Description
The present invention relates to a building kit for the subsequent installation of an insulation glazing on exist-in single or multiple glazed windows, doors, or the like, said kit having single glass panes and hollow spacer strips disposed all around their edges and undetachable connected there-to with interposed sealing material, said spacer strips con-twining a molecular sieve material. Said spacer strips also are undetachable mounted on existing glazing with interposed sealing material and have a concealing frame for final cover-in.
Insulation glazings consisting of two glass panes spaced apart and rigidly connected to each other by spacer strips so as to be impervious to air and water vapor are known. For replacing existing single glazings in doors or windows by this type of insulation glazing substantial expend dotter of energy is required. The existing putty joints must be enlarged after removing the existing glazing. The insular lion glazings must then be newly inserted in the enlarged putty joints according to special specifications.
In order to save the expenditure of energy and the costs associated therewith or to reduce them substantially, double glazings in which a swing-out glazing is installed on the door or window frames in addition to -the existing glazing are known. This is done in order to be able to remove from the space between the two glass panes dirt and moisture accumulated due to permeability. In fact, the existing glazing can be kept in place but the additional glass pane and the finished double glazing must be installed professionally. If laymen try to install this double glazing by do-it-yourself methods, malfunc--lion of the double glazing would be unavoidable.
In order to provide the possibility of attaching a pane in front of already installed single-pane glazings, for ~226~
example, by the do-it-yourself method, it is known that this front pane forms a unit with a range spacer, to which it is rigidly connected by an adhesive material, the surface of the range spacer facing the single plane glazing being provided with an adhesive material, which, upon being attacked to the pane of the single pane glazing, forms a gas-tight connection between itself and the front pane (German Gebrauchsmuster No.
7,719,752 issued 23rd February 1978 to Kurt Xochlin. Hugger-scopic material is disposed in the hollow range spacers as a so-called molecular sieve.
It has been found that wherewith alone in the do-it-yourself method a double glazing can be installed only by experts and interruptions, for example, on applying the ache-size material when inserting sealing material or when installing the molecular sieve or when joining the corners of the range spacers are unavoidable.
A multi-pane glazing of originally single glazed windows to insulation glass windows which is characterized by an edge composite construction comprising range spacer frames, sealing material and an adhesive on a single glass pane, which, upon joining with an already glazed single pane, forms a multi-pane insulation glazing, is known (German Gebrauchs-muster No. 7,707,013 issued September 1, 1977 to Jan Markup).
This does not really enable a layman either to install a double glazing with a do-it-yourself method. Cons-quaintly there will result leaks and the double glazing will eventually have to be removed again.
Finally a building kit for an insulation glazing of windows, doors, or the like, which already have a single glaze in is known. This building kit comprises a single glass pane having spacer strips extending all around its edges and being detachably connected thereto, said single glass pane being

This does not really enable a layman either to install a double glazing with a do-it-yourself method. Cons-quaintly there will result leaks and the double glazing will eventually have to be removed again.
Finally a building kit for an insulation glazing of windows, doors, or the like, which already have a single glaze in is known. This building kit comprises a single glass pane having spacer strips extending all around its edges and being detachably connected thereto, said single glass pane being
- 2 I I
intended or mounting on the already existing single glazing of - pa -it the window, door or the like, or a single glass pane, -the spacer strips extending all around the edges thereof, for bond in Jo the existing single glazing of the window, door or the like, covering there against, being fastened along the edges thereof and sealing off the single glass pane, and cover strips attachable to the frame of window, door or the like. In the mounted state said cover strips form a frame all around and press against the single glass pane (German Gebrauchsmuster No 7,823,498 issued January 4, 1979 to Klaus Zero).
Although the layman thus is provided with a building kit for insulation glazing, it has been found -that it is desire able to improve this building kit substantially, primarily in order to provide greater safety and practicability when attach-in and joining the individual parts.
