MULTIPLE PANE GLASS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING MULTIPLE PANE GLASS

摘要

This multiple pane glass has: a pair of glass sheets disposed opposing each other separated by a predetermined gap; a sealing material (4) that seals the edges of the pair of glass sheets, forming a sealed space in a decompressed state between the glass sheets; and a spacer (5) disposed between the pair of glass sheets, maintaining the gap between the glass sheets. The spacer (5) has: a first surface and second surface that respectively contact the pair of glass sheets; and a constricted section provided between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface of the spacer (5) has a smaller area of glass sheet contact than does the second surface, the thickness from the first surface to the constricted section is smaller than the thickness from the second surface to the constricted section, and at least from the second surface to the constricted section is formed from a material having a lower thermal conductivity than does the glass sheet contacted to the first surface.
