  • Patent number: 8393668
    Abstract: A pane arrangement including a pane, for example a vehicle windscreen, and a holding section joining an attachment part to the pane, the holding section connected in a first connecting strip, which runs parallel to an edge of the pane, to a surface of the pane by a self-adhesive tape, and connected in a second connecting strip, which also runs parallel to the edge of the pane, to a surface of the pane by an adhesive applied in a flowable state and having a greater hardness than the self-adhesive tape. The second connecting strip is arranged nearer the edge of the pane than the first connecting strip, and thereby the connection between the pane and the holding section is as stiff as possible and yet the pane arrangement can be produced quickly and without a high outlay.

  • Publication number: 20110281095
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle glazing, comprising at least: a) at least one transparent pane (1), b) one transparent body (2), c) at least one transparent polymer layer (3) interposed between them, wherein the transparent body (2) is connected in a positively locking fashion to the transparent pane (1) via the transparent polymer layer (3) over at least one coupling surface and the maximum width and the maximum length of the transparent body is smaller than the minimum width and the minimum length of the transparent pane (1) and a transmission surface A2-p of the transparent body (2) and the surface A1 of the transparent pane (1), run parallel to each other with maximum angle deviations of less than 10°. The transparent pane (1) has an opaque border of the transmission region with covering paint (10). To mount an image recorder and to minimize light scatter, the transparent body (2) has light-absorbing parts (5).

  • Patent number: 7938713
    Abstract: Control device and method for controlling the impingement of the workpiece by a water jet or an abrasive water jet in a cutting unit. Control device includes a feeder composed of at least two flow-through areas positionable between a high-pressure water supply and a jet nozzle of the cutting unit. At least one of the flow-through areas includes a high pressure area, and at least one of the flow-through areas includes a pressure-reducing area. At least one switchable valve is arranged in the high-pressure area, a pressure-reducing mechanism is arranged in the pressure reducing area, and an impingement line is coupled to the at least two flow-through areas and coupleable to the jet nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20040113491
    Abstract: Actuating device for a lock mechanism (13) comprising a device (5, 6) for transmitting and receiving signals which can be transmitted without contact, at least one switching device (9) for connecting the interrogation dialog and an actuation device (11) associated with the transmission and reception device and found in the closed or locked position. The transmission and reception device comprises a control element (5) and another element (6) arranged in close proximity, the actuating device comprising at least one other switching device (4, 4′) which is associated with the control element (5) for connecting the latter so that it communicates only when it is in its actuated state.

  • Patent number: 5974834
    Abstract: For a method for bending and tempering glass which has an opening, the glass is bent in the horizontal position using a bending frame (9) and is tempered on the bending frame (9). The bending frame in respect of its contour and of its geometric shape corresponds to the desired shape of the bent glass. During the bending operation and during the tempering operation the glass is supported, in the region around the edge of the opening, by an additional internal bending frame (12).

  • Patent number: 5918420
    Abstract: In the case of a height-adjustable vehicle window, a holding element (35) provided with a runner (25) is fixed at the bottom edge of the window pane (21). The runner (25) engages in a rigid guiding slideway (22) which is fitted into the door casing and can move by sliding along the guiding slideway (22). The holding element (35) and the runner (25) are made of a polymer which can be mechanically stressed and constitute a component molded as a single piece. Provided between the holding element(35) and the runner (25) is a connection piece (37) of smaller cross-section. The tolerances imposed by the manufacture and fitting of the constituent components are compensated for by the elastic deformation of this connection piece (37). The runner (25) and the guiding slideway (22) are joined together by press-fitting the runner (25) onto a central rib (24) of the guiding slideway (22) by elastically deforming the runner (25).
