  • Patent number: 7423239
    Abstract: A laminated panel element that includes at least two rigid panes, for example glass panes, bonded to each other on their surfaces, which are each provided, over their whole surface, with an electrically conductive coating that can be heated by application of a voltage via electrodes. One of the two rigid panes is provided with a cut-out allowing the passage of external electrical connections that are in electrical contact with the two coatings.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7301126
    Abstract: A panel element with a toughened pane, provided with a total surface coating, which is electrically conducting and heated by applying an electrical voltage by electrodes. A partial zone of the coating is electrically separated by a separating line. Specifically, an inner surface zone of the coating is separated electrically, by at least one peripheral separating line, from an external edge region of the coating, and the electrodes are placed inside the surface zone surrounded by the peripheral separating line.

  • Patent number: 7156666
    Abstract: A connector for a flat multilayer element that includes a first rigid glazing pane provided with one or more electrical functional elements and a second rigid glazing pane joined flat to that side of the first rigid glazing pane that is provided with the functional elements. The second pane has at least one cutout for making an electrical connection to the functional elements. A liner is fastened in the cutout by a projection, the edge of which lies in the plane between the two rigid panes and/or catches, via the rear, on an undercut of the cutout. The liner serves as a counterbearing surface for fastening at least one connection piece electrically connected to the functional elements.
