Abstract
A spacer for an insulating glazing unit, the spacer including a longitudinal body including two longitudinal sides and two membranes or membrane parts, each membrane or membrane part configured to be secured to a glass sheet of the insulating glazing unit, and each membrane or membrane part configured to be articulated to the body about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body between a position in which the membrane or membrane part lies against a longitudinal side of the body and a position in which the membrane or membrane part is at least partially moved apart from the longitudinal side of the body. The spacer allows the size of the insulating glazing unit not to be restricted while ensuring a bead for example of butyl of the insulating glazing unit can withstand high climatic loads without being damaged.
