- the index I of a glazing panel constituting an insulating glass door according to the invention must be less than or equal to 25% and, preferably, less than or equal to 20%.
- translucent we include both completely transparent elements that allow to pass at least 1% of incident light, but without transmitting distinctly the image of objects beyond.
- non-translucent refers to elements that pass less than 1% of incident light and do not distinctly transmit the image of objects beyond.
- the translucent connection element designates any translucent part or joint whose function is to structurally connect, that is to say, by ensuring a sufficient resistance to the wind and other atmospheric conditions, two adjacent glazed panels while realizing a obstacle as small as possible to the passage of light.
- Sufficient strength means here a maintenance of the connection between the panels until a maximum deformation of the panels which corresponds to the breaking of at least one sheet of glass of a panel, so that the structure of the bay is preserved.
- Other atmospheric conditions are, for example, UV radiation, snow, rain, humidity, temperature.
- the connection element of the bay window is a structuring junction means chosen from a translucent mastic such as translucent silicone, translucent modified silicone (MS-Polymer), translucent polyurethane (PU), translucent hybrid sealant comprising silicone and polyurethane, translucent translucent acrylic or epoxy translucent adhesive, polyvinyl butyral (PVB) type translucent organic sheet, polyurethane (TPU), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, ionomer or combination of two or more of these compounds.

- the translucent connecting element with a structuring function is a beam consisting of an elongate profile made of a material chosen from rigid and flexible translucent materials or a combination of these two materials.
- materials that may be suitable for producing a beam according to the invention are: glass and a translucent organic resin comprising polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), polychloride vinyl (PVC), an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS), a polyamide such as nylon or a combination of at least two of these resins.
- materials that may be suitable for producing a beam according to the invention are PMMA, PC, PET. Even more preferably, the materials that may be suitable for producing a beam according to the invention are PMMA and PC because of their high transparency and ease of use.
- a laminated glass comprising at least one translucent organic sheet for attachment to the glass.
- An example of such a suitable organic sheet is a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sheet.
- each panel may advantageously be structurally connected to the beam by via translucent connection means.
- connection means are chosen, according to the invention, from a translucent mastic such as translucent silicone, translucent modified silicone (MS-Polymer), translucent polyurethane (PU), translucent hybrid mastic comprising silicone and polyurethane, translucent acrylic or translucent epoxy adhesive, polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyurethane (TPU), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ionomer or a combination of two or more of these compounds.
- the translucent connection means are chosen from translucent silicone, translucent modified silicone (MS-Polymer), translucent polyurethane (PU), translucent hybrid mastic comprising silicone and polyurethane, and acrylic translucent adhesive. or translucent epoxy or a combination of two or more of these compounds.
- the connection means are chosen from a translucent acrylic type adhesive or a translucent silicone or the combination of these two compounds.
- At least one translucent connection element with structuring function is reinforced by a translucent bracing connected to this connection element, the bracing being located on one side of the bay, which is an interior side of the building.
- the translucent bracing may consist of at least one piece of glass, laminated or not, or at least one piece of rigid plastic material arranged perpendicularly to the plane of the surface of the panels, or at least one assembly of at least a glass piece with at least one piece of plastic material.

Nevertheless, any other application requiring such large windows with high thermal insulation properties and sufficient resistance to wind and other atmospheric conditions is also part of the invention.
On connaît déjà les grandes baies vitrées équipant les salles d'exposition et les halls des bâtiments publics et commerciaux. Dans certains cas, comme par exemple dans le cas de showrooms de concessionnaires automobile, ces baies sont généralement formées par la juxtaposition de grandes feuilles de verre séparées par des éléments de connexion plus ou moins apparents et peuvent occuper jusqu'à l'espace complet d'un ou même plusieurs des murs d'un bâtiment. De telles baies vitrées permettent une bonne visibilité des voitures exposées. Toutefois, dans les pays où les hivers sont froids, cela pose le problème difficile de la déperdition thermique importante liée aux propriétés de conduction thermique globale élevée de grandes surfaces de verre.

