A process for forming an encapsulated window assembly (60) comprising a gasket member (54) surrounding a peripheral region of a transparent sheet (40) and a periphery seal assembly (42) secured to the gasket member (54). The peripheral region of the transparent sheet (4), as well as a preformed periphery seal assembly (42), are positioned within a mold cavity. The periphery seal assembly (42) includes an elastomeric seal (44) secured to a seal support member (46), with the seal support member (46) being relatively rigid as compared with the elastomeric seal (44). The mold is closed, bringing the mold sections (12, 30) into facing relationship, whereby opposed surfaces of the seal support member (46) of the periphery seal assembly (42) are engaged between a surface of the lower mold section (30) and a surface of the upper mold section (12). A molding material is injected into the mold (10) so as to fill the mold cavity, is allowed to solidify, and the mold (10) is opened and the encapsulated window assembly (60) is removed. The invention also relates to the resulting encapsulated glazing unit and mold apparatus. |
