Patent number: 9266689Abstract: A method for the attachment of a formed adhesive element (34,34?) to a hot bonding part (10) in a practical and efficient way is disclosed. The formed adhesive element may be attached to the hot bonding part by the end-user prior to attachment of the hot bonding part to the substrate. In order to attach the formed adhesive element (34,34?) to the bonding part according to the disclosed invention, the bonding part (10) is heated then is moved in position over the formed adhesive element positioned on a detent of a matrix plate (36). Thereafter the hot bonding part is moved into contact with the formed adhesive element or the formed adhesive element is moved against the hot bonding part. The bonding part, now having the formed adhesive element attached, is ready for attachment to the substrate. One or more formed adhesive elements may be attached to the bonding part. Attachment of the formed adhesive elements to the bonding part may be done manually or mechanically.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2011Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: A. Raymond Et CieInventors: Mathias Hansel, Frederic Laure, Olivier Daverio

Publication number: 20130233487Abstract: A manually operated or automated bonding tool for the attachment of a formed adhesive element to a bonding part is disclosed. The bonding tool includes a loading module in which the bare bonding part is loaded, an oven module in which the bare bonding part is heated, an adhesive picking station module in which the adhesive is attached to the heated bare bonding part, and a part transfer module which advances the bare bonding part sequentially from the loading module, through the oven module, and to the adhesive picking station module. The oven module includes an elongated heating block having a bonding part guide by which the bare bonding parts are transferred through the oven and to the adhesive picking station module. The part transfer module is used to push the unheated bare bonding part into and through the oven module and into position on the adhesive picking station module.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2013Publication date: September 12, 2013Inventors: Mathias Hansel, Herbert Le Pabic, Frederic Laure, Olivier Daverio

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: 7750797Abstract: A method of detecting the separation of an electronic module (1) from a vehicle on which the module is mounted. According to this method, the module (1) has associated with it an inductance (17) inseparable from the module, the inductance (17) and the associated module (1) are connected to an element of the vehicle, in the immediate vicinity of an element (18) made of ferromagnetic material, the current passing through the inductance (17) is measured (monitored), so as to detect any variation of current and, when a current variation greater than a predetermined variation threshold is detected, representative of a relative distance between the inductance (17) and the element made of ferromagnetic material (18), there is ordered the emission of a signal indicating the separation of the module (1) associated with the inductance from the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2005Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Continental Automotive FranceInventors: Frédéric Laure, Dominique Luce

Patent number: 6803111Abstract: A glazing is provided comprising a glass sheet with a rigid member bonded to it by adhesive which is provided on at least two discrete areas of the member or glass sheet. The adhesive may be a structural adhesive, pre-applied in tablet form, and activated by heat. The use of multiple discrete areas of adhesive allows differential thermal expansion to be accommodated. The glazing may be for a vehicle window, and the rigid member may be a plate, especially a mounting plate for ancillary equipment.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2002Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignees: Societa Italiana Vetro-Siv-S.p.A., A.
