Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0345211A2] The gap (7) between glass sheets (2, 3) hermetically joined at the edge is connected to a desiccant container (5) disposed outside the glass sheets and containing a desiccant (6) and/or to an expansion vessel (32) or via a line (35) to the atmosphere so that the desiccant can easily be changed when its capacity to absorb moisture has dropped and the internal pressure in the gap can be adjusted to the atmospheric pressure outside. <IMAGE>
