  • Patent number: 5792298
    Abstract: An automobile pane of laminated glass with a plurality of mutually parallel antenna wires having a diameter of 15 to 50 microns, which are virtually invisible to the eye. For producing such an antenna pane, the antenna wires are laid and fixed on a temporary support sheet, provided with an adhesive coating of the same thermoplastics polymer as the intermediate film of the laminated glass pane. By means of the temporary support sheet, the wires are transferred onto one of the two glass sheets forming the laminated glass pane.

  • Patent number: 5747170
    Abstract: A bombardment-inhibiting bulletproof glass pane for automobiles, composed of a plurality of silicate glass sheets (16, 17, 18, 19), connected together by thermoplastic intermediate layers (20, 21, 22). The pane may also comprise a silicate glass sheet (16) having a high absorption action in the spectral range from 780 to 1,200 nm. This silicate glass sheet (16) or another of the glass sheets (17, 18, 19) constituting the bulletproof glass pane may be provided, on one of its surfaces, with a partially reflecting surface coating (23), which has a high reflection in the spectral range of 780 to 1,200 nm. The bulletproof glass pane has, in total, a total light transmittance of less than 15%, and preferably of less than 10% in the spectral range from 780 to 1,200 nm. Bulletproof glass panes constructed in this manner offer a high security during night travel, because they are non-transparent to infrared sighting devices and noctovisers (night viewing devices).
