  • Patent number: 5540961
    Abstract: A process for the production of a laminated glass glazing having one or more wires within an intermediate thermoplastic layer and electrically connected to busbars, wherein the wires are heated by an adequate energy application locally limited to the connection points prior to the electrical connection to the busbars, to the extent that the surface layers adhering to the surface of the wires are eliminated. The application of a locally limited adequate energy supply takes place by use of laser rays, as a result of the fact that the focus of a beam of laser rays oriented perpendicular to the busbars is displaced in the longitudinal direction above and on the busbars. The wires are then welded to the busbars. The layers forming the laminated glass glazings are presently assembled in a conventional manner and joined to one another under heat and pressure.
