Patent Images
1. A glass assembly for a refrigerated display case, the glass assembly comprising:
- a first pane extending in a first direction and including a first edge;
a second pane substantially parallel with respect to the first pane and extending in the first direction, the second pane including a second edge and spaced a distance from the first pane along a second direction oriented substantially orthogonally to the first pane and the second pane to define a first space between the first pane and the second pane;
a first spacer positioned in the first space adjacent the first edge and the second edge;
a third pane substantially parallel with the first pane and the second pane and extending in the first direction, the third pane including a third edge and spaced a distance from the second pane along the second direction to define a second space between the second pane and the third pane; and
a second spacer positioned in the second space, the second spacer offset from the first spacer in the first direction such that the first spacer and the second spacer are not aligned with and do not overlap each other in the first direction.

7. A refrigerated display case comprising:
-
an insulated wall positioned to separate a low temperature interior of the refrigerated display case from the environment, the insulated wall including a perimeter wall having a recess; and a glass assembly at least partially supported by the perimeter wall between the low temperature interior of the refrigerated display case and the environment, the glass assembly including a first pane at least partially positioned within the recess, a second pane substantially parallel with respect to the first pane and at least partially positioned within the recess, the second pane spaced a distance from the first pane to define a first space, a third pane substantially parallel with respect to the first pane and the second pane, the third pane positioned outside of the recess to define a step in the glass assembly, the third pane not covered by any portion of the perimeter wall and spaced a distance from the second pane to define a second space, a first spacer positioned in the recess within the first space between the first pane and the second pane, and a second spacer positioned within the second space between the second pane and the third pane, wherein the second spacer is outside the recess and offset from the first spacer such that the first spacer and the second spacer are not aligned with and do not overlap each other. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
