Abstract: An apparatus for adding a moulded polymer part upon a peripheral portion of a glazing including: a mould member having upper and lower portions which form a cavity which corresponds to the desired shape of the polymer part, alignment rods and apertures for positioning the mould member against the peripheral surface of the glazing, and an injection orifice in the mould member for introducing material for forming the polymer part in the mold cavity. At least one sealing slat extends from the mould member for contact with the glazing surface to form part of the mould cavity. At least one plate member is slideably mounted between the upper and lower mold portions for defining the portion of the cavity which contacts the lip of the polymer part.

Abstract: A method and a device for monitoring the transparency of at least a portion of a preassembled laminated pane by analysis of the luminous intensity of the image of a test pattern viewed through the portion of the pane. The luminous intensity, picked up by a detector, of each point of the test pattern viewed through the pane is digitized to produce a number. The numbers obtained for the points of one same image are then averaged, the average obtained being compared with a previously determined theoretical value.
