Abstract

An insulating glazing unit, includes at least two glass panes and a circumferential spacer profile between the at least two glass panes near edges of the at least two glass panes, for use in a window, a door, or a façade glazing, which has in each case an electrically conductive 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, and wherein the at least one RFID transponder is arranged at a corner of the insulating glazing unit, and wherein an end of the at least one RFID transponder pointing toward the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit is not more than 30 cm from the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit.

First claim

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 edges of the at least two glass panes, for use in a window, a door, or a facade glazing, which has in each case an electrically conductive 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 at a corner of the insulating glazing unit, and
wherein an end of the at least one RFID transponder pointing toward the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit that is formed by two separate side edges of the insulating glazing unit is not more than 30 cm from the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit.

2. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , 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 electrically conductive frame.

3. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein a RFID transponder of the at least one RFID transponder is arranged in each case at two diagonally opposite corners.

4. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein a RFID transponder of the at least one RFID transponder is arranged at each corner of the insulating glazing unit.

5. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one RFID transponder is applied to a boundary edge of one of the two glass panes.

6. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one RFID transponder is applied to an outer surface of the spacer profile.

7. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one RFID transponder is applied to an outer surface of one of the glass panes at the edge thereof.

8. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one RFID transponder is dimensioned and placed on the edge such that, in the mounted state of the window, of the door, or of the facade glazing, the at least one RFID transponder is completely covered by an upright rebate wall of the surrounding electrically conductive frame.

9. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein at a location of the at least one RFID transponder an identifying marking visible to the naked eye is applied on at least one of the at least two glass panes.

10. A window comprising the electrically conductive frame and the insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , the insulating glazing unit being inserted into the electrically conductive frame.

11. A door comprising the electrically conductive frame and insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , the insulating glazing unit being inserted into the electrically conductive frame.

12. A façcade glazing with a construction that comprises the electrically conductive frame and the insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , the insulating glazing unit being inserted into the electrically conductive frame.

13. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the end of the at least one RFID transponder pointing toward the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit is not more than 20 cm from the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit.

14. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 13 , wherein the end of the at least one RFID transponder pointing toward the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit is not more than 10 cm from the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit.

15. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 14 , wherein the end of the at least one RFID transponder pointing toward the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit is not more than 5 cm from the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit.

16. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein the end of the at least one RFID transponder pointing toward the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit is 5 to 30 cm away from the nearest corner of the insulating glazing unit.

17. The insulating glazing unit according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing profile is arranged between the two glass panes and extends from the circumferential spacer profile to the edges of the at least two glass panes to seal a space extending between the two glass panes and from the circumferential spacer profile to the edges of the at least two glass panes, and wherein at least a portion of the at least one RFID transponder is in contact with the sealing profile.