Par baie vitrée, on entend désigner une surface vitrée occupant la totalité d'une ouverture pratiquée dans un mur ou un toit d'un bâtiment. Une telle baie ne possède pas d'ouverture vers l'atmosphère extérieure au bâtiment et est constituée de plusieurs panneaux vitrés assemblés les uns aux autres. La dite baie vitrée est de caractère fixe et non ouvrante.Bay window means a glazed surface occupying the entire opening in a wall or roof of a building.

Par baie vitrée isolante, on désigne une baie vitrée limitant les échanges thermiques avec l'atmosphère extérieure au bâtiment de manière sensiblement plus importante que ne le ferait une baie classique actuelle dotée de simples vitrages.By insulating bay window, a bay window is defined limiting heat exchanges with the atmosphere outside the building significantly more than would a conventional bay today with simple glazing.
Pour fixer les idées, un panneau vitré composant une baie selon l'invention, présente un coefficient d'isolation thermique Ug allant de 0,3 à 1,8, de préférence de 0,6 à 1,4 et de manière la plus préférée de 1,0 à 1,4 W/m2. Le coefficient d'isolation thermique Ug correspond à la quantité de chaleur que laisse passer le panneau vitré composant la baie selon l'invention.For the sake of clarity, a glazing panel comprising a bay according to the invention has a thermal insulation coefficient Ug ranging from 0.3 to 1.8, preferably from 0.6 to 1.4, and most preferably from 1.0 to 1.4 W / m 2 . The coefficient of thermal insulation Ug corresponds to the amount of heat that passes the glass panel component bay according to the invention.
La baie vitrée conforme à l'invention comprend au moins deux panneaux vitrés, c'est-à-dire deux éléments en verre, de surface plane ou courbe qui sont assemblés pour constituer la baie. Les surfaces planes de panneaux sont préférées. Souvent, la baie comprend plus de deux panneaux disposés côte à côte sur une ou plusieurs rangées. La forme de ces panneaux est le plus souvent carrée ou rectangulaire, mais peut aussi prendre toute autre forme comprenant un nombre quelconque d'arêtes droites et/ou courbes.The window according to the invention comprises at least two glazed panels, that is to say two glass elements, flat or curved surface that are assembled to form the bay. Flat surfaces of panels are preferred. Often, the bay has more than two panels arranged side by side in one or more rows. The shape of these panels is most often square or rectangular, but can also take any other form including any number of straight edges and / or curves.
Selon l'invention, chaque panneau vitré est un vitrage multiple qui comprend plusieurs feuilles de verre. Ces feuilles de verre présentent une épaisseur allant de 0,5 mm à 15 mm (par exemple des feuilles de verre sodo-silico-calcique de 4 ou de 8 mm d'épaisseur) associées par l'intermédiaire d'un cadre intercalaire qui les maintient à une certaine distance l'une de l'autre. Le plus souvent, la baie conforme à l'invention comprend au moins un vitrage double ou triple. Chaque panneau renferme au moins un espace fermé entre les feuilles de verre. Selon l'invention, les feuilles de verre peuvent être de tailles différentes.According to the invention, each glazing panel is a multiple glazing unit which comprises a plurality of glass sheets. These glass sheets have a thickness ranging from 0.5 mm to 15 mm (for example sheets of soda-silico-
Selon l'invention, chaque panneau vitré comporte aussi au moins un joint de scellement translucide. Ce joint de scellement est disposé au moins le long du bord du panneau qui se raccorde avec un panneau vitré adjacent. De préférence, chaque panneau vitré comprend un joint de scellement composite constitué de plusieurs joints élémentaires disposés dans la périphérie d'espaceur(s) de manière à optimiser à la fois la rigidité du panneau et son étanchéité aux gaz et à l'humidité. Le plus souvent, chaque panneau vitré comprend deux joints élémentaires : le premier, le joint d'accrochage, ayant pour but d'accrocher de manière rigide l'espaceur avec les deux feuilles de verre et le deuxième, le joint d'étanchéité, ayant pour but de parfaire l'étanchéité aux gaz et à l'humidité.According to the invention, each glazed panel also comprises at least one translucent seal. This seal is disposed at least along the edge of the panel which connects with an adjacent glazed panel. Preferably, each glazing panel comprises a composite seal composed of a plurality of elementary seals disposed in the spacer periphery (s) so as to optimize both the rigidity of the panel and its gas and moisture tightness. Most often, each glazed panel comprises two elementary joints: the first, the attachment seal, intended to rigidly hook the spacer with the two sheets of glass and the second, the seal, having for the purpose of perfect sealing gas and moisture.
