  • Patent number: 5601328
    Abstract: The bonded fitting of window panes or windshields onto the window-pane flange of the window aperture of a motor-vehicle body has a set bead of adhesive which is applied between those edges of the window pane which are on the inside and the window-pane flange. In this arrangement, in each of the two lower corners there is provided, between the window pane and the bead of adhesive, a respective pressure-sensitive adhesive strip with the adhesive or bonding force reduced on one side. The pressure-sensitive adhesive strip extends from the corners of the window pane along the edges of the window pane in each case for 60 to 120 mm. When removing the window pane the pressure-sensitive adhesive strip in these corners is easily detached without using much force from the inner edge of the window pane by tilting the rest of the window pane which has been cut free.

  • Patent number: 4635415
    Abstract: A glass pane adhesively fastened in the frame of an automobile body by means of an elastomeric polymerized adhesive, which is provided on its surface within the adhesive area with a conductor strip provided with electrical connections that on its side facing the adhesive carries a separating layer of a thermally meltable or fusible material such as soft solder or thermoplastic. For purposes of disassembly of the pane, a current is caused to flow through the conductor strip so that the conductor strip heats up, the separating layer melts and the pane can be disassembled without difficulties.

  • Patent number: 4475314
    Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a transparent windowpane guided displaceably in height inside of a hollow body space of a motor vehicle by guide members. The mounting support is provided at least on the side thereof facing the transparent pane with a curved surface, against which abuts a bearing socket forming a separator with respect to the transparent pane. A fastening element connecting the bearing socket with the mounting support is so arranged and constructed that the fastening element, in the loosened condition, can be displaced, respectively, pivoted together with the bearing socket.

  • Patent number: 4121381
    Abstract: An articulated window lifter, especially for motor vehicles, whose windowpane is to be not only lowered within predetermined boundaries but also has to be laterally displaced and pivoted for purposes of avoiding door frame parts and the like which lie in its way; a pinion supported on a base plate engages with a toothed sector which is pivotally supported on the base plate while linkage parts are pivotally connected with the toothed sector; two four-jointed transmissions with a common fixed pivot point on a base plate are thereby used in superposed relationship, whereby one of the four-jointed transmissions has a further pivot point on the base plate and includes two pivot arms pivotally supported in the two pivot points on the base plate and a rod connecting the two pivot arms with each other; the other four-jointed transmission includes a first pivot arm connected at a fixed angle, with a first one of the two pivot arms of the one four-jointed transmission; the first pivot arm of the other four-jointed tran
