Abstract
Abstract An acoustically and thermally insulated window structure comprising two outer panes and at least one inner pane with an outer spacer interposed between the outer panes and at least one further spacer defining a gap between inner panes when a plurality of the latter are provided. One of the inner panes is spaced at a predetermined relatively small distance from a corresponding outer pane and a body of moisture-absorbent material is disposed in fluid communication with a space within the inner panes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A multipane window structure comprising a pair of coextensive spaced-apart transparent outer panes; an inner transparent pane spaced from and parallel to each outer pane and closer to the respective outer pane than to the other inner pane; a layer of transparent sound-damping material disposed between each inner pane and the respective outer pane and filling the gap between each respective inner and outer pane; spacer means sealingly retaining said panes relative to one another and closing the edges of said structure, said spacer means comprising a generally U-section body having a pair of shanks and a bight bridging the space between said outer panes, said shanks being bounded along their outer surfaces to inner faces of said outer panes and being formed, remote from said bight, with inwardly lying channels open away from the bight and respectively receiving edge portions of the respective inner panes, said channels and said shanks together defining an h-profile; and a moisture-absorption member received between said shanks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
