Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sealed double glazed stained glass unit.
  • DE-A-3029613 discloses a thermally insulated decorative glazing unit with strips of metal, wood or plastics foil framing decorative elements etched in or applied to one pane of the unit.
  • EP-A-0085732 discloses a simulated stained and leaded glass window constructed by sticking lead strips and coloured plastics sheets onto a glass or plastic pane. It has also been proposed to paint areas of the inside surface of one of the clear glass boundary sheets of a double glazed unit before completing the sealed unit but to even a relatively inexperienced eye plastics sheets and painted areas are seen to be substitutes for real stained glass.
  • a double glazed stained glass unit comprises first and second facing sheets of clear transparent material, a perimeter frame spacing the facing sheets apart and hermetically sealing the cavity, formed between the facing sheets, and located within the cavity a stained glass panel comprising an array of pieces of glass arranged with edge regions thereof adjacent and a framework of lead strips overlying said edge regions, the pieces of glass being supported directly against the inside of the first of the facing sheets with a gap between edge regions of adjacent glass pieces, is characterised in that the gap contains adhesive bonding the pieces to the first facing sheet, with a first framework of lead strips secured over each gap between the pieces of glass in the panel within the cavity and in that a second framework of lead strips is secured on the outside of the first facing sheet to overlie the gaps between the pieces of glass disposed within the cavity.
  • the facing sheets would be of clear glass but a glass-substitute material is not ruled out for either or both of these sheets.
  • An adhesive suitable for adhering the pieces of glass to the inside of the first facing sheet is pure silicone. If a different adhesive is used, it should be degassable to leave a non-volatile residue.
  • the first lead framework can be made from self-adhesive or T-section lead strip and the joins between the lengths of lead-strip that make up the first framework are preferably covered with an area of blow pipe melted solder.
  • the perimeter frame can be constructed from conventional British Standard approved materials.
  • Self adhesive lead strip can be used to make the second external framework, the joins between strips again preferably being covered with areas of melted solder.
  • any of the glasses used for a conventional stained glass panel can be incorporated in the cavity, thus opening the possibility of incorporating any available coloured/clear/obscured glasses into the unit.
  • a method of incorporating the different glasses of a leaded stained glass panel into a sealed double glazed unit comprising first and second transparent facing sheets hermetically sealed around their edges to leave a cavity between the sheets in which the panel is located, is characterised by securing edge regions of adjacent glasses of the stained glass panel together and to the first transparent facing sheet, via an adhesive-filled gap between adjacent glasses, locating a first frame of lead strips over the adjacent edge regions of the glasses so that a respective strip of the first frame overlies each gap, combining the facing sheets into a hermetically sealed double glazed unit in a manner known per se so that the stained glasses and first lead frame lie within the cavity between the facing sheets, and by adhering a second lead frame on the outer face of the first facing sheet to obscure the gaps between the edge regions of the adjacent glasses viewable through the first facing sheet.
  • the area of the stained glass panel may represent substantially the entire area of the sealed unit or may be located in the sealed unit with a perimeter of the facing sheets therearound.
  • both facing sheets are transparent and preferably are of glass.
  • the second facing sheet can be translucent or obscured glass in some applications.
  • T-shaped lead for the first frame enables an even more realistic double glazed stained glass window to be produced since the framework of T-shaped lead can be built up by cutting and soldering as the pattern of included glasses is assembled on a support in a manner very similar to that used for a conventional stained glass window.
  • the framework When the framework is complete, it and its included glasses can be inverted and adhesive applied to regions of the frame and glass (e.g. to corner regions in the gaps where lead strips meet) so that one facing sheet of the eventual double glazed unit can be pressed down onto the inverted stained glass unit to adhere it to the facing sheet.
  • the hermetically sealed double glazed unit can then be assembled exactly as described before.
  • a still further aspect of the invention relates to a first facing sheet which carries a stained glass unit and first framework this being set out in the following claim 8.
  • Figure 1 of the drawing shows two pieces of glass 1 and 2 which constitute part of a stained glass panel 3 resting on a rectangular sheet 4 of float glass.
  • An air-drying silicone adhesive is "gunned" into the gap 5 between the pieces 1 and 2 and the pieces are slid together on the sheet 4 to close the gap 5. This operation ensures that adhesive 6 fills the gap 5 and forms an upstand 6a overlying the gap on the upper surface of each piece 1 and 2 ( Figure 2).
  • the other pieces of glass, preferably all of similar thickness, required to complete the stained glass panel 3 are applied to the facing sheet 4 in a similar way until the pattern is completed.
  • the upstands 6a overlying each gap are sliced off flush with the upper surfaces of the glass pieces (e.g. using a razor blade) and narrow strips 7 of self-adhesive lead strip (e.g. 9.0 mm wide and 1.0 mm thick) are cut and stuck over each adhesive-filled gap. (Figure 3)
  • the joints between the strips 7 are then soldered (e.g. in the same way in which the lead spacer bars of a conventional stained glass panel 3 would be soldered) and the perimeter of the panel 3 is completed with edge strips 7a of lead which may be bent down to contact the sheet 4.
  • the panel 3 is now located in the cavity 8 of a conventionally produced double-glazed sealed unit using a dessicant-filled perimeter frame 9 spacing the sheet 4 from a further glass facing sheet 10.
  • a conventional edge-sealing mastic 11 and edge strip 12 completes the sealing of the unit.
  • the mastic 11 may be Bostic 3180 and the adhesive 6, Dow Corning 781.
  • FIG 6 shows, in cross-section part of a double glazed unit made by a modified method in which a framework 20 of T-shaped lead strips 21 (see Figure 5) is built up around pieces 22 of glass.
  • the upright of the T is as long as the glass pieces 22 are thick and is located in the gap between adjacent pieces 22.
  • the horizontal bar of the T overlies the edge regions of the pieces 22 and the lengths of lead strip 21 are blow-pipe soldered at 23 as the assembly proceeds on a flat supporting base 24 until the pattern is complete.
  • L-shaped edge pieces 25 of lead can be used to mark the outer boundary of the pattern of stained glass.
  • the base 24 and its supported pattern of glass pieces and lead framework is now inverted and a silicone adhesive (e.g. Dow Corning 781) is "gunned" onto the joints between the lead strips 21 and all around the outer boundary of the pattern.
  • a silicone adhesive e.g. Dow Corning 781
  • a sheet of plane transparent glass (26 - see Figure 6) onto the inverted pattern of glass and lead, secures the components together and provided the amount of adhesive applied at each location 23 and around the outer edges is not enough to spread beyond the limits of the horizontal bar of the T-shaped lead strips 21 or the L-shaped edge pieces 25, the adhesive will not be visible when the pattern of glass and lead is viewed through the sheet 26, in the hermetically sealed double glazed unit.
  • the sheet 26 is combined with a second sheet of glass 29, edge mastic 30 and dessicant filled framing strip 31 to form a hermetically sealed unit.
  • a second framework 27 of self-adhesive lead strips 28 is then applied on the exposed face of the sheet 26 to overlie the strips 21 and edge pieces 25 of the inner framework 20 to complete the double glazed unit.
