Abstract

An edge seal gasket assembly for use in a multi-glazed window or door. The edge seal gasket assembly having a flange gasket fitted into the inset spacer between the separated panes of glass and embedded by a sealant compound on either side of the flange gasket. The flange gasket extending outward from between the panes to provide an edge seal gasket for sealing engagement with the sides of the insulated casing or another edge gasket.

Claims

1. In combination an edge seal gasket assembly and a pair of spaced panes forming a multiple glazed door or window unit comprising:

spacer means located between said panes for separating said panes, said spacer means being inset from corresponding edges of said panes to define a cavity between said spacer means and said pane edges,

a resilient gasket means having a first part within said cavity and a second part extending outwardly from said cavity, and

sealant means filling said cavity around said gasket means first part for sealing said panes together and securing said gasket means within the cavity.

2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said gasket means engages said spacer means.

3. In combination an edge seal gasket assembly and a pair of spaced panes forming a multiple glazed door or window unit comprising:

spacer means located between said panes for separating said panes, said spacer means being inset from corresponding edges of said panes to define a cavity between the spacer means and said pane edges, gasket means having a first part within said cavity and a second part extending outwardly from said cavity, sealant means filling said cavity around said gasket means first part for sealing said panes together and securing said gasket means within the cavity, said gasket means engaging said spacer means, said spacer means including channel defining parts, said gasket means first part fitted into said channel defining parts.

4. The combination of claim 3 wherein said channel defining parts include opposed in-turned ridges,

said gasket means first part including a neck,

said in-turned ridges fitting into said neck whereby said gasket means is interlocked within said spacer means.

5. In combination an edge seal gasket assembly and a pair of spaced panes forming a multiple glazed door or window unit comprising:

spacer means located between said panes for separating said panes, said spacer means being inset from corresponding edges of said panes to define a cavity between the spacer means and said pane edges, gasket means having a first part within said cavity and a second part extending outwardly from said cavity, sealant means filling said cavity around said gasket means first part for sealing said panes together and securing said gasket means within the cavity, said gasket means engaging said spacer means, and a connection part, said connection part abutting said spacer means within said cavity, said connection part including channel defining parts, said gasket means first part fitted into said channel defining parts.