Selon une forme de réalisation de la baie selon l'invention, tous les joints de scellement de chaque panneau de vitrage multiple sont translucides.According to one embodiment of the bay according to the invention, all the sealing joints of each multiple glazing panel are translucent.
Des exemples de matériaux employés pour ces joints de scellement sont :
- pour le joint d'accrochage : un mastic translucide de type silicone translucide, silicone modifié translucide (MS-Polymer), polyuréthane translucide (PU), un mastic hybride translucide comprenant du silicone et du polyuréthane, un adhésif translucide de type acrylique ou époxy translucides, une feuille organique translucide d'accrochage au verre de type polyvinylbutyral (PVB), polyuréthane (TPU), copolymère éthylène-acétate de vinyle (EVA), ionomère ou une association de deux ou plus de ces composés.
- pour le joint d'étanchéité : un mastic translucide de type butyle et polyisobutylène translucides, un mastic de base caoutchouc synthétique translucide, un adhésif translucide de type acrylique ou époxy translucides, un film organique translucide à base de résine polyester ou polyuréthane recouvert d'au moins une couche translucide de métal ou d'oxyde de métal, et une feuille organique translucide d'accrochage au verre de type polyvinylbutyral (PVB), polyuréthane (TPU), copolymère éthylène-acétate de vinyle (EVA), ionomère ou une association de deux ou plus de ces composés.
- for the bonding joint: a translucent sealant of the translucent silicone type, translucent modified silicone (MS-Polymer), translucent polyurethane (PU), a translucent hybrid sealant comprising silicone and polyurethane, a translucent acrylic or epoxy type adhesive translucent, translucent polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyurethane (TPU), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) type glass bonding sheet, ionomer or a combination of two or more of these compounds.
- for the seal: Translucent translucent butyl and polyisobutylene translucent sealant, translucent synthetic rubber base sealant, translucent translucent acrylic or epoxy translucent adhesive, translucent organic film based on polyester or polyurethane resin coated with minus a translucent layer of metal or metal oxide, and a translucent organic polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyurethane (TPU), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, ionomer, or two or more of these compounds.
Pour fixer les idées, l'étanchéité au gaz se fait selon la méthode décrite dans la norme EN1279-3. Ainsi, la fuite de gaz d'un panneau vitré composant une baie vitrée isolante selon l'invention ne dépasse pas 3%/an et, de préférence, pas 1%/an.For the sake of clarity, the gastightness is done according to the method described in EN1279-3. Thus, the gas leakage of a glazing panel constituting an insulating bay window according to the invention does not exceed 3% / year and preferably not 1% / year.
L'étanchéité à l'humidité, quant à elle, se caractérise par la mesure de l'indice I selon la norme EN1279-2. L'indice I d'un panneau vitré composant une baie vitrée isolante selon l'invention doit être inférieur ou égal à 25% et, de préférence, inférieur ou égal à 20%.As for moisture-proofing, it is characterized by the measurement of the index I according to EN1279-2. The index I of a glazing panel constituting an insulating glass door according to the invention must be less than or equal to 25% and, preferably, less than or equal to 20%.
Par ailleurs, pour convenir comme panneau dans une baie vitrée selon l'invention, il est nécessaire que leur espaceur ou leurs espaceurs situé(s) dans la proximité des bords de ces panneaux destinés à être rapprochés et assemblés dans la baie soi(en)t aussi translucide(s).Furthermore, to be suitable as a panel in a bay window according to the invention, it is necessary that their spacer or their spacers located (s) in the vicinity of the edges of these panels intended to be brought together and assembled in the bay itself (in) t also translucent (s).
