Abstract:
An automobile glazing (1,7) is equipped with one or two profile barriers (2; 9,10; 12,13; 20,21) which are used to impede the expansion of a bead of glue that secures the glazing to the fastening metal sheet of a window opening of an automobile body. The profile barriers comprise a setting adhesive mass that has been deposited on an opaque layer 5 to which it adheres. The profile barriers are deposited on the immediate periphery of the glazing by extrusion of the viscous adhesive mass.
Abstract:
Attached onto a windshield of laminated safety glass for an automobile in the upper region of its face inside the passenger compartment of the vehicle is a shaped panel extending preferably over its entire width, which serves as a support and/or casing for various functional elements such as sun visors, a rear view mirror, speakers and/or automobile clock. This shaped panel, which is equipped with these functional elements, is attached to windshield before mounting it onto the body of the vehicle. In this way, the work done on the vehicle assembly line is simplified.
Abstract:
Anti-glare glass pane for a vehicle where the pane has a main area of a field of vision and a secondary area of a field of vision located below the main area which is less transparent to the visible spectrum than said main area.
Abstract:
An automobile glazing pane, ready for installation, is pre-equipped with a mounting frame of an elastomer. The mounting frame is disposed only on the side of the glass pane facing towards the fixing flange of the window frame, without engaging around the edge of the glass pane and is bonded to the glass pane. It possesses a mounting groove for the clamped fixing of the pre-equipped glass pane to the fixing flange of the window pane.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle glazing (1) prepared for installation according to the adhesive process is provided with a profiled spacer (8) produced by extrusion of an extrudable polymer directly onto glazing (1) and subsequent setting. During installation of glazing (1) in the window opening of the motor vehicle body, profiled spacer (8) acts as an intermediate member between glazing (1) and assembly adhesive extrudate (13). Profiled spacer (8) is provided along its outer periphery with a lip portion (10) projecting beyond peripheral area (3) of glazing (1). In the installed position of glazing (1), lip portion (10) rests against the window frame flange (4) running parallel to peripheral area (3) of glazing (1) and acts, upon insertion of the glazing during the setting process of assembly adhesive (13), as a support and centering element for glazing (1).

Abstract:
The element according to the invention consists in a preferred embodiment of two panes (10, 12) assembled in the manner of a composite or laminate pane, a thermally insulating layer, for example an air or inert gas layer, formed between said panes, and a sheet-like photovoltaic unit (18) which is arranged between the one pane (10) and the thermally insulating layer and which can consist of a transparent semiconductor material. By this configuration of the element the solar energy is optimally available as light and thermal energy in accordance with its spectral distribution and after conversion by the photovoltaic element also as electrical energy.
Abstract:
Preparation of a ready-to-assemble glazing intended to be glued in the frame of a window opening of the vehicle body. According to the invention, two adhesive beads (18,15) are deposited, simultaneously or immediately after one another, on glass sheet (1), or on an opaque coating (10) in the shape of a frame adhering to sheet (1). The adhesive compound that forms the first bead (18) is selected or treated so that this bead sets in a relatively short time. The adhesive compound forming the second bead (15) is selected or treated so that this bead (15) remains plastically deformable and adhesive for a sufficient period to be used directly for gluing the glazing in the window opening during its assembly. Adhesive bead (18), which sets in a short time, optionally makes it possible to fasten parts of the structure frame, for example a tearing wire (21), and it advantageously comprises a shaped sealing lip (20).
Abstract:
The invention relates to attachment of metal edge strips to a sliding glass sheet for an automobile, the function of the strips being to guide or hold said sheet. Edge strips are attached to a sliding glass sheet by means of an adhesive which has high adhesion to glass, such as an adhesive comprised of polyurethane with other components.According to the invention, the adhesion of the adhesive to the edge strips is enhanced by furnishing the leg of the strip, which contacts the adhesive, with apertures, grooves, notches, channels and hollows. It has been found that the contact surface between the adhesive and the leg is at least twice as important as that between the adhesive and the glass.
Abstract:
A shaped molding (13), placed on the edge of a glass pane (2), has a segment (17) which, viewed in cross section, lies outside the periphery of the glass pane (2) and which can be subjected to controlled plastic deformation through the action of mechanical forces. In this way, a framed glass pane can be made with calibrated outside dimensions. Because of the controlled plastic deformation, surface tolerances, e.g., the manufacturing tolerances of the window openings of automobile bodies, can be compensated for individually.
