Patent number: 11697270Abstract: A method for producing a composite pane, includes arranging a functional element in a recess of a thermoplastic frame film, arranging the thermoplastic frame film along with the functional element between a first glass pane and a second glass pane to form a layer stack, and subsequent joining of the layer stack by lamination to form a composite pane. The thermoplastic frame film and the functional element have a different thickness and the different thickness is at least partially compensated by at least one thermoplastic compensating film, whose thickness is less than twice as large as the difference between the thicknesses of the thermoplastic frame film and the functional element such that the maximum offset in the layer stack is less than the difference between the thicknesses of the thermoplastic frame film and the functional element.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: SAINT-GOBAIN GLASS FRANCEInventors: Ali-Osman Kizmaz, Horst Mercks, Walter Goerenz

Patent number: 7414357Abstract: A window (1) with an opaque coating (2) comprising a surface region (3) which has opaque surface portions (5) and which is perforated by surface portions (4) allowing light to pass through and distributed over the surface. At least one flat electroluminescent light element (EL) with several layers, including a transparent electrode (8), is placed in at least some of the opaque surface portions (5) of the surface region (3), which element, after applying an electrical supply voltage to the side of the transparent electrode (8), radiates light through at least one of the faces of the window (1).Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2002Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Saint-Gobain Glass FranceInventors: Bernhard Reul, Volkmar Offermann, Horst Mercks, Walter Goerenz, Dieter Linnhoefer

Patent number: 7135219Abstract: In a composite pane having a film laminate which adhesively connects two rigid panes to one another to form a pane assembly and comprises at least one colored adhesive film and at least one uncolored adhesive film which can be fused on during production of the pane assembly, according to the invention, at least one intermediate layer is provided between the two differently colored fused-on adhesive films and results in a uniform flattening of the mutually facing surfaces of the two adhesive films while being fused on. This results in the finished product being homogeneously colored when being looked through.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2003Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: Saint-Gobain Glass FranceInventors: Volkmar Offermann, Walter Goerenz, Ludwig Linden, Michael Steffens, Heinz Schilde

Patent number: 7056586Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a laminated glazing unit including of at least two transparent panes, one of which is provided on its surface facing the inside of the composite with a corrosion-protected transparent surface coating. The panes are joined together by layers of adhesive. The transparent surface coating is removed along at least one edge of the coated pane in a region between 0.1 mm and 5 mm from the peripheral edge of the pane in the direction of the main surface of the pane, and a protective layer impermeable to the diffusion of water vapor, covering the external boundary edge of the transparent surface coating, is applied along that edge of the coated pane from which the coating has been removed. The invention also relates to a laminated glazing unit with a corrosion-protected transparent surface coating.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2001Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Saint-Gobain Glass FranceInventors: Walter Goerenz, Ullrich Billert, Dieter Linnhöfer, Walter Nievelstein, Rolf Van Der Meulen, Volkmar Offermann

Patent number: 5605591Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fabricating laminated glazing comprising at least one enamel layer, wherein is deposited an enamelled composition comprising an anti-adhesive frit, a medium and, optionally, a low melt point frit on a portion of the internal face of a glass sheet; the enamelled glass sheet is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature between 150.degree. C. and the glass deformation temperature, and a second glass sheet is placed on the enamelled side of the first glass sheet before simultaneous bending of the two glass sheets, final firing of the enamel taking place during bending.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1995Date of Patent: February 25, 1997Assignee: Saint-Gobain Vitrage InternationalInventors: Andre Beyrle, Walter Goerenz, Dieter K ustner, Wolfgang Schafer

Patent number: 5099105Abstract: An electrically heated automobile glazing has a surface coating (14) serving as resistance heater and a frame-shaped decorative layer (15) of an opaque bakable enamel. Frame-shaped decorative layer (15) consists of an electrically conductive bakable enamel and is in electrically conductive contact with surface coating (14). Current supply conductors (16) are made of thin strips of metal or metallic strips and are in electric contact with decorative layer (15). Surface coating (14) can be deposited between the surface of the glass and decorative layer (15) or between decorative layer (15) and current supply conductor (16).Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1990Date of Patent: March 24, 1992Assignee: Saint-Gobain Vitrage InternationalInventors: Walter Goerenz, Achim Muller, Wolfgang Schafer
