Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An insulating glazing unit has at least two glass panes and a circumferential spacer profile between them near their edges, for use in a window, a door, or a façade glazing, and which has in each case a frame, in particular a metallic frame, surrounding the edges of the insulating glazing, wherein at least one RFID transponder is attached to the insulating glazing unit as an identification element, wherein the at least one transponder is arranged on an inner surface of one of the glass panes in the spaced region between the spacer profile and the edge of the glass pane.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An insulating glazing unit comprising at least two glass panes and a circumferential spacer profile between the at least two glass panes near their edges, for use in a window, a door, or a façade glazing, which has a frame surrounding the edges of the insulating glazing, wherein at least one RFID transponder is attached to the insulating glazing unit as an identification element, wherein the at least one RFID transponder is arranged on an inner surface of one glass pane of the at least two glass panes in a spaced region between the spacer profile and the edge of the glass pane, and wherein the at least one RFID transponder is electrically connected to a conductive spacer profile or to a conductive section of the conductive spacer profile such that the conductive spacer profile or the conductive section of the conductive spacer profile acts as an antenna of the at least one RFID transponder. 2. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one RFID transponder is arranged at a corner of the insulating glazing unit. 3. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one RFID transponder is arranged at a predetermined corner, which is specified based on a predetermined installation position of the insulating glazing unit in the frame. 4. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 2 , wherein a RFID transponder is arranged at each corner of the insulating glazing unit. 5. A window comprising the frame and the insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , the insulating glazing unit being inserted into the frame. 6. A door comprising the frame and the insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , the insulating glazing unit being inserted into the frame. 7. A façade glazing with a construction that comprises the frame and the insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , the insulating glazing unit being inserted into the frame. 8. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is a metallic frame.