Therefore the present invention provides a building kit for the subsequent installation of an insulation glazing of the aforesaid type, i.e., a building kit which will enable a layman to safely install a double glazing on existing single and double glazed windows and doors.
It has been found that this is achieved in a simple manner by connecting the hollow spacer strips to each other by intermediate pieces insertable into their end openings and providing them with ducts for receiving sealing material in their surfaces facing the glass panes.
It is thus possible to delimit their ends by straight sections extending at right angles to the edge regions. Mites at the end of the spacer strips are completely avoided. The spacer strips may be obtained in various lengths and can be reduced to the length required in each particular case. The intermediate pieces may be adapted to the size of the spacer s-trips. They also completely fill the space between the spacer strips. Since ducts for receiving the sealing material are Jo - 3 -,~,~
I
provided on the surfaces of the spacer strips and intermediate pieces which face the glass panes, this sealing material can be inserted easily without smudging which could not be avoided heretofore and will be visible through the glass panes.
In detail, the intermediate pieces have between their insertion ends a center piece, which on the side relative to them it reinforced to the size of the distance pieces. The end forces of the walls of the hollow spacer strips abut against said center piece. Therefore, when intermediate pieces and spacer strips are put together a so-called spacing frame having end faces or boundary surfaces lying in a plane opposite the glass panes is obtained. Prior to putting the spacer strips and intermediate pieces together the spacer strips may be fill-Ed with a molecular sieve material. This molecular sieve or the moisture-adsorbing material is included in the building kit in the form of hermetically sealed tubes. The tubes can be provided with cartridges through which the molecular sieve material can be put into the hollow spacer strips while avoiding the absorption of moisture. The intermediate pieces may have various shapes. In a first example the intermediate pieces have insertion ends extending at right angles to each other.
These intermediate pieces are usually used for joining the spacer strips together at the corners.
In a second example the intermediate pieces have in-section ends which extend in a straight line relative to each other. These intermediate pieces are used, for example, for large windows and doors when joining together spacer strips whose length is less than that of the door or window glazing.
In a further example the intermediate pieces have in-section ends extending at any angle between 90 and thus intermediate pieces are usually used for joining together spacer strips which are usually shorter than the spacer strips AL
mentioned above. These intermediate pieces can be used for adapting the double glazing to curved regions of doors and window frames. In this easer too, the spacer pieces are filled with molecular sieve material prior to being joined to the intermediate pieces.
It is particularly favorable that the faces of the center pieces of the intermediate pieces which face the glass panes have ducts for receiving the sealing material in proper-lion to the spacer strips.
In this manner it is possible to provide the spacer frame joined together by spacer strips and intermediate pieces with sealing material all around without the risk of smudging.
Furthermore it is particularly advantageous that the sealing material in the initial state as a strand or string has a cross section which corresponds to -that of the duct or ducts in the spacer strips and in the intermediate pieces. In this form the strand-or string- shaped sealing material can easily be included in the building kit. As a protection it can be provided with oiled paper to prevent it from sticking to the hands or soiling them.
In a particular embodiment of the present invention in each face of the spacer strips and of the intermediate pieces which faces a glass pane there is provided a duct having a semicircular cross section and the sealing material as a seal-in string has a cross section which is circular in the initial state, the circular cross section corresponding to the shape of the ducts. Since the sealing material is soft, any layman can simply put the circular string into the corresponding ducts and then cut it to the required length. When joining it to the corresponding glass pane the sealing material can then spread over the entire width of the spacer strip and of the interim-dilate piece.
I
In all the embodiments of the present invention there are provided sealing pieces which cover the outer surface of the intermediate pieces and -the adjacent edge regions of the adjoining spacer strips. In this manner reliable sealing of the critical regions between two adjoining spacer strips can be attained even by laymen.
The sealing pieces and the sealing material, primary-lye the sealing strands or strings are designed as a water vapor barrier. It is advantageous to use as the water vapor barrier bottle which is known per so.
