MOSÄIIKKILASI-ELEMENT

The invention relates to a mosaic glass element obtained by breaking the inner glass of a 3-glass laminated glass structure.

The invention can be applied in the construction industry in facade, floor and roof structures, as an interior element as an interior structure, as a glare protection for luminaires and as table tops.

10 Current laminated glass elements are made of intact glass sheets with an aesthetic impression and traditional light behavior in the structure.

The mosaic glass element retains its strength properties by means of the outermost intact glass sheets. The broken and tempered 15 middle glass has lost its strength properties in the structure, but in its new distorted state it functions as a multi-obviously light-reflecting element.

The lamination film between the glass layers binds the broken glass particles to each other as well as to other glass layers.

20 Glass sheets and laminate films can be treated in different ways. Clear Float type glass can be sandblasted. In addition, both the glasses and the laminating films may be colored in the element.

The mosaic glass element provides a new, surprising architectural impression compared to a conventional '25 laminated glass structure. The mosaic glass element reflects sunlight or artificial light alternately 98441 2 depending on the intensity, color and direction of the light source.

Seen from the front, the mosaic glass element retains its 5 transparency when using clear glasses. As the angle becomes large enough, the transparency disappears due to the reflection effects of the cracks in the particles of the broken glass sheet.

In the following, the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.

10 No. 1 shows Float glass 3-5 mm

No. 2 shows a laminating film

No. 3 shows broken and tempered Float glass 3-5 mm. Breaking glass can be done in two different ways. If desired, a flat mosaic-15 glass surface is mechanically ground on the middle tempered glass of the finished intact glass element from the edges of the glass. In this case, the glass breaks into small parts as desired.

The breaking can also be done by hitting the edge of the average glass to be broken point at a point, causing the glass sheet to crack radially away from the point of impact.

No. 4 shows a laminating film

No. 5 shows Float glass 3-5 mm 25 No. 6 shows sunlight or artificial light that transmits and reflects from a broken glass surface as shown.

Mosaic glass elements can be used, for example, in the external wall structures of a building if it is desired to form large 30 uniform glass surfaces. The natural uses of the glass structure in the interior of the building are the 3 98441 partition structures dividing the premises, which are required to be particularly impact-resistant, as well as the glass structures of the glass doors.

In the luminaires, mosaic glass elements can be used in 5 reflector parts that require heat resistance in addition to impact resistance. Broken mosaic glass transmits light in a rich, versatile and beautiful way.

Claims (2)

4 98441 PATENT CLAIM A mosaic glass element which reflects light in many ways, characterized in that the inner glass of the laminated glass element, which is tempered glass, is broken. In the case of a reflector of a mosaic glass element, the inner part of the glass glazing element is exposed to the inner glass surface.
