Definitions

  • FIG.3 is a partial cross section through a third embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a partial cross section through a fourth embodiment
  • the building-panel is composed of one single glass plate or pane l2 spaced to a group than 2 millimeters, provided that the closely spaced panes are held together at their edges by a continuous or discontinuous elastic connection.
  • the invention consists therein that in a multiple pane building-panel at least two of the panes are held together resiliently at their edges at a mutual distance less, and preferably considerably less. than 2 millimeters and are spaced from a single pane or a second group of closely spaced panes a conventional rather large distance. thereby securing without appreciably increasing the overall thickness a heat insulating building-panel having very much improved sound insulating properties when compared with conventional multiple pane building-panels.
  • the air or other gas entrapped between two closely spaced plates must, of course, be dry to avoid condensation of moisture on the inside of the plates at low temperture.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial cross section through a first embodiment of a heat and sound insulating building-panel according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a partial cross section through a second embodiment
  • the two plates 10 and 11 are positioned very close together, the distance between the plates being at any rate less than 2 millimeters, the two plates in this group being held together by a continuous strip 15 of a not-hardening adhesive close to the edge of the plates forming a hermetic seal between the plates.
  • the gas space 16 between the single plate 10 and the group of plates 12,13 may be in direct communication with the atmosphere by narrow channels, not shown, and there may be provided in the space, in known manner, some moisture absorbing material which keeps the air within the space dry.
  • the single glass plate 12 is preferably positioned at the outside surface of the panel and could be thicker than the other plates in order to better withstand wind pressure.
  • FIG. 2 differs from the one illustrated in FIG. 1 only therein that the single glass plate 12 has been substituted by a group of two closely spaced plates 12 and 13.
  • a bulging-in of the outermost plate 13 in the outer group of plates 12,13 due to wind pressure will cause a considerable pressure rise in the very small quantity of gas entrapped between the plates, so that the bulging will be partly transmitted to the inner plate 12, so that in spite of the very small distance between them the two plates 12 and 13 will never touch each other.
  • FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 differ from those illustrated in FIG. I and 2, respectively, only therein that the inner plates 11 and 12 are positioned within the spacer frame 14.
  • the most important improvement by the panels made according to the present invention is that the total thickness required for a certain degree of sound insulation of a panel made according to common principles, can be essentially reduced. This is shown by comparing the airborne sound insulation index I (according to ISO document R 717) measured for the constructions shown in FIGS. 5-8.
  • FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show known constructions available on the market, whereas FIG. 8 represents a building-panel made according to the invention.
  • a multi-pane buliding panel comprising in combination:
  • first and second glass panes each having a thickness so as to be self-supporting in its horizontal position when supported at its edges only. said panes being disposed in essentially parallel face-to-face relationship with each other with an undivided space between said panes,
  • said at least one other pane comprises third and fourth panes that a. are disposed in essentially parallel face-to-face relationship with each other b. are held together resiliently adjacent their edges and c. are spaced less than 2 millimeters from each other.
