Abstract

The invention relates to glass blocks formed from two shells (1) and (2) joined together with interposition of a plastic frame (3) which interrupts the thermal bridge that was formed by contact of the two glass walls, the insulation thus obtained being enhanced by assembly being carried out under vacuum. The invention can be used for the construction of transparent or translucent partitions which can be inserted into walls provided with insulation without the presence of such glass partitions modifying, over the areas that they occupy, the rate of heat transfer of the entire construction.

Description

BRIQUE DE VERRE ISOLANTE. INSULATING GLASS BRICK.

Les briques de verre destinées à la construction de surfaces transparentes ou translucides sont fabriquées par soudure sur leur périphérie de deux coquilles de verre laissant un espace vide entre elles. Glass bricks intended for the construction of transparent or translucent surfaces are produced by welding on their periphery two glass shells leaving an empty space between them.

Il est constaté que les surfaces utilisant ce matériau présentent un coefficient de transmission thermique plus élevé que celui de la paroi adjacente qui comporte souvent des matériaux isolants, cela étant dû non seulement au mortier liant les briques de verre entre elles, mais aussi à la brique de verre elle-même au niveau de sa paroi périphérique qui comporte la soudure des deux coquilles et au niveau de laquelle se situe donc une liaison sans rupture de continuité entre la paroi avant de la brique et la paroi arrière, l'une recevant les calories, l'autre les diffusant. It is found that the surfaces using this material have a higher coefficient of thermal transmission than that of the adjacent wall which often includes insulating materials, this being due not only to the mortar bonding the glass bricks together, but also to the brick of glass itself at the level of its peripheral wall which includes the welding of the two shells and at the level of which there is therefore a connection without break in continuity between the front wall of the brick and the rear wall, one receiving the calories , the other diffusing them.

Selon la demande de brevet N 93-0062 le déposant a proposé d'organiser sur les briques de verre une ceinture de matière plastique solidaire de la totalité de la surface périphérique où se situe la jonction des deux coquilles, la liaison entre elles des briques de verre ainsi équipées pour former une cloison translucide se faisant par simple collage au niveau de la surface extérieure de leur ceinture. According to patent application N 93-0062 the applicant has proposed to organize on the glass bricks a plastic belt integral with the entire peripheral surface where the junction of the two shells is located, the connection between them bricks of glass thus equipped to form a translucent partition by simple gluing at the outer surface of their belt.

Outre les avantages mécaniques que l'adjonction d'une telle ceinture plastique a apporté dans l'utilisation des briques de verre, il est constaté que la présence de cette ceinture plastique, qui participe à la liaison des briques entre elles, participe aussi à la réduction du pont thermique précédemment constaté à ce niveau, la matière plastique ayant un coefficient À de transmission calorifique inférieur au À du mortier de liaison habituellement utilisé avec les briques de verre normales. In addition to the mechanical advantages that the addition of such a plastic belt has brought in the use of glass bricks, it is found that the presence of this plastic belt, which participates in the bonding of the bricks together, also participates in the reduction of the thermal bridge previously noted at this level, the plastic having a coefficient of heat transfer lower than the bond mortar usually used with normal glass bricks.

Et ce coefficient X de la matière plastique étant inférieur aussi au X du verre, il a été conçu une brique de verre dont la liaison des deux coquilles s'effectue non plus par soudure périphérique des deux coquilles entre elles, mais au moyen de la ceinture périphérique de matière plastique elle-même.  And this coefficient X of the plastic being also lower than the X of glass, a glass brick has been designed, the connection of the two shells no longer by peripheral welding of the two shells together, but by means of the belt plastic device itself.

La brique de verre, selon l'invention, est donc principalement caractérisée par la liaison périphérique de deux coquilles de verre au moyen de la ceinture plastique qui rompt la continuité de la conduction thermique entre les deux faces de la brique de verre. The glass block, according to the invention, is therefore mainly characterized by the peripheral connection of two glass shells by means of the plastic belt which breaks the continuity of the thermal conduction between the two faces of the glass block.

La figure 1 est une vue schématique en élévation d'une brique de verre ainsi fabriquée. Figure 1 is a schematic elevational view of a glass block thus manufactured.

La figure 2 est une vue schématique en coupe verticale, selon A A, d'une telle brique.  Figure 2 is a schematic view in vertical section, along A A, of such a brick.

Ainsi représentée, on constate que la brique de verre, constituée par les deux coquilles 1 et 2 qui sont liées entre elles par la ceinture plastique 3 qui est de préférence en contact simultané avec la tranche périphérique de chacune des deux coquilles et avec le plat extérieur du bord de la cuvette que chacune d'elles forme. Thus represented, it can be seen that the glass block, constituted by the two shells 1 and 2 which are linked together by the plastic belt 3 which is preferably in simultaneous contact with the peripheral edge of each of the two shells and with the outer dish from the edge of the bowl that each of them forms.

La ceinture 3 qui, de préférence, présente extérieurement les cannelures mâles et femelles antérieurement décrites dans la demande N 930062 pour assurer le positionnement réciproque des briques adjacentes et permettre la mise en place selon les axes orthogonaux des fers d'ancrage dans le bâtiment des panneaux ainsi constitués, peut être obtenue par extrusion d'une bande présentant le profil 3a
Dans ce cas ladite bande extrudée est sectionnée pour être placée autour d'une matrice, de même forme et de même périmètre que la brique de verre, permettant de lui donner la forme d'un cadre, fermé par la soudure entre elles des deux extrémités de ladite bande.
The belt 3 which, preferably, presents externally the male and female grooves previously described in application N 930062 to ensure the reciprocal positioning of the adjacent bricks and allow the positioning along the orthogonal axes of the anchoring irons in the building of the panels thus formed, can be obtained by extrusion of a strip having the profile 3a
In this case, said extruded strip is sectioned so as to be placed around a matrix, of the same shape and the same perimeter as the glass block, making it possible to give it the shape of a frame, closed by the welding between them of the two ends. of said band.

Elle peut aussi être obtenue par moulage direct d'un cadre fini formant lesdites cannelures sur la périphérie extérieure dudit cadre. It can also be obtained by direct molding of a finished frame forming said grooves on the outer periphery of said frame.

Quel que soit le moyen de fabrication du cadre 3, le montage des coquilles de part et d'autre dudit cadre est opéré par collage étanche au niveau de toutes les surfaces de contact des briques de verre 1 et 2 et dudit cadre 3. Whatever the means of manufacturing the frame 3, the mounting of the shells on either side of the said frame is effected by sealed bonding at all the contact surfaces of the glass bricks 1 and 2 and of the said frame 3.

Pour accroître encore l'isolation thermique cette opération de montage s'effectue sous vide, afin de réduire encore la transmission thermique directe entre les deux faces de la brique par la convection de l'air emprisonné dans le volume ainsi créé. To further increase the thermal insulation, this mounting operation is carried out under vacuum, in order to further reduce the direct thermal transmission between the two faces of the brick by the convection of the air trapped in the volume thus created.

L'invention peut être utilisée pour la construction de cloisons transparentes ou translucides qui peuvent être introduites dans des murs pourvu d'isolation, sans que la présence de telles cloisons de verre modifie, sur les surfaces qu'elles occupent, le taux de transmission calorifique de l'ensemble de la construction.  The invention can be used for the construction of transparent or translucent partitions which can be introduced into walls provided with insulation, without the presence of such glass partitions modifying, on the surfaces which they occupy, the rate of heat transmission. of the whole construction.
