  • Publication number: 20080047655
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of injection molding to form polymeric interlayers directly between two rigid substrates that are positioned so that after injection of the melted polymeric material and after cooling, the resulting multiple layer panel functions as a safety panel that can be used in any appropriate conventional safety glazing application. Methods of the present invention utilize a relatively low molecular weight polymer, multiple injection points, mold compression, and/or a heated substrate in order to facilitate the injection of polymer into the relatively narrow space between glazing substrates that is typically found in safety glazings.

  • Patent number: 7246806
    Abstract: A suspension system connects a wheel support to a vehicle body to confer on the wheel support, relative to the body, a degree of camber freedom and a degree of freedom of vertical deflection of the suspension, which freedoms are independent of one another. The suspension system includes an anti-roll device capable of controlling the roll of the body, the anti-roll device being arranged to influence the camber variation as a function of the difference between the vertical deflection of a wheel relative to that of the opposite wheel on the same axle. The system includes suspension elements whose respective inner ends are connected to a rocker for pivoting movement about respective pivot axes that are fixed spacially relative to the rocker.

  • Patent number: 7234708
    Abstract: In a suspension system that connects a wheel support to a vehicle body, the wheel support is designed to carry a wheel of radius “r”, the wheel is intended to rest on the ground via a contact area, the system includes an arrangement that confers upon the wheel support, relative to the body, a degree of freedom of the camber and a degree of freedom of the deflection of the suspension that are independent of one another. The system is configured such that the camber movement of the wheel support relative to the body has, around a mean position, an instantaneous center of rotation (CIR r/c) located within a range from 2.5 r above ground to r below ground.
