the effect of absorbing the sound.
r I*s^ w ^i-i™ I ii~l 5 Fig. 5 gives another clear view of the first embodiment of the ventilated soundproof glass. Figs. 6 and 7 provide second and third embodiments of the ventilated soundproof glass according to the present invention. The difference between these embodiments and the first embodiment lie in the configuration of the grooves 12 and 42 of the first sheet of glass 1 and second sheet of glass 4, respectively. Although the configuration is different, the above arguments 10 concerning the propagation of the sound waves and noise I s St. t: still apply.
4 S.Likewise, the round holes 11 of the first sheet of o glass 1 and the round holes 41 of the second sheet of 1 glass 4 could alternately be other shapes other than round, and the cross-sections of the grooves of the
II
first sheet of glass and second sheet of glass could alternately be other shapes as well as rectangular, in the embodiments.
This ventilated soundproof glass can consist of 20 more than two sheets of glass and one sheet of plastic film. For example, it can contain three sheets of glass with a sheet of plastic film between the first sheet of glass and the second sheet of glass and another sheet of plastic film between the second sheet of glass and the third sheet of glass, thereby enhancing the soundproofing effect. The last but not the least to be pointed out is that the sheet of i 6plastic film 2 between the first sheet of glass 1 and second sheet of glass 4 can be of any color desired, thereby reducing the light transmission and giving a more beautiful appearance.
Thus far, it is to be appreciated that the present invention is a significant improvement over the prior art, and further explanation is believed unnecessary.
Since various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention without departing from the scope of the invention, it is to be understood that all matter t.s. herein described or shown in the accompanying drawings t is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a T^'S limiting sense. Thus it will be appreciated that the drawings are exemplary of preferred embodiments of the invention and that the' scope of the invention is to be I *limited only by the scope of the appended claims.
