Spacers for spacing sheets of glass

Abstract

Spacers for spacing sheets of glass (30, 30 ') in an insulating glass unit, to a dimensionally flexible elongate body (12) which extends along a longitudinal direction (14) substantially, which in the mounted state parallel to the (at a distance from holding glass panes 30, 30 ') proceeds, wherein the base body (12) has two side surfaces (24, 24') (for Anlanger on the glass panes 30, 30 ') and transversely to the side surfaces (24, 24') has a substantially (in the longitudinal direction 14) extending underside (16), wherein (at the bottom 16) a plate-shaped locking element (18) is arranged, which serves as a water vapor and gas diffusion barrier, wherein the plate-shaped locking element (18) aligned transversely (to the longitudinal direction 14) ribbing ( 20).
