Definitions

• lnsulating panel preferably closure of openings, with varying light transmission and/or heat passage
• the invention deals with systems for influencing the passage of light and/or heat radiation through closures of openings, especially closures of openings in walls, ceilings or roofs, where these closures generally have the form of windows or at least partly glazed doors.
• These systems ensure transmission, reflection or absorption of light and heat radiation in a variable way with regard to the instantaneous situation, e.g. on the basis of the current season, instantaneous temperature of the premises that are mutually separated with these closures, which are usually designed as windows.
• they may also take the form of insulating panels that are not windows in the right sense of the word and from which relatively independently screening or insulating walls are built that are positioned in front of peripheral walls or shells of buildings.
• the overall light and heat effect can be influenced not only by the selection of the layer or foil type, but also by the, fact where such a layer is positioned, i.e. e.g. on the inner or outer side of the glass panel, on the inner or outer sheet of a, double insulating glass pane, etc.
• heat radiation penetrates into the interior, or conversely, is reflected to the outdoor environment, or the inner sheet of the double insulating glass pane may be directly heated up to heat up the interior and improve the heat comfort inside the room.
• Th ⁇ s e.g. a window system is known, commercially referred to as "KSD-windows", where in the basic window wing an auxiliary window is mounted in , a rotary way, representing double insulating pane with a light frame while on one of the glass sheets foil supporting absorption of heat radiation is glued from the inside.
• the auxiliary wing is turned in the main window wing in such a way for the glass sheet with the absorption foil to become the outer sheet, which means that the outer glass sheet is heated up and penetration of heat to the interior is reduced by the gap between the glass sheets.
• the auxiliary wing is rotated by 180° so that the glass sheet with the absorption foil can become the inner sheet, which results in heating of the inner glass sheet by the penetrating heat radiation while the inner sheet is insulated from the cold outdoor environment by the gap between the glass sheets in this position, helping to heat up the interior.
• a disadvantage of this well- known system is that a window with three frames altogether must be created, i.e.
• the insulating panel contains at least one frame or wing with at least two glass sheets or double or multiple insulating glass pane and where this frame or wing is adapted for introduction of at least one foil able to interact with the passing heat and/or light radiation and/or adapted for influencing the heat convection in its surroundings, namely for introduction of such foil in parallel with these glass sheets in accordance with the presented invention the principle of which Js that at the opposite edges of the frame or wing frame, in the immediate vicinity of the glass sheets or double or multiple insulating glass pane at least one pair of winding mechanisms of the foil is installed that is adapted for simultaneous winding and unwinding of at least one foil where each winding mechanism always contains a winding drum where the foil edge is fixed and in each pair of the winding mechanisms at least one synchronization and/or tensioning element of the winding drum
• a convenient synchronization element is a pair of gears, each connected to a winding drum where these gears are mutually interconnected with a toothed belt.
• one winding drum in one winding mechanism is connected to the drive and the other winding drum in the other winding mechanism is equipped with a spring-loaded winding element. At least one pair of winding mechanisms is advantageously fitted with at least two different foils.
• the different foils of one pair of winding mechanisms are conveniently, with regard to the rewinding direction, arranged one after another and are connected to each other in the parallel direction with the axes of the winding drums of both the winding mechanisms in one pair of these winding mechanisms.
• the drive is designed as a handle or hand wheel, connected directly or via a gear mechanism to at least one winding drum in a cooperating pair of winding mechanisms.
• the drive is designed as an electric motor or electric drive connected to at least one winding drum in a cooperating pair of winding mechanisms.
• the electric drive is connected to a mains and/or battery power supply and/or photovoltaic power supply vyith a backup battery. It is also convenient if one of the foils is at least partly covered with photovoltaic cells.
• the system may work equally well as a mere insulating panel, e.g. installed in front of a peripheral wall, both on a small area and covering the whole such wall.
• a mere insulating panel e.g. installed in front of a peripheral wall, both on a small area and covering the whole such wall.

• the closure is designed as a window IO with a double V ⁇ or triple insulating glass pane 13.
• the window 10 contains a fixed frame 1 and a wing frame H.
• This wing frame H is adapted for introduction of two foils 3 able to interact with the passing heat and light radiation and designed for influencing the heat convention in their surroundings, which is here the space between the two sheets of the double 12 or triple glass pane ⁇ 3.
• foil In practice it would be possible to introduce foil to a standard, already sealed double insulating glass pane, but it would require making a cutout in the corresponding frame edge, which would mean that many advantages of otherwise hermetically closed double or multiple pane would not be used.
• the system will be designed in such a way that in the wing frame two glass sheets will be installed next to each other, but not as a pre-insulated and sealed product, but as a pair of sheets assembled in the wing frame only, as shown in Fig.3 and Fig.4 while in the case of a system with three sheets a certain triple glass pane system is created, but it is composed of a pre-insulated and sealed double insulating sheet supplemented in the wing frame with another, third glass sheet enclosing the space with the movable foil.

• it may be necessary to supplement the pair of winding mechanisms with a foil tensioning mechanism which may be e.g. solved by mounting of the bearings of one of the winding drums in a sliding seat with tensioning springs, but then you may need to consider supplementing the whole mechanism with a tensioning device of the toothed belt.
• the winding drums may also be synchronized in such a way that in one pair of cooperating winding mechanisms one winding drum in one winding mechanism is connected to the drive and the other winding drum in the other winding mechanism is equipped with a spring-loaded winding element.
• This design is not illustrated. here, but it can be created with the use of knowledge of winding mechanisms of common window bjinds. It is true that in this embodiment the force of the winding springs must be suitably adjusted, but there is an advantage that the foil is always tensioned without the need of creating another tensioning mechanism.
