Publication number: 20200024895Abstract: A transparent safety panel for producing resistant, surface flush butt joint glazing, including two plates and a receiving profile. The two plates are spaced apart from each other and are arranged substantially parallel to each other. The safety panel has an abutting end side and a mounting end side extending at a right angle from the abutting end side. The mounting end side can be mounted in the frame and permit fixing of the safety panel in the frame. The receiving profile is arranged between the spaced apart plates in a border region in the vicinity of the abutting end side. The receiving profile forms an open groove towards the abutting end side. A further safety panel can be connected to the safety panel in a surface flush manner without an additional frame via the abutting end side of the safety panel with the groove.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2017Publication date: January 23, 2020Inventors: Ralf Linden, Dennis Gresförder, Manfred Möllers, Christoph Bayer, Ulrich Hermens, Rolf Kochs

Patent number: 10183470Abstract: A flame-retardant composite glass including a plurality of glass panes and a flame-retardant intermediate layer that is arranged between two first glass panes and includes a flame-retardant material that foams or swells up in the event of a fire, as well as an attack-resistant layer having a transparent plastic that is solid at room temperature. The flame-retardant composite glass has, between the first glass panes, an edge compound extending along and around the edges such that a chamber filled with said flame-retardant material is defined by the first glass panes and the edge compound. Between at least one of the first glass panes and the flame-retardant material, a primer layer is arranged that includes a material whose adhesion to the flame-retardant intermediate layer and/or to the glass pane becomes weaker in flame-retardant test conditions than it is in room temperature conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCEInventors: Norbert Schwankhaus, Ulrich Hermens, Udo Gelderie

Patent number: 7273532Abstract: An assembly element to be inserted into a bore, with two compensating elements fitting one into the other and having eccentric bores. The assembly element is provided for transmission of forces to the inner surface of the hole of the bore and for positioning the longitudinal axes of a fastening element within the through-bore, and is produced with a smaller radial dimension with respect to at least one exit of the bore in the outer face of the plate for forming a slot and can be fastened in the bore by a sealing agent filling the slot. An assembly element for a laminated pane, which includes at least three individual panes and has at least one hole passing through all the individual panes for installing or accommodating a rod-shaped fastening element, includes an attached element with a through-bore to be fastened to the outer panes, and a mechanism for aligning deviations of the hole centers of the two through-bores.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2001Date of Patent: September 25, 2007Assignee: Saint-Gobain Glass FranceInventors: Christian Eckelt, Roland Leopoldseder, Ulrich Hermens, Matthias Meissner