Par le vocable « translucide » on englobe aussi bien les éléments complètement transparents que ceux qui laissent passer au moins 1% de lumière incidente, sans toutefois transmettre distinctement l'image des objets situés au-delà. Le vocable « non translucide » se réfère à des éléments qui laissent passer moins de 1% de lumière incidente et qui ne transmettent pas distinctement l'image des objets situés au-delà. Selon l'invention, dans chaque paire de panneaux vitrés adjacents, les panneaux sont reliés l'un à l'autre par au moins un élément de connexion translucide à fonction structurante. L'élément de connexion translucide désigne toute pièce ou joint translucides dont la fonction est de connecter de manière structurante, c'est - à-dire en assurant une résistance suffisante au vent et aux autres conditions atmosphériques, deux panneaux vitrés adjacents tout en réalisant un obstacle aussi minime que possible au passage de la lumière. Résistance suffisante signifie ici un maintien de la connexion entre les panneaux jusqu'à une déformation maximale des panneaux qui correspond à la rupture d'au moins une feuille de verre d'un panneau, de telle sorte que la structure de la baie soit préservée. Les autres conditions atmosphériques sont par exemple, le rayonnement UV, la neige, la pluie, l'humidité, la température.By the term "translucent" we include both completely transparent elements that allow to pass at least 1% of incident light, but without transmitting distinctly the image of objects beyond. The term "non-translucent" refers to elements that pass less than 1% of incident light and do not distinctly transmit the image of objects beyond. According to the invention, in each pair of adjacent glazed panels, the panels are connected to one another by at least one translucent connection element with structuring function. The translucent connection element designates any translucent part or joint whose function is to structurally connect, that is to say, by ensuring a sufficient resistance to the wind and other atmospheric conditions, two adjacent glazed panels while realizing a obstacle as small as possible to the passage of light. Sufficient strength means here a maintenance of the connection between the panels until a maximum deformation of the panels which corresponds to the breaking of at least one sheet of glass of a panel, so that the structure of the bay is preserved. Other atmospheric conditions are, for example, UV radiation, snow, rain, humidity, temperature.

Selon les deux modes de réalisation de la baie conforme à l'invention, au moins un élément de connexion translucide à fonction structurante est renforcé par un contreventement translucide relié à cet élément de connexion, le contreventement étant situé sur un côté de la baie, qui est un côté intérieur du bâtiment. Le contreventement translucide peut être constitué d'au moins une pièce en verre, feuilleté ou non, ou d'au moins une pièce en matière plastique rigide disposée perpendiculairement au plan de la surface des panneaux, ou encore d'un assemblage d'au moins une pièce en verre avec au moins une pièce en matière plastique. De manière préférée, le contreventement est relié à l'élément de connexion translucide reliant deux panneaux vitrés au moyen des mêmes moyens de connexion que ceux qui conviennent pour relier la poutre de manière structurante aux panneaux vitrés évoqués ci-dessus.According to the two embodiments of the bay according to the invention, at least one translucent connection element with structuring function is reinforced by a translucent bracing connected to this connection element, the bracing being located on one side of the bay, which is an interior side of the building. The translucent bracing may consist of at least one piece of glass, laminated or not, or at least one piece of rigid plastic material arranged perpendicularly to the plane of the surface of the panels, or at least one assembly of at least a glass piece with at least one piece of plastic material. Preferably, the bracing is connected to the translucent connecting element connecting two glazed panels by means of the same connecting means as those which are suitable for connecting the beam structurally to the glazed panels mentioned above.
La baie conforme à l'invention comprend au moins un panneau vitré qui comprend au moins un espace fermé entre une paire de feuilles de verre adjacentes qui est rempli par un gaz sec. De préférence, tous les panneaux vitrés de la baie comprennent au moins un espace fermé rempli d'un gaz sec. De manière plus préférée encore, chaque espace fermé de chaque panneau est rempli par un gaz sec. Si les panneaux vitrés sont des triples vitrages, par exemple, ils comprennent chacun deux espaces fermés qui sont tous les deux remplis par un gaz sec. Les gaz secs qui conviennent bien sont sélectionnés parmi l'air, l'azote, l'argon, le xénon, le krypton et un mélange d'au moins deux de ces gaz. Le même gaz sec peut remplir tous les espaces fermés d'un panneau particulier. Le même gaz sec peut aussi remplir tous les espaces fermés de tous les panneaux. Alternativement, on peut utiliser des gaz secs différents pour remplir les différents espaces fermés d'un même panneau/de tous les panneaux.The rack according to the invention comprises at least one glazed panel which comprises at least one closed space between a pair of adjacent glass sheets which is filled with a dry gas. Preferably, all the glazed panels of the bay comprise at least one closed space filled with a dry gas. More preferably, each closed space of each panel is filled with a dry gas. If the glazed panels are triple glazings, for example, they each comprise two closed spaces which are both filled with a dry gas. Suitable dry gases are selected from air, nitrogen, argon, xenon, krypton and a mixture of at least two of these gases. The same dry gas can fill all the closed spaces of a particular panel. The same dry gas can also fill all closed spaces of all panels. Alternatively, different dry gases can be used to fill the different closed spaces of the same panel / of all the panels.
