Abstract: A composite pane with functional film includes a peripheral edge of the composite pane, a peripheral edge of the functional film, a busbar, an outer pane with exterior-side and interior-side surfaces, an inner pane with exterior-side and interior-side surfaces, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer that joins the interior-side surface of the outer pane to the exterior-side surface of the inner pane. The functional film is encased in the thermoplastic intermediate layer, the peripheral edge of the functional film is set back in the direction of the surface center of the composite pane relative to the peripheral edge of the composite pane, and the busbar is arranged between the interior-side surface of the outer pane and the exterior-side surface of the inner pane and runs between the peripheral edge of the composite pane and the peripheral edge of the functional film in the edge region of the composite pane.

Abstract: An apparatus for immobilizing a pane having a circumferential side edge within a positional tolerance on a carrier mold, wherein the apparatus includes a stopper, which is movable between a first position and a second position, which has a free end and an end opposite the free end that is connected to a device for moving the stopper between the first position and the second position. In the second position, the free end of the stopper is directed toward the side edge of the pane to be immobilized and the distance between the free end of the stopper and the side edge corresponds at most to the positional tolerance. In the first position, the free end of the stopper is offset back and/or upward in the plane of the pane compared to the second position.

Abstract: A frame for supporting a sheet of glass, referred to as a suction frame, includes a contact path for receiving the periphery of the underside face of the sheet of glass, and includes a suction system able to apply suction to the underside face of the sheet in order to enhance the retention of the sheet by the frame. This frame may form part of a device for the hot-bending of the sheet and convey the sheet with high acceleration or deceleration through a heating enclosure for the purposes of the hot-bending of the sheet.