As a further protection against penetration of moist lure the regions between the window or door frames and the spacer strips as well as the two glass panes are filled with sealing strands. They can be rolled up and added to the build-in kit in the required amount. By pulling more or less in-tensely when putting the sealing strands into the provided spaces the amount of material can be adapted to the spaces to be sealed.
The sealing pieces on the outer surfaces of the in-termediate pieces and on the edge regions of the spacer strips may extend up to the window or door frames. However, addition-at sealing material can also be provided between the sealing pieces and the window or door frames.
In order to assure easy and safe attachment of the additional glass pane to the existing glazing, spacer blocks are provided between the spacer strips and the opposed regions ; of the window or door frames. The spacer strips are mounted on the window frames prior to inserting the sealing strands, whereupon the additional glass pane with the spacer strips is mounted on the spacer blocks and folded. It is thus possible that the additional glass pane can be put on the existing glass pane without having to remove the windows or doors.

Referring to Figure 1 a window or door frame 2 has an existing pane 1. A single pane 4 is provided with a hollow spacer strip 5 shown in detail in Figure 2 extending all around its edges. The pane 4 with the spacer strips is dimensioned to fit on the existing pane 1, a sufficiently large space remain-in between thinner edges of the window or door frame 2 and the outer surfaces of the spacer strip 5. This space may be filled with sealing material 22 or spacer blocks 23 as shown in Figure 8.

Upon inserting or attaching the single glass pane 4 to the existing pane 1 the edge regions are covered with a concealing frame 15.
Referring to Figure 2 the hollow spacer strip 5 which is conventional has a rectangular cross section as well as end openings 6 and end faces 7 of the spacer strip walls 8.
A so-called molecular sieve material 13 of water-vapour-adsorbing material is indicated diagrammatically within the spacer strip 5 so that air between the two panes 1 and 4 has access to the molecular sieve material 13, corresponding openings 14 are provided on the inner surface of the spacer strip 5.
Referring to Figure 3 the intermediate piece 16 has a center piece 18 and insertion ends 17 extending at right angles to each other. The center piece 18 is so reinforced no-native to the insertion pieces 17 that on being joined with the spacer strips 5 it has boundary surfaces lying in a plane and facing the glass panes.
Referring to Figure 4 the intermediate piece aye has a center piece 18 and insertion ends at an angle of 180 with one another. Two spacer strips 5 are shown dotted in Figure 4.

The spacer strip 5 according to Figure 2 and the spacer strips 5 according to Figure 6 have ducts 10 which are shown in detail in Figure 7 and 8. Strand-shaped sealing material 20 or string-shaped sealing material aye having a circular cross section or a cross section corresponding to the ducts 10 are inserted into said ducts 10. In conjunction with the correspondingly shaped strands or strings of sealing material these ducts substantial-lye facilitate the fastening of sealing material to the spacer strips. The ducts 10 in the faces 9 of the spacer strips 5 which are facing the glass panes l and 4 extend into the center pieces 18 as ducts 19, lea and lob.
Referring to Figure 8 spacer blocks 23 are placed on the corresponding regions of the window or door frame 2 prior to installing the single glass pane 4. They serve as supports, particularly when installing large single glass panes 4 and permit mounting in the non-removed state of the windows or doors. It is evident from Figure 8 that the installed pane 1 is secured in the frame 2 with putty 3.
It is evident from Figure 9 that even shorter spacer-strips 5 can be joined by means of the intermediate pieces 16b.
This embodiment can be used with advantage where the windows or doors have semicircular arches. Vertically extending longer spacer strips can then be attached to the free ends of the g it 76~
spacer strips 5 in Figure 9 by means of corresponding interim- -dilate pieces.
In a preferred embodiment the intermediate piece 16, aye, 16b consists of moldable material so that it can be read-lye adapted to the desired angles between the center piece 18 and the insertion ends 17.
