Filed:

Jan 16, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/759644

Inventors:

Raymond Nalepka - Westland MI
Scott V. Thomsen - Milford MI
Ksenia A. Landa - Grosse lle MI
Leonid M Landa - Grosse lle MI

Assignee:

Guardian Industries Corp. - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

E06B 324

US Classification:

428 34, 156109, 5278613

Abstract:

A vacuum insulating glass (IG) unit and method of making the same. An edge seal of the vacuum IG unit includes at least one fiber (e. g. elongated glass fiber) provided at least partially between first and second opposing substrates in order to hermetically seal off a low pressure space between the substrates. A plurality of spacers are located between the substrates to space the substrates from one another and maintain the low pressure space therebetween.

Filed:

Jun 24, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/080787

Inventors:

Philip J. Lingle - Lambertville MI
Raymond Nalepka - Westland MI
Klaus W. Hartig - Brighton MI

Assignee:

Guardian Industries Corp. - Northville MI

International Classification:

C03C 2502

US Classification:

65 602

Abstract:

A heat treatable sputter-coated layer system for glass substrates may be applied before heat treatment if the layer system includes a metallic layer of nickel or a high nickel content alloy covered by a separate layer of metallic silicon or an oxide of nickel or the high nickel content alloy, which in turn is covered by a protective metal oxide such as stoichiometric Sn O. sub. 2.

US Classification:

428216

Abstract:

Filed:

Jul 24, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/077226

Inventors:

Raymond Nalepka - Westland MI
Russell Huffer - Owatonna MN

Assignee:

Guardian Industries Corporation - Northville MI

International Classification:

B32B 1504
B32B 1706

US Classification:

428623

Abstract:

A multi-layer of thin film for application to a transparent substrate such as glass provides excellent visible light transmission while controlling both near infra-red solar energy and far infra-red reflected energy. The film comprises a layer of sputtered zinc, tin, or bismuth oxide, a layer of sputtered silver or silver alloy, a layer of sputtered titanium or stainless steel and a final layer of zinc, tin, or bismuth oxide. The product exhibits a nominal visible light transmittance of 55% and a reflectance less than about 15% for incident light on the substrate (glass) side at visible light wavelengths and reflectance less than about 6% for incident light on the film side in the visible wavelengths. Emissivity is less than 0. 15. A method of fabricating the product is also disclosed.
