  • Patent number: 11851929
    Abstract: A holder-equipped window glass includes a window glass having a holder and formed in a curved shape having a first radius of curvature in section in a sliding movement direction in a state where the window glass is mounted on a vehicle. The holder includes a connecting portion and a holder body. The connecting portion extends in a direction away from a lower edge of the holder body, and the connecting portion at least partly includes a circular arcuate portion having a second radius of curvature in section in the sliding movement direction.

  • Publication number: 20230331318
    Abstract: A bracket includes a base to be bonded to a surface of a side edge portion of a glass. The side edge portion and the base are joined with a combination of at least two types of adhesives. A first adhesive has a shorter curing time than a second adhesive. The second adhesive provides stronger joining after cured than the first adhesive. In the joining, the bracket is stabilized from the outside while the side edge portion and the base are in contact with each other with the first adhesive and the second adhesive interposed therebetween. The stabilization of the bracket from the outside is released upon the first adhesive being cured. Curing the second adhesive is allowed to proceed while the bracket continues to be stabilized with the first adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20230032295
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a window glass for vehicle that prevents intensity of light to be used in optical equipment attached to a vehicle from being attenuated, and that is easier to handle while having a component unit. A window glass for vehicle comprises: a laminated glass including a vehicle inner glass plate, a vehicle outer glass plate and an interlayer film; and a component unit. A vehicle inner glass plate is cut-out at a portion of the periphery of the laminated glass, and in the portion, the component unit is arranged. A vehicle inner surface of the laminated glass fits on the flush with a vehicle inner surface of the component unit, at least in a region, on a boundary between the laminated glass and the component unit.

  • Patent number: 11007950
    Abstract: A mounting base for mounting in-vehicle components on an interior side of a vehicle glass, comprising a mirror base for mounting a rear-view mirror, and a component base for mounting an in-vehicle component other than the rear-view mirror is provided. The mirror base and the component base are each at least partially exposed on a mounting surface side of the vehicle glass. The mirror base is fixed to the component base, and formed of a material having a modulus of longitudinal elasticity greater than a modulus of longitudinal elasticity of the component base.
