ABSTRACT:
A glass insulating sealed unit suitable for capless or stopless glazing comprising two spaced-apart glass plates and spacers to separate and join the glass plates arranged about the entire periphery of the plates and between the plates. The spacers are adapted for connection of the unit to adjoining support members in order to support and fix the unit. The preferred spaces each comprise a generally channel-shaped member having its elongate recess open along the edge of the unit. Structural sealant on two opposite sides of each spacer bond each of said sides to the adjacent inside surface of a respective glass plate. An elongate strip of compound providing both dessicant and vapor seal extends between the glass plates and along inside surface of the spacer. Each spacer is preferably connected to a support member by means of flat clips evenly spaced along the spacer and threaded connectors extending through holes in said clips. Each clip has two flat ends with the thickness of each end being about equal to or less than the width of the recess formed by the spacer. The dual purpose compound can be a combination of butyl rubber and polyisolbutylene that adheres to the glass plates and is capable of continuing to adhere to either glass plate in the event the structural sealant fails.
