Abstract

An illuminated window arrangement having insulating glazing is described. The illuminated window arrangement has: composite glass pane, at least one circumferential connection element between the composite glass pane and a lower pane, and LED housing fastened to a side edge of the lower pane, an LED printed circuit board fastened to the LED, an electrical connector fastened to the LED printed circuit board, and sheathing of the LED, the LED printed circuit board, and the electrical connector.

Claims (46)

1. An illuminated facade arrangement comprising two illuminated window arrangements having insulating glazings, each window arrangement having an insulating glazing comprising:

a composite glass pane, wherein the composite glass pane comprises an upper pane, an adhesive layer and a middle pane,

at least one circumferential connection element between the composite glass pane and a lower pane, and

a LED housing fastened to a side edge of the lower pane comprising at least an LED, an LED printed circuit board fastened to the LED, an electrical connector fastened to the LED printed circuit board, and a sheathing of the LED, the LED printed circuit board, and the electrical connector,

wherein the LED housing is connected to the side edge of the lower pane via an optically transparent adhesive and/or adhesive tape,

wherein the window arrangements are connected via fastening units to a facade mount and a cover fastened between the insulating glazings to a side of the insulating glazings turned away from the facade mount, and

wherein a supplying of power to the LED housing takes place via a cable to a power feed in a main cable inside the cover.

2. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a reflector is disposed between the at least one circumferential connection element adjacent the LED housing and the lower pane.

3. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the composite glass pane has a thermal protection coating.

4. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating glazing has an optical transparency of greater than 60%.

5. The facade arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the insulating glazing has an optical transparency greater than 75%.

6. The facade arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the insulating glazing has an optical transparency greater than 85%.

7. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the lower pane contains luminous fields, preferably particles, dot patterns, line patterns, stickers, deposits, indentations, screen prints, incisions, and/or combinations thereof.

8. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the sheathing contains a metal, preferably aluminum, titanium, iron, chromium, nickel, tungsten, and/or alloys.

9. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the sheathing contains at least one polymer, preferably:

i) polyurethanes,

ii) silicones

iii) polyisoprenes,

iv) styrene-butadiene rubber,

v) butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber,

vi) polyacrylates,

vii) mixtures of polymers i)-vi) or

viii) copolymers of any one of polymers i)-vi).

10. The facade arrangement according to claim 9 , wherein the silicones comprise:

i) RTV silicone rubber,

ii) HTV silicone rubber,

iii) peroxide vulcanizing silicone rubber,

iv) addition vulcanizing silicone rubber,

v) mixtures of the silicones i)-iv), or

vi) copolymers of any one of the silicones i)-iv).

11. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the optically transparent adhesive and/or adhesive tape contains:

i) acrylate adhesives,

ii) methyl methacrylate adhesives,

iii) cyanoacrylate adhesives,

iv) polyepoxies,

v) silicone adhesives,

vi) silane cross-linking polymer adhesives,

vii) RTV silicone rubber,

viii) HTV silicone rubber,

ix) peroxide vulcanizing silicone rubber,

x) addition vulcanizing silicone rubber,

xi) mixtures of any one of adhesives i)-x) or

xii) copolymers of any one of adhesives i)-x).

12. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one circumferential connection element has a width of 5 mm to 20 mm.

13. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the optically transparent adhesive and/or adhesive tape have an optical transparency of >80%, preferably >90%.

14. The facade arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the LED housing has a recess for a cable.
