Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to insulated window panes. More particularly, it refers to a method of forming two or more impact resistant laminated insulating window panes and mounting them in a window frame.
- Although multiple glazed insulating glass mounted in a frame is well known as shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,553,913; 4,542,611; 4,822,649; 5,156,894; 5,269,108 and 5,878,538. Such patents do not describe making impact resistant window panes and mounting them in a frame. Insulating glass having substantial structural resistance to wind loading stresses is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,714,214. Glass resistant to impact from large missiles, as described in the South Florida Building Code, is not described in this patent.
- Recently, local building codes have specified the need for impact resistant glass, the glass to withstand up to nine pounds of force from a 2×4 board shot at the glass at up to 50 feet/second. The prior art does not provide a method for mounting such impact resistant glass in a window frame.
- The method of this invention balances large missile impact resistance and thermal efficiency in a window system. A pair of impact resistant glass panes in a customary dry-lamination process are formed by coating the glass with a plurality of plies of safety film laminated together. A spacer is positioned to separate each coated glass pane. A top or inboard surface of the spacer is positioned level with a top of the window frame along a site line. An area from the bottom or outboard portion of the spacer to an edge of the glass is back-filled with silicone sealant or buytal. The spacer is ¼ to ¾ inch in width between the glass panes. The resulting impact resistant two window pane composite is secured into a glazing channel on a window frame with silicone applied in the glazing channel between an inner surface of the window frame and a surface of the window glass panes opposite the coated surface.
- The invention can be best understood by those having ordinary skill in the art by reference to the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
- FIG. 1 is a front elevational perspective view of a window frame assembly made in accordance with the method of this invention.
- FIG. 2 is an exaggerated side view of a three ply safety film being laminated together.
- FIG. 3 is an exaggerated side view of the safety film of FIG. 2 laminated together.
- FIG. 4 is an exaggerated side view of the safety film being coated on a window pane.
- FIG. 5 is an exaggerated side view of the safety film coated on a surface of the window pane.
- FIG. 6 is a side view in section of a spacer being mounted between two coated window panes.
- FIG. 7 is a side view in section of the spacer mounted between two window panes.
- FIG. 8 is a side view in section of a frame member with a silicone tape being affixed to the frame member's glazing channel.
- FIG. 9 is a side view in section of a two pane window composite being mounted in a window frame.
- FIG. 10 is a sectional view along line10-10 of FIG. 1 showing the window composite mounted in the window frame.
- Throughout the following detailed description, the same reference numbers refer to the same element in all figures.
- Referring to FIGS. 1 and 10, the method of this invention makes a multiple
window pane composite 10 securely mounted within awindow frame 12 to create an insulated impact-resistant window. Such an impact-resistant window can withstand a nine pound force of a 2×4 wooden post striking the glass at a speed of 50 feet/second, and cyclic load as described by the South Florida Building Code. - Referring to FIGS.2-3, three
plies 14 of 4 mm polyethylene terephthalate film (PET) are laminated together with an acrylic pressuresensitive adhesive 16 to form a polyethyleneterephthalate film thickness 20 of approximately twelve mils. Such a laminate is classified as a safety film and is used to coat awindow pane 18 shown in FIGS. 4-5. Other safety films which can be used include single or multiple films, ranging from about 8 mil to 25 mil. These films can be made of PET, polycarbonate or other like plastic materials. The laminatedfilm thickness 20 is laminated to only one surface of theglass window pane 18. The laminatedfilm thickness 20 is applied overedge 32 of theglass 18 and is then cut off even withedge 32. - Two of the laminated
window panes 22 shown in FIG. 5 are faced to each other and aspacer 24 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, having a topinboard surface 26 and abottom outboard surface 28 is placed between the laminated surfaces of the twowindow panes 22 and pressed together to form a multiplewindow pane composite 10 shown in FIG. 7. A structural silicone orbuytal 30 is backfilled from theoutboard surface 28 of thespacer 24 to theedge 32 of the laminatedwindow pane 22. - The spacer employed should have a thickness sufficient so its
outboard surface 28 extends to about ¼ inch from thewindow pane edge 32 and its inboard surface is on thesite line 44 of thewindow frame 12. The width of the spacer between the laminatedwindow panes 22 should be {fraction (1/4)} to {fraction (9/16)} inch with ¼ to ½ inch being preferred. Edge Tech's “super spacer” or Tru Seal's “swiggle” are preferredspacers 24. - A
foam silicone tape 34 is then placed around theglazing channel 36 inwindow frame 12 as shown in FIG. 8. As shown in FIG. 9, the multiplewindow frame composite 10 is then placed in theglazing channel 36 to abut thefoam tape 34 and fixed in a manner so that the topinboard surface 26 of thespacer 24 is level with thetop 38 of thewindow frame 12. This is called thesite line 44.Additional silicone 40 is then backfilled around the multiplewindow pane composite 10 so that the silicone fills in thebite 42 of theframe 12. Thereafter, a snap in glazing bead well known in the prior art is inserted and any gaps between the glazing bead and thewindow pane composite 10 is filled withstructural silicone 40 up to thesite line 44 of thewindow frame 12. - Buytal can be substituted for the
silicone - The
silicone foam tape 34 should be about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick and extend from thesite line 44 to the bottom ofglazing channel 36. It should be positioned between an inner wall of thewindow frame 12 and a non-coated surface of awindow pane 18 as seen in FIG. 9. - The
bite 42 of the window into the frame should be between ½ and 1 inch with ⅞ inch being preferred. - The
minimum glass pane 18 thickness will vary depending on the area of use wind load chart and building codes. About ⅜ inch glass is suitable in most areas with a laminated film surface thickness of 0.008 to 0.020 inch. Three plies amounting to 0.012 inch is preferred. - The above description has described specific steps and materials to form an insulated high impact resistant composite mounted in a window frame. However, it will be within the knowledge of one having ordinary skill in the art to make modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the underlying inventive steps. The inventive concept for the steps employed are not limited to the materials employed but include modification and equivalence as would normally be employed.
