Abstract:
The invention relates to a safety glass construction for safety motor vehicles whose body parts are lined with bullet-proof matting or other bullet-proof material in a direction toward the passenger area. The motor vehicle has an armored pane in which at least one pane (3.1) made of safety glass or one pane packet comprises of at least two bonded panes (3.1 and 3.2) also made of safety glass is connected to the outer pane (2). A strip (1) made of a bullet-proof material is arranged between the outer pane (2) and the pane packet (3) and/or between at least two panes (3.1, 3.2) of the pane packet (3) and/or on the pane of the packet (3) pointing toward the passenger area. Said strip overlaps the area up to the bullet-proof matting (5) or to the bullet-proof material of the connecting body parts (7).
Abstract:
A laminated glazing which comprises at least two rigid transparent substrates joined by an interlayer comprising at least one sheet of thermoplastic, the interlayer having at least one cut-out over at least part of its thickness in its marginal part, the cut-out having a hard insert therein.
Abstract:
A window panel assembly for use in a vehicle includes a window panel having interior and exterior surfaces and a power strip attached to the interior surface of the window panel. The power strip includes a channel receiving an electrically powered accessory such as a map light. The accessory is movable to a number of positions within the channel to accommodate the needs of a vehicle occupant. Preferably, the assembly is used in the roof area of the vehicle such that the accessory is supported overhead of the passenger compartment. An opaque frit layer may be included on the window panel to conceal the power strip when the assembly is viewed from the exterior.
Abstract:
A bulletproof glass window, for preferred use in a motor vehicle, includes at least one glass pane (10) and a metal insert arranged in a marginal stepped area of the glass pane (10). The insert (32) is fixed to the glass pane (10) with polyurethane (30).
Abstract:
Fabricating a panel comprising a rigid mounting frame surrounding a laminated transparency having a metal reinforcing insert embedded therein in such a manner that the insert is parallel to the outer major surface of the transparency after its fabrication.
Abstract:
Window panels that have edge portions which are out of desired contour have straps of molded fiber glass reinforced thermosetting resinous material adhered to and overlapping both sides of the panels in marginal areas outside the viewing area and extending outwardly from the edges of the panels providing structural supporting members which are molded to conform to the desired panel edge contour for precise fit with frame members of the supporting structures. The straps for each unit are applied between its window panel and a frame member that conforms in shape to an aircraft mounting in an uncured state so that they conform to the respective shapes of the window panel and the frame member. While under heat and pressure during lamination, the straps cure to form rigid connecting members rigidly secured to the window panel, thus forming a rigid unitary structure whose outline shape conforms to that of the aircraft mounting.
Abstract:
Thermally insulating and transparent laminated glass consisting of at least two superimposed sheets of glass with an interlayer of a solid aqueous alkali metal silicate between each two sheets of glass.
Abstract:
Laminated window panels comprised of an assembly of rigid, transparent sheets bonded together by plastic interlayer material and utilizing fiber glass reinforced thermosetting resinous material in marginal areas of the panels outside their viewing area (1) as protection for electrical terminal blocks and lead wire connections, (2) as interlayer inserts for the prevention of delamination and/or cold chipping and for reinforcing the interlayer material, and (3) as edge frames or channeling disposed about the periphery of the panels for edge and interlayer protection.
