Patent number: 9133377Abstract: A heat-activable powder adhesive composition for use in bonding a component to a surface such as glass is disclosed. The composition of the disclosed invention includes at least two polymers, at least one solid di- or poly-isocyanate in powder form, and a catalyst. Each of the two polymers has a melting point above 40° C. The two polymers are selected from the group consisting of di-functional polymers and multi-functional polymers. The preferred method of preparing the composition of the disclosed invention includes first forming three parts, including a first melted part comprising the polymers, a second melted part comprising the polymers and a catalyst, and a third part comprising the isocyanate. Once cooled, each of the first and second parts forms solid blocks which are fragmented and sieved. The three dry parts are then brought together to form the adhesive powder of the disclosed invention. The adhesive powder can be pre-applied to the attachment surface of a component to be bonded.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2010Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: A.

Patent number: 8065835Abstract: A device for displaceably holding a glass pane (1) in a sliding rail has at least one fastening part (2) to which a hot-melt adhesive cushion (7) is fitted and which has at least one locking element (10, 11). Furthermore, there is an elongate holding rail (3) which can be brought into engagement with the or each locking element (10, 11). The or each locking element (10, 11) can be moved between a locking position, in which the or each fastening part (2) is connected fixedly to the holding rail (3), and a release position in which the engagement with the holding rail (3) is released and the glass pane (1) can be removed from the holding rail (3). As a result, repair due to wear of the holding rail (3) is less cost-intensive, since the glass pane (1) is connected releasably to the holding rail (3).Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2007Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: A.

Patent number: 7563506Abstract: A fastening arrangement comprises a fastening element provided with a fastening portion having a planar outer side surface, and a hot-melt adhesive that can be melted in order to fasten the fastening element to a substrate. The fastening element is provided with a receiving recess that is open in the direction of the planar outer side surface. A retaining structure is provided in the region of the receiving recess. The hot melt adhesive is configured as a compact whose shape is adapted to the retaining structure such that the compact can be connected to the fastening element. The fastening arrangement can thus be prefabricated without incipient melting of the hot-melt adhesive.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2005Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: A.
