  • Suppression of electrostatic discharge noise by means of conduction between a tiered metal element and the wiring system of a glazing unit
    Patent number: 11548268
    Abstract: A laminated glazing includes a first and a second glass sheet that are bonded by a first interlayer adhesive layer, a peripheral zone of the laminated glazing being covered by a stepped metal element, the laminated glazing including a heating network of wires and/or a heating electrically conductive layer that is provided with busbars, a plurality of probes and other optional electrical elements that are linked to an electrical power supply via the connector of the laminated glazing, an electrical conductor linking the stepped metal element to a busbar of the heating network of wires and/or of the heating electrically conductive layer; and/or to the cap of the connector of the laminated glazing, which is linked to the ground of the structure for mounting the laminated glazing; and/or to a contact of the connector.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 6, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2023
    Assignees: SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCE, AIRBUS OPERATIONS SAS
    Inventors: Marie-Hélène Debrus, Thomas Tondu, Hugo Canales, Franck Flourens, Catherine Unfer, Osmin Delverdier
  • Electrostatic discharge noise suppression by conduction between a stepped metal element and the pane retainer
    Patent number: 10906627
    Abstract: A laminated glazing includes a first and a second glass sheet that are bonded by a first interlayer adhesive layer, a peripheral zone of the laminated glazing being covered by a stepped metal element, a window press that is rigidly connected to the structure for mounting the laminated glazing making contact with the laminated glazing, so as to hold the laminated glazing secure to its mounting structure, an electrical conductor linking the stepped metal element and the structure for mounting the laminated glazing by way of the window press.