Le plus souvent, dans une baie vitrée isolante conforme à l'invention, les panneaux vitrés sont plans et parallèles à un plan vertical et l'élément de connexion de ces panneaux avec les panneaux adjacents est vertical aussi. Dans certains cas, les panneaux peuvent se trouver inclinés dans la baie qui fait alors office de toit. L'inclinaison maximum correspond à une position parallèle à un plan horizontal. Dans ces derniers cas, l'élément de connexion forme un certain angle avec une ligne verticale passant par un point situé à l'extrémité supérieure de l'élément de connexion. Cet angle reste inférieur à 90° pour des panneaux inclinés et atteint 90° dans le cas d'un panneau horizontal.Most often, in an insulating glass door according to the invention, the glazed panels are flat and parallel to a vertical plane and the connection element of these panels with the adjacent panels is vertical too. In some cases, the panels may be inclined in the bay which then serves as roof. The maximum inclination corresponds to a position parallel to a horizontal plane. In these latter cases, the connection element forms a certain angle with a vertical line passing through a point at the upper end of the connection element. This angle remains less than 90 ° for inclined panels and reaches 90 ° in the case of a horizontal panel.
Selon l'invention, chaque panneau vitré est un vitrage multiple comprenant au moins une première et une seconde feuilles de verre associées ensemble par l'intermédiaire d'un cadre intercalaire qui les maintient à une certaine distance l'une de l'autre.According to the invention, each glazing panel is a multiple glazing unit comprising at least a first and a second glass sheet associated together via an intermediate frame which keeps them at a distance from one another.
Par cadre intercalaire, on désigne un élément rigide, disposé entre les feuilles de verre à proximité de la périphérie de celles-ci et qui les maintient à une certaine distance l'une de l'autre.Interleaf frame means a rigid element disposed between the glass sheets near the periphery thereof and which keeps them at a distance from one another.
Le cadre intercalaire comprend au moins un espaceur vertical en résine organique translucide et au moins deux espaceurs horizontaux composés chacun d'un profilé comprenant au moins une pièce de solidarisation, lesdits espaceurs étant reliés entre eux pour former ledit cadre.The intermediate frame comprises at least one vertical spacer in translucent organic resin and at least two horizontal spacers each composed of a profile comprising at least one joining piece, said spacers being interconnected to form said frame.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, les espaceurs horizontaux sont composés chacun d'un profilé en matériau non translucide et comprenant au moins une pièce de solidarisation.According to a preferred embodiment, the horizontal spacers are each composed of a profile of non-translucent material and comprising at least one joining piece.
Par pièce de solidarisation, de manière connue, il faut comprendre une pièce permettant la fixation d'un premier élément à au moins un deuxième élément. La dite pièce de solidarisation étant par exemple une pression, une colle, une cheville, une vis de type vis en acier, en acier zingué, en acier inox ou en bronze, ou tout autre moyen assurant la liaison entre lesdits éléments à assembler. Un autre exemple de pièce de solidarisation est une pastille butyle éventuellement associée à une vis.By securing piece, in known manner, it is necessary to understand a part for fixing a first element to at least a second element. Said fastening piece being for example a pressure, an adhesive, an anchor, a screw type screw steel, zinc-plated steel, stainless steel or bronze, or any other means ensuring the connection between said elements to be assembled. Another example of a joining piece is a butyl pellet possibly associated with a screw.
On entend par là que la pièce de solidarisation est une pièce permettant la fixation d'au moins un espaceur vertical à au moins un espaceur horizontal.By this is meant that the fastening piece is a part allowing the attachment of at least one vertical spacer to at least one horizontal spacer.
