Abstract
A leaded light is mounted between a pair of glass panes.
Description
SPECIFICATION
Window assembly
The invention relates to a window assembly.
Various attempts have been made in the past to mount a leaded light (that is a plurality of glass panes connected together by lead strips) between a pair of glass panes and these have involved the use of a rubber mount, wires, or a lead shoe. None of these methods has been particularly satisfactory and they are all fairly complex.
In accordance with the present invention, a window assembly comprises a leaded light mounted by means of a substantially rigid support between a pair of glass panes.
With the invention, the leaded light is securely mounted by means of a substantially rigid support and the problems outlined above are avoided.
Preferably, the support extends around the perimeter of the leaded light in order to provide a particularly secure mounting.
Typically, the support may be formed by a mica strip or an extruded aluminium bar.
Preferably, the leaded light has a lead strip around its perimeter which engages the substantially rigid support. This construction enables a particularly secure connection to be achieved between the support and the leaded light.
In one particularly convenient arrangement, the assembly comprises an hermetically sealed unit in which the leaded light is encapsulated between the two glass panes with the optional addition of a molecular sieve to absorb any moisture which may be present within the unit.
The main advantage of the hermetically sealed unit is that the leaded light is fully protected. The hermetically sealed unit also enables a small distinguishing mark to be provided on an inner surface of one of the glass panes which cannot be tampered with.
Such a distinguishing mark might be a trade mark etched into the glass pane. Additionally, the leaded light may include a stained glass pattern.
An example of a window assembly in accordance with the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing which is a cross-section.
The window assembly illustrated in the drawing is an hermetically sealed unit which comprises a pair of glass panes 1, 2 defining between them a space 3 in which is mounted a leaded light 4. Lead strips 5 extend in a conventional manner through the leaded light 4 while a further lead strip 6 extends around the perimeter of the leaded light 4. Typically, the glass panes 1, 2 and the leaded light 4 will be rectangular although other shapes may be used.
The lead strip 6 includes an outwardly facing groove 7 into which a rectangular cross-section foot 8 of a key 9 extends. The key 9 also includes a flange 10 integral with the foot 8. In this case, the key 9 comprises an extruded aluminium bar.
Typically, the width of the flange 10, as seen in the drawing, will be about 1.5 mm while the width of the foot 8 will be about 4 mm. The height of the flange 10 will be about 8 mm and the height of the foot 8 will be about 6 mm.
The glass panes 1, 2 are hermetically sealed together by means of conventional double glazing edge sealant 11. The flange portion 10 of the key 9 is also embedded in the edge sealant 11 in order to seal and support the leaded light 4 in the space 3.
Conventional perforated, tubular aluminium spacers 12, 13 such as are commonly used with double glazing extend on either side of and along the flange 10 within the space 3.
The spacers 12,13 assist in supporting the key 9 within the space 3 since the spacers 12, 13 also contact the glass panes 1,2.
Additionally, conventional molecular sieve is provided in the spacers 12, 13 to absorb any moisture which may be present in the space 3 on either side of the leaded light 4.
As may be seen, the assembly shown in the drawing forms a convenient hermetically sealed unit in which the leaded light 4 is encapsulated between the glass panes 1,2.
1. A window assembly comprising a leaded light mounted by means of a substantially rigid support between a pair of glass panes.
2. An assembly according to claim 1, wherein the support extends around the perimeter of the leaded light.
3. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein a lead strip is mounted around the perimeter of the leaded light to engage the support.
4. An assembly according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the support comprises an extruded aluminium bar or a mica strip.
5. An assembly according to any of the preceding claims, wherein molecular sieve is provided in the space between the glass panes to absorb moisture.
6. An hermetically sealed unit comprising an assembly according to any of the preceding claims, in which the leaded light is encapsulated between the glass panes.
7. A window assembly substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawing.
