Abstract: A shaped cord (2) is postformed in the shape of a frame extruded onto a glass (1) and is slightly curved in the direction of the length of shaped cord (2). A forming mold (4) is used in a postforming operation, with lateral edges (11, 12) that are slightly above the surface of shaped cord (2). This avoids the creation of imprints in the form of lines or edges on the shaped cord, and a smooth transition is achieved between the postformed length of the shaped cord that attaches thereto.

Abstract: To postform the region of transition between the initial part and the end part of a section piece forming a closed frame and applied to window glass (1) by extrusion, use is made of a mould (14) which pivots about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the extruded section piece and which is situated in the region of the surface of the window glass (1). The axis of pivoting of the mould (14) coincides with the cutting ridge (15) of a protrusion (16) which limits the calibrated cavity of the mould (14) on the internal face of the extruded section piece. As the mould (14) pivots, the excess polymer material is pushed back in the direction of the periphery of the window glass and beyond this periphery.

Abstract: The forming surface of a forming mold (5) for postforming of a shaped cord (2) in the shape of a frame extruded onto a glass (1) is slightly curved in the direction of the length of shaped cord (2). In the final position of forming mold (4) during the postforming operation, lateral edges (11, 12) are thus slightly above the surface of shaped cord (2). This avoids the creation of imprints in the form of lines or edges on the shaped cord, and a smooth transition is achieved between the postformed length of the shaped cord that attaches there.

Abstract: This invention is related to a method for shaping profile an extrudable plastic material attached to a surface. In the process, a die being part of a cylinder and having a shape corresponding to the desired cross-section of the profile is introduced into the plastic material and is then extracted therefrom by rolling the cylinder. The invention is also related to a device for carrying out the process.

Abstract: The invention discribes a glazing equipped with an extruded profile on which or in place of which is cast a complement, which is connected to the profile,The procedure makes it possible to replace part of the profile which is difficult to produce by extrusion or to add to it foreign elements such as fastenings or various accessories.

Abstract: An apparatus for adding a moulded polymer part upon a peripheral portion of a glazing including: a mould member having upper and lower portions which form a cavity which corresponds to the desired shape of the polymer part, alignment rods and apertures for positioning the mould member against the peripheral surface of the glazing, and an injection orifice in the mould member for introducing material for forming the polymer part in the mold cavity. At least one sealing slat extends from the mould member for contact with the glazing surface to form part of the mould cavity. At least one plate member is slideably mounted between the upper and lower mold portions for defining the portion of the cavity which contacts the lip of the polymer part.

Abstract: A glazing production line includes a plurality of workstations at which tasks are performed on glass sheets, and a conveying system for transporting the glass sheets to each workstations, including at least one mobile support. An attachment system is utilized to attach the glass sheet to the mobile support, and a positioning system is utilized to precisely arrange the glass sheet, which is attached to the mobile support, relative to the workstation so that the task can be performed on the sheet.

Abstract: The invention is in a glass pane including a conductive strip around or substantially around its marginal edge. The conductive strip when included in circuit to a source of power may be heated for treating a strand of adhesive comprising an adhering medium between the glass pane and a frame thereby to enable both installation of the glass pane in the frame and permit removal of the glass pane from the frame with relative ease.

Abstract: A thermoplastic synthetic high polymer sheet including induced tensile stress lengthwise of the sheet which varies in intensity from a maximum along one edge to a minimum along the other edge. The induced tensile stress is frozen in the sheet by maintaining its temperature below a transformation temperature. Upon elevation of the temperature of the sheet above the transformation temperature, as the process of fabrication of a laminated windshield is to commence, the sheet, without further operative forming operations, will deform to conform substantially to the outline of the outer curved lamina of the windshield. The sheet may include a zone along one edge to provide filtering of glare.

Abstract: Multiply windows are made by assemblying an interlayer of thermoplastic adhesive between plies of the sheet, subjecting the outer surfaces of the plies and the interlayer to vacuum, and subjecting the evacuated assembly to heat and pressure sufficient to bond them together while maintaining the vacuum. Apparatus is provided for this operation which includes an autoclave, means to establish a selected temperature within the autoclave, means to establish a selected pressure within the autoclave, flexible sack means within the autoclave, means to seal the sack means about a multiply sheet, and vacuum means connected to the interior of the sack means.