Une deuxième fonction de la pièce de solidarisation est de garantir l'étanchéité à l'humidité et au gaz de chaque panneau vitré.A second function of the securing piece is to ensure the moisture and gas tightness of each glass panel.
Par les adjectifs verticaux et horizontaux, on entend désigner des emplacements proches de bords opposés, c'est-à-dire de bords non contigus du cadre et/ou du vitrage et qui se font face.By the vertical and horizontal adjectives, it is meant locations close to opposite edges, that is to say non-contiguous edges of the frame and / or glazing and facing each other.
Un exemple de cadre intercalaire qui convient est décrit en détails dans les demandes de brevet au nom d'AGC Glass Europe portant les numéros de dépôt
Selon un premier mode de réalisation particulier, un premier joint élémentaire translucide de type acrylique, butyle, silicone est déposé à chaque interface espaceur translucide/feuille de verre. Un deuxième joint élémentaire de type butyl, acrylique ou silicone et de nature différente du premier joint élémentaire, est déposé de manière adjacente au premier joint et à chaque interface espaceur translucide/feuille de verre. Cette option permet de garantir l'étanchéité au gaz et à l'humidité du panneau vitré en concentrant les joints sur une même interface, et garantir une transmission lumineuse maximale de l'espaceur translucide sur les bords verticaux du panneau vitré. Ce mode de réalisation permet de relier des panneaux vitrés comprenant des feuilles de verre décalées et dont l'assemblage bord à bord dans une baie selon l'invention se fait via chaque verre décalé des panneaux.According to a first particular embodiment, a first translucent elementary seal of acrylic, butyl, silicone type is deposited at each translucent spacer / glass sheet interface. A second elementary butyl, acrylic or silicone type gasket of a different nature than the first elementary gasket is deposited adjacent to the first gasket and to each translucent spacer / glass sheet interface. This option ensures the gas and moisture tightness of the glass panel by concentrating the joints on the same interface, and ensuring maximum light transmission of the translucent spacer to the vertical edges of the glass panel. This embodiment makes it possible to connect glazed panels comprising staggered glass sheets and whose assembly edge to edge in a bay according to the invention is made via each offset glass of the panels.
De manière préférée, dans ce premier mode de réalisation, les bords verticaux des panneaux vitrés composant la baie selon l'invention, sont associés par un élément de connexion translucide de type silicone, silicone modifié ou polyurethane. On désigne ici les bords verticaux de deux panneaux vitrés contigus de la baie. Cet élément de connexion joue également un rôle de joint de scellement supplémentaire au panneau vitré.Preferably, in this first embodiment, the vertical edges of the glass panels making up the bay according to the invention are associated with a translucent connection element of silicone, modified silicone or polyurethane type. Here are meant the vertical edges of two adjacent glazed panels of the bay. This connection element also acts as an additional sealing joint to the glazed panel.
Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation particulier, un premier joint élémentaire translucide de type acrylique, butyle, silicone est déposé à chaque interface espaceur translucide/feuille de verre. Un film translucide de type polyester ou polyuréthane recouvert d'une couche translucide métallique est appliqué sur la tranche de l'espaceur translucide de manière à recouvrir également les bords extérieurs du premier joint élémentaire et joue le rôle de deuxième joint élémentaire. Par couche translucide métallique, on entend désigner une couche translucide composée d'au moins un matériau métallique qui peut être un métal pur, un alliage de métaux purs ou un matériau métallique tel qu'un oxyde métallique ou un sulfure métallique. Cette solution particulière garantit en outre une translucidité maximale sur les bords de chaque panneau vitré de la baie.According to a second particular embodiment, a first translucent elementary seal of acrylic, butyl, silicone type is deposited at each translucent spacer / glass sheet interface. A translucent film of polyester or polyurethane type coated with a translucent metal layer is applied to the edge of the translucent spacer so as to also cover the outer edges of the first elementary seal and acts as a second elementary seal. By translucent metal layer is meant a translucent layer composed of at least one material metal which may be a pure metal, a pure metal alloy or a metallic material such as a metal oxide or a metal sulfide. This particular solution also ensures maximum translucency at the edges of each glass panel in the bay.
