Abstract: A motorcycle windshield assembly includes two frame units coupled to a windshield. Each frame unit includes a pair of corresponding adjusting elements jointly enclosing an end of an installation rod. Each pair of the adjusting elements are fitted into receiving spaces of a corresponding pair of left and right covers such that teeth formed on each pair of the adjusting elements mesh with teeth formed in the corresponding pair of left and right covers. Each pair of the left and right covers have a side provided with guide grooves for receiving a sliding element coupled to the windshield. Thus, the windshield coupled to the frame units can be conveniently raised, lowered, or tilted to provide the desired shielding effect. The motorcycle windshield assembly is flexibly adjustable in height and tilt angle and is collapsible when not in use.

Abstract: A vehicle slider assembly has a frame, upon which a fixed panel and an upper and a lower track are attached, and a slider panel assembly that moves in the tracks. The frame defines a window opening that the moving slider panel assembly opens and closes. The interior surfaces of the frame provide constant sealing surfaces for seals attached to the outwardly directed slider panel surfaces. The lower horizontal portion of the frame is adjacent to the lower track and has drain holes through it. The lower track has a reservoir channel defined in it, such that, moisture that is interior to the vehicle slider assembly accumulates in the reservoir channel and flows through the drain holes to the exterior of the vehicle slider assembly. An appliqué may be disposed over the exterior of the lower frame portion so that the flow of the moisture is hidden in an unencumbered and aesthetically pleasing manner.

Abstract: A retractable windshield and flare panel assembly for a motorcycle includes a vertically moveable windshield and a pair of oppositely-moving, horizontally-retractable flare panels. A motor-driven drive screw drives a vertically moving threaded drive block. The drive block engages the windshield to move the windshield vertically. A pair of flare panel sliders are also mounted to the drive block and engage elongated slots in the flare panels. The elongated slots extend in both horizontal and vertical directions so that the flare panel sliders function as cams to move the flare panels horizontally. The drive screw is turned by a reversible motor to move the threaded drive block up and down. This vertically positions the windshield and by cam action horizontally positions the flare panel slides on each side of the windshield module.

Abstract: A vertically adjustable glass pane for automobiles, especially a door window pane, is of laminated glass consisting of two thermally toughened single glass sheets, each 1.5 to 3 mm thick, and of a thermoplastic intermediate layer. Both the glass sheets have, in their edge region, tensile stresses in the core having a value from 27 to 57 MN/m.sup.2 for a sheet thickness of 1.5 mm and 20 to 47 MN/m.sup.2 for a sheet thickness of 3 mm. In the middle area within the peripheral region the glass sheets have tensile stresses in the core which, in the case of a glass sheet of 1.5 mm thickness, have values of 25 to 42 MN/m.sup.2 and, with a glass thickness of 3 mm, values of 17.5 to 33 MN/m.sup.2. Laminated glass panes of this type have a comparatively high strength in the peripheral region and low strength in the middle area. They possess excellent properties both from a structural design standpoint and also from the standpoint of safety in case of accident.
