1. A glass unit comprising:
- a glass pane having an outer periphery;
a transparent, electrically conductive film adjacent to the glass pane and having a continuous outer peripheral margin in proximity to the outer periphery of the pane, there being a space between the pane and the outer peripheral margin of the film;
a sealant in said space; and
electrically conductive wire cloth means coupled with the film and extending through the sealant for electrically connecting the film to ground, said wire cloth means being continuous and extending about and in electrically coupled relationship with said outer peripheral margin of the film.

Abstract
A glass unit having at least a pair of glass panes spaced from and on opposite sides of an electrically conductive transparent film in a taut condition. The glass panes are separated by a pair of spacer tubes between which the outer peripheral margin of the plastic film extends. A sealant covers the outer peripheries of the spacer tubes and spans the distance between the outer peripheries of the panes. An electrical lead electrically connected directly or through a wire cloth to the film couples the film to electrical ground. The glass unit is transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the 400 to 700 nm range but opaque to electromagnetic radiation in the range of 1010 to 104 nm.

2. A glass unit comprising:
-
a pair of glass panes; a pair of spacers between the glass panes to present an internal space between the panes; a transparent, electrically conductive film in the internal space in a taut condition, said film having a continuous outer peripheral margin between the spacers, said spacers being spaced from and in proximity to the outer peripheries of the panes to present an outer peripheral space; a sealant in the outer peripheral space; and elongated means extending through the sealant and along and in electrically coupled relationship with said outer peripheral margin of the film for electrically connecting the film to ground. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