Les bords verticaux des panneaux vitrés composant la baie selon ce deuxième mode de réalisation particulier, sont associés par un élément de connexion translucide de type silicone, silicone modifié ou polyurethane. On désigne également ici les bords verticaux de deux panneaux vitrés contigus de la baie. Préférentiellement, cet élément de connexion joue également un rôle de joint de scellement supplémentaire au panneau vitré.The vertical edges of the glass panels making up the bay according to this second particular embodiment are associated with a translucent connection element of silicone, modified silicone or polyurethane type. Also referred to here are the vertical edges of two adjacent glazed panels of the bay. Preferably, this connection element also acts as an additional sealing joint to the glazed panel.
Selon un troisième mode de réalisation particulier, un premier joint élémentaire translucide, de type PVB, polyuréthane (TPU), EVA ou ionomère pouvant nécessiter un cycle d'étuvage en atmosphère contrôlée, est déposé à chaque interface espaceur translucide/feuille de verre. Afin d'augmenter l'étanchéité du vitrage, un film translucide de type polyester ou polyuréthane recouvert d'une couche translucide métallique peut être appliqué sur la tranche de l'espaceur translucide recouvrant également les bords extérieurs du premier joint élémentaire et jouant le rôle de deuxième joint élémentaire. La couche métallique a la même signification que dans le deuxième mode de réalisation. Cette solution particulière garantit en outre une translucidité maximale sur les bords de chaque panneau vitré de la baie.According to a third particular embodiment, a first translucent elementary seal, of the PVB, polyurethane (TPU), EVA or ionomer type that may require a controlled atmosphere bake cycle, is deposited at each translucent spacer / glass sheet interface. In order to increase the tightness of the glazing, a translucent film of polyester or polyurethane type covered with a translucent metallic layer may be applied to the edge of the translucent spacer also covering the outer edges of the first elementary seal and acting as a second elementary seal. The metal layer has the same meaning as in the second embodiment. This particular solution also ensures maximum translucency at the edges of each glass panel in the bay.
Dans ce troisième mode de réalisation aussi, lorsque deux panneaux vitrés sont collés bord à bord, les bords verticaux des panneaux vitrés composant la baie, sont associés par un élément de connexion translucide de type silicone, silicone modifié ou polyurethane.

Préférentiellement, cet élément de connexion joue également un rôle de joint de scellement supplémentaire au panneau vitré.In this third embodiment also, when two glazed panels are glued edge to edge, the vertical edges of the glass panels making up the bay, are associated by a translucent connection element of silicone type, modified silicone or polyurethane. Also referred to here are the vertical edges of two adjacent glazed panels of the bay. Preferably, this connection element also acts as an additional sealing joint to the glazed panel.
Selon un quatrième mode de réalisation particulier, un premier joint élémentaire translucide, de type acrylique, butyle, silicone est déposé à chaque interface espaceur translucide/feuille de verre. Un deuxième joint élémentaire de type butyle, acrylique ou silicone et de nature différente du premier joint élémentaire, est déposé sur la tranche de l'espaceur translucide de manière à recouvrir également les bords extérieurs du premier joint élémentaire. Comme les précédents, ce mode de réalisation permet de relier des panneaux vitrés comprenant des feuilles de verre décalées et dont l'assemblage bord à bord dans une baie selon l'invention se fait via chaque verre décalé des panneaux.According to a fourth particular embodiment, a first translucent elementary seal, of acrylic, butyl, silicone type is deposited at each translucent spacer / glass sheet interface. A second elementary seal of butyl type, acrylic or silicone and different in nature from the first elementary seal, is deposited on the edge of the translucent spacer so as to also cover the outer edges of the first elementary seal. Like the previous ones, this embodiment makes it possible to connect glass panels comprising staggered glass sheets and whose assembly edge to edge in a bay according to the invention is made via each offset glass of the panels.

Here are meant the vertical edges of two adjacent glazed panels of the bay. This connection element also acts as an additional sealing joint to the glazed panel.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation de la baie selon l'invention, au moins une feuille de verre de chaque panneau vitré est revêtue d'une couche de métal ou d'oxyde métallique qui permet d'améliorer les performances d'isolation thermique et/ou de contrôle solaire du panneau vitré. On peut y retrouver, par exemple une couche basse émissive déposée par toute technique adaptée bien connue par elle-même.According to another embodiment of the bay according to the invention, at least one glass sheet of each glazed panel is coated with a layer of metal or metal oxide which improves the thermal insulation performance and / or or solar control of the glass panel. It can be found, for example a low emissive layer deposited by any suitable technique well known by itself.

