  • Publication number: 20230291129
    Abstract: A flat plate connector including a glass substrate, a conductive silver printing, an adhesion material for electrical connection, an insulated film, a conductive metal strip, and an additional adhesion tape. The flat connector having a dedicated cut-out, where the flat connector before mechanical and electrical bounding with the adhesion material can be fixed with a tape which, depending on its type, can also enhance pull-off resistance and ageing tests. The area is then defined as the surface where the connector adheres to the glass, including the different adhesion materials. The dedicated cut is made in the flat connector to generate a symmetric tensile stress on this adhesion area when the connector is submitted to a pull-off tensile force, the symmetry axis being defined by this pull force axis.

  • Patent number: 10098186
    Abstract: A heated laminated windscreen including two sheets of glass joined by an inserted sheet, and including a system of conductive layers covering most of a surface of one glass sheet of the windscreen. The system is electrically powered by busbars at a top and bottom of the windscreen, with windows which are devoid of layers arranged at the top in the middle of the windscreen. The windscreen further including at least one additional busbar arranged laterally on edges and at the top of the windscreen.
