Abstract
An insulating spacer for use in glazing assemblies is provided. The spacer comprises a foamed insulating body and further includes a second sealant material. The insulating body partially contacts the substrates as does the sealant to provide a double seal when used in a glazing assembly. In other embodiments the spacer is a composite of foam, sealant material, rigid plastics and desiccated matrices. A further embodiment discloses an undulating foam spacer body for easy manipulation about the corner in glazing assemblies. The result of incorporation of the foam is a substantially energy efficient spacer and assembly.
Claims
1. A spacer for spacing substrates in an insulated assembly, comprising: a cellular insulating body having a front face and rear face spaced relation, a first substrate engaging surface in spaced relation with a second substrate engaging surface; and characterized In that at least one channel extends within said body and through said front face, said at least one channel extending between substrate engaging surfaces, said channel defining spaced apart substrate engaging arms, an arm of each of said arms having a respective substrate engaging surface, said channel spacing said arms sufficiently to prevent contact therebetween.
2. The spacer as characterized in claim 1, wherein said cellular insulating body comprises a consolidated insulating material having interstices.
3. The spacer as characterized in claim 2, wherein said Insulating material comprises cork.
4. The spacer as characterized in claim 2, wherein said insulating material comprises EPDM.
5. The spacer as characterized in claim 2, wherein said insulating material comprises foam material.
6. The spacer as characterized in claim 2, wherein said foam material includes a single material.
7. The spacer as characterized in claim 2, wherein said foam material comprises a multiple material foam.
8. The spacer as characterized in claim 1 , wherein said rear face includes a fluid barrier.
9. The spacer as characterized in claim 6, wherein said fluid barrier comprises a vapour barrier.
10. The spacer as characterized in claim 9, wherein said vapour barrier comprises a plastic material.
11. The spacer as characterized in claim 10, wherein said plastic material comprises a metallized plastic material.
12. The spacer as characterized in claim 1 , wherein said channel includes a desiccant matrix therein.
13. The spacer as characterized in claim 12, wherein said desiccant matrix is configured to cooperatively engage said channel.
14. The spacer as characterized in claim 11 , wherein said metallized vapour barrier further includes a layer of cellular insulating material.
15. The spacer as characterized in claim 1 , wherein said channel has a shape selected from the group comprising C-shaped, polygonal, wave, parabolic, and undulating forms.
H ET A
16. The spacer as characterized in claim 15, wherein said channel further includes at least one projection extending outwardly from said channel.
17. An insulated glass assembly having an interior atmosphere, comprising: a pair of glass substrates; a cellular insulating body having spaced apart substrate engaging surfaces, a glass substrate engaged with a respective substrate engaging surface, said insulating body further including a front face directed toward said interior atmosphere of said assembly and a rear face extending outwardly of said interior assembly; and characterized in that at least one channel extends within said body and through said front face, said at least one channel extending between said substrate engaging surfaces, said channel defining spaced apart substrate engaging arms, an arm of each of said arms having a respective substrate engaging surface, said channel spacing said arms sufficiently to prevent contact therebetween during deformation of said arms.
18. The assembly as characterized in claim 17, wherein said at least one channel includes a desiccant matrix configured to engage said at least one channel.

27. The assembly as characterized in claim 20, wherein said sealant material is selected from the group comprising hot melt polyisobutylene.
28. A composite spacer for spacing substrates in an insulated assembly comprising: a first body of cellular insulating material having a front face and a rear face in spaced relation, a first substrate engaging surface in spaced relation with a second substrate engaging surface; characterized in that at least one channel extends within said body and through said front face, said at least one channel extending between substrate engaging surfaces; and further including a vapour barrier contacting said rear face of said first body of cellular insulating material and a second body of cellular insulating material contacting said vapour barrier, wherein said cellular insulating bodies and said vapour barrier collectively provide at least three independent substrate engaging surfaces for engagement with a respective substrate.
29. The spacer as characterized in claim 28, wherein said composite spacer comprises a laminated composite spacer.
30. The spacer as characterized in claim 28, wherein said first body of cellular insulating material and said second body of cellular insulating material comprise similar materials.
31. The spacer as characterized in claim 28, wherein said first body of cellular insulating material and said second body of cellular insulating material comprise different materials.
32. The spacer as characterized in claim 28, wherein said first body of cellular material and said second body of cellular material each comprise a mixture of foamed materials.
