  • Publication number: 20200223528
    Abstract: A laminated glazing includes a first and a second glass sheet that are bonded by a first interlayer adhesive layer, a peripheral zone of the laminated glazing being covered by a stepped metal element, a window press that is rigidly connected to the structure for mounting the laminated glazing making contact with the laminated glazing, so as to hold the laminated glazing secure to its mounting structure, an electrical conductor linking the stepped metal element and the structure for mounting the laminated glazing by way of the window press.

  • Publication number: 20200223189
    Abstract: A laminated glazing includes a first and a second glass sheet that are bonded by a first interlayer adhesive layer, a peripheral zone of the laminated glazing being covered by a stepped metal element, the laminated glazing including a heating network of wires and/or a heating electrically conductive layer that is provided with busbars, a plurality of probes and other optional electrical elements that are linked to an electrical power supply via the connector of the laminated glazing, an electrical conductor linking the stepped metal element to a busbar of the heating network of wires and/or of the heating electrically conductive layer; and/or to the cap of the connector of the laminated glazing, which is linked to the ground of the structure for mounting the laminated glazing; and/or to a contact of the connector.

  • Publication number: 20200215797
    Abstract: A laminated glazing has a plurality of rigid transparent substrates that are bonded to one another pairwise via an intercalary adhesive layer, at least one of these transparent substrates being coated with an electrically conductive layer that is substantially uniform in nature and thickness, a zone of which has four edges opposing one another in pairs, first and second busbars being arranged along two opposite edges, ablation lines of the electrically conductive layer closing in on themselves while forming non-conductive strips, each occupying a major portion of the distance between the busbars, the shape of the non-conductive strips being capable of providing a temperature of heating by the electrically conductive layer that is virtually constant over the entire area of the zone.

  • Publication number: 20190381767
    Abstract: A laminated glazing includes one or two plies of 0.5 to 12 mm thickness, and one or more structural plies of 3 to 20 mm thickness, wherein at least that face of at least one ply of 0.5 to 12 mm thickness which is oriented toward the one or more structural plies and/or at least one face of the latter includes an electrically conductive layer of thickness comprised between 2 and 1600 nm, except on at least one ablation line, the edges of this line having no hem, and their average slope being at most equal to 5%.