Durant cette étape de pressage, un gaz isolant, (argon), a été inséré dans le vitrage double en proportion d'au moins 85% en volume et 15% en air sec. Tout phénomène bullage à l'interface polyisobutylène (6)/feuille de verre (11), (14) a été soigneusement évité. Les bords horizontaux du vitrage double ont ensuite été englués d'un mastic silicone (9) de marque Dow Corning DC® 3362 (
Les deux panneaux vitrés (12) constitutifs de la baie vitrée isolante ont ensuite été joints et solidarisés par un tape acrylique VHB 4918 (7bis) ainsi que par un silicone translucide (7 ter) Sikaflex® de la firme Sika (
Pour caractériser les performances d'adhésion de l'adhésif acrylique structurant 3M VHB 4918, on a réalisé un test de traction suivant la méthode décrite dans la norme EN1279-4. Ce type d'adhésif acrylique structurant résiste aux conditions atmosphériques comme démontré dans le tableau ci-dessous :
On a réalisé les échantillons à partir de deux plaquettes rectangulaires de verre float silico-sodo-calcique de 4 mm d'épaisseur et de dimensions 65 mm x 25 mm. Un des deux verres a au préalable été enduit d'une couche basse-émissive TopN+T. On a d'abord nettoyé les surfaces de verre à coller au moyen d'isopropanol, puis on a appliqué une bande de tape de 25 x 10 mm transversalement à une des feuilles de verre de manière à couvrir toute la largeur de la feuille en position centrale de celle-ci tout en évitant soigneusement la formation et le piégeage de toute bulle d'air entre le tape et la feuille de verre. La deuxième feuille de verre a ensuite été collée en sa position centrale sur l'autre face du tape déjà collé sur la première feuille de verre de manière à ce que les feuilles de verre forment entre elles un angle de 90°.Samples were made from two rectangular plates of soda-lime float glass, 4 mm thick and 65 mm x 25 mm in size. One of the two glasses was previously coated with a TopN + T low-emissive layer. The glass surfaces to be bonded were first cleaned with isopropanol, then a 25 x 10 mm tape was applied transversely to one of the glass sheets to cover the entire width of the sheet in position. central of it while carefully avoiding the formation and entrapment of any air bubble between the tape and the sheet of glass. The second glass sheet was then glued in its central position on the other side of the tape already adhered to the first sheet of glass so that the glass sheets form an angle of 90 ° between them.
Le test de traction réalisé sur les échantillons consiste à mettre en traction les deux feuilles de verre de chaque échantillon. La traction est exercée dans une direction perpendiculaire à la surface de chacune des 2 feuilles de verre sous atmosphère de 25 °C et 50 % RH. On a mesuré la force de traction nécessaire à appliquer aux feuilles de verre pour provoquer l'arrachement et la séparation complète des deux feuilles. Le test est réalisé sur les échantillons initiaux ainsi que sur les échantillons après exposition à la chaleur, après immersion dans l'eau et après exposition aux UV.The tensile test performed on the samples consists of pulling the two sheets of glass of each sample. The traction is exerted in a direction perpendicular to the surface of each of the two sheets of glass under an atmosphere of 25 ° C. and 50% RH. The tensile force required to apply to the glass sheets was measured to cause tearing and complete separation of the two sheets. The test is performed on the initial samples as well as on the samples after exposure to heat, after immersion in water and after UV exposure.
Dans tous les cas, la rupture a été de type cohésive à l'intérieur du matériau du tape. La rupture cohésive à l'intérieur du tape reflète une bonne qualité d'accrochage. L'ensemble de ces résultats montre que la performance d'adhésion de l'adhésif acrylique structurant répond aux exigences de la norme EN1279-4 et prouve son caractère structurant.In all cases, the rupture was of cohesive type inside the material of the tape. The cohesive rupture inside the tape reflects a good quality of attachment. All these results show that the adhesion performance of the structuring acrylic adhesive meets the requirements of the EN1279-4 standard and proves its structuring character.
