Abstract

Method and apparatus for assembly mutin bar lattices and spacer frames for use in insulating glass units are disclosed. One method of assembling a muntin bar lattice in accordance with the present invention comprises the steps of providing a muntin bar segment (120) and a keeper (100) dimensioned for piercing a wall of the muntin bar segment (120). A keeper in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises an elongate body (130) including a tip portion that is dimensioned for piercing a wall of the muntin bar segment to crate on opening therein. A spacer for the separation of panes in an insulating glass unit in accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a tubular member comprising a wall defining a lumen and a mounting flange defining a plurality of mounting holes.
