  • Publication number: 20230135979
    Abstract: A laminated side glazing of a vehicle, with an upper edge, a lower edge, a front edge, and a rear edge, includes an outer pane and an inner pane, which panes are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer, and a transparent, heatable coating, which is arranged between the outer pane and the inner pane and which is electrically contacted by a first collecting busbar and a second collecting busbar and which has, for guiding a heating current flowing between the collecting busbars, at least one decoated isolating line that runs between the collecting busbars, wherein the first collecting busbar and the second collecting busbar are arranged along the front edge or the rear edge and wherein an upper part and a lower part are defined by pattern of decoated isolated lines different in the upper part and the lower part of the laminated side glazing.

  • Publication number: 20230065516
    Abstract: A method for busbar hiding of a heated coating laminated glazing formed by a first glass sheet and a second glass sheet, each having an outer and an inner face. The method also includes performing enamel printing on an inner face of the first glass sheet and/or the second glass sheet, where the enamel forms a pattern. The enamel is fired and the pattern is covered at least in part by a coating, where the coating extends to at least an area of the enamel for applying busbars. At least two silver busbars are applied in the area on top of the extended coating. A thermal treatment is applied on the first and second glass sheets, where the first and second glass sheets are laminated and the coating is provided between the first and second glass sheets.

  • Publication number: 20210379872
    Abstract: A laminated electrically heatable glazing panel includes: (i) a first outer and second inner substrates with respectively an internal and an external faces, laminated to one another via at least one polymer inclusive interlayer, (ii) a coating including at least one heatable conductive layer provided between the outer and the inner substrates, the coating divided into at least one heatable coating zone and at least one non-heatable coating zone, the first heatable zone being delimited by at least two zone boundaries which are insulating by a coating deletion area, and (iii) at least a first and second conductive bus bars, each of the spaced first and second bus bars adapted to supply electrical voltage across the at least one electrically heatable coating zone. Only the at least one electrically heatable coating zone is heated when current runs through said first and second bus bars and wherein the conductive path is defined between the busbars.

  • Patent number: 11076453
    Abstract: A heatable glazing comprising a pane of glazing material with a first portion delimited by a first and a second bus bars wherein a voltage VI is applied and a second portion of the pane in need of rapid heating delimited by the second bus bar and a third bus bar wherein a voltage V2 is applied. The voltage VI is converted into a voltage V2 within the second portion by an electrical converter DC/DC.
