Patent number: 6926786Abstract: In a method for making laminated glass, a sheet includes two glass substrates with an interlayer sheet between them. This sheet includes a polymer based film provided on one of the surfaces with a thin functional layer. The sheet is cut out in dimensions substantially identical to or greater than one of the glass substrates. The sheet is slit on at least the thickness of the film provided with the functional layer so as to delimit at least a peripheral zone of the film located between the slitting line and its edge. The interlayer sheet is assembled between the glass substrates. The peripheral zone is then detached by mechanical traction to transform the laminated glass sheet.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2002Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: Saint-Gobain VitrageInventors: Thorsten Frost, Stefan Immerschitt, Franz Kraemling, Philippe Leclercq, Laurent Poncet, Heinz Schilde

Publication number: 20040028953Abstract: The present invention relates to glazing made of transparent laminated glass of at least two glass panes united by a transparent intercalating sheet of the thermoplastic type and an antisun coat which essentially reflects rays outside the visible spectrum of the solar rays, in particular infrared rays. The laminated glazing is characterized in that it is equipped, on the surface facing the driving compartment, with a transparent coat which essentially reflects heat rays, of the low-emissive type. Besides its antisun function, it also has an insulating function.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2003Publication date: February 12, 2004Applicant: Saint-Gobain VitrageInventor: Franz Kraemling

Patent number: 5979932Abstract: A device for protection of the occupants of a vehicle in the event of a side impact includes an inflatable bag (airbag (9)) placed in the side wall beneath a window in such a way that, in the activated state, it deploys in the direction extending between the occupant's head and the surface of the window. The window pane (15) is a compound glass pane which includes at least one glass sheet (16,17) and at least one intermediate layer (18) and which has an increased flexural strength because of the fact that: a) the layer (18) consists of a laminate composed of a core layer of an impact-resistant polymer, and of two thermoplastic adhesive layers, of polyvinyl butyral or of polyurethane, which are placed on both sides of the PET layer, or b) the layer (18) is made of a plastic having a Young's modulus at least equal to 20 MPa.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1997Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: Saint-Gobain VitrageInventors: Loic Jourdaine, Franz Kraemling, Stefan Immershitt

Patent number: 4178728Abstract: This invention relates to a highly effective fire-proof window consisting of at least one glass sheet mounted in a frame, the frame being such that when the glass sheet is exposed to the effect of heat in a fire, it will be subjected to a somewhat uniform heat effect thus preventing breakage due to the buildup of stresses. Uniform heating is produced by the inclusion of a covering along the edge of the glass which falls away upon heating of the window.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 1977Date of Patent: December 18, 1979Assignee: Saint-Gobain IndustriesInventors: Gunther Ortmanns, Franz Kraemling, Siegfried Pikhard
