Abstract

An insulating glazed element including at least one insulating glazing unit including at least a first glass sheet and a second glass sheet associated together by an intermediate frame that keeps them a certain distance from each other. The intermediate frame includes at least two horizontal spacers and at least two vertical spacers, which are transparent. The horizontal spacers include at least two compartments which are separate and contiguous.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An insulating glazed element comprising:
at least one insulating glazing comprising at least one first glass sheet and one second glass sheet which are joined together by a spacer frame which holds the first and second glass sheets at a certain distance from one another, the spacer frame extending along horizontal edges and vertical edges;
between the at least first and second glass sheets at least one internal space comprising an insulating gas, the internal space closed by at least one first peripheral seal and one second peripheral seal on horizontal edges and at least one peripheral seal on vertical edges, the peripheral seals being positioned around the internal space;
at least one framework that supports the at least one insulating glazing, the framework comprising:
a fixed support, and
a mobile support connected to the fixed support that enables opening and/or closing of the glazed element, which mobile support lacks lateral sashes;

wherein,
the spacer frame comprises at least two vertical spacers made of transparent resin and at least two horizontal spacers, the spacers being connected together to form the spacer frame, the horizontal spacers comprising a profile comprising at least one first compartment and one second compartment, which are separate and contiguous, the second compartment having a thickness less than or equal to a thickness of the first compartment,
the at least one peripheral seal on the vertical edges is transparent, and
the second compartment is at least in contact with the second peripheral seal.

2. The glazed element according to claim 1 , wherein,
the vertical spacers and horizontal spacers are connected together by at least one fastening means linking the vertical spacer and the horizontal spacer via the second compartment.

3. The glazed element according to claim 1 , wherein,
the second compartment of the horizontal spacer is juxtaposed with an external portion of the first compartment.

4. The glazed element according to claim 1 , wherein,
a thickness of the second compartment is at least 1 mm smaller relative to a thickness of the first compartment.

5. The glazed element according to claim 1 , wherein, the first compartment and second compartment are hollow.

6. The glazed element according to claim 1 , wherein, the first compartment and second compartment are solid.

7. The glazed element according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one fastening means passing through the second peripheral seal connecting the second compartment to the mobile support of the framework and enabling attachment of the glazing to the mobile support of the framework.

8. The glazed element according to claim 1 , wherein,
the second peripheral seal is a mastic having a structural function, selected from silicone, polyurethane, and modified silicone.

9. The glazed element according to claim 1 , further comprising a reinforcing profile inserted in the second peripheral seal.

10. The glazed element according to claim 7 , wherein,
the fastening means comprises a screw made of steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel or bronze.

11. The glazed element according to claim 1 , wherein,
the mobile support of the framework is connected to the fixed support by at least one articulation fastened to the horizontal portion of the mobile support of the framework.

12. The glazed element according to claim 1 further comprising a primer layer positioned between the seal and the glass sheet.

13. The glazed element according to claim 1 , further comprising a primer layer positioned between the seal and the vertical spacer.

14. The glazed element according to claim 1 , further comprising a primer layer positioned between the seal and the glass sheet and between the seal and the vertical spacer.

15. The glazed element according to claim 1 , wherein the glazing has a heat transfer coefficient ranging from 0.3 to 1.8.

16. A refrigerated chamber cabinet comprising at least one glazed element according to claim 1 .

17. A building window comprising at least one glazed element according to claim 1 .
