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: 7090906Abstract: Fire resistant safety glasses are provided that included wire glasses having another layer of fire resistant material. In certain embodiments, a piece of wire glass has a sheet of fire resistant film adhered thereto. Such glasses have improved impact resistance compared to conventional wire glasses. Fire resistant safety glasses are also provided that combine improved impact resistance and fire protection and in some embodiments, improved thermal insulation, improved reflectivity and shielding against ionizing radiation. Safety glasses of this invention can be made using non-tempered or tempered glass, fire resistant plastics, fire resistant fiberglass, ceramics and other fire resistant glazing materials, and can be made in multiple layers, having one or more pieces of wire glass or fire resistant glazing materials. Fire resistant safety glasses of this invention can be made inexpensively and can have improved properties compared to conventional wire glass.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2002Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: O'Keeffe's, Inc.Inventor: William O'Keeffe
